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. Chantelle also unpacks common misconceptions about tantra, the paradox of being both spirit and body, and how sensuality, stillness, and emotional honesty can coexist. Read more about Chantelle's...

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 un...

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 practic...

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 - Ch...

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...

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...

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...

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-inf...

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 t...

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.

From identity shifts to sensory overwhelm, and the myth of the 'perfect mum', this episode is a reality check with heart. No jargon, no pretending — just a deep, relatable dive in...

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...

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,...

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 teache...

Relationship coach and podcast host Sabrina Zohar joined me to explore about what really matters in modern dating.

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.

We talk trauma — what breathwork can do, what it can't, and the fine line between deep release and emot...

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...
