EP 18: When Working Out Feels Like Play: Radical Rebounding with Rachel Lawrence

Sometimes healing looks like putting on music, getting on a trampoline, and letting your body remember what it feels like to play. When my guest this week told me she broke her first trampoline in two weeks from bouncing too hard, I knew this was going to be a fun conversation.Today I'm joined by Rachel Lawrence - founder of Radical Rebounding and Sedona-based studio owner. At her core, everything Rachel shares comes from lived experience - not just movement, but healing, resilience, and learning how to come home to herself after seasons of burnout, disconnection, and doing all the things without feeling truly alive. Radical Rebounding was born from that frequency. The trampoline became a tool, but the real work has always been about nervous system regulation, self-trust, joy, and remembering our bodies as safe, wise, and powerful.Rachel and I dropped in about what it really looks like to build something from nothing - the borrowed money, the broken trampolines, the therapist visits before hitting record for the first time. We talked about what movement can unlock emotionally, why women need spaces where they feel safe enough to be a little feral, and how the shift from "I have to" to "I get to" rippled into every corner of her life.One of the threads that kept weaving through our conversation was this idea that courage and confidence are not the same thing. Rachel didn't wait until she felt confident to start - she moved forward scared and unsure, and let the courage carry her. That truth hit me deeply, and I think it will hit you too.This episode will help give you permission to move your body differently, to let play be part of your healing, and to take the next step before your brain has a chance to talk you out of it.We also talk about:The science behind rebounding and why it's so effective for the lymphatic systemHow Rachel started her business during a divorce with almost no money - and then covid hitEmotional release through movement and what it looks like in her classesThe entrepreneurial journey from leading classes in the mirror to training studios worldwideEpisode-Related Resources:⁠Read the blog post for this episode!
