861 Feel Hot, Healthy, and Unbothered With Liz Tenuto

What if the key to better sleep and less stress wasn't doing more, but moving less?

In this episode, I sit down with Liz Tenuto, aka The Workout Witch, to talk about somatic exercises, nervous system regulation, and why so many of us can't sleep or relax.

Liz teaches tiny, lazy movements that release stored tension from the body, and she demonstrates three of them during our conversation. We also talk about why standard sleep advice fails trauma survivors, and how dissociation shows up in women who take care of everyone but themselves.

If you feel wired but tired and can't remember the last time you felt truly rested, this episode is for you.
