On May 13th 2022, Ema stood on top of the world—Mount Everest. That moment marked the end of one journey, and the beginning of something much deeper.

Let’s Talk with Ema , her YouTube Channel—dives into the raw stories behind the highlight reels o...
For all those that have read my book, Mental Mountains, they may have an idea, how Ema finally turned to Jesus, independent of religion.
On April 7 2009 when she found herself on the floor of her bedroom curled - up in the fetal position, somehow death was not an option, like it had been an easy out when she was 14 and then at 20.
People sometime say how strong she is, or look at what she has accomplished, both as an entr...
We have a tendancy to see failure as a negative, but in reality it is not.
As Albert Einstein cites it – Failure is an accomplishment in progress. Steadiness and challenging work are the critical resources to make progress. Trust yourself and continue to pursue your enthusiasm. Everything that you do today has an impact on your future. Keep going because everything counts.
Ema shares her thoughts on what she thin...
If someone had told Ema she would run marathons or become a mountaineer 12 years ago, after turning 40, she would have told that person they were nuts.
But when your self esteem gets crushed, and sometimes you don't even feel reason to live - however you have no choice, you can accomplish allot. You can even become the first Portuguese woman to climb and summit Carstensz Pyramid.

With all the lockdowns, that do not work and the continued imposed self-isolation, our mental health is suffering. The fact that the majority of people still have a stigma on mental health is concerning, especially when without our mental health, we have no health. It's a fact and we all know it. We just have to admit it.
In this episode, Ema talks about the raising of her anxiety, in the face of the constant COVID message, that we are in this together, or its for our own good. Stating that she feels like a character in George Orwell's, 1984.

Anxiety is caused by an out of control thought pattern. I am no stranger to anxiety.
Anxiety can settle over our mind like a severe thunderstorm, spewing thunderclouds and casting lightning bolts. Life feels like an airplane in a tailspin. Your chest is tight and breathing can be difficult. Thinking can be difficult. It feeds on what-ifs and worst-case scenarios.
