46. 5 Births and the Self-Trust That Built My Life and Business
Wed Feb 04 2026
Just days after giving birth to baby number five, Emily is doing something she's never done before — recording an episode with no outline, no notes, and no plan. This is her raw, unfiltered birth story and the deeper lessons that came with it. She shares what it's been like to have five babies in London over the course of a decade, the moment a midwife changed everything by telling her to trust her body, and how that self-trust has rippled into every area of her life and business.
This conversation is for anyone who's ever felt held back by fear, whether that's fear around birth, starting a business, or making a big life decision. Emily reflects on what it means to push past fear, listen to your body, and unlock new layers of possibility you didn't know existed. If you're craving permission to trust yourself more deeply, this episode will meet you there.
