She Said It Out Loud with Emma Young

Ever looked at yourself and thought… “Shit, maybe I’m the problem”?

Welcome to the very first episode of She Said It Out Loud, where I introduce myself properly, no filters and definitely no “I’m just so passionate about personal growth” crap. This is me, Emma Young: wife, mum of two teenage girls, teacher, celebrant, major Swiftie and ex–judgmental bitch (yep, I said it).

In this episode, I talk about how growing up in Geraldton shaped me, what being bullied did to my confidence, and the wild ride that came after. From describing my first girl kiss as like melted butter to ticking “Tinder” off the bucket list (and hating every bloody second). But the real heart of this one is the moment a friend told me I wasn’t making her a better person… and how those words changed everything.

You’ll walk away from this one feeling seen, a little shocked, maybe laughing at my disasters, but hopefully thinking about the version of you that you want to be.

So, buckle in. It’s raw, it’s unfiltered, it’s the messy truth about who I was before I made the shift.

Come find me on Instagram @officiallyemmayoung and tell me, what’s one thing you’ve had to own about yourself lately? I bloody love hearing these stories.

In this episode we cover:

• Growing up in Geraldton and surviving brutal 90s high school life
• Living in Nebraska as an exchange student
• Marrying her high-school sweetheart and later facing divorce
• Her first (and last) Tinder experience
• Being called out by a friend for toxic behaviour
• Learning how to stop being a judgmental bitch
• The birth of “making the shift” and encouraging women to back each other
