This episode is a wild, joyful permission slip to break free from every box you’ve ever put yourself into in the bid to be the goodest good girl in the world.
This week I’m joined by Emma Eirene - founder of Joyous Misfit, creator of the Pleasure Code Framework and all-round joy activator - for a delicious conversation about choosing authenticity, creativity and pleasure over all the ‘good girl’ expectations we’re taught to live by.
Emma shares her journey from burnt-out primary school teacher to fierce advocate for feminine energy, somatic healing and radical self-expression. We go deep on what it means to rebel against the ‘shoulds’ that keep us small and step into a life led fully by our authentic passion, joy and self-trust.
Here’s what we get into:
✨ How burnout became the catalyst for Emma’s radical self-reclamation, and her journey from burnout to a life and business that’s led entirely by joy and freedom.
✨ What it really takes to stop playing by society’s rulebook - and start creating your own
✨ The role of somatic practices and nervous system support in shifting from survival to soul-led
✨ Why emotions are instructions (not inconveniences!), and how to start listening effectively to them
✨ Practical ways to reconnect with your joy and activate your truest, most authentic and aligned self
✨ How to tune into exactly what your body is telling you about what she needs, what’s keeping you stuck, and what to do to reach your next best level.
Whether you’re itching to rebel against who you’ve been made to believe you ‘should’ be or you just want to get out of the doldrums of your everyday life, this conversation is exactly the soul food and loving truth bombs you’ll need to find that spark again.
🎧 Tune in now to start stopping all those ‘good girl shoulds,’ rekindling your joy and remembering how truly powerful it is to live life your way - no compromises.
