Your body isn’t the obstacle—your state is the key. We take you into the fiery heart of resilience, exploring how a few focused steps across hot coals can reset what you believe is possible and mirror the same nervous system shifts Naomi creates on the chiropractic table. When fear drives, adaptability shrinks. When joy, purpose, and connection lead, the parasympathetic system wakes up—and the “impossible” becomes a measured step.

We unpack why firewalking can be safe when facilitated well, touch on the limited research and theories about heat transfer, and put most of the weight on what consistently matters: your internal state. You’ll hear how intention, music, breath, and ritual help people walk without injury, and why “kisses” often teach that ego, pressure, or anxiety had the wheel. The conversation moves from spectacle to science-informed practice, connecting the dots between stress physiology, the prefrontal cortex, and real-world behaviour change.

This isn’t just about coals. It’s about building self-trust through achievable commitments that reinforce “I am consistent.” We contrast the damage of overpromising with the quiet power of small wins, and offer a grounded path to resilience that anyone can follow—whether your next step is a glass of water, a brave phone call, or a carefully guided firewalk. Naomi shares her journey from participant to instructor, why she treats every fire with fresh respect, and how chiropractic, breathwork, firewalking, and sweat lodges serve one mission: helping you access your body’s natural intelligence.
