This week on Sufficiently Self(ish), Emma encourages the listeners to slip into something a little more comfortable... BED! Societal norms lead us to believe that the less sleep we need the better. But really this is at a detriment to ourselves and those around us. We perform better in body, mind, and spirits when we are properly recharged, just like the devices we covet and care for so meticulously. Tune in to find out how to get an hour (or more!) sleep back into your own schedule and why sleep is one of our favorite Self(ish) activities.

This week Emma goes over lesson 1 of Self(ish) etiquette— treating others as THEY want to be treated. Yes, we know the saying goes "treat others as YOU want to be treated", but we flip that around. At the end of the day, it is all about individuality and respect. We don't all want the same things and this applies to how we are treated as well, no matter what society says is "proper" or "right".  In order to get what we want, we have to be willing to give others what they want. Tune in to get your daily dose of Self(ish), and redefine your understanding of etiquette.

Science meets astrology in this week's episode when Emma gives the Geminii breakdown of Human Design 101. We find this the most Self(ish) exploration you can do because it very specifically covers who you are. Based on your birth date, time, and location (similar to a birth star chart), the Human Design System explores many facets of who you are (at both a conscious and unconscious level), how you best make decisions, and ultimately how to find your personal path to fulfillment. This episode covers: What is Human Design? What you are looking at when you see your Human Design chart. And, most importantly, what to do with the information in your Human Design chart.

This week Emma divulges juicy Self(ish) advice her brother passed on almost 20 years ago— F*CK IT. Instead of getting frustrated and disappointed by the nitty-gritty details in life, we would all benefit from choosing to say "f*ck it" and letting it go. Emma explores examples of putting this perspective to use (despite her stubborn nature that drives her to be like a dog with a bone 🦴🐕) and how it has benefitted her to do so. Tune in to find out how you too can learn to just say "F*CK IT!" and let the minutiae melt away.

Sensuality is timeless and ageless, and once you know how to connect to yours, a world of pleasure awaits. Learn how to find your pathway to arousal, and create a roadmap to pleasure (for yourself or your partner to journey down). Nathalie and Emma explore what it means to own your sensuality and the impact this has on all areas of your life. Whether you are into feather-like touch or kinky sex, connecting to your sensuality will allow you to surrender to a world of pleasure beyond the bedroom. Are you ready to embody yours?

Danielle talks about her time in the peace corps, hiking monumental trails in the US, and how she started a business fueled by her passions (with a brief layover in a vegan nudist colony, of course!). Danielle walks Emma and the listeners through her fascinating life, some of the lessons she has learned, and why pushing through discomfort on your path is always worth the payoff.

Emma is joined by Jen Metcalfe— a young writer, brand, and content strategist— who always had her eyes set on entrepreneurship. After a semester abroad in Bali opened her eyes to the world of being a "digital nomad", she knew her vision was not only possible but a popular choice available to more than just computer programmers. Even though Jen's elders (including her parents, teachers, and recruiters) were pushing her towards careers they thought she should explore, Jen knew she had to follow her inner voice and do her own thing. Her refreshing outlook on entrepreneurship (why spend your way working up the corporate ladder when you can design your own ladder?!) is just one of the many reasons why you will want to check out this episode.

This week Emma sits down with Britney Tezanos-Pinto to discuss codependency. After being "diagnosed" as codependent, Britney set off on a personal journey to break these bonds and learn to prioritize herself— which has led her to be stronger as an individual and, as a result, a better mom and wife. Emma and Britney explore how personality tests (like Enneagram, Myers Briggs, Strengthsfinders, etc) can provide useful information to assist you on your own self-improvement journey. (As well as what it is like to be featured on a kitchen renovation show!) For any moms out there who struggle with the idea of putting yourself first, this is for you!

Ever wonder how some people are able to effortlessly do things they don't necessarily want to do? While you are struggling to do the things you DO want to do? Then this is the episode for you! Emma dives into manipulation, and how, when used with good intentions, it is a powerful, empowering, self-development tool.  We know ourselves better than anyone else knows us, so when it comes to manipulation - we are our ideal targets. We know what makes us tick, so how do you leverage that to tick your way to what you want? Tune in to find out!

This episode gets personal. Take a trip down memory lane while Emma reflects back on being an unhappy kid (despite her admittedly incredible childhood). When she heard family-friends and family members telling her mother that she should be put on anti-depressants, she set out to prove them wrong. Which started her unintentional self-development journey. That morphed into an extremely intentional way of life. And now she finds herself as a coach, supporting others in their own self-development. Check out this week's episode to hear about Emma's round-about journey and the lessons she learned along the way that helped her grow into a better version of herself.

This week we are exploring the most detested word in the coaching industry - "should". Should's are riddled with expectation, obligation, all the things we politely say "f*ck off" to when living self(ish)ly. We all have expectations of - ourselves - the people in our lives - what is acceptable in society but when we learn to go with the flow and follow our own path, instead of being weighed down with all of these SHOULDS (that we have for ourselves and others), that is when we truly flourish.

In this week's episode, Emma dives into 7 common challenges that solopreneurs face. Whether you are in business, thinking about getting into business, or are just curious about what struggles someone who runs a company basically single-hand-idly deals with, this episode is for you. As a solopreneur who works with a lot of other solopreneurs, Emma is intimately tuned in to these challenges, and how to overcome them.

This episode is all about living life for yourself, knowing your worth, and choosing to design your life for YOU - because if you don't, who will?! Finally, Emma examines what it means to Live Self (ISH) ly and why she has chosen this concept to crusade. Emma explores the etymology of the word "selfish" and reviews philosophical works on the ethical implications of what this means. And then of course makes it practical and relevant by discussing what it means to put these principles into practice. The best teachers are those who have first-hand experience, and Emma is a pro at living "self-forward".

Goal setting advice approved by Project Managers and Coaches alike! You may (or may not) have heard about the project management framework for “SMART” goals (specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, time-bound), but this acronym is not just useful for corporate-driven goals.

In addition to diving into SMART goals on a personal level, this episode covers tips Emma picked up in her coaching experience that help make your goals feel like a cinch to achieve (and nearly impossible to fail!)

In this week's episode of Sufficiently Self(ish) we talk about why cultivating a happy mindset is so important. This is a topic that comes up over and over in both conversations with friends as well as with my clients so I wanted to do a deeper dive into the topic that I spoke about in a recent IGTV post. We touch on how to start your day with a positive attitude that will carry throughout your day, how to not get thrown off by the unexpected, and how to be more mindful of appreciating the small beautiful moments in life that are happening constantly all around you. And of course, we round it out with the quick, simple, free, techniques you can start applying today in order to become a happier, more mindful, version of yourself!

In this week's episode, Emma is joined by long-time friend Charlotte Longworth. They discuss how their friendship has complemented and supported each other's growth journeys, how to take full advantage of your life, and how it is never too late to take the leap and start something new - even if it is a complete career change.
