749. We're Changing Direction In 2026 - With Mark Walsh and Dr Helen Machen-Pearce

Author: Mark Walsh December 29, 2025 Duration: 1:02:52

In this year-in-review episode, I'm joined by Dr Helen Machen-Pearce to reflect on what's changed over the past year in the embodiment world, the business, and my own life and work. We discuss the growth of the podcast and training programs, burnout and sustainability, the impact of AI on coaching and therapy, and why embodiment and human presence matter more than ever. The conversation also explores evolving thinking around meaning, community, tradition, and what might be missing in modern psychology and culture.

Plus I'll fill you in on a new direction for embodiment unlimited in 2026.
