Burnout, the Nervous System & Beyond Mindset — with Christina Theo

In this episode of The Real Coaching Podcast, we’re joined by Christina Theo, Coaching Psychologist, to explore a topic that so many are experiencing  yet few fully understand: Burnout and Nervous System Dysregulation. Drawing on both her professional and personal experience, Christina helps us unpack what’s really going on beneath the surface when we feel overwhelmed, exhausted, or stuck in cycles we can’t seem to think our way out of.  We explore the difference between coaching and therapy, and how working with the body (somatics) can unlock deeper, more sustainable change. We dig into  * What burnout actually is beyond just being “tired” * How nervous system dysregulation shows up in everyday life * Why insight and awareness alone are often not enough for lasting change This is a thoughtful, eye-opening conversation that moves beyond mindset and into the felt experience of being human, it offers a new lens on healing, growth, and what it really takes to create lasting change. If you’ve ever felt like you “know what to do” but still can’t seem to shift, this episode will help you understand why  and what might help instead. 🎧 Listen now and discover a deeper way to support your wellbeing.

Coaching Meeting Parenting Part 2: Empathy, Emotions & The Way We Show Up

In Part 2 of our conversation with parenting coach Alex McKenzie Johnston, we move from awareness into application, exploring what parenting looks like in the everyday moments that truly shape our children. Alex shares her experience of home-schooling and offers powerful analogies that invite us to gently examine how we show up as parents. We explore how children learn emotional regulation not through instruction, but through experience, and how empathy is taught not by demand, but by being modelled. In this episode, we dive into: • Helping children navigate big emotions without trying to fix or silence them • Why empathy must be experienced before it can be expressed • How our responses shape our children’s emotional literacy • Practical shifts that make parenting feel lighter and more connected This is a light and compassionate continuation of a conversation that has already resonated deeply with our audience, offering reassurance, and real-life wisdom for anyone raising (or supporting) children.  If Part 1 helped you exhale, Part 2 will help you reflect and embed insight into how we all behave the way we do and how we can show up differently.
