Send us a text

Returning to the UK unexpectedly has transformed my relationships and shown me the powerful results of inner work. The five weeks spent reconnecting with family and friends reveals how clearing mental debris creates space for deeper connections and authentic interactions.

• Received a clear intuitive download to return to the UK for summer
• Committed to personal growth for 12 months with incredible results
• Family still triggers old patterns but now I approach them differently
• Using triggers as opportunities for growth rather than reactions
• Ram Dass quote: "If you think you are evolved, go spend a week with your family"
• Peter Crone teaching: "Life presents people and circumstances to reveal where you're not free"
• Recognising that personal triggers reveal our own wounds needing healing
• Understanding everyone is a soul having a human experience
• Experiencing profound shifts in how I relate to my mother's comments
• Inner work transforms how we relate to ourselves and consequently to others
• Everything you want is already inside you – love, possibility, and abundance

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:01):
Welcome to the Becoming your Warrior podcast.
This is the place where you getto feel inspired and empowered
to step into your very best life.
Hello, hello and welcome to theBecoming your Warrior podcast.
It's Em.
This is coming to you from arainy afternoon in the summer of

(00:23):
2025 in England, in thenortheast, and I am going to say
this I've been back here forfive weeks.
It's been absolutely incredible.
The weather has beensensational and it has only
rained three days since I'vebeen back.
So that's pretty incredible.
But yeah, the irony ofrecording this on a day when
it's raining is not lost on me,of recording this on a day when

(00:47):
it's raining is not lost on me.
So I want to share.
I've been back in the UK forfive weeks.
My decision to come back to theUK was very sudden, not because
anything was wrong, but justbecause I had a very clear
download about eight days beforeI jumped on the flight.
It was just like go back to theUK, go back and have summer in
the UK.
I'd taken some time off work, Iwasn't really sure what I was

(01:08):
going to do and it has been thebest decision and the best
download.
Thank you, universe, for thatone Um, to come back here
because my relationships with myfamily and with my friends here
have just gone 10x.
Like I realize that all thiswork that I've been doing on

(01:30):
myself because I'm such socommitted to this work, I'm so
committed to like freedom andfreeing my mind and really
really being in the presentmoment as much as I possibly can
that I have been doing so muchwork on myself for the last 12
months and the diggers have comeout.
I've got into my subconsciousand had some help along the way

(01:53):
from some amazing coaches andcleared some old debris out the
way and created a lot more spacefor calm and peace and love and
presence in my life.
And it really it's reallyinteresting because my friends
in Sydney have seen.
I guess this more of a likeslower transformation where now

(02:15):
that I've come back to the UKand I've actually witnessed
myself interacting in all myrelationships with my mom, with
my family, with my friends, andactually feeling the difference
you know, when you don't seepeople every single day to come
back and actually feel thedifference and just feel the

(02:36):
inner energy within me.
It's actually amplified myrelationships.
I'm not saying I'm responsiblefor, like how amazing my
friendships are, but it's likethe co-creation, it's just, I
just feel so different and it'sjust been so beautiful to be
back here, to be with my friends, to be with my family and still

(02:58):
understand that I'm still goingto get triggered.
You know, there's a couple ofbeautiful quotes I want to throw
in here.
One is by Ram Dass, which is ifyou think you are evolved, go
and spend a week with yourfamily, and that is always where
the triggers are, and there'sdefinitely been a few.
And the other one is by one ofmy teachers, peter Krohn.
If you haven't heard of PeterKrohn before, jump on Instagram

(03:23):
and follow him.
He's just Peter Krohn.
It's Krohn, like the birdC-R-O-N-E.
I've done so much training withhim over the last year.
He's an incredible soul,incredible man, very, very lucky
to have found his work.
But he has a quote which I love,which is life will present you
with the people andcircumstances to reveal where

(03:45):
you're not free and what thatbasically means is.
In life, we are going to havepeople who say things, who do
things.
We're going to havecircumstances show up in our
life and they are going totrigger us, they are going to
evoke some sort of emotion in usand that is an opportunity for
growth and to evolve that.

