704. Setting Boundaries for Resilience and Purpose - With Dr Helen Machen-Pearce
About this episode
I sat down with my colleague and teaching partner, Dr. Helen Machen-Pearce, to dive into a topic that comes up in nearly half of my coaching sessions: boundaries. Whether it's around work, family, or personal purpose, boundaries are essential for resilience and avoiding burnout — yet so many people find them difficult to navigate.
Helen brings her background as a psychiatrist and embodiment teacher into the conversation, and we explore how boundaries impact everything from trauma recovery to the ability to live a life aligned with our values. It's a rich, practical discussion that touches on cultural patterns, nervous system health, and the subtle art of saying no with grace.
