The Restfluencers

After an unintentional little break, we’re back (yes again!) In this catch-up episode, Emily and Anna sit down for a much-needed check-in. We talk about what’s been going on in our lives lately, how we’ve both been feeling, and what rest (or the lack of it) has looked like for each of us. It’s a casual, honest conversation about navigating life, work, and everything in between. If you’ve ever hit pause without meaning to, this one’s for you.

We chat about her approach to training, how team sports shaped her mindset, and—most impressively—how she prioritizes sleep as part of her performance. Tune in for insights on movement, competition, and the importance of rest as part of a training plan! Follow Hermione on Instagram here
