Let’s Build the Real Thing™️| The Map and The Magic of Your™️Work

You think if you just had the clarity, the plan, the neat idea, you’d be off and running.But the truth is?Your Actual™️ Work doesn’t arrive in a bow.It shows up like a messy whisper.Like something that won’t leave you alone—but doesn’t fit the boxes you’re used to checking.It feels strange.Too fun.Too silly.Too sacred.Too… not what people expect from you.But it’s yours.And in this episode, I’m walking you through the actual path to finding it—not the shiny, Instagrammable version, but the real one.The one that feels like a weird ache.A half-formed sentence.A knowing you can’t yet explain.Because to bring it through, you don’t need more strategy.You need to let the Thing wreck you a little.Let’s talk about that.🎙️ Listen now. Message me THING @MoreThanThisByEmmaUpton if you’re ready to NAME yours.

You don’t need another idea.You don’t need more time.And you definitely don’t need to burn it all down just to feel alive again.What you do need?To see where you actually are on the path.This episode walks you through the 4 Levels of Awakening™️ — the real inner terrain we move through right before our clarity lands, our next step clicks, and our Thing stops being just an ache and starts becoming real.If you’ve been circling Your™️ Work (that peace, joy, calling, ease you know is meant for you)…This will help you see what’s been missing.🎁 Want the FREE 4 Levels of Awakening Playbook with the guided meditation + journal prompts?Message me “AWAKENING” on Instagram @morethanthisbyemmapupton and I’ll send it straight over.Let’s stop spiralling. Let’s start moving.

You’ve been circling.Overthinking.Waiting for a sign.This meditation is the portal. 🌀Not to figure it all out —But to soften.To open.To finally ask the question your brain won’t answer but your body already knows:“What am I missing?”💫 The full drop-in begins at 8:22 mins — so you can come back to the portal anytime you need.And if you want to keep walking this (with reflection prompts + full breakdown of where you actually are in the process)...✨ The 4 Levels of Awakening Playbook is yours, completely free.It includes the guided meditation, deeper context, and journaling to help you stop circling and land Your™️ Work.👉 Just message me “AWAKENING” on Instagram @morethanthisbyemmapupton and I’ll send it straight to you.Let’s stop spiralling.Let’s start listening.Let’s remember what’s already ready to land.

Here’s what most people don’t tell you:The real clarity doesn’t look like clarity.It’s not a spreadsheet.Not a pros and cons list.Not the next mentor with the 6-figure blueprint.It’s a full-body exhale.A quiet certainty.A moment where the noise finally dies down and you hear something that feels like your voice again.In Part Two of this series, we go beyond the overthinking.Beyond the logic. Beyond the outsourcing.This is where it lands.Where you don’t just hope it’s the right move — you know.Because suddenly, staying still isn’t an option anymore.And no one else’s version of success will ever be enough.This episode is for the moment when the truth finally catches up with you —and instead of running, you breathe.And you build.

You know the one.That thing you keep circling.The question you pretend you haven’t already answered.The decision that would change everything — if only you could make it.But you don’t.You hesitate. Spiral. Stay stuck.Even though part of you knows exactly what needs to happen.In Part One of this two-part episode, I’m not giving you a strategy.I’m handing you the lens.The one that lets you finally see what’s really going on —why you’re frozen, what you’re afraid to admit,and how the old rooms you’ve worked so hard to earn your seat at…might be shaping the choice you haven’t made.This isn’t about pushing yourself into action.It’s about melting the fear that’s been driving your delay.Because the second you see it clearly —you don’t need a blueprint.You just know what to do.Listen to Part One now. Part Two drops next — where we talk about what to do with that clarity once it hits.

You don’t need another idea. You need a map.Not a 90-day plan.Not a journalling prompt.Not another five-part framework that leaves you even more tangled than when you started.You’ve already had the ideas.You’ve built the success.You’ve tried to piece something together from the scraps.And still… it doesn’t feel like your thing.Not really.Not yet.Not in that deep-down, holy-shit-this-is-it way.So what if the problem isn’t that you’re unclear —but that you’ve been trying to think your way to something you were never meant to figure out like that?🗺️ In this episode, I’m walking you through the exact map I use to help high-achieving women NAME the work they’re really here to do — the real thing.The one that’s too powerful to force, too sacred to skip, and too alive to stay theoretical.This is what unlocks your next level of clarity, creativity, and calling.🎧 Listen now if you’re tired of circling.There’s gold under your feet — let’s name it.

