Join me, Mark Walsh, for a deep dive into meaning-making, taken from The Embodiment Festival in January 2025. In this session, I explore why so many of us feel lost in modern life and why meaning seems to be slipping through our fingers.

We’ll tackle the big questions—how did we get here? Why are birth rates plummeting? Why does hedonism leave us empty? And what did Nietzsche mean when he said, “God is dead”? I’ll unpack the four horsemen of the meaning apocalypse—nihilism, narcissism, consumerism, and distraction—and why so many people today struggle to find purpose.

But it’s not all doom and gloom. I’ll also share practical solutions for reconnecting with what really matters—your body, your community, nature, and a deeper sense of purpose. Whether you’re questioning everything or just looking for a fresh perspective, this session will challenge your thinking and (hopefully) offer a way forward.

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.

For our 666th episode (who knew I had that much to say?), we turned the mic back to you with a special listener Q&A. You asked – I listened, I answered.

My work auntie and absolute angel, Helen Machen-Pearce, helped me wrangle your questions from social media and email. I tackled them head-on with my usual mix of straight talk, humour, and practical advice. A rare chance to speak directly with the people who bring this podcast to life – and I loved it.

Since retiring, Helen has channeled her passion into holistic wellness, focusing on yoga, embodiment, and building resilience. She specializes in working with people experiencing persistent health issues, pain, fatigue, and burnout, offering a blend of yoga, meditation, education, and embodiment practices.
