What if speaking was not just something you did on the side, but a genuine income stream in your business?

In this episode, I’m joined by the wonderful Jaimie Abbott, speaker, MC and founder of Paid to Speak. Jaimie helps business owners, entrepreneurs and experts become highly paid speakers, and in this conversation we dive into what it really means to charge properly, back yourself and treat speaking like the valuable business asset it is.

We talk about why so many people, especially women, undervalue themselves when it comes to speaking, what event organisers are really paying for, and why...

How do you record an audiobook?

In this behind-the-scenes episode, I’m sharing the real experience of recording not one, but two audiobooks, and the lessons that came with it.

From navigating grief and timing, to investing $6,000 per book, to learning how different reading is from speaking a story out loud … this journey stretched me in ways I didn’t expect.

You’ll hear:
- What it actually takes to record an audiobook
- Why energy, timing and support matter more than you think
- The surprising financial realities (and long-term rewards)
- How trust, focus and doing one thing well...

Namaste - this episode is LIVE from Jodhpur in Rajasthan, India, where ive been travelling for 9 days through one of the most colourful and culturally rich regions in the world.

From Udaipur’s lake palaces to the breathtaking stepwell dinner at Rawla Narlai, I’m sharing reflections from this trip and why India continues to inspire me every single time I visit.

This trip has brought together so many parts of my world. I’ve been travelling with a client/ friend, exploring retreat venues, and preparing to speak at the MRO South Asia conference and XPO 2026 in Delhi.

But this episode...

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 episode, I share:

Why Bhutan changed me forever

What trekking to Everest Base Camp taught me

The lesson of “enough”...

Burnout isn’t just being tired.
And it’s not fixed by a weekend off.

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.

We talk about:

- Growing up as the high-achieving “good girl”
- Fainting episodes, PCOS, infertility and post-birth complications
- Being told “just breathe” by doctors
- IBS, anxiety, insomnia, and restrictive diets
- When healing itself becomes another perfectionist project
- Imposter syndrome in health...

Retreats are the ultimate form of bleisure.

Retreats are a business activity that combine travel, connection, transformation, self-care… and yes, they can be profitable and support your business.

In this episode, I pull back the curtain on Host Profitable Retreats, the course I've created after five years of hosting retreats, countless lessons learned the hard way, and tens (and hundreds) of thousands of dollars in actual profit.

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...

Living My Values — Solo Reflection Episode

This one's a reflection from the thick of it. I recorded this during a really full on season. Personally, with my family, and in business. Everything felt like it hit at once.

From relocating an international retreat because of political unrest, to receiving heartbreaking family health news, to navigating a childcare crisis, my values were the only things keeping me grounded. Love, integrity, freedom, wealth and adventure. These aren’t just words I wrote down one day. They’re what I came back to every time I had to make a tough call.

This isn't...

This wasn’t meant to be a reflection episode.

Recorded on Christmas Day while in transit between the USA and Australia, this solo episode became an honest, unfiltered reflection on a year that didn’t go to plan, and the quiet wisdom that emerged anyway.

From missed connections and delayed flights, to intuition ignored, lessons repeated, and moments of deep gratitude in unfamiliar places, Emma shares the real side of travel, resilience, and what it means to let go at the end of a cycle.

Touching on numerology, astrology, animal totems, and the symbolism of the Year of the Snake, this episode...

Are you embracing creativity and choice?

In this deeply reflective and expansive conversation, Emma sits down with creativity mentor and writing coach Tamara Protassow to explore what happens when we stop forcing outcomes, and start listening to what wants to emerge.

From unfinished manuscripts and suppressed creative voices, to patriarchy, capitalism, and the courage it takes to tell the truth on the page, this episode weaves together creativity, authorship, retreats, rest, and legacy.

Together, Emma and Tamara reflect on a spontaneous, private retreat at the Rose Farm that changed the trajectory of Emma’s work and blossomed into a beautiful working...
