Jacoby Shaddix

I live real close to the American River and there's all these horse trails that I'll just go out and I will go run those trails until I'm physically exhausted and I just come back renewed

and I work out, I don't run to music.

So I, I process a lot of these questions and anxieties and frustrations and, you know, songs come to me in those moments and lyric ideas come to me in those moments.

And, you know, so, so I do that.

I, I, I'm very mindful of my eating habits and, you know, just as jelly, like, you know, food is sometimes been a thing to me.

Like,

I'm a binging kind of guy.

And so putting those things in check and like having some discipline and obedience in my life is really like giving me like, it's strengthened me, you know?

Um, and I think also, uh, breath work is, has been something for me that's like phenomenal.

Yeah.

During COVID, when everybody's locked up, a really good friend of mine, this guy named Sonny Mayo, he's a sober brother of mine.

He was running a breathwork class on Zoom.

And he's like, dude, you should show up to one of these.

And I showed up and I did this 25-minute breathwork.

And it was just like a floodgate of emotion just broke in me.

And I just like...

just all these things that I was carrying around, it just flooded out.

And he gave me some sound advice, you know, because I was really struggling for a moment.

And he's like, can I suggest something to you?

I'm like, yeah, man, I'll take anything right now.
