Embodied Mindfulness with Mark Walsh: Healing, Humor & Trauma-Informed Coaching for a Disconnected World

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.⏱️ Chapters
