  • 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.

  • I'm scared - and how I'm working with it

    I'm scared - and how I'm working with it
    2026/06/12
    Lately, I've been scared. Not scared of the world. Not scared of taking risks. Not even scared of hard work. I've been scared of hearing "no." After a season of pushing, advocating, creating and putting myself out there, I realised my heart was feeling a little tender. And when we're carrying disappointment, rejection or exhaustion, even simple asks can start to feel overwhelming. In this episode, I share what I've been noticing in myself, the fear of asking, why I was retreating instead of reaching out, and the mindset shifts helping me move forward. I also talk about the concept of 100 No's, Shoot Your Shot Wednesday, and how building resilience isn't about becoming fearless. It's about continuing to show up, even when you're scared. And also - learning my own message again of sometimes we have to REST in order to RECEIVE. Rest is also a strategy. These things can all work in together. If you've been holding back, avoiding the ask, or feeling vulnerable after a difficult season, this episode is for you.

  • Consultant: Identity Shift

    Consultant: Identity Shift
    2026/05/29
    Who am I now? And what do I actually want to be known for? Existential crisis incoming! Jokes! But I am sharing from a place of processing and letting you in behind the scenes as I'm in transition. And I hope, if you're in the same messy middle - this finds you and you feel very, very seen (or heard, it's a podcast after all!) I’m sharing the identity shift I’ve been moving through, from calling myself a coach to embracing the word consultant, and why that change feels deeply aligned with the work I’m doing today. I talk about the evolution of my personal brand, how I’ve gone from running Lovelly Communications to becoming The Bleisure Coach, and now focusing in on the Retreats side of my business in a consulting capacity, which all contributes to my bleisure life. Also, as you can see, why being multi-passionate can sometimes make it harder for people to describe what you do. This episode was sparked by a powerful realisation during one of my retreats in India, a conversation with my own mentor, and a simple social media question asking people: “How would you describe what I do?” The answers were beautiful, surprising, emotional, and incredibly revealing. If you’ve ever felt like you’re evolving beyond your current title, this episode is for you.

  • Wellness Travel with Neil Sullivan

    Wellness Travel with Neil Sullivan
    2026/05/19
    We hear the word wellness everywhere right now. Saunas. Ice baths. Supplements. Morning routines. But what if we’ve overcomplicated it? In this episode, I sit down with Neil O’Sullivan, founder of Nimbus Co, to unpack what wellness really looks like. Beyond the trends, the aesthetics, and the pressure to “get it right.” What does wellness mean to you? We talk about mental health, burnout, building a business, and why chasing the perfect routine might actually be the thing that's continuing the burnout. This is a grounded, honest conversation about what it actually means to feel well, in your body, your mind, and your life. We also explore the huge rise in wellness travel and how that impacts not only the retreat industry, but how local businesses can bring the feeling of wellness travel to home. Because wellbeing isn’t something you achieve. Being well is.

  • Mexico ... experience vs reality

    Mexico ... experience vs reality
    2026/05/14
    Mexico ... experience vs reality Mexico has held a special place in my heart since I first lived there in 2009, and returning six years after our cenote wedding felt emotional, surreal, beautiful… and honestly, more confronting than I expected. In this episode, I’m sharing the real story behind our return to Mexico in April 2026 with our five-year-old son: recreating our underwater wedding photo shoot, speaking Spanish and reflecting on how I learnt to 17 years, navigating travel exhaustion, dealing with chaotic travel moments, and rediscovering what I truly love about Mexico. This isn’t just about travel. It’s about identity, purpose, expectations versus reality, slowing down, reconnecting to culture and nature, and creating a Bleisure Life that actually feels aligned. I also share why this trip confirmed something big for me: I'm finally ready to host a retreat in Mexico! If you’ve ever romanticised a place, questioned whether travel still feels the same, or wondered what it really looks like to blend business, travel and life, this episode is for you.
