In 2015, Sophie created the movement #RiseFierce which uses cold water swimming and kinship to empower women.

About the Podcast

Honestly Unbalanced
Honest and open conversations with people that have spent their lives, trying to makes yours better.
The surface level of the wellness world is often a high gloss, picture perfect representation of balanced living. Adam and Holly Husler dig under that shiny surface and discover that the balanced-state is often a fleeting moment, with the rest of life being an ever-changing obstacle course of; struggles, opportunities, sweat and hard work.

Though honest conversations, we track our guests' unique paths to success, how they navigate changing tides and the continuous search for their own version of happiness.

@adamhusler and @iamhollyhusler are a London-based couple, leading yoga classes, trainings and sound journeys around the world.