You’re not here for my story.You’re here because something inside you is restless.Circling.Tugging at you with that ache that says:👉 “I know I’m here for something more—why can’t I see it?”This episode isn’t a story—it’s a mirror.It started with a Cubs leader asking me, “How do you do it?”And what came next was one of the rawest truths I’ve ever shared:“I don’t think I ever knew how to have fun. I came out of the womb anxious.”And yet—I stood in that room, wild and alive, lit up from the inside.Why?Because I stopped waiting to feel ready.I let the fire of my work forge me.This episode is for you if:👉 You’re trying to figure out your Thing but keep looping👉 You don’t know what it is—but you feel it👉 You want to trust yourself again, fully👉 You’re craving clarity, calling, and a next step that feels like reliefWhat you’re looking for isn’t found in a plan.It’s forged in the fire of showing up.And that’s what we talk about today.Then send me a message @if MoreThanThisByEmmaUpton it cracked something open.That crack? It’s the start of the Work.

You Don’t Need to Know Yet — You Just Need to Move. 🎙️You’ve been taught that clarity comes first—That if you could just figure it out, plan it right, or name it perfectly...Then you’d be able to move.Then you’d feel safe enough to start.Then your next level would unlock.But what if that’s backwards?What if the clarity comes after you step?What if the thing you’re trying to force into form... is trying to come through a totally different door?This episode is a call back to your power—not your pressure.To move from resonance, not proof.To follow what pulls, instead of forcing what makes sense.Because the Work you’re here to do won’t arrive through pressure.It lands when you stop trying to control it and let it speak.🔁 Listen if you’ve been circling.⚡️ Share it with a friend who’s trying to “figure it all out.”🌀 And drop a note if it hits—you know I always wanna hear what’s coming alive.

You’re not lost. You’re not behind. You’re just stuck at a stage most programs skip:You can feel the power of what you’re here to do —but when someone asks, “So what do you do?”you freeze.You ramble.You overexplain.You spiral.Because you’re not totally sure.This episode is for you if you know you’re here to build something real —but no strategy feels right because the thing itself still feels foggy.I’m naming what’s actually holding you back —and what needs to happen before your next-level results can show up.

I didn’t go to bed until 2am. And now I’m awake at 6:30am… recording a podcast. On a Sunday. On purpose.”Because when you’re working from Actual You—you don’t force energy, you follow it.You don’t wait for the perfect conditions, you move when the idea drops in.Last night, I was in cosy-mode. Snacks, movies, soft vibes with my family.And then—Download.Idea.Movement.Old me (Teacher Me) would’ve shoved it down.Saved it for a planning day.Burnt out trying to keep it all “contained.”That version of me got results, yes.She was a high-performer. A sought-after teacher.But she needed to be in bed at 8pm just to survive the next day.Because she was running on Push.Running on force.This?This is different.This is receiving.This is how I work now.Midnight downloads.New methodology.New name.Mapped it out before the sun came up.And this morning, I recorded a podcast to walk you through it—how to move out of the old system,and start creating from the one that actually fits your genius.It’s called:“How to receive late-night, early-morning downloads of your Trademark Work™️.”DM me “I’m ready” @MoreThanThisByEmmaUpton and I’ll send you the portal.

You’ve been circling something for a long time.That deeper work.That wild idea.That thing that won’t leave you alone—no matter how many times you try to talk yourself out of it.In this episode, I walk you through the exact process I use inside the FIND The Thing + Make it Real™️ experience to finally move from fog to full-body clarity:👉 We NAME The Thing (not with a list, with a portal)👉 We FIND the resistance traps and dissolve them using the Flow Chart👉 We MAP the golden thread through your actual life👉 And we MAKE IT REAL—together⚡️This isn’t a brainstorm. It’s a reckoning.⚡️This isn’t a business strategy. It’s a soul map.⚡️This isn’t about fixing yourself. It’s about finally seeing yourself clearly.If you’re ready to know Your™️ Work—and move toward it right now—this episode is your first step.I’ve got 3 spaces open in the full 1:1 experience.If your whole system is buzzing while you listen…DM me “I’m ready” @MoreThanThisByEmmaUpton and I’ll send you the portal.

You know that feeling when you say the thing out loud — and your body buzzes?When your fingers can barely keep up with your ideas?When you’re so deep in your Work you forget to pee, eat, or check who viewed your Story?That’s Flow.It’s not a fluke. Not a fantasy. Not something reserved for the lucky, the spiritual, or the “aligned enough.”It’s a state. A rhythm. A frequency your system already knows — and in this episode, we’re naming it, celebrating it, and helping you build from it.Flow is what happens when your clarity and your calling stop fighting, and start dancing.You don’t land here by force. You return here by softening.And the wildest part? You’ve probably felt it before — and thought, “Oh my god, THIS. This is what I’m here for.”In this final episode of the Flow States series, I’m walking you through the signs you’re in Flow, how to stay there without gripping, and how to keep building while the magic’s hot.No pressure. No performance. Just one brave, honest Donut step — before fear talks you out of it.This is where your Work begins.Not because it’s perfect. But because it’s yours.You’re not chasing a high.You’re coming home.

