The Emma Guns Show

Heartbreak is no fun and while it might be a rite of passage and something everyone will go through, the emotional, mental and physical pain can be unbearable and feel never-ending. While the breakdown of a relationship can be horrendous, the end of a friendship can be devastating too and Shelley J Whitehead has a guide to overcoming this kind of heartbreak, which she shares in this episode.

There are stages of heartbreak, all of which are important, and as awful as they may feel as the time, they are evidence of moving through and eventually beyond the heartbreak...

Shelley's book Healing Your Heartbreak in 28 Days is available now.

I wanted to share a little update with you about my wardrobe cleanse and how it made me break-up with Free People (you can read about that heartbreak here) as well as an excellent article I read from The Times on the trend of taking breaks from dating called Boy Sober.

What is the impact of narcissistic abuse? And can you ever recover? Dr Ramani Durvasual is arguably the world's leading expert on narcissism and her books and YouTube channel are testament to her breadth of knowledge on the topic. However, while defining, describing and identifying narcissism has become a widespread pastime, how actually to recover from the effects of narcissistic abuse is much less talked about - until now.

Dr Ramani's latest book It's Not You: How to Identify and Heal from Narcissistic People delves into how to put yourself back together, how to be wise to and avoid gaslighting and how to navigate the world without being sucked into narcissist's gravitational pull.

On her first visit to the podcast, Dr Ramani helped me realised my role as an enabler and in this conversation we discuss how to build the emotional toolkit required to navigate a world with difficult people.

Who knew a wardrobe clear-out, which was more about not contributing to the cycle of fast, disposable fashion would also cause a bit of a 'rethink' about how I want to present myself in the world.

Well, turns out that selling on Vinted has opened my eyes to a few things about my wardrobe that had nothing to do with clothes and/or fashion.

You always have a good time with Amanda Lamb. That's been my experience since knowing her; she always leaves me laughing, is the first to give you a sideways look about an in-joke and is makes you feel amazing for having spent time in her company. So how wonderful to have committed her genuine friendship and authenticity to audio in this conversation where we discuss how she felt invisible in her 40s and is now loving her 50s, being numbed by anti-anxiety medication and the dreams and aspirations she still wants to achieve.

In this episode I bring you a rant about self-help and what I think has been a huge change to the way we look for support and advice. Plus, I have Covid and it all goes off the rails a bit.

I adored this conversation with Katy Hill. You may recognise her face, and voice, from her time on iconic children's entertainment show Blue Peter but Katy is now a personal development and empowerment coach and established LIMITLESS by Katy Hill in 2018.

Suffice it to say, if you are in need of a boost, this is the conversation to listen to. We cover everything from knowing what your dreams are, being comfortable with what your version of success looks like and how to plot a path towards your best life.

January seemed to go on forever and it might be why so many of us are feeling depleted, tired and burnt out before the first month was over, but in this episode I share what I think might be a useful way to re-frame how you look at productivity and avoid burnout and exhaustion altogether.

Stacey Duguid has my heart after this conversation. We have many mutual friends but this was our first proper chat and, as you'll hear, it's exactly that - a searingly honest get-to-you-know-you conversation that just so happened to be committed to audio. I love an open guest who isn't afraid to tell it how it is and that's exactly what Stacey is.

From navigating infidelity, divorce, unhappy relationships, mental and emotional breakdowns, going back to bed, losing friends on the way, the discomfort of mid-life and what it really means to be neurodivergent in the world... This is a wide-ranging conversation and I sincerely hope you love it!

Don't hang up! You don't have to but what if she just spent a little time looking at our spending habits and how we could spend our money a little more wisely? I say this as someone who loves the dopamine high of a next day delivery or splurge when I'm out at the shops but who is realising more and more, how unnecessary it all is...
