What if rest and movement weren’t opposites — but part of the same conversation with your body?
In this grounding episode, Rachel is joined by Olivia Berggren, physiotherapist and founder of Move With Ease, to explore how our bodies speak to us — and how learning to listen changes everything.
Olivia shares how her background in yoga led her to, physiotherapy, somatic practices, nervous system awareness, and intuitive movement. Together, they talk about the subtle signals our bodies give us, the cultural pressure to “push through,” and how we can begin to respond with more compassion, curiosity, and ease.
This is an episode for anyone navigating the question: Do I need to move — or do I need to soften?
You’ll hear about:
💫 The shift from fixing the body to being with it
💫 How somatic practices help us reconnect and regulate
💫 Ways to explore rest and movement as complementary
💫 What it means to live in rhythm with your nervous system
Whether you’re feeling stuck, wired, or simply tired, this conversation is an invitation to meet your body where it is — and remember how to listen.
🎧 Tune in and let the body lead.