Everything looks fine.You’re answering the emails. Taking the calls. Even hitting the gym sometimes.But inside? It’s quiet. Like… too quiet.Not peaceful-quiet.Disconnected-quiet.This is Float.That numb, drifting state where you’re technically functioning — but your soul’s on airplane mode.You’re not falling apart. But you’re not lit up either.You might be over-scrolling, over-napping, binge-watching shows you don’t even like that much.You might feel weirdly resentful of everything — but too tired to name why.You’re not depressed. You’re not broken.You’re just disconnected from your aliveness — because somewhere along the line, your system learned it was safer to float than to feel.In this episode, we’re naming the Float state.We’ll talk about what causes it, why it shows up when you’re expanding, and what to do when life is “fine” but you’re not.Plus, I’ll give you one Donut Challenge to call yourself gently back to life — no pressure, no plan, no performance.Just one true thing.You don’t have to fight to come back.You just have to stop pretending you’re fine.

You know something’s calling you.You feel it in your chest. In the in-between moments. In the way you tear up when someone else does their real work.But when you try to name it, plan it, or make it make sense… your brain flatlines.This is Pull Energy. Calling Without Clarity.You’ve outgrown what was — but what’s next hasn’t landed yet.So you swirl. Spiral. Try to make it make sense. But nothing sticks. Nothing quite feels like it.And the world tells you to wait until you’re ready — but Pull doesn’t work like that.This episode is a love letter to the ache. The messy middle. The not-there-yet-but-not-where-you-were.We’re naming what it actually feels like to be in Pull — and how to move from swirl to soul-led motion (no clarity required).Plus: your Donut Challenge. Because if you can follow the whisper without demanding a business plan first?You’ll find that your Work is so much closer than you think.No map. Just movement.You ready?

This is for the high-achieving woman who has the plan — but no pulse.You’ve got the strategy.The course login.The business model.The post-it wall.And still — every move feels like dragging your soul through wet cement.This is Push energy — one of the 4 Energetic States of Flow.And it’s the sneakiest one of all… because it looks like success on the outside.In this episode, we’re diving deep into:👉 What Push actually is (and why it keeps you stuck in overfunctioning)👉 How it tricks you into performing productivity👉 What it’s costing you — emotionally, energetically, creatively👉 And how to soften the trance and move toward Your™️ Work againPLUS: I’m giving you your first ever Donut Challenge — the imperfect, deliberately “bad” action that shifts everything.Because you’re not broken. You’re just in Push.And the way out? Isn’t force.It’s breath, softness, and a little bit of rebellion.Come back to your fire.Let’s build the real thing.—✨ DM me “REAL” on Instagram @MoreThanThisbyEmmaUpton for early access to the rest of the series

So you’ve got the idea.Or the ache.Or the whisper that shows up when you're loading the dishwasher and thinking,“Surely… this can’t be it?”You’re not broken.You’re not lazy.You’re just holding up a whole life you built — and secretly wondering if you’re allowed to want more.This episode is for the high-achieving women who are stuck in a loop:You’ve done the mindset work.You’ve tried the strategies.And still — the Real Thing™️ feels just out of reach.In this first episode of Let’s Build The Real Thing, we’re kicking off a four-part series on the Energetic States of Flow — the quiet rhythms that block Your™️ Work without you even realising.We’ll talk:👉 Why you’re circling👉 Why nothing’s landing (even when it “should”)👉 And how to spot the pattern so you can stop fighting yourselfThere are only four reasons you haven’t moved.We start with naming them.No juice cleanses.No spreadsheets.Just truth, clarity, and the tiniest Donut-shaped action to get your soul breathing again.✨ DM me “REAL” on Instagram @MoreThanThisByEmmaUpton if you want early access to the rest of the series before it officially drops.🌀 Clarity isn’t found. It’s remembered.And this? This is where it starts.

In this raw, unfiltered (slightly annoying sound-static - soz - will figure-out for the next one) first episode, I’m walking you through the moment I realised I’d been filtering my power—online and off. From the breakdown that cracked me open, to walking away from teaching and finding my way into coaching multi-million dollar businesses, I’m sharing the messy, magical truth of how I stopped trying to fit someone else’s mould and started building The Real Thing™️. This podcast is for high-achieving women who are circling their calling, craving clarity, and ready to stop performing and start creating what they’re really here for. Some episodes will feel like a deep strategy session. Others will feel like a walk with your soul’s best friend. Either way, you’ll leave with truth, fire, and a map forward.

