Body Connection: Movement, Breathwork & Burnout Recovery for Real Life | Self Care

Описание: Movement isn’t “fitness.” It’s nervous system regulation, trauma recovery, and rebuilding your relationship with your own body — one breath, one rep, one choice at a time.

In this episode of Self Care with Geraldine Hardy, Geraldine is joined by Nenad Stanis, founder of Body Connection Movement, for a raw, grounded conversation about what self-care really looks like when life has been intense — and you still have to keep showing up.

Nenad shares his lived journey through childhood trauma, displacement, war, burnout, and reinvention — and explains why most people stay stuck: not because they’re lazy, but because they’re disconnected. From breathwork and embodied awareness to joint-safe strength progressions and micro-habits that actually stick, this episode is a practical roadmap for rebuilding stability from the inside out.

This isn’t motivational fluff. This is embodied recovery — with real tools you can start using today.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

Why movement is mental health, not a vanity project
How trauma and chronic stress show up as pain, tension, fatigue, and shutdown
The “awareness first” approach that prevents injury and builds real progress
Why 10–15 minutes can be enough to begin changing your nervous system
How breathwork can help you reset fast when you’re overwhelmed
Why gym culture often fails people — and what to do instead
How to build consistency without relying on motivation
Why “healers who’ve lived it” often teach differently (and more effectively)
