Mia and the Accidental Polar Club

Mia never thought she’d *voluntarily* sit in a tub of freezing water. “My brother convinced me that cold plunges are some magical ‘wellness hack.’ I was skeptical, but after a long week of wrangling kids and stress, I figured… what’s the worst that could happen? Fast-forward to me sitting in a giant inflatable tub in my backyard, wearing a hoodie, yelling, ‘I CAN’T FEEL MY LEGS!’ My kids think it’s hilarious. But here’s the kicker—afterwards, I felt ridiculously calm and energized. Now they call me the family polar bear.”

So, would you brave the freeze for a clear mind? Or stick with bubble baths?
