Shift Your Vibe to Thrive

Ep 53 - The Art of Pausing: How I Dismantled My Life to Find Joy

Wed, 10 Sep 2025 09:00:00 -0400

What happens when you strip away everything that looks good on paper to find what actually feels good in your body? After months away from the podcast, I'm back with the raw, honest story of my three-year unraveling - and why it led to the most aligned version of myself I've ever experienced. If you've been feeling the pull to slow down, redirect, or trust those whispers from your intuition, this episode is your permission slip to listen.

🔍What to Listen For

The "birds before shore" metaphor and how to recognize when you're approaching your next chapter of growth and transformation
Why frustration might be your greatest teacher - especially for high achievers who've been pushing through misalignment for years
The hidden costs of people-pleasing patterns and how they show up in work relationships, family dynamics, and personal boundaries
How to recognize when your nervous system is stuck in "optimized fight-or-flight" and why this sabotages creativity and intuitive decision-making
The 90-day experiment that broke decades of conditioning - removing all pressure-based decision making and only acting from joy and alignment
Three specific daily practices that shifted me from sympathetic dominance to parasympathetic presence (and why this matters for your success)
The wealth management breakthrough that happened when my nervous system finally regulated - and the financial clarity that followed
How embodied wisdom differs from intellectual understanding and why lived experience creates lasting transformation
The connection between birth doula work and somatic coaching - finding the golden thread through all your life experiences
Why "simplicity over complexity" became my new operating system and how to get off the hamster wheel of constant self-improvement

Your body holds the answers you've been seeking everywhere else. My three-year journey of unraveling and rebuilding has shown me that sustainable transformation doesn't come from pushing harder—it comes from learning to pause, regulate, and trust the wisdom that's already within you. If my story resonates with your own feelings of misalignment or burnout, I'd love for you to join me at my free live experience "The Art of Pausing" where you'll get to feel these shifts in your own nervous system.

Ep 52 - 5 Levels of Attachment: How Beliefs Shape Your Reality

Thu, 10 Apr 2025 09:00:00 -0400

Beliefs are powerful—but when they become who we are, they can start to limit us. In this short but potent conversation, Emily walks through the 5 Levels of Attachment using a relatable sports analogy that will change how you see your identity, your preferences, and your potential.

🔍What to Listen For

A simple analogy that demystifies how we attach to our beliefs
How preferences slowly become part of our identity
Why emotional reactions to opposing views reveal deeper attachment
What "internalization" really means in your personal growth journey
The surprising difference between your authentic self and your attached self
Signs you’re operating from Level 5 Fanaticism (and how to loosen the grip)
How beliefs can unconsciously shape your reality—even without your permission
The hidden cost of “being right” vs. being present
What sports fandom can teach us about politics, religion, and self-worth
A gentle invitation to ask: “Where am I believing without question?”

The deeper your attachment to a belief, the more it can shape—and sometimes limit—your life. This episode is your gentle nudge to explore where you may be clinging a little too tightly, and what freedom could feel like instead.

✔️ The emotional intimacy and lasting friendships that emerge from retreat experiences

Retreats are more than just a getaway—they’re an intentional space for transformation, healing, and deep reconnection with yourself. If you’ve been feeling stuck, disconnected, or craving something more, maybe it’s time to step away and see what unfolds.

Why “unconscious rest” (like getting sick) might be sabotaging your well-being.
How to intentionally create rest to avoid burnout.
The power of giving yourself permission to “not be helpful”—even for a day!
Why doing something “unproductive” can actually rejuvenate you.

How connecting with art or nature brings calm and creativity into your life.
The subtle yet profound impact of taking a break from responsibilities.

The secret to finding true rest in your own home—no vacation required.

No matter how busy life feels, there are always ways to prioritize rest. Start small: give yourself permission to pause, be still, or even take 10 minutes to enjoy solitude.

By making rest a regular part of your life, you’ll not only avoid burnout but also reconnect with your energy and joy.

Ep 9: Finding Out You’re Neurodivergent as an Adult - a conversation with Cara Wright, pt 2

Thu, 08 Feb 2024 07:00:00 -0500

📌 In this episode:

If you’re Gen X (or older), you probably didn’t hear the word “neurodivergent” until about five years ago. But if you’ve ever felt like you don’t fit in, or you can’t seem to function the way society tells you that you’re “supposed” to, chances are you may have a brain that works a little differently to most.

In Part 2 of my conversation with Cara Wright, we dive into what it’s like to discover you’re neurodivergent in your 40’s, and how liberating this discovery can be. We also explore what it means to actually be neurodivergent, and how you can use this superpower to enhance your life, instead of wasting your time trying to do things the “normal” way.

Feeling drained after trying to manage certain people in your life

Ep 2: Navigating the Infertility Rollercoaster as a Birth Doula - a conversation with Cara Wright, pt. 1

Wed, 03 Jan 2024 01:00:00 -0500

Imagine dedicating your life to helping women through the birthing process, only to discover that this is an experience you may never get to have.

This was Cara Wright’s reality - she was a birth doula and prenatal yoga teacher dealing with infertility. I invited my friend Cara to this podcast to have a refreshingly honest conversation about infertility and the toll it took on her marriage and career, as well as her subsequent health battles. In the process, she shares pearls of wisdom around finding your way through situations out of your control, and learning to understand what is actually true for you.

This is the first of a two-part conversation with Cara.

Ep 1: What Is Energy and How Can It Help You Change Your Life?

Wed, 27 Dec 2023 12:00:00 -0500

A famous quote from Albert Einstein:

“Everything is energy and that’s all there is to it. Match the frequency of the reality you want and you cannot help but get that reality. It can be no other way. This is not philosophy. This is physics.”

I like to elaborate on this concept with an analogy:

Energies are like different flavors you can add to your life to make it more wonderful, rich, and abundant. We all like different flavors (frequencies). The more you ask to add new energies/flavors that you love, and that match the vibration and frequency of a life you desire, the greater your life becomes.

Takeaways From This Episode:

We all speak the language of energy - we all come in as babies with energy as our first language. It’s something you intuitively know although many of us have forgotten that language or got confused by it since so many people’s words that they speak don’t match the energy of the thoughts, feelings and emotions actually going on.
We all have a massive energetic capacity, if you don't see energy, or you don't feel it, that doesn't mean you don't get it.
Think of a place you love to go or a person you love to be around, that’s the ENERGY that you are drawn to.
‘I love your energy’ is one of the greatest acknowledgements and compliments you can give and receive.
Rather than always being at the effect of the outside world, and letting that change our vibration and how our world shows up to us, you can instead shift your vibration and change your frequency which then creates a life unique to you.
The 5 Main Clairs (senses) - many of us have heard of clairvoyance - ‘clear seeing’, then there’s clairaudience (clear hearing), clairsentience (clear feeling), clairalience (clear smelling) and claircognizance (clear knowing). Claircognizance is when you just know something to be true, even though you didn’t see it, hear it or feel it. You just know it. If this is how you perceive energy, you may have always thought you don’t ‘get it’ since there’s no sensory input like sight, sound, feeling or smell. This is actually just a different way of following your intuition. When you can identify which one is your dominant one, then it’s often easiest to start there and develop your own intuitive abilities, work on them and strengthen them.
Join me for these weekly conversations with myself and guests - where I hope you walk away with a few great takeaways and feeling like you just had an awesome conversation with a good friend. I hope that these episodes inspire all of us with ideas of how to shift from survival mode to thriving in our lives.
There’s always more to explore and expand upon!
