A conversation about body trust, resilience, and the courage to slow down.
Alex and Alexis talk to SoulCycle instructor and movement coach Rachael Brooke about creating a life you don't have to recover from. Rachael shares how growing up with scoliosis led her to dance, how injury eventually guided her to SoulCycle, and the pivotal moments that taught her she couldn’t keep pushing past her limits. Together, they explore the mind–body connection, the intelligence of pain, and the shift from treating the body like a project to treating it like a friend. The episode closes with a reflection on grief, animals, and the ways we keep learning how to come home to ourselves.
