Honestly Unbalanced

Sitting down once again with embodiment teacher, coach and author Mark Walsh to explore why modern self-help and wellness culture may not be addressing the deeper problems people are facing.
We discuss the modern “meaning crisis”, embodiment, community, spirituality, religion, trauma, coaching and the limits of constantly trying to optimise ourselves. Mark also explains why he believes human flourishing requires more than individual wellbeing — including connection to the body, other people, nature and something beyond ourselves.
A provocative conversation about what modern life is getting wrong, and what might actually help. @markwalsh
“We’ve got all this material success and technology, but spiritually and emotionally we’re a complete disaster.”

Brian Malone is a Dublin-based yoga teacher, teacher trainer and Head of Yoga across Yogahub’s ten locations, giving him an unusual perspective on how the role of the yoga teacher, and the yoga studio itself, is changing.
We talk about what actually makes a good teacher, the shift from yoga as education towards yoga as experience and service, and why community may be one of the most important things a studio can offer in an increasingly digital world.
We also get into the commercial realities of running yoga spaces, making room for deeper and more niche practices, and Brian’s other great area of interest: breathwork, including what we can confidently say it does and where some of the claims become slightly less convincing.
A grounded conversation about teaching, breathing, community and what yoga is actually there to do.
"A yoga studio can’t just be a timetable of classes. Something has to hold the community together.”

Shawna Krueger joins me this week; host of the Leadership and Yoga podcast, bilingual yoga teacher, writer and practitioner of Progressive Ashtanga and Rocket.
We talk about whether yoga really can change the world, why meditation doesn’t necessarily make someone a better leader, and what the yoga industry could learn from the very corporate world it often likes to criticise.
We also explore authenticity, finding your teaching voice, social media, AI-generated content, ambition, comparison and the danger of turning yourself into a character simply because that version gets more likes.
A thoughtful conversation about leadership, creativity and the difference between knowing yoga and actually living it. @shawnakru
“I still believe yoga can change the world. I just don’t think meditation automatically makes someone a better person.”

Ryan Ashton, known online as @ryanashtonwashere, joins me for a remarkably honest conversation about losing his father to Lewy body dementia, the strange shape of anticipatory grief, and what happened when a deeply personal video took him from 300 to 39,000 followers overnight; now almost 150,000.
We talk about the pressure to turn vulnerability into a business, protecting people’s trust in a world full of grifters, and how yoga offered Ryan a presence of mind he hadn’t found elsewhere—until filming it began to turn practice into performance. A moving, funny and refreshingly unpolished conversation about identity, loss, masculinity and learning to sit beside someone without trying to fix them.

In this episode I sit down with Georgiana Cavendish—founder of KIND Matters, feminine business coach, and co-founder of Portugal's Kind Family Gathering
We explore why kindness is far more than simply being nice, how success can become another form of self-abandonment, and why building a meaningful business starts with knowing your values. We also dive into conscious parenting, moving from London to Portugal, community, money, self-worth, and how to create a life that feels aligned rather than simply impressive. @kindmatters
