Episode Details

In this honest and open conversation, we reflect on how our relationships with our bodies have evolved over the past decade, from student all-nighters and coffee-fueled burnout to a more attuned, mindful approach shaped by yoga, motherhood, and life experience.

We explore:

• What “body awareness” really means
• How chronic stress, anxiety, and burnout show up physically
• Our very different (but equally chaotic) student years
• How practising yoga changed the way we treat ourselves
• The messy process of learning to rest without guilt, especially as moms
• How motherhood redefines what “energy management” looks like

This episode is for anyone who’s ever ignored their body’s signals until it screamed and wants to do things differently. It’s about noticing the red flags sooner, tuning into your real needs, and making peace with not doing all the things, all the time.
