211: The Effective, Accessible Remedy for a Struggling Mind with Rio Wilson

16 Sep 2026 · 47 min

I wanted someone who isn't just pointing out that movement is good for our mental health, but who's actually doing something to help us bridge that gap.

So today we have the pleasure of hearing from Rio Wilson, licensed counselor and founder of the Brain-Body Therapy app. She joins me to unpack the connection between our brains and our bodies.

I share about a wild time when moving my body helped me get over a major heartbreak, and Rio walks us through which types of movement works best for different mental health conditions, where to start, and more.
