352 - Less Thinking, More Sensing: Embodiment in Facilitation with Mirjam Leunissen

Take a moment to tune into your body. Do your muscles feel tense, is your heartbeat slow and steady, is your jaw clamped tight?

Embodiment coach and one-week-old facilitator, my fiancée Mirjam Leunissen joins me this week for a podcast first! As a scientist in a past life, Mirjam spent her days distilling data points – and she continues to do so under a new guise, now recognising patterns in the body, in emotions, and how people show up.

We explore how embodiment can be a gateway to changing perspective and mastering our own comfort, as Mirjam shares practical tips for making sense of our bodies. A beautiful invitation to think a little less, sense a lot more, and come back to being a whole human being!

Find out about:

• How embodiment can shape how we think and feel, helping us to regulate our nervous system, and respond with greater clarity
• Why emotional awareness begins in the body first, when we tune into our physical sensations
• Why facilitating with lightness, play, and curiosity can foster psychological safety
• The importance of using tangible, factual terms about our physiology to bridge understanding
• Why shifting our posture can positively transform the way that we think
