The Rested You, with Rachel Brownbridge & Guests

Episode 16: If You’re Always the Strong One, This Is for You

Do you find yourself being the one people rely on? The one who holds space, supports others, and keeps everything going? In this episode, we talk honestly about holding and being held, the beauty and the challenge of being the strong one, and the importance of letting ourselves receive support too. Through personal reflections and gentle conversation, Claudia and Rachel explore what it means to soften, to be supported, and to remember that even the ones who hold so much deserve to be held.

Episode 15: The Body As A Resource, With Miriam Morgenstern

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.

Episode 14: Why Rest Feels So Hard - with Author Siw Aduvil

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. https://www.siwaduvill.com/ [https://www.siwaduvill.com/]

Episode 12: A Gentle End to the Year: Rest, Reflection & Christmas Realities

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.
