In this episode of The Rested You Podcast, we’re joined by Miriam Morgenstern, founder of Bloom with Miriam, for a soft and heartfelt conversation about the body as a resource.

Together, we explore what can shift when we begin to relate to the body as something to listen to and trust, rather than something to push or override. We talk about how the body communicates through sensation, how rest and movement can support reconnection, and how meeting ourselves with kindness can change the way we move through life.

This episode is a gentle reminder that your body isn’t something to fix, it’s a place of wisdom, support, and refuge.

In this episode of The Rested You, Rachel is joined by Siw Aduvil, author of the book Hvile, for a thoughtful and honest conversation about rest.

Together, they explore why rest can feel so complicated, even when we know we need it, and the stories many of us carry around worth, productivity, and always needing to do more. Siw shares reflections on rest as something deeply human, not something to earn or optimise, but something we slowly remember and return to.

This conversation isn’t about fixing your relationship with rest. It’s about softening, listening, and creating space to relate to yourself differently.

If rest feels like something you’re always reaching for, this episode offers a gentle place to pause.

As the year comes to a close, we wanted to pause and have an honest conversation, just the two of us.

In this episode of The Rested You, we reflect on the year that’s been, what this season has asked of us, and how we’re navigating the realities of Christmas. The beauty, the expectations, the tiredness, and the longing for rest.

We talk about what’s supporting us, what’s challenging us, and how we’re creating small moments of softness and safety in the middle of it all.

There’s no fixing, no perfect way to do Christmas, just a real, gentle conversation about being human at this time of year.

Wherever you’re listening from, we’re really glad you’re here.

I’m so excited to share this episode with Anette Haave Åsheim- a musician, vocal coach, and yoga teacher who blends voice, breath, and movement in a deeply grounding way. We talk about how sound can support the nervous system, how breath shapes your inner state, and how Anette’s practice helps people reconnect with calm, joy, and presence.

If you’re curious about how voice, music, and yoga can help you find ease in your body and mind, this conversation is for you.

In this episode, Rachel sits down with Ina Kvam Leraand from Funkmedlivet to explore rest, safety, and the courage it takes to live in alignment with who we truly are.

Together, we look at how our early experiences shape the way we relate to safety as adults — and why learning to reach out, ask for support, and let ourselves feel safe in connection is such vital nervous system work. Ina shares her lived wisdom on authenticity, self-trust, and creating a life that genuinely supports your body and pace.

This is a grounding, gentle conversation that invites you to soften, slow down, and remember that you deserve rest simply because you exist.

What if better sleep could actually help rewire your brain?

In this energising and insightful episode, I chat with Dr. Laura Bojarskaité, a neuroscientist and sleep researcher whose work explores how rest and sleep shape our brains — and how they’re essential for memory, creativity, and simply feeling like ourselves.

Laura shares what actually happens in the brain while we sleep, why rest is about more than just clocking 8 hours, and how everyone can improve their sleep — even in the midst of a busy life. We also talk about the connection between rest, emotional well-being, and the brain’s incredible ability to change.

Whether you’re a night owl, burnout survivor, or just curious about how to feel more rested and alive — this one’s for you.

In this first part of our two-part series on sleep, we (Claudia & Rachel) sit down for an open and personal conversation about our own journeys with sleep. From restless nights to deep rest, we share the lessons we’ve learned over the years and how these experiences continue to shape the way we guide others in yoga nidra, sleep, and rest.

This episode is a gentle, real-life look at the ups and downs of sleep, why it matters so much, and how we’ve come to view it with more compassion and curiosity. We’ll explore the ways our personal stories have influenced our approach as teachers and facilitators, and why sleep remains one of the most powerful doorways into restoration and balance.

✨ Stay tuned for part two, where we’ll be joined by a sleep scientist to dive deeper into the research and practical tools.

In this playful and candid conversation, Rachel sits down with Michelle Baker to explore the threads of creativity, mentorship, and holding space through life’s changes.

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.
