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.

We talk about phone addiction, loneliness, co-regulation, and what resilience really means in an AI-speed world.

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...

The Embodiment Coaching Podcast
I sat down with Anke Egger, someone with deep roots in embodied work, to talk about how the body offers more than just physical support - it’s a source of real insight for leadership, teams, and personal development.

I caught up with my mates from Austin, Brian Robertson and Graham Pilger, the founders of a psychedelic church that defies all the usual stereotypes. We talked about creating spiritual connection without dogma, and how their community uses psychedelics to foster healing, transformation, and real human connection - with a healthy dose of humor. I’ve done their journeys twice, and they’re not culty, not therapy, and not just a trip.
