  • House Music With Annie Reid

    House Music With Annie Reid
    2026/09/02
    What happens when you give a big idea the space to be spoken out loud? In this episode of The Emma Lovell Show, I’m joined by my brilliant client, friend and colleague Annie Reid, an author, design journalist, copywriter and founder of Atrium Media and House Music. Annie has written and collaborated on 12 published books, with a career spanning architecture, interiors, property, sustainability and business. We talk about her creative career, the evolution of Atrium Media, and how conversations on our retreat in India helped Annie find the confidence to bring an ambitious idea she’d been carrying to life. That idea is House Music, an immersive sound and design experience planned for Melbourne in July 2027, where multidisciplinary artists will transform the rooms of the historic Labassa Mansion through sound, objects and visual elements. Annie shares the vision for House Music, where the idea came from, where it could go next, and what happened when she finally started saying it out loud. A beautiful conversation about creativity, courage and asking yourself: What if it works?

  • How do you celebrate & reflect

    How do you celebrate & reflect
    2026/08/27
    What have you done, experienced, changed or overcome in the past year that deserves to be celebrated? In this special birthday episode, I’m sharing 39 things I’m celebrating at 39. Some are big, tangible milestones, including publishing A Life of Magic, buying Retreat Me Happy, reaching 80 countries and preparing to move my family to India. Others are quieter achievements, like holding my boundaries, letting go of relationships that no longer serve me, returning to morning walks and becoming more comfortable with who I am. I also reflect on the passing of the incomparable Dolly Parton and the lessons she leaves us about knowing who you are, shining brightly and bringing joy to the world simply by being yourself. This episode is an invitation to pause, look back and give yourself credit for everything you’ve accomplished. You don’t have to wait for your birthday or another major milestone to celebrate your progress. Choose a number, make your own list and remember: you have done more than you think! Celebrate it - today!

  • I Bought a business

    I Bought a business
    2026/08/15
    I bought a business. Actually, I bought it almost a year ago …and today I can finally tell you about it. Meet Retreat Me Happy, a global retreat discovery and industry platform bringing together retreat guests, hosts, venues and suppliers. In this very spontaneous (and very fast!) episode, I'm sharing the story of how Retreat Me Happy came into my world, why I knew almost immediately that I wanted to buy it, and why I then spent nearly a year quietly holding the business before I was ready to bring it properly to life. I talk about becoming the custodian of something another founder created, how Retreat Me Happy fits alongside Emma Lovell and Rest & Receive, and why this business feels different from anything I've built before. Because this one isn't meant to be all about me. It's about creating a place where the whole world of retreats can come together, whether you're looking for a retreat, hosting one, searching for the perfect venue or providing the products and services that make incredible retreat experiences possible. And after more than a year of dreaming, visioning, waiting and wondering what this could become, we're finally here. Welcome to Retreat Me Happy. Discover. Connect. Retreat.

  • We are moving to INDIA!

    We are moving to INDIA!
    2026/07/29
    We’re moving to India! After months of planning, conversations and figuring out the logistics, I’m finally sharing the full story behind our family’s decision to spend three months living, working and travelling throughout India. In this episode, I answer the questions everyone has been asking: ✨What will Mathew do about work? ✨What about Finn’s school? ✨How will I run my business? ✨And what are we doing with our home and our beloved cat, T’Challa? I also share some exciting changes happening within my businesses, including the repositioning of Rest & Receive, the growth of my retreat consulting work, plans for VIP Days in India and a NEW business aquisition. But this episode is about much more than moving overseas. It’s about refusing to wait 15 years for the freedom you want. It’s about recognising that time with the people you love isn’t guaranteed and choosing to create a life you love now. If you’ve been waiting for the “right time” to travel, start the business, follow an idea or make a big change, this episode is your reminder: if you don’t leap, you’ll never know. This is the #BleisureLife in action and I can’t wait to share it all with you.

