Why I Intentionally Spent My Birthday Alone & Taking Your Power Back

Room to Grow Podcast with Emily Gough

11/23/21 • 26 min

5.0

First up: Join Becoming YOU, the brand new 4-week small group coaching program I'm launching all about reminding yourself exactly who the f*ck you are.

For more details, click here. We kick off Tuesday, November 30th @ 7pm EST. Only 10 spots available, there are still a few left!

And you're going to want to join my email list because there's a LOT happening in 2022 and if we're email friends, you'll be the first to have the details pop into your inbox!

I turned 35 on the weekend, and I decided many months ago I wanted to very intentionally spend my birthday entirely on my own and to do something special for myself to make it totally different.

Multiple people in my life wanted to make plans and I refused all of them (I love you all! 😘)

Instead, I booked a long weekend in downtown Toronto, took myself out for some incredible solo meals, had a massage, got in a couple workouts (I never miss my birthday workout), got in a couple of naps, walked a LOT, checked out some cool sights, and even got myself an adorable slice of birthday cake from an amazing bakery.

The point of this is not to preach self-care at you.

I am, however, encouraging you to take your power back.

Stop waiting for other people to make something happen for you. And stop expecting others to treat you better than you treat yourself.

Start showing yourself the kind of love you give to everyone else.

We're diving into the details of all of this, along with how you can take your power back and show up for yourself in whole new ways.

Not All Men, But Almost Always with Traver Boehm of Man UNcivilized [Relationships, Mental Health & Systemic Culture of Violence]

Room to Grow Podcast with Emily Gough

04/06/21 • 83 min

5.0

Out of over 260+ episodes here on the Room to Grow Podcast, this conversation is hands-down one of my favourites to date.

We're speaking with Traver Boehm, an author of two books, 2 time TEDx Speaker, men’s coach and founder of the UNcivilized Men’s Movement, which is radically redefining the way men around the globe experience their masculinity by uniquely blending both primal elements of manhood with massive doses of consciousness.

With a background in professional bodyguarding, Mixed Martial Arts, Traditional Chinese Medicine and meditation, Traver also teaches people to skillfully use the inevitable pain of their lives as fuel for growth and positive change.

One of the MANY reasons we’re planning a part two is that we didn’t even have enough time to get into a huge portion of his journey. After losing a pregnancy, his marriage and his business partnership all within weeks of each other, he created and embarked upon a social experiment to spend the next 12 months as though they were his last to live.

This conversation is raw, real and unfiltered.

Today, we’re talking about:

-How men show up in relationships and the biggest reason why women end relationships (outside of abuse) and how men can cultivate a superpower to make the feminine feel safe in unexpected ways

-The powerful message Traver has for men everywhere and how he’s looking to change the entire culture and spread his message, along with addressing where men need to take responsibility for their own emotional health

-Men’s mental health, and the mountain of male trauma that often goes unaddressed as males have so much less social support than women and a suicide rate that is 3X higher

-Traver’s take on one of the biggest reasons why he believes mass shootings end up happening and what to do about it.

-What we can learn from our pain

Traver's fire and passion for what he does is so evident, and this episode is an absolute must-listen for anyone and everyone.

Most importantly, please share! More people need to hear this powerful message.

Coming Back to Yourself & Creating Conscious Relationships with Leila Dylla

Room to Grow Podcast with Emily Gough

01/07/22 • 71 min

"Who we are is eternal. Everything else is temporary."

-Leila Dylla

The incredible Leila Dylla is joining us today, and this was a beautiful treat.

She has such a wide and varied story and background, and brings with her an incredibly holistic approach to how she shows up.

Leila is inspiring the heart of change around the world through her writing, speaking, and passionate teaching. As a leader in the modern day spiritual and wellness world, she has been teaching Yoga Asana for over a decade, and is deeply inspired by the path of Bhakti Yoga, energy medicine, transcendental psychology & breath work.

She spent the last 8 years sharing her insights leading group retreats, and Yoga Teacher Trainings. Leila now specializes in trauma informed life coaching, as she guides women back to their Feminine embodiment, Truth, and authentic personal power.

Leila’s background in kinesiology, nutrition, rehabilitative movement, and energy medicine, gives her rare insight into the body and the health challenges faced by women navigating our current culture.

Her deepest passion lies in unraveling and empowering the divine feminine force of the world, and awakening the individual hearts of her clients.

She is an intuitive, self-proclaimed comedian (I can fully attest to her hilarity) and light hearted enthusiast of sacred living. Leila and her dog Folly are usually found in the sunshine, with a cup of coffee in hand.

This conversation with Leila was nothing short of magical. It may have taken us a few months to make it happen, but it was well worth the wait!

We're going into:

Radical self approval
Learning how to move through emotions without having them swallow us
Developing a flexible nervous system - especially when it comes to matters of the heart.
How conscious relationships can be a source of deep healing
The idea of receiving - for both men and women
Living a full, technicolour life and everything that involves.

And so much more than could ever be listed in a few bullet points, truly.

I'm pretty sure if Leila was a colour, she would be a panoply of every colour of the rainbow, and it comes through in every moment of this discussion.

Take a listen, and be sure to connect with Leila below!

Cultivating a Deep Sense of Self Worth

Room to Grow Podcast with Emily Gough

04/22/21 • 33 min

5.0

“The universe will remove anything you put your self worth in, to remind you it doesn’t live there.”

