751. Why the Body Matters in Coaching – With Mark Walsh & Dr Helen Machen-Pearce

In this back-to-basics episode, I’m joined again by Dr Helen Machen-Pearce to explore what it really means to work with the body in coaching. We unpack common misunderstandings, and explore how embodiment offers real-time information, deeper presence, and a way out of endless storytelling.

The conversation covers regulation, insight, action, and why so many coaching challenges come down to stress and capacity rather than mindset. We also reflect on the rise of nervous system coaching, the limits of learning through social media, and why embodied skills require practice over time. A grounded introduction for new listeners and a useful reset for experienced coaches.
