Welcome to Embodied - the podcast for those who want to live an alive, examined and powerfully connected life. I’m your host, Anthea Bell - Embodiment Coach, Public Speaker and lifelong spiritual healer. I believe passionately in the innate power of human beings to heal and expand - to grow beyond their perceived limits, connect to deep feeling as much as thought, and express the raw potential that utterly changes lives. So this is a podcast about exactly that: the journey into deep authenticity, aligned being, told through individual stories of powerful transformation. Each week, alongside my own reflections, you will hear from leading voices within holistic health, wellness, entrepreneurial & creative spaces. Experts in their field, chosen for their capacity to inspire and lead through example and skill. These are people living at a profound level of “awakened connection” - guiding their audiences and you through courage, presence and deep intention. Together, we explore their personal histories, the challenges that changed them, and the practices that help them stay grounded in embodiment. Through powerful and intimate conversations, we'll arm you with strategies you need to build a life you truly love. Expect deep-dives on mind-body connection, nervous system regulation, belief & identity and emotional wellbeing. Learn how to connect to yourself on a daily basis, how to come home to abandoned or rejected parts, how to form intimate bonds with others and connect to a power greater than yourself. Spirituality will be as important as “living in the world” - learning to navigate our complex society and intense pace with a level of balance that keeps you centred and self aware. So - sit back, tune in and replenish: If you’re tired of overthinking, over-trying and craving the deeper connection that allows you to come home to yourself, this is your place. We’re so grateful you’re here.

    Grief, Sex & Joy: Feeling Fully with Death Doula Echo

    What if your deepest resilience came not from avoiding pain, but from moving through it again and again - in the body, in a sacred relationship with life itself as your teacher? In this stirring episode of Embodied, Echo - Somatic Practitioner, Death-Doula, DJ and Tantrika - joins the conversation from Austin, Texas, to explore what it means to live and love in a world coloured by loss, lineage, and longing. You'll discover why Echo credits nature with saving her life, how grief and rage become portals to collective healing, and what it means to hold vigil for the dying and for a humanity in flux. With candid stories from the deathbed, she reveals how presence and surrender - not control or avoidance - let us feel the fullness of being alive. This episode is a call to feel more, not less: to honour the cycles of life and death present in everything, and to trust that even in the darkest moments, "the first step of life is death." Echo invites us to stay with what is, breathe through the discomfort, and remember that every end brings a new beginning.

About Echo: Echo is a guide of embodied transformation, working at the crossroads of sound, movement, shadow, and spirit. Through music, ritual, yoga, meditation, and dance, she creates ceremonial spaces where the body becomes a safe vessel for truth, healing, and remembrance. As a shadow worker and medicine guide, Echo walks with those navigating initiation, grief, desire, and rebirth—holding space for the unraveling of old identities and the return to embodied sovereignty.  Through collective presence and honest embodiment, Echo guides others home - to the self, to community, and to the mystery that unites us.

    Why Self-Love Is So Hard (And How to Heal) | Dr. Deborah Egerton

    What if the blueprint for a life you love wasn't more strength, more effort, or more grit, but a deeper capacity to love and forgive? In this Season 9 opening episode, Anthea Bell sits down with world-renowned Enneagram expert, psychotherapist and author Dr. Deborah Egerton for an honest conversation about the transformative power of love as a force for healing our own wounds, and those of a fractured, often divided world. You'll hear why seeing the good in others (and yourself) is anything but naïve, and how connection is the antidote to isolation and survival mode. Deborah shares how suffering can be the wake-up call that cracks open our narrow perspectives and moves us toward compassion and unity.  Together they explore healing generational trauma, the tension between nurture and dominion, the pivotal importance of the female voice, and what it means to lead from the divine feminine in our own lives and in the wider work of global healing. It's an invitation to let your light shine, to move from resentment to gratitude, and to remember that real change starts one person at a time.

    Season 8 Solo Episode - What it takes to let yourself be "seen"

    You sweet humans, Last night, you found me curled up on my sofa leaving you a little podcast love-note... The first solo episode in an entire season of heart-expanding interviews. And, dedicated to a theme that all of you have been asking for: "What does it take to let myself be truly, deeply, seen?" Our yearning for visibility is palpable - as a society consistently disconnected from self, body and true connection, we long for it like nothing else. To be witnessed in all our beauty and bumpy humanity; to be held in the moments we feel most tender; to be celebrated for our incredible strides, our "biggest moments"; to become a part of something rooted in love and togetherness.  We crave it: and by the same token, we ricochet away from it. Fearful, protective, imprinted on a body and mind level to stay wary.  So, for all of you who have been longing to let loose into being seen - listen in. This is an episode dedicated to your wanting, to understanding your own patterns / preventatives, and to working beyond them. I've offered insight from my own life as well as swathes of clients - sink in with me and see what resonates. Let us know... And if this deep-dive speaks to you, send it to someone who you think would love to hear it too. Make sure you’re following the show so you don’t miss what’s coming next, and if you’ve been loving the podcast this season, leaving a quick rating or review makes a bigger difference than you think.

    The Most Honest Conversation Yet - Your Host Anthea Bell, in the Spotlight

    This episode is a special one. As our final episode of the season, we’re turning the spotlight inward. For the first time, your host Anthea Bell steps into the guest seat, and shares her own deeply personal story with Coach and Entrepreneur, Annabel Lane. In this honest and powerful conversation, Anthea opens up about the journey from self doubt and not enoughness - to embodiment, healing and stepping fully into her voice. From early childhood patterns and people pleasing to navigating fear, visibility, anger and identity, this episode explores what it really takes to grow beyond the versions of ourselves we’ve out-stripped. You’ll learn about the important role of crisis in transformation, the reality of fear when stepping into your potential, and why so many of us stay stuck in compromise instead of choosing authenticity. Anthea shares how somatic healing and reconnecting with the body became a turning point in her life, and why true change is not about perfection, but about willingness to face what feels uncomfortable. If you’ve ever questioned your worth, held yourself back, or waited for permission to take up space, this conversation will meet you exactly where you are and gently challenge you to step forward into your own beautiful light. We hope you’ll love it: let us know what lands.

