In this episode of The Coaching Book Club Podcast, Christy Stuber and Ken McKellar explore The Extended Mind by Annie Murphy Paul—a compelling look at how thinking extends beyond the brain and into our bodies, environments, and social interactions.

Whether it’s tuning into physical sensations, noticing client gestures, or walking in nature to spark creativity, this book offers a fresh lens on embodied coaching. Christy and Ken share their favorite insights and real-life coaching reflections on:

  • Why gestures can reveal deep, unspoken ideas
  • How movement activates insight for both coaches and clients
  • The powerful role of thinking with others in supervision and peer groups

If you’re looking to integrate more somatic intelligence, curiosity, and creativity into your coaching, this episode is for you.
