Lilly sits down with Laurent Roure to explore what it truly means to rest.
Together they unpack the difference between rest and relaxation, the stages of relaxation, and how breath, awareness, and gentle somatic movement support the nervous system. They also discuss insomnia, anxiety, and burnout—examining the emotional and physical roots of sleeplessness and how to restore healthy circadian rhythms.
