In this episode, Leonora and Mark explore why embodiment matters for coaches themselves—not as techniques to teach clients, but as a core practice for maintaining presence,center, and integrity during coaching sessions. They discuss:

• Why coaches struggle with presence when they're over-thinking or trying to be 'good' coaches

• The difference between body language (something you do) and embodiment (something you are)

• Practical daily embodiment practices: breath, movement, nature connection, stillness

• How state regulation and centering at the start of a session saves time and deepens insight

• Building embodied range as a coach—moving beyond your default patterns

• How to introduce embodiment practices to clients in a way that feels natural and not 'woo woo'

• Common mistakes coaches make: inauthenticity, cultural appropriation, trauma hysteria, impersonating teachers

• Mark's personal journey from intellectual crisis to Aikido, and why diversifying practices prevestagnation