When it doesn't really make sense that you have anxiety

Nighttime overthinking is a beast of a burden which can come pretty close to being totally eradicated with this simple exercise

So often we think, "if I just change *this* THEN my world will start working out the way it's meant to" but what if there's a different way to get the dream outcomes your heart is calling for? See how in today's episode

Exploring my own battle with Unexplained Lower Body Paralysis, where no doctor could understand my rapid deterioration; alongside the research of Gretchen van Boemel M.D who saw Cambodian women with no physical explanations, go blind because of their traumatic experiences under the communist dictator Pol Pot. Can the mind alone really cause blindness and paralysis? We explore this in today's episode

Jen won a competition and was invited to join me, as my first ever Podcast Guest where we explored powerful moments in her life where so chose More (when it certainly wasn't the simple choice to!). We can all learn lots about the power of choice through Jen's story

When you grow your business from the fire of your intuition I have NO FEAR for you. You’re DESTINED to make Real Life Magic in your business.  Happy Wake-up Wednesday. 💗

Following your intuition is almost always triggering - because it’s going against what your Conscious Brain already knows - and stepping in to what is actually MEANT for you.  And you’re meant for More.  So it’s going to trigger you.  And that’s a GOOD thing.  🧬⚡️🐳🦄 Happy Trigger Free Tuesday 🧡

Your human brain is TERRIFIED of you going ALL in on it - because it think it’s dangerous.  It’s not.  But you’ll NEVER convince your brain of this.  (And you can *never* tap-out).  Instead, you must remember that your mission is massive and that your resistance is simply a sign that you’re stepping into your next paradigm (and that’s one step closer to your Destiny 😆🤩).  Happy Feel it Friday 🐳🦄💙

The more overthinking and unkind your brain is most often means: ⚡️the bigger the destiny ⚡️the bigger the purpose Only those willing to go toe-to-toes with The Conscious Brain will fulfil their Destiny and live-out their greatness.  If it’s🧠🤓😈 really loud - you’re here for something really big 😆🤩 Happy wake-up Wednesday Narwhals 💗🐳🦄

How to handle INTENSE triggers in your biz 😮‍💨 You're here for something HUGE 🧬🤩 And you aren't building it in "regular" ways - you're building it from your heart and soul 🧬💖 This means that feeling triggered is INEVITABLE 🧡😮‍💨 If something inside your business is triggering you today, I double donkey dare you to see the trigger for ALL that it's here to teach you... 💎🤩and prepare for a quantum LEAP that seeing it this way will GIFT you ⚡️🤸‍♀️ Happy Trigger-Free Tuesday 😮‍💨🧡

I’m obsessed with the Piggyback Sensory Hack™️ part of the work. And today reminded me why… Happy Saturday Sitting ❤️

My brains default setting is to be unkind to me Unless I remind it not to, it will continue to be 😮‍💨 So I wear the rainbow, each and every day has a colour which inspires me to choose the thoughts I have/the life I’m here to create. 🌈🤩 Happy Feel it Friday 💙

Feeling guilty when you know you have SO MUCH to be grateful for is just another trick of The Conscious Mind 🧠🤓😈 trying to keep you stuck (which it’s confused as “safe” 🤪😮‍💨) in your current reality.  You can’t journal “three things I’m grateful for” in the morning whilst feeling resentment of, “I know I SHOULD feel grateful, but I don’t and I want More!!! Gratitude comes through practise and Grace: Seeing it every day in our living and breathing existence WHILST being gentle to ourselves and our unkind judgements.  So wear your Thankful Thursday lavender purples today 💜 to make yourself a living, breathing embodiment of gratitude. Because, we all know, that being grateful for what you’ve already got is THE catalyst for attracting More 🦄💖 

You know Your Purpose 🧬 It’s absolute. It’s merely a matter of how willing you are to go against what The Conscious Brain THINKS is “right” for you - to be FREE ⚡️🧬🤩🐳🦄 Happy Wake-up Wednesday 💗

Dialling-in and realising that our triggers are actually just a signal that say “this isn’t working the ways it meant to for you” is liberating.  It stops us trying to run, hide and shield ourselves from triggers and instead empowers us to create our More 🧬⚡️🐳🦄 Happy Trigger Free Tuesday 🧡

