What lessons did the Hof sisters learn from their father's teachings?
do things right act to almost soothe this hurt that he was feeling it was a way for him to escape but then it became a way of healing but it was also the reason that he went into these extremes like sitting in a bucket for two hours who does that well a person maybe that is super driven it made my father driven to the point that he went into these extremes doing marathon bare feet
climbing a mountain, even the Mount Everest up until the death zone, 7,800 meters in shorts. This practice that my father used to heal himself Later on, we also, we love to practice for different reasons. We see it as one of the best modalities to regulate yourself, to really come to a center point of yourself where you can go through life in a balanced way.
It healed him, but then he brought it out into the world. He has a purity of heart, of mind, of being. That is my thought. That's a childlike purity. And he gave it to anybody who was willing to listen, anybody who needed it.

What if true strength came from not pushing through, but from learning how to pause, breathe, and listen? That's exactly what today's guests, Isabel and Laura Hoff, are here to share. As daughters of the legendary Wim Hof, known globally as the Iceman, Isabel and Laura are not just continuing their father's legacy, they're rewriting it through a deeply female lens.
In their new book, Secrets of the Ice Women, they explore how breathwork, cold exposure, Thank you so much for having me. We go into the real science behind cold exposure and inflammation. We discuss what it means to regulate your nervous system and become your own healer and why strength doesn't have to look loud to be life-changing.
I have a very candid discussion with Isabel and Laura on their upbringing, the lessons learned from their father and how they've applied these teachings in their own lives, especially in the context of raising children and navigating personal hardships. This message is so much more than cold therapy. It's about reclaiming our inner stillness in a world that won't stop moving.
