Ripped Apart

Ripped Apart grew from Rochelle Rice’s own experience of feeling fragmented and disconnected from herself. For years, she found herself looking outside of herself for answers while overlooking the signals her own body was sending. Through movement, self awareness, and learning to combine the wisdom of her body with the wisdom of her mind, she discovered a more grounded and empowered way of living.

Inspired by this journey and her decades of work in movement, fitness, and leadership, Rochelle wrote Ripped Apart to help readers recognize and trust the information their bodies provide. Through practical exercises, reflection, and personal stories, she guides readers from feeling fragmented toward becoming more grounded, integrated, and fiercely connected to themselves.
