668. Building Embodied Awareness: Neuroscience-Backed Strategies for Coaches – with Amanda Blake

Embodiment coach and neuroscience educator Amanda Blake joins me for a thoughtful and engaging exploration of the science and practice of embodiment. We cover the ins and outs of body-oriented coaching, how to discuss embodiment without getting lost in jargon, and what it means to build “minimal trust.”

Along the way, we tackle neuro-hype, research credibility (with a nod to Amy Cuddy and Wendy Palmer), and the delicate balance between theory and practice. Expect insights into empathy, embodied self-awareness, interoception, proprioception, centring, and the all-important “keystone” of becoming your best self.

This conversation is warm, sharp, and packed with insights that bridge science, coaching, and real-world application.