  • Soul Alignment with Ann Marie Grace

    Soul Alignment with Ann Marie Grace
    2026/07/21
    Have you ever wondered why certain things come naturally to you, why you keep repeating the same patterns, or why some seasons of life feel completely out of alignment? In this episode, I'm joined by soul alignment coach and professional astrologer **Anne Marie Grace** for a fascinating conversation about astrology, Human Design, Gene Keys and the power of understanding your unique blueprint. We first connected through SourceBottle when Anne Marie was looking for people who had never experienced an astrology reading before. After my own reading, I knew I had to invite her onto the podcast. Together we explore: * Why astrology is so much more than your star sign. * How Human Design and Gene Keys can offer practical guidance for everyday life. * The difference between using these tools as a guide rather than a rulebook. * Learning to trust your own intuition instead of outside expectations. * Why understanding yourself can strengthen your relationships with your partner, children and team. * The role of change, growth and self-acceptance in creating a life you genuinely love. * Whether spirituality and self-awareness are becoming more mainstream. * How understanding your natural gifts can give you permission to stop trying to be someone you're not. One of my biggest takeaways from our conversation was Anne Marie reminding me that **my voice is my gift**—a message that deeply resonated and has stayed with me ever since. Whether you're completely new to astrology or already exploring Human Design, this conversation offers a grounded, thoughtful perspective on using these tools to better understand yourself and create a life that feels more aligned. If you've ever felt like you're trying to fit into someone else's definition of success, this episode is for you.

  • Finding Active Joy While Chasing Big Dreams

    Finding Active Joy While Chasing Big Dreams
    2026/07/16
    Sometimes life can get in the way, even when you're planning a big dream. In this episode, I'm sharing a real-life update on what has been happening behind the scenes. From battling the Australian winter cold, juggling school holidays and family logistics, to planning our next big move, this is an honest look at what creating a life you love actually looks like. I also share a concept that completely shifted my perspective: **active joy**. Instead of waiting until you've achieved the goal, earned the money or reached the destination, how can you intentionally create moments of joy today? This episode also shares: * Our next BIG dream and plan ... listen for the scoop * What happens when life slows you down. * Turning on multiple income streams to fund a big dream. * Why commitment matters more than certainty. * Finding gratitude and abundance, even when business isn't perfect. * My new (and slightly outrageous!) plan for **40 things for my 40th year.** If you've ever felt like your dreams have been put on hold because life got messy, this episode is your reminder that progress doesn't have to be perfect, and neither do you.

    Show up on LinkedIn with Kate Merryweather
    2026/06/26
    LinkedIn doesn't have to feel awkward, salesy or overwhelming. In this episode, I'm joined by my LinkedIn coach (and friend), Kate Merryweather, to talk about what actually works on LinkedIn in 2026. Kate shares how she went from freelance copywriter to one of Australia's leading LinkedIn coaches, why generosity is one of the best marketing strategies, and how showing up consistently can completely change your business. We also chat about one of my favourite concepts from her community, Shoot Your Shot Wednesday, and why asking for opportunities, pitching yourself and becoming comfortable hearing "no" has become such a big focus in my own business this year. Whether you're looking for more clients, speaking opportunities, collaborations or simply want your content to work harder for you, this episode has loads of practical strategies you can start using today. If you've ever wondered: "What should I post on LinkedIn?" "How do I connect with people without being annoying?" "How do I actually get leads from LinkedIn?" ...this episode is for you.

  • Step Inside the Bleisure Life

    Step Inside the Bleisure Life
    2026/06/18
    What does the Bleisure Life actually look like in real life? We've decided to shake up the podcast and give you a bit more a "day in the life of", or week in the life of, and really bring you along the bleisure journey. Leading by example and experience, and finding ways that YOU can make small changes with impact to live your own #BleisureLife, now. Emma shares what's happening behind the scenes, from the lessons she's been reflecting on around goals, achievement, and celebrating success, to a major family decision that's been months in the making. After years of teaching the Bleisure Life philosophy, Emma realised that perhaps the best way to explain it isn't through theory, but through lived experience. This is the beginning of a new chapter and a new style of podcast, where Emma takes you behind the scenes and shares the realities, decisions, opportunities, and challenges of creating a Bleisure Life.
