The EMMA LOVELL Show

Happy Lunar New Year, welcome to the Year of the Fire Horse. 🔥🐎

I’m recording this episode on the first day of the lunar new year, wearing red, leaning fully into wild success and abundance… and announcing something I have never done before.

For the first time ever, I’ve launched two back-to-back Bleisure Life Retreats in the Himalayas.

🇧🇹 Bhutan — 1–7 October
🇳🇵 Nepal — 8–14 October
🌏 Or the full 13-night Himalayan Journey of a Lifetime

In this powerful and honest conversation, I sit down with Filipa Bellette , co-founder of Chris & Filly Functional Medicine, to talk about what she calls body burnout, when chronic stress, perfectionism, and survival mode show up at a cellular level.

If you’ve ever thought:

I’d love to host a retreat, but I don’t know where to start

I’ve run a retreat before, but it wasn’t profitable (or it nearly broke me)

There has...

What if travel didn’t have to mean switching life off and work didn’t have to keep you stuck at home?

In this episode, Emma is joined by travel writer, editor, and coach Carrie Hutchinson for an honest, expansive conversation about designing a life where work and travel truly coexist.

Carrie shares the story of her six-week stay in Sicily, sparked by a Facebook post, made possible through freelancing, and shaped by intentional routines that prioritised both productivity and pleasure.

From working at sunrise and swimming with locals by afternoon, to Eurailing across Europe at 55, this episode explores what’s possible...
