Meet Kerry Cullen

Author: People Soup February 15, 2024 Duration: 32:20

Hi there and a very warm welcome to Season 5 Episode 41 of People Soup – it’s Ross McIntosh here. 

P Soupers - here's the first part of my chat with Kerry Cullen. Kerry is an embodiment coach, facilitator and chartered psychologist. She's also an expert and innovator in Polyvagal theory.

In this episode you'll get to know Kerry a bit more, from her days growing up in Bury, Manchester to settling in Ireland, between Donegal and Dublin. For me Kerry is a creative weaver, bringing different methodologies together to support people in coming home to themselves. You'll hear Kerry's warmth and openness, her song choice, a tale from the cake shop and the impact of a life altering diagnosis.

People Soup is an award winning podcast where we share evidence based behavioural science, in a way that’s practical, accessible and fun. We're all about sharing the ingredients for a better work life from behavioural science and beyond.

There is a transcript for each episode. There is a caveat - this transcript is largely generated by Artificial Intelligence, I have corrected many errors but I won't have captured them all! You can also find the shownotes by clicking on notes then keep scrolling for all the useful links.

Ever wonder why we do the things we do, especially at work or when trying to lead others? People Soup digs into that question, but it doesn’t stop at theory. Each episode is built on a foundation of behavioural science, which means you’ll get more than just interesting stories-you’ll get a clearer understanding of the human ingredients that make up our daily interactions. The conversations here feel real and unscripted, often touching on the messy, rewarding, and sometimes frustrating experience of simply being human. You’ll find that this podcast operates at the intersection of our professional ambitions and our personal well-being, exploring how they influence each other in ways we might not immediately see. It’s for anyone who has left a meeting baffled by a colleague’s reaction, struggled to motivate a team, or just wanted to navigate their own goals with a bit more clarity and less friction. The ideas discussed are deliberately practical, designed to be used almost immediately, whether you’re looking to improve a process, a relationship, or your own mindset. Tune in for a blend of thoughtful analysis and actionable insight that aims to make the complex recipe of human behaviour a little easier to understand and work with.
