In this Mindfulness Exercises Podcast episode, Sean Fargo sits down with Mark Walsh, founder of Embodiment Unlimited, to explore the profound connection between mindfulness, embodiment, and trauma-informed coaching.
Mark is a leading voice in embodied mindfulness, known for blending humor, honesty, and heart-centered awareness into the worlds of coaching, somatic psychology, and body-based transformation.Together, Sean and Mark dive into practical, embodied tools for:
Reconnecting the body and mind through mindfulness and movement
Cultivating self-awareness, resilience, and compassion through embodiment
Creating healthy boundaries and overcoming people-pleasing tendencies
Approaching trauma with sensitivity without fragility
Bringing humor and authenticity back into mindfulness teaching
Building a mindfulness or embodiment coaching business in the age of AI and disconnection
They also explore Mark’s 26-Pose Embodied Toolkit, discuss embodiment in war zones and leadership, and challenge the rise of politicized mindfulness with curiosity and courage.
👉 If you’re a coach, counselor, mindfulness teacher, or healer seeking to integrate embodied awareness into your work, this conversation will inspire new depth, courage, and laughter on your journey.
