The cold plunge trend is everywhere right now… but is it actually right for women?

In this episode of Spacious Success, we unpack the science behind cold exposure and why what works for men doesn’t always work for female physiology.

If you’ve ever tried an ice bath and felt more stressed instead of energised, you’re not imagining it.

We explore:

Why extreme cold can spike cortisol in women

The actual temperature sweet spot for benefits

Simple, realistic ways to use cold exposure (without turning your morning into a Navy SEAL audition)

Plus, practical alternatives if cold plunging just isn’t your thing.

If you’re a high-achieving woman already managing a full plate, this is about working with your body, not against it.
