Stay ConnectedA weekly podcast for coaches, embodiment teachers and anyone who sees the body as more than a hunk of meat.
Embodiment Unlimited host Mark Walsh, interviews leaders and innovators from around the world. We cover coaching, mindfulness, trauma therapy, martial arts, meditation, somatics, yoga, and movement practices generally. The flavour is light-hearted, conversational and practical.
The podcast has been going for seven years and had over three million downloads.
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 teacher into the conversation, and we explore how boundaries impact everything from trauma recovery to the ability to live a life aligned with our values. It's a rich, practical discussion that touches on cultural patterns, nervous system health, and the subtle art of saying no with grace.

Charles Cornish-Dale - better known as Raw Egg Nationalist - joins me for a frank chat on masculinity, food, and the politics that bind them. Recently doxxed, he's no longer behind a pseudonym and has plenty to say now that he's speaking openly.
We talk about his new book The Last Men, the controversial Eggs Benedict Option cookbook, and why he sees modern health as a cultural battlefield. Testosterone, tradition, media narratives—nothing's off the table. Charles is sharp, provocative, and doesn't fit neatly into anyone's box. Whether you agree with him or not, there's a lot here to chew on.

Relationship coach and podcast host Sabrina Zohar joined me to explore about what really matters in modern dating. We got into growth-minded partners, emotional regulation, nervous system work, and why self-awareness isn't the same as actually doing the work.
We also unpacked how to spot narcissists (hint: it's not just someone who doesn't text back), the misuse of trauma talk, and the pitfalls of dating advice culture. If you care about relationships with depth, not drama, this one's for you.

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.

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 rare mix of insight, presence, and real-world experience to the mic.

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 might be the wake-up call you need — this one's for you.

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 breathwork beyond the hype — and want something both practical and honest — this one's for you.

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 in this one—whether you're a dad, a mentor, or just figuring out what it means to be a man in 2025.
