772. Coaching for Meaning: Beyond Goals and Happiness - With Mark Walsh & Dr Helen Machen-Pearce
About this episode
Mark Walsh and Dr Helen Machen-Pearce discuss the meaning crisis and the role of coaching in finding purpose beyond individual achievement.
In this episode, I speak with Helen about the meaning crisis, purpose, and what coaching can offer in a culture increasingly shaped by distraction, individualism, and disconnection. We explore the difference between happiness and meaning, why purpose cannot be reduced to personal achievement, and how embodiment helps us access a deeper sense of direction, contribution, and belonging. We discuss Aristotle's ideas on purpose, the role of service and community in a meaningful life, and why coaches need to move beyond goal-setting to engage with questions of significance, values, and vocation. Along the way, we examine doomscrolling, addiction, the lure of virtual realities, and the ways modern culture can pull us away from what truly matters. We also explore craftsmanship, excellence, relationships, and the importance of contributing to something larger than ourselves. ------------------------------------------- Check out our new Certification for Coaching Neurodivergent Clients https://embodimentunlimited.com/coaching-neurodivergent-clients/ ----------------------------------------------- Become a certified embodiment coach.
