    Oct 3 2024

    📌 In this episode, we explore the journey from stress and burnout to finding balance and joy in our everyday lives. Emily dives deep into how our nervous system works, the balance between the sympathetic (fight/flight) and parasympathetic (rest/digest) states, and how to expand our capacity for both rest and energy. She shares personal stories about her own experiences with burnout and the practices she’s used to build resilience, such as breathwork, yoga, and taking intentional breaks.

    💫 What You'll Learn:

    • The stages and signs of burnout (it's not just extreme exhaustion)
    • How to expand your nervous system's capacity for relaxation and peace
    • The difference between the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems
    • Why both "putting on the gas" and "hitting the brakes" are crucial for nervous system health
    • Practical tips for regulating your nervous system using breathwork, yoga, and more

  • Ep 26: The Three Pillars of Resilience: Bouncing Back Stronger
    Aug 31 2024

    📌 In this powerful episode, I share my personal journey of overcoming setbacks and the transformative process that led me to a deeper understanding of resilience. Discover the three essential pillars that became the foundation of my comeback:

    1. Calming the Nervous System: Learn how I quieted the chaos within to finally tune into my intuition, allowing me to gain clarity on my true desires.

    2. Getting Clear on My Manifestations: I dive into the importance of knowing what you truly want, and how this clarity became the catalyst for change in my life.

    3. Aligned Action: Hear how taking relaxed, intentional steps opened doors to new opportunities, and why this holistic approach was key to my success.


    🚀 What’s in store for you when you make these changes?

    • Leave behind irritation, overreaction, tiredness, and procrastination.
    • Make choices from alignment and presence, not fear, stress, panic, or need—you’ll realize you don’t have to say yes to a job or a relationship that isn’t right for you.
    • Look forward to seeing people instead of feeling annoyed or too busy.

    Join me as I explore the power of integrating these pillars into a cohesive strategy, rather than piecemeal efforts.
