Episode Synopsis


Episode 7: Movement & Shared Rhythm
In this walking episode, Sarah reflects on her recent trip to Colombia, her history living and playing rugby there, and how travel reconnects her to different parts of herself. From there, she explores how movement and shared rhythm can support our nervous systems—whether through walking, sports, music, or fitness classes like Ski Babes.
Along the way, Sarah shares a vivid bear encounter in Alaska, insights from somatic experiencing, and the difference between synchronization and resonance. She also touches on the complexities of movement when facing injury, illness, or comparison, and offers gentle strategies for finding your own pace.