Perfect has CEASED to exist from my body.  I still work REALLY hard to get awesome results, only… I’ve stopped trying to force “perfection” upon anything.  And I feel FREE!! And I think the biggest part of not having anxiety ISN’T not having a brain that wants to be anxious and overthink everything… it’s NOTICING how desperate this part of me wants to stress and worry and get it perfect and have anxiety and o CHOOSE not to.  I have this inner power that I’ve trained to be SO LIT that when I feel these old patterns attempts to come back to the forefront of me, I STOP them! It’s often messy and imperfect but my GOODNESS, it’s freeing. That’s what freedom feels like for me.  If that sounds like your type of freedom too, this work is probs for you 🐳🦄💖 Happy Mind on Mute Monday 🙊💚

It’s just The Conscious Brain HATES the idea of it 🧠 🤓😈 So our job is to notice this resistance 🧠🤓😈😮‍💨 And choose to Surrender anyways ⚡️🧬🐳🦄💖 Happy Surrender Sunday 🍋 💛, Narwhal Unicorns ⚡️🧬🐳🦄💖

Saturday sitting isn’t for inactive people.  It’s not for people who already carve out the hours necessary to transcend the limits of this 3D world.  Saturday Sitting is for people TOO BUSY creating the life that they’re here to make to be faffing around with meditation for hours. 🤪😮‍💨 YOU my peoples.  You are the change makers who’re here for More 🤩 Happy Saturday Sitting ❤️

The struggle was real this morning - later night than usual (having THE BEST TIME 😆, but still 🥱😮‍💨), eating different kinda foods, a glass of sparkles🥂 , a later start to my morning, ALL meaning that I wasn’t feeling on my A Game this morning… Which made my commitment to “a daily Podcast for the next year” a little trickier than I’d like 🤪😮‍💨 Usually, when I think about my podcast, I’m EXCITED!! 😆 I wanna dive in. It’s the first thing I think about in the morning - after dreaming in Find Formula™️ Monkey Mints💚🙊, or Trigger-Free Tangerines 🍊 or ANY of the senses 🍉 💜💙❤️🍋 (those Piggyback Sensory Hacks are LIFE for me 😆🤩) But this morning, I didn’t wanna… So instead of letting my brain 🧠🤓😈 lead the charge and decide on an extreme of either: ✅ You’re doing it; you made the commitment; AND THAT’S THAT (so suck-it-up and off you go!!) OR ❌ Forget it. I’m out. I’m falling off the wagon and it’s ok! I instead chose to sit in the middle.  And that answer came through. 😮‍💨 We get to get curious when things don’t feel as simple as we’d like… It doesn’t need to be a matter of diving off at one end or the other - the lost powerful thing we can do is take space in the middle of it all.  Today I’m actually Thankful for the resistance in my body - it reminded me that the power to choose our destiny doesn’t come through force The inner power come through taking-up space to choose to do things differently.  Happy Thankful Thursday 💜

If you're anything like me, you have a brain that's pretty loud, pretty-much all of the time. And as much as we'd LOVE for it to be filled with sunshines, rainbows and our next life-changing idea, sometimes it can get a little loud in there. ESPECIALLY as the brain's default setting is survival - it activly and intentionally spends most of it's time seeking-out danger in an attempt to keep us safe. Living in this danger-seeking-out mode 24/7 puts a dampner on our mood (to say the least). Add to this the fact that we have a gajillion jobs to organise throughout the course of one day And laughing can feel like the last thing on the list that we wanna do! Only...living a life without laughter is pretty pants! Being so busy getting all (the good) stuff done without space to truly enjoy it can leave us wondering  "Does fun actually get to be part of this!?" So I made it my missing - to wear my watermelon pinks and seek-out where I'm myself missing-out on enjoying living, to simply get "stuff" done and make it to the end of my list. Where Francis is telling me, "just do, don't have fun!" And instead, I've learned to laugh at her! To stop taking her so seriously - like her and her "lets white knuckle it through life" ISN'T as deserable as she has had me believe. And WHEN I see her, up to her tricks, I've learned to LAUGH. I've remembered how to. And I use each and every I notice her nonsense as an oppostunity to lol!