(04:05):
And really now, when I look atall everything that's happened
in my life, I am so grateful forit all, because all of the
triggers, all of the people andthat includes not very nice
people from my perspective whohave been in my life or who, you
know, in some way shape or formhave, like inverted commas,

(04:26):
hurt me.
I'm grateful for it all.
I am grateful for it allbecause every single one of
those people has helped me tounderstand more and more about
my inner self-worth, my innerself-value.
So, so, so grateful for it.
But I want to share a funnylittle thing that happened not
that long ago, maybe about threeweeks ago.

(04:47):
I was down south visiting oneof my friends and we were
talking about a mutual personthat we know who has happened to
have an affair.
And it was so interestingbecause my friend who I would
say is a very evolved personspiritually and just a really
beautiful soul, you know, wasvery sort of calm and at peace

(05:10):
when she was telling me what hadhappened.
And it was so interestingnoticing this trigger in myself
because I actually got angry andI was just like, oh my God,
like what the heck are theydoing?
Like, come on, grow up.
And it was really interestingbecause we had a conversation
afterwards and I was like, doyou know what I realize?
The reason that I had such astrong reaction to that story,

(05:31):
even though it doesn't affect meat all is because I grew up in
a household where my mum wascheated on in her second
marriage and I saw that and Ialso dealt with the aftermath as
a young girl and so for me, Iguess there was a lot of

(05:53):
judgment that came up and therewas a lot of kind of my own
anger and my own judgment and myown belief systems around
cheating where in actual fact,it's like it's absolutely none
of my business, it's got nothingto do with me, and this work
over the last 12 months hasallowed me just to see I'm a
soul in a human body.

(06:14):
That person having the affairis a soul in a human body and
you know, my friend is a soul ina human body and all of us are
just on this journey.
Does that mean that there arepeople out there who harm people
intentionally?
Yeah, and, and you know I don'tagree with that.
You know if people are harmingpeople, but we're all on our own

(06:36):
journey and we're all here toevolve and bust through our own
constraints.
And I, you know, with the workthat I've been doing and without
making any presumptions,there's probably a part of that
person that just didn't feelenough growing up, and so maybe
you know and this is me justprojecting maybe that person is
doing that because they justneed to feel that they're enough

(06:58):
and that validation comes fromdoing whatever they're doing.
So it's been such aninteresting trip, as I said.
You know my relationships witheverybody, oh, it's just been so
nice and just witnessing even,I guess, some comments that my
mum would have, you know, saidin the last five weeks.
You know it's, it's almost,they're almost comical.

(07:20):
Now I'm like laughing at it andwe're both laughing at it and
laughing off where maybe threeor four years ago it would have
triggered me or I would havefelt angry that she said certain
things.
And so it just goes to show,when you commit to doing the
inner work, when you get the um,the old diggers out and you go
into the subconscious and you,you know, really clear the path

(07:41):
and really commit to evolvingyour constraints and evolving
beyond your belief systems,everything can change and how
you relate to yourself and how Irelate to myself now is how I
am going to improve and havemore beautiful relationships
with other people.

(08:01):
The more that you believe inyourself, more that you love
yourself, the more well not evenlove yourself the more that you
realize that you are love, likeI am love, I am presence, I am
possibility, I am, you know, joy, I am bliss, I am all the
things, I am abundance.
And the more that you actuallyrealize that this is your soul
speaking inside your humanexperience, the more compassion,

(08:24):
the more your relationships aregoing to improve and it's just
beautiful, beautiful work and Ihighly recommend it.
So, wherever you are,whatever's going on in your
relationships at the moment,especially, more importantly,
the one to yourself, I reallywant to just remind you.
You are love, you arepossibility, you are presence.

(08:45):
Everything you want is insideyou.
I used to hate it when peopleused to say that, because I
didn't understand what the heckit meant and how people got to
that stage.
But everything you want isalready inside you all the love,
all the possibility, all theabundance.
Everything is here.
And the more that you start totap into that and realize that,
the more it's reflected on theoutside.

(09:06):
Sending you so much love and Iwill talk to you soon.
Have a beautiful morning,afternoon, evening, wherever you
are.
Lots of love to you and I'llchat soon.
