This week I’m getting honest about “bad brain” again and what happens after the diagnosis. A raw chat about my journey w ADHD, PMDD, anxiety, and the like, and why finally getting the manual to our brains won’t automatically set us free. Because sometimes the thing that explains you can also quietly become the thing that keeps you stuck. This one is probably for anyone who knows themselves really well and still can't seem to get out of their own way. It's a bit messy but it might just make you feel a little less alone in it.To join the conversation chat with me at @emmalouisieAnd for all things coaching see you at @shift.bodyEmma x

Ft. a brief update on life abroad, friendships, mental wellbeing and what feels good right now.@emmalouisie to say [email protected] for really great fitness coaching Lots of love as always,Emma

Welcome to my TedTalk which will hopefully help to ignite the fire inside you to take back control, and understand that there are alternative ways to care for your health & achieve your goals. And of course, that mental and physical freedom is achievable. Actionable tips at the end. Loads of love,Emma Comments and questions welcome at @emmalouisie@shiftfwrd https://www.emmalouisie.co.uk

Relaunching a new season with a chat on societal timelines & lessons learned so far after 6 months in Aus. Worth it or not? Thankyou for tuning in You can always say hi @emmalouisie💛

How to shift your understanding of discipline & self compassion to better support yourself, AKA, have soft heart but a determined mind.Thankyou for listening @emmalouisie to say hello@shiftfwrd for coaching 🤍

This is *not* medical advice. A pretty raw but chatty and candid episode in the hope of helping distigmatise the hard stuff. I talk about how I’ve been able to adapt routines & expectations when managing low mood, my experience with therapy/meds as someone who also has an interest (and primary focus on) holistic wellness, and shifts I have found to help support my life and goals. Please seek professional support if you’re struggling, it’s out there. And remember, good things always come and go, But they come. So much love, Emma x — find me at @emmalouisie

A little chit chat about the liberating power of letting go because nothing that is meant to be in your life will require a tight grip to keep it. Keep in touch on IG for chats and coaching: @emmalouisie

A mini life update, and candid chat on how your subconscious beliefs influence your behaviours and how you show up in the world. Say hello @emmalouisie & for support with coaching / journal prompts: www.emmalouisie.co.uk

In this episode I chat about my experience in transitioning from dieting to healing my relationship to food, and how with a few shifts, reframes and tools, you can make the transition too. It's amazing how much our bodies change when we make peace with them. Thankyou for listening and rating (so we can help more babes!!!), I truly do appreciate it. Say hello: @emmalouisie — I love to chat. For coaching & health support: @flourishbyemma — www.emmalouisie.co.uk 🤍

Sh*t, so you’re starting again. A vulnerable chat on my upcoming adventures and how to transform fear into courage/excitement/hope… all the things. The only way is up!!!!! I’d love to hear from you: @emmalouisie / @flourishbyemma For mindset & health coaching: www.emmalouisie.co.uk Lots of love

Is it really ever “empowering” or are we just being complicit and perpetuating harmful beauty standards? Is it anti-feminist??? Can I still really boycott diet culture if I’ve had a nose job!!?! An interesting conversation with me (a wellness babe who *has* had plastic surgery) on the how it can be both a good choice, and a bad choice. I chat about how to be conscious of your intentions, how it may play a role in reducing self esteem, and how to navigate it all in your head. Thankyou so much for listening and rating and sharing your thoughts. Say hello: @emmalouisie on IG Health coaching: @flourishbyemma <3

The reminder we sometimes need to hear. Who doesn’t love an existential crisis? A candid chat on reframing your mindset to survive life changes / late 20s dread / your Saturn Returns… and a bit about what I’ve been going through. Fear, doubt, sadness — they’re not always an indicator of “ bad ” things. Often they’re a necessary prerequisite to positive growth. Annoyingly.

I remember feeling so much (unnecessary) shame when I couldn’t get my eating habits aligned, I used food to chronically self sooth and self sabotage. In this chatty ep I dive into my food and fitness journey and how I came to overcome a restrictive mindset and turn my story around. *TW* BE discussion. If you are concerned that you’re suffering with BED or chronic binge eating habits, please reach out for support from a medical professional.

“Through gritted teeth perseverance” is the sequel to sad/bad brain and a quirky, helpful, silly little reframe which will help you stay “on track” when you really don’t wanna. @emmalouisie / @flourishbyemma

Some people are born with a happy disposition, and others have to fight for it a bit harder (I’m that one), and I don’t think there needs to be shame around that. You just need to learn how to accept and adapt, embrace the good with the “ bad “. This is a chat on things I’ve found to help pull me out of that place and tackle bad brain accordingly. @emmalouisie / @flourishbyemma

Some honest words on self “love” (: How do the thoughts in our head affect us and how can we make some of that confidence self help advice more relatable?? Another chit chat @emmalouisie / @flourishbyemma

You’re always bloated, you can’t stop thinking about food, your skin is freaking out… let’s talk about it!! There’s an undeniable link between the gym lifestyle and body modification with a rise in autoimmune, digestive and health issues (especially among women). I chat about this and provide an insight on how to adjust your approach, begin to reverse your symptoms, and discuss how to approach your health in a more beneficial way. @flourishbyemma for coaching and @emmalouisie to chit chat in the DMs, I’d love your thoughts.

A brief hello! My name is Emma, a (reluctant) wellness babe who’s come to reject the highly curated and often unrealistic standards we see in traditional “wellness” culture. I take on a more raw and less glamorous approach to mental & physical wellbeing, acknowledging (begrudgingly) that it’s all a bit hard. But that this in itself doesn’t always have to be a bad thing. See, the title is not a prelude to self-pity, but more of an honest, validating, and empowering take. Good stuff is hard, not good stuff is hard… everything has a consequence, so it’s just about choosing the “ right ” hard as much as you can, isn’t it?