-Mark Groves

Your value and your worth is INNATE. You don’t have to earn it, fix something about yourself that you may have believed in the past was broken, you don’t need someone else to love you before your worth shows up. You are worthy. Period. Full stop.

Todays we're talking all about;

The deep work of cultivating your sense of self worth
How to detach our self worth from our jobs, our income, or our partners
Why showing up for yourself consistently is so important when doing this growth work
And so much more!

A Conversation About Abusive Relationships: Shame, Victim Blaming & Shattering Myths / Stereotypes

Room to Grow Podcast with Emily Gough

07/06/21 • 34 min

5.0

If you’ve been listening for a while you know I talk about some pretty “uncomfortable” things around here. Well today is no exception, in fact it may be the most uncomfortable episode I have ever recorded. Today is a conversation about abusive relationships, and I want to be clear that this episode does not have the answers, it is about opening the door to a highly uncomfortable, stigmatized, and difficult topic, and offering some perspectives you may not have previously considered.

I’ll be sharing;

Some very startling and stark facts, research, and statistics around reported abuse globally in a variety of different demographics
The Definition of trauma bonding and what could make it a huge factor in why someone stays in an abusive relationship
Falsehoods, stereotypes, misconceptions and a lack of empathy I’ve heard around this topic over the years all while speaking about why we need to shatter these and speak up and out about abuse in relationships.
And more...

Are you ready? Let’s go

Age Gap Relationships & Compatibility with Dr. Jade Teta

Room to Grow Podcast with Emily Gough

11/30/21 • 61 min

My bestie Dr. Jade Teta is back for our ongoing series around relationships, and today's is about a growing trend: relationships where the partners are 10 - 20 years or more apart.

Age gap relationships are often surrounded by stigma, and people involved in a relationship where one is much older than the other are often more susceptible to the opinions and judgments of someone else.

There are a lot of other factors to be taken into account when starting a relationship as well, including differences between life experiences, maturity, specific goals in life, and overall lifestyle.

Jade and I are drawing from our personal experiences in this realm along with the scientific research about how to handle age gap relationships and the pros and cons of going this route and some of the considerations to think about. And ultimately, both parties will need to examine their own levels of confidence, self-consciousness, comfort, and most of all: preparation to deal with potential issues of compatibility.

An Excerpt From My Journal: The Vulnerability & Fullness of Gratitude

Room to Grow Podcast with Emily Gough

11/25/21 • 21 min

5.0

First up: Join Becoming YOU, the brand new 4-week small group coaching program I'm launching all about reminding yourself exactly who the f*ck you are.

For more details, click here. We kick off Tuesday, November 30th @ 7pm EST. Only 10 spots available, there are still a few left!

And you're going to want to join my email list because there's a LOT happening in 2022 and if we're email friends, you'll be the first to have the details pop into your inbox!

WHEW....this episode feels like I bared a little piece of my soul to you.

I have a physical journal, but sometimes if it's not around or if I can feel words flowing out of me so fast I don't know what to do with them all, I'll quickly jot them down in my phone instead.

I was searching through my notes app looking for something when I came across an entry I wrote back in May, and when I re-read it, intuition told me that someone else needed to hear it.

This is a conversation about the fullness of life. The pleasure, the pain and everything in between. The intimate power of human connection and how it transforms us to our very core.

It's about learning to lean into every corner of life and allowing yourself to grow through it all.

It's about love, in every sense of the word.

This is the most emotional episode I've ever released. I hope a snippet of my inner world helps you to transform your own.

Slowly, Slowly, Slowly, Suddenly: Setting Intentions for a New Year

Room to Grow Podcast with Emily Gough

01/04/22 • 39 min

I've never been about the “new year, new you” bullshit.

What I AM about is taking inspired action towards the person you continue to become, peeling back the layers to remember who you’ve always been, and continuing to move forward with hope in your heart.

We're talking today about the collective exhaustion of the past year (or two) and focusing on setting intentions moving into the new year that are more about how you’re going to show up overall consistently -while still leaving room for the messy parts of yourself to make an appearance.

Intention is about how you want to feel, what you want to embody, how you want to show up for yourself and others.

And when we can focus on that part, you'll be open and ready to receive the beautiful things coming your way.

Confident Detachment & Radical Honesty in Relationships with Dr. Jade Teta

Room to Grow Podcast with Emily Gough

10/01/21 • 65 min

He's back! Dr. Jade Teta is a close friend and a listener favourite on the podcast, and we're diving into a series around romantic relationships.

Today's topic is confident detachment, which is the concept of showing up exactly as you are in relationships and letting the chips fall without trying to control the situation. It can feel incredibly vulnerable, but allows you to relax into being yourself, and is the ideal vetting system for which relationships will be the best fit in your life, and which may not.

We're also talking about:

Why confident detachment (or being "confidently relaxed") is one of the the most powerful & empowering tools you can have in your relational toolbox
What it is and how to implement it with real life examples
Exploring a little bit how attachment theory impacts relationships

Dr. Jade is an integrative physician, author and sought after expert in the realm of metabolism and self-development. He spent the last 25 years immersed in the study of strength and conditioning, hormonal metabolism and the psychology of change and success. He is the founder and creator of the international health and fitness company, Metabolic Effect, and the author of several books including the best sellers, Metabolic Effect Diet and Metabolic Aftershock. He has also contributed both, the exercise and sports nutrition chapters, to The Textbook Of Natural Medicine.

His newest company, Next Level Human, combines his medical and fitness knowledge with his expertise in self-development and mindset change.
