706. From The Mother of Coaching: Lessons For The Next Generation - With Dr Chérie Carter-Scott
The Embodiment Coaching Podcast
In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Chérie Carter-Scott, a true pioneer in the coaching world and often called “the Mother of Coaching.” Chérie has been shaping the field since the 1970s, and talking with her was like getting a masterclass in wisdom, warmth, and straight-up presence. We cover how coaching has evolved, what makes someone truly coachable, and how culture shapes the coaching process. Chérie also shares stories from her life, insights on finding purpose, and reflections from her new memoir that ties her personal journey to her classic Rules for Being Human. Read more about...

705. Inside A Modern Psychedelic Church - With Brian Robertson and Graham Pilger
The Embodiment Coaching Podcast
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. We dive into what actually happens at these events, how they’re integrating embodiment and trust, and what shifts when you bring your mum along for the ride....

704. Setting Boundaries for Resilience and Purpose
The Embodiment Coaching Podcast
I sat down with my colleague and teaching partner, Dr. Helen Machen-Pearce, to dive into a topic that comes up in nearly half of my coaching sessions: boundaries. Whether it’s around work, family, or personal purpose, boundaries are essential for resilience and avoiding burnout — yet so many people find them difficult to navigate. Helen brings her background as a psychiatrist and embodiment teacher into the conversation, and we explore how boundaries impact everything from trauma recovery to the ability to live a life aligned with our values. It’s a rich, practical discussion that...

703. Cracking the Code of Modern Masculinity - with Charles Cornish-Dale (Raw Egg Nationalist)
The Embodiment Coaching Podcast
Charles Cornish-Dale - better known as Raw Egg Nationalist - joins me for a frank chat on masculinity, food, and the politics that bind them. Recently doxxed, he’s no longer behind a pseudonym and has plenty to say now that he’s speaking openly. We talk about his new book The Last Men, the controversial Eggs Benedict Option cookbook, and why he sees modern health as a cultural battlefield. Testosterone, tradition, media narratives—nothing’s off the table. Charles is sharp, provocative, and doesn’t fit neatly into anyone’s box. Whether you agree with him or not, there’s a lot...

Aboodi has been coaching longer than most in the UK, and he joined me to explain how his journey has evolved. We talk about his work at Henley Business School, where he now teaches part-time, and how he balances that with his own coaching practice. We also explore the influence of yoga and other embodied practices on his work. It’s a grounded, thoughtful chat with one of the most experienced voices in the field and a really useful one for all coaches. Read more about Aboodi Shabi's coaching work...

700. Modern Dating: Love Bombing, Avoidants & Narcissists - With Sabrina Zohar
The Embodiment Coaching Podcast
Relationship coach and podcast host Sabrina Zohar joined me to explore about what really matters in modern dating. We got into growth-minded partners, emotional regulation, nervous system work, and why self-awareness isn’t the same as actually doing the work. We also unpacked how to spot narcissists (hint: it's not just someone who doesn’t text back), the misuse of trauma talk, and the pitfalls of dating advice culture. If you care about relationships with depth, not drama, this one’s for you. Read more about Sabrina here: ------------------------------------------------------...

699. Why I Left The UK (And Where I Went) - Mark Walsh
The Embodiment Coaching Podcast
I’m sharing some personal reflections from my new life in Slovenia. It’s just me on the mic, exploring themes of home, belonging, and what it means to truly feel settled - both in a place and in the body. As someone who has lived all over the world, I’ve had plenty of cross-cultural experiences that shape how I see things. I talk about migration, embodiment, and the nervous system—not just from a personal perspective, but also how these ideas play out in society. Since moving here, a lot has come into focus for me, and this episode is a chance to unpack some of that. ...

698. Discipline, Distraction, and Deep Wellbeing – With Savannah Johnson
The Embodiment Coaching Podcast
Coach and Playboy model Savannah for a conversation that cuts through the noise. We explore the tension between drive and surrender - when to push and when to let go - and what it really means to pursue deep wellbeing in a world hooked on distraction. From curiosity and discipline to the pull of tech addiction and the impact of objectifying media, we get honest about the cultural forces shaping us. We also dive into the Madonna–whore complex, inner beauty, getting back to nature, and how psychedelics like ketamine can help (or hinder) the integration of our full selves. Savannah brings a...
