It's my birthday and I'll reflect if I want to!

I'm 37 today and so I'm recording an episode. I think it's important to take time each year for reflections and what better milestone then another lap around the sun.

And this year, I'm more grateful than ever for the gift that is getting older. I don't groan or moan about aging. I'm thankful. I'm amazed at what's happened in my 37 years and in awe of what more can come.

I know that not everyone gets the gift and it's something I will not take for granted.

This episode...

The bleisure life is a choice.

And it's not always sunshine and roses, and I would never paint it as only that.

In living the Bleisure life, weigh it up and decide what’s important to you.

For instance, I'm willing to work on my cruise vacation to earn some income. Travelling further, for longer, is more important to me than a few extra hours on a deckchair at the pool.

Everything is a choice. Money versus time versus energy.

In this episode I share some of the choices I've made on this trip, and in my many years of business...

New Episode! Surprise guest … my husband, Mathew 😍

I needed this as much as they did!

The Rest & Receive Retreat in Northern NSW has just ended, and I'm sharing the breakdown of the experiences we shared there.

The timing of this retreat at first seemed horrible - but in the end I think it was divine timing.

My nephews funeral was the day before. I was exhausted and emotional. I needed to rest as much as my guests did.

But being in service, holding space for them, was the healing I needed too. And in turn, the space they held for me was precious.

This is what...

Make more money and travel the world!

The dream right.

Absolutely.

And it's possible, BUT!! There's things to be aware of and there's choices to make.

In this episode, I share honestly about diversifying your income - to make more money, and hence travel more.

But also the challenges I've had with both personal and business finance, and how I'm working on financial literacy. Because making more money is great, but you gotta manage it.

And I also share some of the downsides, or things to consider, if you do wanna run your own business and work for yourself while...

Could you take the alternative career path?

I did!

In the lead up to my book launch, I wanted to share how the bleisure life began. This episode is about how I combine business and travel to make a career for myself, an excerpt from my UTS speech.

Here's what UTS had to say about the talk:
Get ready for an awesome ride with UTS Business School graduate Emma Lovell, the fearless and multi-passionate entrepreneur who kicked off her own business right out of uni! In this engaging session, Emma spills the beans on her 14-year business journey, breaking the...

Sharing the reflections of our family India holiday and how I went at switching off.

I made an episode a few weeks back saying what I PLANNED to do. But as we all know, best laid plans and all that.

It was wonderful, and challenging.

It was beautiful, and painful.

It was healing, and stressful.

Both can be true.

I think the biggest lesson was -don't make grand sweeping statements on your podcast, you only build a rod for your own back.

It's all a big ol journey as I navigate and share my own bleisure life.
