What happens when your body completely shuts down—and no one can explain why? In this behind-the-scenes solo episode, Emily invites you into the real, raw, and honestly kind of ridiculous past few weeks of her life. From first-trimester exhaustion and creative burnout to a surprise trip to urgent care where she couldn’t catch her breath, this is one of those “how is this my life right now?” updates… with a whole lot of insight and soul stirred in.

This episode is less of a lesson and more of a late-night voice memo to a friend. Emily shares what’s been coming up emotionally, physically, and energetically—including unprocessed grief, ancestral messages, and what happens when your body forces you to stop. She talks about the Celtic “three cauldrons” energy system, the connection between grief and the lungs, the unexpected clarity that came through a spiritual healer, and why she’s (reluctantly) learning to trust the timing of it all.

You’ll hear the behind-the-scenes of pushing back launches, juggling family life mid-chaos, coughing through conversations (and diapers—yes, plural), and why she’s feeling more like herself than she has in months. This isn’t a polished TED Talk—it’s a real-time unraveling and remembering.

So if you’ve been feeling off, burnt out, disconnected, or just craving a deeply human moment… this episode is here to remind you that your body is wise, the timing is divine, and the mess might just be where the magic begins.

In this episode, I explore:

• The physical, emotional, and spiritual unraveling that led Emily to urgent care—and what it revealed
• How grief is stored in the lungs (according to traditional Chinese medicine) and why that matters during illness
• The Celtic “three cauldrons” energy system and what it taught her about burnout, depletion, and creative shutdown
• What it feels like to be brought to your knees by pregnancy, and why this time was different
• The unexpected messages that came through from a spiritual healer—and what they revealed about the baby she’s carrying
• How ancestral energy, illness, and synchronicity can work together as a powerful invitation to surrender
• The role of somatic awareness in spiritual growth and how to start listening to the messages your body is trying to send
• A loving reminder that burnout isn’t a flaw—it’s a signal that something deeper is asking to be felt, honored, and healed
