#55: Liam Casson, movement, connection, and using technology for good

Liam Casson is an educator turned wellbeing leader whose work spans schools, sport, and the corporate world. A former Director of Wellbeing in education, he now leads education and wellbeing at Seafeld Investments and serves as CEO of Reset Moves, a gamified movement platform designed to help children and adults reset their bodies and brains. Liam and Megan first met in the Master of Applied Positive Psychology program at the University of Melbourne, and this conversation brings that shared foundation into focus: evidence-informed practice, real-world impact, and deep care for people.

In this episode, Liam and Megan explore the story behind Reset Moves and how movement can become an accessible, joyful tool for regulation and learning. They talk about active screen time, co-design with teachers, therapists, and families, and how the platform is being used across classrooms, therapy rooms, and homes to create short, effective “reset” moments. Liam shares practical examples for educators seeking brain breaks and behaviour support, and for parents wanting simple ways to get kids moving. The discussion also widens to wellbeing more broadly: small consistent practices, listening to the body as life changes, modelling healthy routines at home, and making space for connection and family rituals.

This conversation is a reminder that change often starts with simple, doable actions. Liam’s work shows how creativity, community, and smart use of technology can open new pathways to engagement and care. Whether you are an educator, a therapist, a parent, or a leader building healthier teams, you will find practical ideas and plenty of heart here.
