Dr Helen Machen-Pearce and I sat down for what we half-jokingly called a “Two Humans and a Robot” episode - because like many of you, we’re using AI tools like ChatGPT in our coaching work. But today’s real topic is something very human: burnout.

We dig into what burnout really looks like, not just the textbook symptoms. Between us we’ve got decades of coaching, yoga, and life experience, and in this episode, we try to make sense of what’s useful out there (including from AI), and what still needs good, embodied, human insight. We cover the signs, subtle stages, and recovery strategies for burnout - and how AI can help (or totally mislead you) when researching this kind of stuff. This one’s part real talk, part reflection, and part practical advice for anyone running low on fuel.

I had the pleasure of speaking with Brian Trzaskos - expert in somatics, embodiment, and practical, sensation-based coaching. With deep roots in physical therapy and Tai Chi, Brian brings a grounded, intelligent approach to the body that immediately impressed me.

After a short centering practice perfect for resetting after a busy day, we explore his “body-breath-vision” model, dive into how the nervous system really organizes itself, and unpack what it means to coach from a truly embodied place. Brian’s got some unique and genuinely useful methods, and I could’ve talked with him for hours.

Performance coach Clay Moffitt sits down with me for a no-holds-barred conversation on trauma, resilience, and the mind-body connection. With a background spanning the military, oil and gas, and neuro-linguistic programming, Clay brings a raw, insightful perspective to the ways trauma is synthesized by the nervous system - and how our perception can amplify its effects. Expect practical insights, a few F-bombs, and a refreshingly honest discussion on healing and human behavior.
