Emma Dabiri, author, academic and broadcaster, rounds out the final guest episode of Listen Loudly.  We talk movement, our experiences of racism growing up in Ireland, and how we have been conditioned to separate the mind from the body, far beyond what the beauty or advertising industry have been able to influence. 

Tune into episode 8 of Listen Loudly to hear my conversation with my dear friend Emma, where we go deep on the concept of deep work and deep rest. We talk about our mutual experiences as adolescents in Ireland, the separation of mind and body, the love affair she has with swimming in the sea, and her relationship to deep rest.  

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• Emma’s inspiration behind her most recent book Disobedient Bodies (02:52)
• The work it took me to reconnect with my body after my eldest was born (17:03)
• How Emma’s relationship with movement has evolved throughout her life (22:31)
• Emma believes that if she can be dedicated to movement, anyone can (32:29)
• In fitness, your training age is different from your physical age (36:08)
