Thursday, July 3, 2025 • Duration 01:10:37

In this heartfelt conversation, Rachel is joined by her dear friend and co-creator of The Rested You, Claudia Menger. Together, they reflect on the roots of their work, the deeper call towards rest, and how listening to the body became both a personal and professional revolution.

Claudia shares her journey—from early burnout to becoming a guide for others—and how pregnancy yoga, feminine care, and deep rest shaped her path. This episode is a beautiful unraveling of how The Rested You came to be, the values it’s rooted in, and why rest is so much more than not doing.

You’ll hear about:

Claudia’s personal rest story and her relationship to the nervous system
The role of cyclical wisdom, pregnancy, and feminine care in her teaching
Why The Rested You is more than a business—it’s a movement
How the facilitator training came to life from lived experience and shared passion

This is a tender and honest conversation between two friends who are deeply committed to redefining rest—not as escape, but as remembering.

Episode 9: Sleep, Rest & Rewiring the Brain — with Dr. Laura Bojarskaité

Monday, October 20, 2025 • Duration 01:10:41

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.

Monday, February 16, 2026 • Duration 01:45:55

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.
