755. Coaching For Resilience In A Stressed & Addicted World - With Mark Walsh & Dr Helen Machen-Pearce

755. Coaching For Resilience In A Stressed & Addicted World - With Mark Walsh & Dr Helen Machen-Pearce

Author: Mark Walsh February 11, 2026 Duration: 47:41

Dr Helen and I explore what resilience coaching really means in today's stressed, overstimulated culture. We look at burnout, nervous system regulation, and why simple tools are often not enough without community, meaning, nature, and spiritual depth. We discuss coaching young men, addiction to phones, games and ultra stimulation, and how technology is actively undermining resilience. We also cover co regulation, ritual, embodiment practices, sleep, and the importance of relationships and financial stability as part of well being. We challenge the idea that holidays fix burnout and instead point to lifestyle, structure, and support as the real foundations.