    How to Unlock Your Creativity with Internationally-Renowned Artist Simon Kenny

    What if your niggling self doubt was actually pointing you straight toward your purpose? In this episode, Anthea sits down with internationally-acclaimed abstract artist Simon Kenny - opening up a deeply honest conversation about creative expression, vulnerability and identity. What in fact it really takes to grow into and show up as an artist in the world. You’ll learn about the persistent reality of imposter syndrome, even at peak fame; the struggle with confidence and self worth; how creating heals our older and more implicit wounds; and the ongoing journey towards a sense of enoughness. Simon shares how his relationship with art has evolved over time, from using it as both a shield and a form of escape, to embracing it as a space for emotional expression, self-exploration and core healing. This conversation explores how art and trauma are often intertwined, and how the creative process itself can be a powerful pathway for personal transformation. We’ll also dive into the messy middle of the artist journey, including overcoming creative blocks, learning to live with uncertainty and redefining success beyond external validation. Simon opens up about building a business, experiencing failure and finding his way back to an authentic artistic identity through abstract art process and experimentation. This episode is a reminder that self expression is not about perfection, but about courage. It is about showing up, creating anyway and allowing your work to evolve as you do. In the process, who you are, what you believe and the inspiration you offer completely re-shapes. Timestamps 00:00 Introduction to Simon Kenny 04:27 When imposter syndrome hits hard in the spotlight 08:37 Building confidence and redefining what “enough” means 09:45 The unexpected path into becoming an artist 15:01 The childhood urge to constantly create 17:40 Using creativity as an escape from reality 22:04 The connection between creativity and trauma 27:55 Finding the way back to making art again 30:02 Building and losing a furniture business 32:35 Why anyone can be creative 34:15 Learning to sit with uncertainty 41:06 Seeing your work through other people’s eyes 42:54 Legacy, meaning, and what we leave behind 44:10 Balancing creativity with personal life 47:15 Creating connection through vulnerability 50:11 A final reminder to play, experiment and let go If this episode got you thinking, share it with someone who needs a little creative spark right now.

    The Truth About Eating Disorders & The Deeper Foundations of Recovery with Leading Sports Dietitian Renee McGregor

    Have you or someone you know ever struggled with an eating disorder? In this heart-felt and insightful episode, Anthea is joined by Renee McGregor, a leading voice in sports nutrition and eating disorder recovery. Together, they share a deeply honest conversation about the realities behind health, performance and the systems that often fail people in the greatest need of care. If this is a theme you’ve wondered about, today’s episode is a critical listen. Renee shares her own ED recovery journey, and how it shaped her work supporting high-performing individuals struggling with disordered eating, exercise addiction and complex relationships with the body. We’ll explore how trauma and eating disorders are closely linked, and why many behaviours are actually emotional coping mechanisms rather than issues of discipline or control. This foundation becomes critical in knowing how to create truly lasting change. The conversation also highlights the importance of nervous system regulation, rest and learning to rebuild a healthy food relationship beyond rigid rules. Together, we’ll unpack the impact of wellness culture in today’s world, the role of social media and body image, and the growing conversation around GLP1 medications and Ozempic. Renee speaks openly about weight stigma, gaps in treatment systems and the need for more compassionate, inclusive approaches to care. From intuitive eating to autonomy in recovery, this episode challenges common narratives and invites you to form a more nuanced, human approach to health and healing.

    Why We Keep Repeating the Same Patterns - And How to Break Free with Master Coach Miriam Binder

    The armour that once protected you might now be the very thing keeping you from not only real connection - but a life path and purpose that are truly meant for you. The question is: can we wake up to a different way, one that lives just underneath our shielding and control..? In this episode, Anthea is joined by a deeply present and grounded voice, to explore what it means to live with emotional presence and integrity in your everyday life - Miriam Binder, Master Coach with Integral Coaching Canada, and former Corporate Executive. You’ll learn about the subtle ways we disconnect through dissociation, control and self protection, and how these patterns impact our ability to experience authentic connection and conscious relationships. You’ll also learn about the loneliness that can sit behind the armour, and the courage it takes to soften into vulnerability and connection. These facets ultimately become the re-building of a sense of self that redirects the life you build thereafter. A big part of this conversation is relational healing - and how transformation happens through real life interactions, not just solo inner work. Together, we explore healing through love, the role of self awareness, and what it actually looks like to move from control into surrender and flow in your life. We also touch on inner child healing, parenting and healing, and the power of forgiveness practice, especially when it comes to how we show up for ourselves and our children. This episode invites you into compassion practice, non judgment awareness and a deeper sense of embodied love that allows you to meet life with openness instead of protection. Timestamps 00:00 Introduction to Miriam and her background 03:03 What true presence really feels like in your body 05:30 The courage it takes to stay emotionally present 09:02 The loneliness that sits behind the armour 12:21 Finding a sense of home through connection and community 15:29 The tension between control and learning to flow 18:52 Stepping out of old patterns and ways of living 21:52 Becoming aware of other people’s pain 29:29 What healing really means beyond fixing yourself 34:55 Why love can feel risky and unsafe 39:41 Resistance and survival responses in the body 42:38 Practices that help shift beliefs and patterns 49:02 Forgiving yourself as a parent and human 53:29 Letting go of control in parenting 58:55 Loving without creating separation If this episode resonated, share it with someone who is navigating their own healing or relationship journey.
