Your Body Is Your Business Plan with Linden Thorp

Embodiment Podcast for Business
Being embodied creates resonance that you can build a business around.

🎙️ Welcome to Healthy Happy Wise Wealthy!

If you’ve ever felt nervous before speaking, disconnected from your body, burned out by work you actually love, or unsure how to trust the signals you’re receiving—you’re not alone. In this fascinating and deeply grounding conversation, Mary Meyer sits down with Linden Thorp to explore embodiment, signal literacy, leadership, voice, anxiety, burnout, laughter, and the powerful wisdom of the body. Linden brings a rich background as a Buddhist priest, former professional musician, educator, embodiment specialist, and author of Your Body Is Your Business Plan, offering listeners a practical and hopeful way to return to themselves.

Together, Mary and Linden talk about how the voice reveals what the body is holding, why laughter can release the diaphragm, how leaders can stay grounded in high-stakes moments, and why purpose-driven work can still lead to burnout if we ignore the body’s signals. This episode proves that embodiment is not just a wellness concept—it is a way to communicate, lead, create, heal, and live with more truth, ease, and presence.

🌟 Topics Covered:

  • Embodiment and signal literacy
  • Voice, spine, breath, and nonverbal communication
  • Public speaking anxiety and high-stakes performance
