Hi, I'm Rico.

In my twenties I was a massage therapist. Hands-on, people-first.

Then I went into sales. Fifteen years. Five times in President's Club.

From the outside, I was crushing it. From the inside, I was running on fumes and calling it drive.

I checked every deal before I checked myself.

Rest felt like something I had to justify. I never quite managed to.

Eventually it stopped working. All of it.

I walked into a 12-step program and took an honest look at my patterns. Not fun. Very useful.

I left a ten-year marriage that hadn't fit for a long time.

I learned what people-pleasing was, mostly by noticing how much of my day it ran.

And I moved to Rhode Island to be closer to the ocean.

Slowly, my life started organizing around what felt true instead of what looked good.

Somewhere in there I noticed the thing nobody mentions at the sales kickoff.

Where your attention goes, and how you breathe, changes how the whole day feels.

Tight shoulders? Information. A racing head at 2 am? Also information.

You don't need a new you. You need to get back in the one you've got.

That's the work now. Breathwork, coaching, and a lot of long, slow exhales.

Not a guru. Not a therapist either. I don't fix you, and I don't promise outcomes.

I'm on your side, and I'll still tell you the true thing.

No gurus here, just a guy who's a few reps ahead.

Right now. Jaw, shoulders, stomach. Pick one.

Breathe out slowly and see if it lets go a little.
