Rest Like an Olympian
This episode explores recovery as the “other half” of training — not just for the body, but for the mind, nervous system, and spirit. Olivia breaks down the difference between sympathetic “go mode” and parasympathetic “rest and digest,” shares her favorite recovery tools (sauna, cold plunge, stretching, yoga, PT), and explains why alignment between your habits and your goals matters. The episode closes with a humming practice to calm the nervous system and a journal prompt to help you become the athlete you’re dreaming about.