I think trigger warnings are hilarious! I mean, I get it - some harrowing things require you to form the brace position before they're exposed to us but the idea of trigger warnings lull us into a false sense of security... Like life is going to put TW before it unloads a sh!t-tonne of waste onto our heads from a great height! LOL! The world just DOESN'T work like this! This world is here TO trigger us! And once we embrace this, life feels so much easier! It feels easier - NOT because it stop being so tricky or triggerings - but because we STOP EXPECTING IT TO BE! Mentorship is THE PERFECT place to play with this. Because putting ourselves into mentorship means we're actively seeking-out our triggers.  We're putting ourself into close proximity to people who're working in different paradigms to us - it's going to be triggering on SO many levels! I see some people go into Coaching Containers and relationships and it's a sh!t-show - they feel like they need TW infront of every conversation. But when we learn to USE our Triggers (thank you Trigger-Free Tuesday - I hope you have your tangerines on today, listening to this) we are FREE! Free to learn WHY we're being triggered - THE Entry Level Access Point to our next level of More.  So the next time your Mentor triggers you, TELL HER. She'll already sense what's happening but KNOWS it cannot be alchamised until YOU bring it to the table!  And the next time you have a client, who triggers you (because you're human so of COURSE this is going to happen), lean-in to your support networks and alchamise it - you, your work and your clients results will ROCKET because of your willingness to do this! Life doesn't come with a TW - so instead of trying to avoid the triggers, LEARN what they're here to teach you so that you can alchamise them into fuel for your next paradigm shift!

Any reoccurring feeling is simply a repeated chemical being released into the body - when we start to think about our body more basically, it makes being anxiety free WAY easier 😅 So let’s look… 🧠 We have a thought  🧪 Which tells a gland to release a chemical (As a counter to whatever the thought is telling it) 📛 We then put a stamp on what what this neurological thought and chemical response mean ⬆️ This cycle gets imprinted into the body and mind REALLY easily, the more often it happens. So if “worrying” is something you’ve done for a while now, it simple means your brain is in the habit of: 🧠 thinking worrying thoughts  🧪 releasing fight/flight/freeze chemicals  📛 and labelling this sequence as “worry” (or whatever other stamp you place on your emotions).  When we reduce this process down to the really raw, basic elements of our functioning… worrying becomes something we recognise that we can actually, activity stop. 😅😆🥹 Seeing this pattern play-out, from a removed space, is a MASSIVE movement in Being Anxiety Free 💚💖

Happy Saturday Sitting ❤️🧘‍♀️ I blooming LOVE meditation - just not in the ways we’re traditionally taught it! 🤪 I have a brain that is pretty unkind to me for a big chunk of the time 😮‍💨 So the idea of sitting silently with my thoughts for hours on end does NOT entice me to meditate.🤢 So I found a Piggyback Hack System™️ where I submerged myself in a sensory experience to love meditation - as I did it went from being “something I should do”, to something I actually WANNA do! The power builds 🧬⚡️ From micro moments, as often as possible.  So get your rhubarb reds out ❤️ Take micro second moments today to breathe, EVERY time you see your reds, And watch the power grow ⚡️🧬🤸‍♀️

In my world world, feelings are a weird one.  For most of us, we had our feelings rejected so many times by our adults (because they made them feel uncomfortable) that we learned, “Feeling emotions is bad”.  Now, feeling emotions is ESSENTIAL for ALL HumanBeans: When we break-down what emotions actually are; they’re just chemical markers 🧪; that are secreted from glands inside the body; and they feel a certain type-a way. THAT’S IT!! So we’ve gotta learn that feeling our feelings is just allowing the chemicals to flow up and out of our bodies in the ways they’re made to.  And that this is a NEUTRAL (not “good” or “bad”, it just IS).  But THEN we must navigate the doubleness of feelings our feelings without allowing them to engulf us.  Those who master this art, master their life!  Happy Feel-it Friday 💙

I define the term “shoulding” as: “Feeling obliged to do something even though it’s not something you actually WANNA do!” “Shoulding”, when it comes to Thankful Thursday 💜, is knowing that you have LOTS of lovely things to feel grateful for, maybe it’s: gorgeous kids The 4 bed house  The career you worked for Fancy designer things  The SUV  Your dreamy spouse  Only… they just aren’t what you’d hoped they be. They often cause you more agro than you’d like. And, even though you love them and you’re glad they’re yours… the feeling is, “I know I should feel grateful but I don’t”.  And as more comes in.  That hole, between receiving and feeling grateful widens with a big wedge of guilt, or maybe it’s shame, or maybe embarrassment to boot too. 😮‍💨 This feeling is what is ruining all the lovely things in our world.  When I feel this way… looking at ALL the lovely stuff in front of me (and feeling familiar pangs of guilt, for not feeling a certain kinda way about them), I call in Grace.  Grace is as old as time and as wise as ALL the mystics out together. In these moments, Grace says, “My sweetheart, you’ve got this. Right now, you’re replacing the lovely feeling of gratitude with a more familiar feeling of shame and guilt that others inflicted upon you. And now, you’re addicted to feeling this way. 😮‍💨 So be gentle with you, Watch where these addictions rise.  And decide… “I am free”.  If you’d like actions, movements and breath to accompany these words, let me know and I’ll cover this next Thankful Thursday 💜 Remain on the look-out for Grace - she’s waiting for you to invite her back into your world 😇💜

