Unlocking Mental Clarity & Resilience Through Cold Plunging with Kris Rice

In this episode of Sacred Harmony, we welcome Kris Rice, founder of ChillPod, a luxury cold immersion system designed for high achievers looking for a quick, effective reset. Kris’s journey into cold plunging started not as a wellness guru but as a mom searching for ways to support her daughter’s mental health—all while unknowingly neglecting her own. What started as a desperate backyard experiment turned into a life-changing practice that transformed her mental clarity, resilience, and energy levels.

We dive deep into the science behind cold exposure, how it resets the nervous system, and the real mental and physical benefits of cold plunging, including reduced stress, better sleep, increased focus, and even pain relief. Kris also shares simple, actionable tips for beginners to ease into the practice without intimidation.

If you’re feeling mentally drained, overwhelmed, or just curious about trying something new, this episode is for you. It’s time to take the plunge—literally!

About Kris Rice:  

Kris Rice is the founder of ChillPod, a premium cold immersion brand that makes cold plunging accessible for busy, high-performing individuals. Her journey from a reluctant cold water skeptic to a passionate advocate for the practice has inspired many.

Key Takeaways:  

✔️ Cold plunging is a powerful tool for stress management, mental clarity, and emotional resilience.
✔️ It works by resetting the nervous system, helping the body transition from a chronic fight-or-flight state to a calm, balanced one.
✔️ It boosts dopamine (the happy hormone) and lowers cortisol (the stress hormone), leading to instant mood enhancement and better focus.
✔️ Cold exposure doesn’t have to be extreme—you can start small with cold showers or even dipping your hands in ice water.
✔️ Women are often left out of cold immersion spaces, and Kris is on a mission to change that by making it more accessible and inviting.
✔️ Balancing entrepreneurship & wellness comes down to small daily rituals—cold plunging, journaling, meditation, and movement.
