Welcome back to Emma's Dilemma, where I take your dilemmas and answer them with piping hot advice on life and money. Today's dilemma is all about untangling that overwhelming feeling of having competing priorities and deciding which direction your life is going to go in next. 

In this episode, we cover:

• "Holding space" for that feeling of overwhelm
• Addressing what we're avoiding by allowing the overwhelm to win
• A matrix for helping you plot out what matters most to you
• Turning that into an action plan for what's next.

WELCOME TO THE WARDROBE PROJECT MINI SERIES, BABY! In celebration of launching my upcoming second book, The Wardrobe Project, this mini series will give you a little taster of the contents of the book and the year challenge I set myself to not buy clothes. In this first episode we're breaking down the 5 key things that made me want to investigate my clothes buying habits, from money leaks and emotional spending hanging around after my debt pay off, to lockdown confidence challenges and cognitive dissonance around sustainability.

Everyone's talking about "locking in" and setting up their September to December sprint. So as always I'm here to be your brain-obsessed behavioural guide to designing your own lock in that doesn't leave you borrowing inspiration from everyone's TikToks. 

In this episode, I cover:

• How to get double the progress for half the effort by borrowing motivation from another goal
• Choosing your focus areas with intention
• How to stay the course for the rest of the year (and why most of your energy shouldn't be spent trying to go hard for 12 whole weeks)
• Why the energy you bring to your lock in matters, and why it might be different depending on where you are in the world.
• The importance of reflecting as you go through your lock in
