743. What It Really Means to Keep Learning - With Mark Walsh & Dr Helen Machen-Pearce

The Embodiment Coaching Podcast

I'm joined once again by my colleague Dr Helen Machen-Pearce to talk about real learning, not the tidy version sold in courses. We dig into how learning shows up as humility, awkward practice, and repeated failure, and why unlearning is often part of the job. We talk about concrete ways to set up experiments, how the body and attention shape what we actually absorb, and why learning is less about info and more about becoming different. Expect practical examples, honest stories about getting it wrong, and simple approaches to turn curiosity into lasting change. See more of Helen's work here: ...

742. Latin Femininity, Creativity and Coaching - With Carolina Padilla

The Embodiment Coaching Podcast

I spoke with Carolina Padilla, an embodiment teacher, CEC course manager and cultural activist from Colombia, about how embodiment can be a force for healing and leadership. We explored how movement, community and ritual help people reconnect to belonging, and how these practices can repair the social and cultural wounds left by colonisation and conflict. Carolina shares her perspective on leading from the body, working with collective trauma, and why cultural context matters when teaching embodiment.

741. True Healing Without Quick Fixes - With Dr Kandis Lock

The Embodiment Coaching Podcast

I spoke with Dr. Kandis Lock about what true healing looks like in a time of quick fixes and chronic stress. We explored how naturopathic medicine approaches health through connection - between body systems, emotions, lifestyle and environment. Kandis shared insights from her clinical experience, including the patterns she sees again and again in modern illness, and why many people don’t really need more pills - they need better awareness, rhythms and rest. We also talked about working with patients who feel stuck, the limits of Western medicine, and what holistic care looks like when it’s...

740. How Good Facilitation Changes Everything - With Myriam Hadnes

The Embodiment Coaching Podcast

I talk with Myriam Hadnes about what good facilitation actually looks like, and why it matters now more than ever. We cut through the jargon and compare facilitation, coaching and training, then get practical about how you create learning that sticks. Myriam and I dig into nervous system overload, psychological safety, and why embodied practices outperform information-only approaches. We also cover difficult conversations, holding space for emotion, boundary-setting, and what facilitative training looks like in an era of AI and endless content. If you run groups, teach, or coach, this...

739. How Screens Shape Young Minds - With Ranko Ceric

The Embodiment Coaching Podcast

I spoke with coach, youth worker and martial arts teacher Ranko Čerić about how technology is shaping children’s lives, health and attention. We explored what happens when screens become a constant presence from early childhood, how digital habits affect brain development, and why society has been slow to treat this as a public health issue. Ranko brings a systems view, looking at how parents, schools and the tech industry each play a role in shaping the digital environment children grow up in. We also talk about attention, addiction, social learning and what a healthy relationship with...

738. Embodiment Secrets About ADHD & Focus - With Mark Walsh & Dr Helen Machen-Pearce

The Embodiment Coaching Podcast

I sat down with Dr. Helen Machen-Peace to explore ADHD through an embodied lens - what it really feels like, how it shapes attention and emotion, and how practices from embodiment can help with focus and regulation. We talk about our personal experiences, the shifting understanding of ADHD, and why reframing it from “disorder” to “difference” changes everything. Helen brings insight from her clinical work, and we both share practical ways movement, awareness, and self-compassion can support people living with ADHD. A down-to-earth conversation for anyone navigating distraction,...

737. How To Build A Business That Actually Helps People - With Carlos Saba

The Embodiment Coaching Podcast

I sit down with Carlos to unpack a question every founder hears but few answer well: can a business genuinely do good and still be profitable? We map the Venn diagram of purpose and profit, talk about the kinds of people who join this game, and name the bad actors who make the whole idea look naïve. Carlos explains how scalable businesses can stay grounded in meaningful value, why shareholder-first thinking often fails culture and customers, and what practical signs tell you a company is truly doing good rather than selling a story. Expect concrete examples, a critique of easy metrics, and a...

735. No-Nonsense Coaching That Cuts Through Excuses - With Michael Serwa

The Embodiment Coaching Podcast

I sat down with Michael Serwa, probably one of Britain’s best-known no-nonsense coaches, to talk about what really makes a coach effective. Michael has built a reputation for his straight-talking style, and in this conversation he shares why honesty, directness, and cutting through excuses matter more than fancy tools or techniques. We explore his own journey from growing up in Poland to coaching London’s high achievers, what separates great coaches from the rest, and why being liked isn’t always the point of coaching. Michael’s approach is refreshing, challenging, and full of insights...

734. Why We Are So Polarized and What Can Heal It - With Miles Kessler

The Embodiment Coaching Podcast

I sat down again with Miles Kessler, an old friend and long-time aikido and meditation teacher, to explore the urgent issue of polarization. We talk about why societies feel more divided than ever, how conflict shows up in the body and mind, and what we can learn from years of aikido, meditation, and peace-building projects in places like Cyprus and the Middle East. Miles brings deep wisdom from his work in conflict zones and spiritual practice, and we reflect on the tools that actually help people stay open in the face of division. We also touch on burnout, the limits of dialogue, and why...