When I was tuned into Anxiety FM 24/7, I believed everything I thought. Something in my world would trigger me Which led to a (mostly unhelpful!) thought (AKA Bob) Which let to a (pretty horrid!) feeling inside my body (AKA Toad) Which led to me making absolute and harsh judgements about myself and the world (AKA Francis) Today is Wake-Up Wednesday - today's focus is ALL about that third and final element of The Trio of Terror (that's what I call the make-up of The 3 Part Conscious Brain cycle I describe above). This third part exists because our brain is ALWAYS trying to make sense of this world. As humans we ALL just want an easy life, which feels lovely.  Only...that's not what this human experience is. This experience is a lot; a lot of the time. So the brain is ALWAYS trying to convert this "lot" into much less (in the hope that it feels much easier for us).  To do this, the brain wants to put ABSOLUTE Stamps on things; So it feels like it's in charge So it feels like it understands So it feels like it's making our life easier. It does this with thoughts of: "This is right" "This is wrong" "I am right" "They are wrong" "I am wrong" "They are right" When we work in these absolutes, we know that it's Francis (the fiend inside our brain) attempting to make us feel safer on this spinning sphere floating in the middle of The Universe; WHICH MAKES NO ACTUAL SENSE! The "Ideal" Self you (that's led by The Trio of Terror) deals in absolutes. And it's Francis who has to KNOW absolutely. NOT Actual You! So the next time you're driving yourself demented, trying to absolutely KNOW what to do where to move how to do it Happy Wake-Up Wednesday 💖

Being anxiety free isn't available to normal people. Because being anxiety free, after years of having anxiety, is going AGAINST what feels "normal" for you! And most of us don't wanna go againt what feels normal to us. Because, no matter how painful it is, The Human Brain LOVES familar/normal/routine. It's why  people with diabeties continue to overeat people with toxic partners continue to attract the same people people with OCD mentally torment themselves in the most inexplicable ways Above and beyond EVERYTHING, the brain will choose what it already knows. Because what it knows has gotten us to where we're at right now - and right now we're alive - this is literally the ONLY thing that The Conscious Brain cares about! So normal people allow their mind to dominate their existance, simply because it's been that way for so long. Normal people will continue to feel anxiety for forever. BUT, there is a small amount of people who are DONE being normal; and fitting in. They've realised that having a life on repeat isn't as good as The Conscious Brain has it made-up to be. They want More! And they're willing and brave enough to take action. My best skill, when it comes to navigatring my own human brain is: Don't be normal - it's a trap - be ME!! There’s More Than This 💖🤩

For so many brilliant, busy entrepreneurs, coaches and creatives we can see that time is of the essence. We're more in touch with the reality of this existance; with the fact that every breath needs to count; that our work is a MASSIVE deal and that in order to allow it to reach the heights of everything it's MADE to, it requires our time and dedication. We use our precious time to: make moves learn the lessons make bigger moves connect to people further along than us open-up opportunitities that right now, we don't even know exist! And we achieve.  The most glorious results at incomprehensible levels. We CAN and we DO do it all; we hold it all together;  we can get to next-level heights ALL whilst brining-along anxiety for the ride. I'm WITH each and every one of you who's saying, "I ain't got time to sit in a corner crying about all of my trauma, Emma!" I tried this way.  It was MISERABLE!  And it made me feel worse - like I was "trying" to do the "right thing" but it wasn't working.  That's when I started to explore alternatives. I started to learn about stoicism. I began to learn about quantum physics. I studied the biology of the human body. And THIS all blew my mind!! There IS a way to irradicate Anxiety from our bodies ('cause that's where it lives!). To disrupt all that repeated neurology ('cause that's how it repeats). And be FREE!  And it lives inside brining The Work into The Unconscious - OUTSIDE of Conscious thought! I use The Piggyback Sensory Hack System to do this: it requires going about our EVERYDAY life - just using the senses to heighten awareness instead of thinking we've gotta sit down and "do" to transform That power within comes from unlocking the unconscious - and this can ONLY be done from outside of the conscious mind/thought! There is More. Always

