711. Burnout in Your Clients? Here’s What Coaches Need to Know - With Mark Walsh & Dr Helen Machen-Pearce
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. ----------------------------------------------- Our new two-year membership program, Embodied Flourishing, is a supportive and pressure-free space to explore well-being, boundaries, embodiment, and more.
