719. The Body as a Portal to Truth and Transformation – With Chantelle Raven
The Embodiment Coaching Podcast
Chantelle Raven joins me to talk about why the body is a gateway to the unconscious, how to move from performative spirituality into real presence, and why facing discomfort is essential for true freedom.

718. How To Rewire the Brain for Growth With Tiny Experiments – With Anne-Laure Le Cunff
The Embodiment Coaching Podcast
What if the key to personal growth wasn’t radical transformation—but tiny, consistent experiments? In this full-spectrum conversation, neuroscientist and Ness Labs founder Anne-Laure Le Cunff joins me to explore how to rewire our brains for curiosity, resilience, and sustainable growth. We talk about how our brains are hardwired for safety (and why that gets in the way of change), why embracing uncertainty is a learnable skill, and how to overcome the “insight trap” - where we understand a concept but still fail to apply it. Anne-Laure shares tools from her book Tiny Experiments,...

717. How Embodiment Transforms Mindfulness & Creates Better Leaders - With Mark Walsh
The Embodiment Coaching Podcast
In this solo episode, I dive deep into two key topics: why leaders need embodiment and how embodiment differs from mindfulness. Drawing on 20+ years of experience in the field, I break down why embodied presence—not just information or emotional intelligence—is the make-or-break factor in modern leadership. We explore how embodiment shapes trust, impact, and co-regulation in teams, and why practices like mindfulness, while foundational, aren’t the full picture. I also look at the historical and cultural roots of both embodiment and mindfulness, how they overlap, where they diverge, and...

716. How To Stop Burnout Before It Breaks You - With Mark Walsh & Dr Helen Machen-Pearce
The Embodiment Coaching Podcast
In this vulnerable and practical episode, I sit down with my colleague Dr. Helen Machen-Pearce to unpack what burnout looks like before it gets dramatic. We talk about the “yellow flags” I’ve been noticing in my own life, how coaches and leaders can miss early signs, and why it’s not just about working less - but working smarter with the nervous system in mind. We also bring in a third voice - ChatGPT - to help spark insights, name patterns, and reflect back what might be hard to see in the moment. It’s a fresh format: equal parts real talk, personal story, and practical tools...

715. Why Grown-Ups Need to Play Fight - With Matteo Tangi
The Embodiment Coaching Podcast
What do puppies, warriors, and 3-year-olds with sticks all have in common? They’re all play fighting - and it’s not just fun, it’s foundational. In this episode, I chat with embodiment teacher and Play-Fight founder Matteo Tangi about why this primal practice matters more than ever in modern life. We explore the deep biology behind playful combat, how it shapes brain and body development, and what it unlocks in adult relationships, leadership, and personal growth. Matteo shares how healthy aggression, co-regulation, and joy can all coexist in a single practice - and why we need more of...

714. The Nervous System Survival Guide You've Always Needed – With Jonny Miller
The Embodiment Coaching Podcast
Why is everyone wired, tired, and teetering on the edge lately? I sat down with nervous system specialist and host of the Curious Humans podcast Jonny Miller to unpack the physiological chaos so many of us are feeling. Jonny breaks down why our systems are overstimulated, how hyper/hypo arousal plays out in daily life, and what we were never taught about calming the hell down. We talk about phone addiction, loneliness, co-regulation, and what resilience really means in an AI-speed world. It’s a conversation that’s both calming and confronting—for coaches, leaders, and anyone trying to...

713. The Mindset Behind Muscle and Money - With Luka Hocevar
The Embodiment Coaching Podcast
I sat down with Luka Hocevar, a former pro basketball player turned master fitness coach, to dig into why knowledge isn’t enough when it comes to real change. We talk nutrition myths, why people self-sabotage, and what truly drives transformation - from the gym floor to life at large. Luka’s got the science, the scars, and the stories to back it up. We also explore how trauma, belief systems, and even your environment play a massive role in whether your clients follow through… or fall off. This one’s not just for fitness fans - it’s for any coach or curious human trying to understand...

712. Beyond the Clichés: The Grounded Truth About Tantra - With Henika Patel
The Embodiment Coaching Podcast
Tantra teacher Henika genuinely surprised me. Grounded, clear, and refreshingly free of fluff, Henika brings a practical lens to what’s often a misunderstood field. We discuss the overlooked connection between burnout and disembodiment, the role of sensuality in nervous system health, and why pleasure isn’t a luxury - it’s a resource. With a background in law and a deep understanding of trauma-informed practice, Henika offers insight into how we can reconnect with the body in a world that pulls us away from it. A valuable conversation for high performers, caregivers, and anyone feeling...

711. Burnout in Your Clients? Here’s What Coaches Need to Know - With Mark Walsh & Dr Helen Machen-Pearce
The Embodiment Coaching Podcast
Dr Helen Machen-Pearce and I sat down for what we half-jokingly called a “Two Humans and a Robot” episode - because like many of you, we’re using AI tools like ChatGPT in our coaching work. But today’s real topic is something very human: burnout. We dig into what burnout really looks like, not just the textbook symptoms. Between us we’ve got decades of coaching, yoga, and life experience, and in this episode, we try to make sense of what’s useful out there (including from AI), and what still needs good, embodied, human insight. We cover the signs, subtle stages, and recovery...

710. The Sensation Signal Every Coach Should Never Ignore - With Brian Trzaskos
The Embodiment Coaching Podcast
I had the pleasure of speaking with Brian Trzaskos - expert in somatics, embodiment, and practical, sensation-based coaching. With deep roots in physical therapy and Tai Chi, Brian brings a grounded, intelligent approach to the body that immediately impressed me. After a short centering practice perfect for resetting after a busy day, we explore his “body-breath-vision” model, dive into how the nervous system really organizes itself, and unpack what it means to coach from a truly embodied place. Brian’s got some unique and genuinely useful methods, and I could’ve talked with him...
