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...

697. Krav Maga, Real-World Training & Why Simplicity Works – with Lewis Groves
The Embodiment Coaching Podcast
Krav Maga instructor, Lewis Groves joins me to get into what Krav Maga really is, where it comes from, and how it’s different from traditional martial arts or rule-bound sports. We talk about training for the street rather than the ring, the value of simplicity under pressure, and why so many martial arts end up in fantasyland. We also cover ego, humility, gender differences, strength vs. skill, and why most guys think they can fight — when they really can’t. If you’ve ever wondered what martial art is “best,” how to train smart not macho, or why being punched in the face...

696. Breathwork, Trauma & the Limits of Catharsis – with Jamie Clements
The Embodiment Coaching Podcast
Breathwork teacher Jamie Clements joins me for an exploration into the real power of breath. We get into why most people are breathing badly, the science and dogma around breathwork (hello Buteyko and James Nestor), and how breath can be both a tool for healing and a doorway into altered states. We talk trauma — what breathwork can do, what it can't, and the fine line between deep release and emotional performance. There's some solid discussion on men’s mental health, breath and sleep, psychedelic breathwork, and the difference between reaching in and reaching out. If you're curious about...

695. Why Strength Still Matters: Masculinity, Honour & Identity – With Jack Donovan
The Embodiment Coaching Podcast
I’m joined by author and men’s work coach Jack Donovan for a deep, honest chat about modern masculinity. We get into why strength matters, how weakness is being sold as virtue, and why the idea that we're all "blank slates" might be doing more harm than good. We talk martial arts, the value of tactical virtues, and what honour really means in a world that often dismisses it. Jack also breaks down the meaning behind “far right” labels, internet culture clashes, and how Nietzsche's ideas can actually help when you’re trying to raise strong, grounded boys today. Lots of practical wisdom...

694. Leading From The Heart - With Christian Pankhurst
The Embodiment Coaching Podcast
Christian Pankhurst joins me to pick apart the art of emotional intelligence, group dynamics, and embodied leadership. We explore what it really means to live from “the heart,” how safety and coherence shape authentic connection, and why shadow work (especially the uniquely British kind) is essential for transformation. Christian unpacks the four directions of the heart, the relationship between narcissism and emotional range, and the subtle dance between intensity and connection. From trauma and village-making to mastery, martial arts, and the pitfalls of consumer spirituality—this...