The journey to where I am right now, which is actually pretty remarkable when you break it down, WILL be the journey to "there" (wherever "there" actually is!?!?) I don't mean the steps will be exactly the same, I just mean: I have grown my business in the last 2 years in ways that blow most normal peoples minds 🤯😮‍💨 It’s because I’d spent 30 years living-out my life where I was afraid to make mistakes, to look silly, and I lived in fear of what others would say NOW, I refuse to waste ONE MOMENT! I’m ALL in the moment I get an idea of, “this is what’s next…” I make mistakes - and learn from them I look silly - and aim to get more clarity as I go I tell fear to take a running JUMP 👋😚 - their conclusions are a reflection of them, and almost always nothing to do with me 🤪😮‍💨 So I run with ideas, I don’t walk. The evolution of this podcast is THE perfect example of this … I have no idea what I’m doing, it’s nothing close to what I actually want it to be BUT I’m throwing myself into it I’m learning along the way I’m adding my new lessons I’m learning what doesn’t work And in a years time, I’ll look back and I’ll be glad I fumbled about at the beginning to create this. Because there’s ALWAYS More Than This - and day 1 is where we ALL have to start… And I’m super willing to ⚡️🤸‍♀️💖

When you've got a Conscious Brain that spends 99.9% of it's life screaming at you (I could hear mine literally SCREAMING at me some days!), sitting 
"silently" was the most horrible idea I could concieve. Being left alone, with only the chaos inside my brain for company?! "NO THANK YOU!" Although that didn't stop me from trying... I hated the way that I was living my life and I felt POWERLESS to do anything about it (despite doing all of the things that "should" have been imporving my life - therapy...meditating for hours...!) That's when I realised that there was a REALLY different way to do meditation. A way which 10x results but didn't take time away from my life - I was a new mum to baby twins, my husband worked away and I was a primary school teacher (I had a LOT going on!!). My meditation was this - to do things for longer than my brain wanted me to. And by this I mean... When I was rushing to get the bottles steralised, so I could get my school work done, so I could get to bed at a decent time before Groundhog day started all over again, I TOOK MY TIME! I washed those bottles like my life depended on it - I traced the outline of the bottles with my fingers and watched the soap bubbles pop on them I did my school work with clamness and precision I stopped being so obsessed on what time I was getting into bed, and started feeling grateful to have arrived In my life, I started to walk slower than I would (I literally RAN through the hallways at school before) I sat for a minute longer when my brain said to "get up!" I realised how much of my life my brain was making me rush through - taking my time became a meditation in itself - SO much better than sitting for hours at a time. SO. Much. Better!!

We get given the wrong impression (by well-meaning, but TOTALLY unhelpful adults!!) that we aren't meant to feel strong emotions!🤪😮‍💨 Strong emotions just ARE part of this Human Expereince - there's no denying them or trying to run away from them. Only, we DO try... We try to hide🙈 We try to run away from them🙊 In the hope that we'll feel less uncomfortable for it.🙏 What this ACTUALLY does is: Push those feelings/ emotions/chemicals (which asbolutely occur in ALL of us), deeper into us, THEN we reject them. 😥 This rejection forces them to stay inside our body - they bury themselves ever deeper within. Trapped, they add unnecessary additional weight and burdon us further.🫠 We feel bad that we're so heavy. 😮‍💨 And that we feel everything so intensely. 🤪😮‍💨 So , as each new/difficult emotion arises, we bury them ever-deeper. 🕳️ So they get even more stuck. And we feel even heaver. This continue to happen until, in a moment, we decide we WANT MORE! 🤩🌈🐳🦄 And a big part of us accessing our More (Accessing who we're here to be⚡️🧬 And what we're here to do 🤸‍♀️) Comes down to how willing we are to have emotional breakdowns and make them mean NOTHING about us (expect that we're human and having a human experience) ⚡️🤸‍♀️😆🤩 There is More than this. Always! Happy Feel-it Friday 💙

Introducing my Spilling the Tea Narwhal mug companion, who only arrived today and I’m in LOVE with! Upon her arrival, she got me thinking just how colourful my world is - on this cold, and rainy November afternoon ☔️ the warmth of that rainbow road still radiates 🤩🌈 BUT WHY!? I can summarise in 2 5 word sentences: 1️⃣ I stopped being so serious 2️⃣ There is More Than This I spent my life trying to be this polished version of me - dedicated to “doing the right thing” and being righteous in everything I did. - bold colours, crazy ideas, falling flat on my face, and showing-up vulnerably sharing my darkest secrets… NO THANK YOU!! 👋 😮‍💨 Work hard. Get results. Be a good person. NO space for play!! So how is this the same person, looking through your screen? 👉Dressed from head to toe in the rainbow 👉Drinking out of my Narwhal 👉Creating a life which feels like make-believe!? I chose that there was more. That I was curious enough about this idea of More to go Find it for me. And now, I teach others how to do it too. If you find yourself being super serious for a good chunk of time, I feel you! Notice. And invite curiosity back into your world… There is SO much More 🌈⚡️🧬🤩🦄
