I wanted to share a little update with you about my wardrobe cleanse and how it made me break-up with Free People (you can read about that heartbreak here) as well as an excellent article I read from The Times on the trend of taking breaks from dating called Boy Sober.

What is the impact of narcissistic abuse? And can you ever recover? Dr Ramani Durvasual is arguably the world's leading expert on narcissism and her books and YouTube channel are testament to her breadth of knowledge on the topic. However, while defining, describing and identifying narcissism has become a widespread pastime, how actually to recover from the effects of narcissistic abuse is much less talked about - until now.Dr Ramani's latest book It's Not You: How to Identify and Heal from Narcissistic People delves into how to put yourself back together, how to be wise to and avoid gaslighting and how to navigate the world without being sucked into narcissist's gravitational pull.On her first visit to the podcast, Dr Ramani helped me realised my role as an enabler and in this conversation we discuss how to build the emotional toolkit required to navigate a world with difficult people.To join the Facebook group for the podcast click here >> The Emma Guns Show Forum.To follow me on social media >>

Who knew a wardrobe clear-out, which was more about not contributing to the cycle of fast, disposable fashion would also cause a bit of a 'rethink' about how I want to present myself in the world.Well, turns out that selling on Vinted has opened my eyes to a few things about my wardrobe that had nothing to do with clothes and/or fashion.To join the Facebook group for the podcast click here >> The Emma Guns Show Forum.To follow me on social media >> Twitter | Instagram.Watch clips from the podcast >> Youtube | The Emma Guns ShowSign up for my newsletter here >> Newsletter.Subscribe now.

You always have a good time with Amanda Lamb. That's been my experience since knowing her; she always leaves me laughing, is the first to give you a sideways look about an in-joke and is makes you feel amazing for having spent time in her company. So how wonderful to have committed her genuine friendship and authenticity to audio in this conversation where we discuss how she felt invisible in her 40s and is now loving her 50s, being numbed by anti-anxiety medication and the dreams and aspirations she still wants to achieve.To join the Facebook group for the podcast click here >> The Emma Guns Show Forum.To follow me on social media >> Twitter | Instagram.Watch clips from the podcast >> Youtube | The Emma Guns ShowSign up for my newsletter here >> Newsletter.Subscribe now.

In this episode I bring you a rant about self-help and what I think has been a huge change to the way we look for support and advice.

I adored this conversation with Katy Hill. You may recognise her face, and voice, from her time on iconic children's entertainment show Blue Peter but Katy is now a personal development and empowerment coach and established LIMITLESS by Katy Hill in 2018.Suffice it to say, if you are in need of a boost, this is the conversation to listen to. We cover everything from knowing what your dreams are, being comfortable with what your version of success looks like and how to plot a path towards your best life.To join the Facebook group for the podcast click here >> The Emma Guns Show Forum.To follow me on social media >> Twitter | Instagram.Watch clips from the podcast >> Youtube | The Emma Guns ShowSign up for my newsletter here >> Newsletter.Subscribe now.

January seemed to go on forever and it might be why so many of us are feeling depleted, tired and burnt out before the first month was over, but in this episode I share what I think might be a useful way to re-frame how you look at productivity and avoid burnout and exhaustion altogether.To join the Facebook group for the podcast click here >> The Emma Guns Show Forum.To follow me on social media >> Twitter | Instagram.Watch clips from the podcast >> Youtube | The Emma Guns ShowSign up for my newsletter here >> Newsletter.Subscribe now.

Stacey Duguid has my heart after this conversation. We have many mutual friends but this was our first proper chat and, as you'll hear, it's exactly that - a searingly honest get-to-you-know-you conversation that just so happened to be committed to audio. I love an open guest who isn't afraid to tell it how it is and that's exactly what Stacey is.From navigating infidelity, divorce, unhappy relationships, mental and emotional breakdowns, going back to bed, losing friends on the way, the discomfort of mid-life and what it really means to be neurodivergent in the world... This is a wide-ranging conversation and I sincerely hope you love it!To join the Facebook group for the podcast click here >> The Emma Guns Show Forum.To follow me on social media >> Twitter | Instagram.Watch clips from the podcast >> Youtube | The Emma Guns ShowSign up for my newsletter here >> Newsletter.Subscribe now.

Don't hang up! You don't have to but what if she just spent a little time looking at our spending habits and how we could spend our money a little more wisely? I say this as someone who loves the dopamine high of a next day delivery or splurge when I'm out at the shops but who is realising more and more, how unnecessary it all is...To join the Facebook group for the podcast click here >> The Emma Guns Show Forum.To follow me on social media >> Twitter | Instagram.Watch clips from the podcast >> Youtube | The Emma Guns ShowSign up for my newsletter here >> Newsletter.Subscribe now.

Kierra Campbell blew me away with her honesty in this episode. She really is what dream guests are made of; honest, willing to go to uncomfortable, sometimes difficult places, but always keen to make sure listeners have a great time and hopefully come away with something useful for their time spent with us.Kierra is one half of interior design duo Poodle & Blonde and we meet her when she's poised to make some serious changes in her life and though it's a lot of change at once, she's seeing it as a sign that she's ready for growth and new adventures. It's a refreshing and reassuring attitude and one I intend to emulate next time I feel overwhelmed.During our time together Kierra shared her life lessons learned from a difficult, unstable childhood, navigating the business world as an young, black female entrepreneur and how her business and business partner taught her how to trust...To join the closed Facebook group for the podcast click here >> The Emma Guns Show Forum.To follow me on social media >&g

Talking about weight loss and body image is controversial in a way that for me, as someone who grew up in the 80s and 90s, is hard to comprehend. But as someone who has battled their weight for most of their life and now finds themselves having overcome that struggle, I wanted to talk about it. Apparently, that makes me fatphobic.

I had so much fun chatting with Joanna Jensen. Not only is she the founder of one of the most successful brands of recent years, Child's Farm, she's also an open book and, as you can hear in this conversation, will to talk about anything. Whether it's the ethics behind a sustainable brand, generational shifts in work ethic or how to consume mindfully, she has a well-formed opinion on everything.To join the Facebook group for the podcast click here >> The Emma Guns Show Forum.To follow me on social media >> Twitter | Instagram.Watch clips from the podcast >> Youtube | The Emma Guns ShowSign up for my newsletter here >> Newsletter.Subscribe now.

Conversations about weight, size and shape have never been more loaded or volatile, which is why I am so pleased to have had Laura Adlington on the podcast. This felt like a really important conversation about the complex issues about weight, body shape, size and everything that goes hand-in-hand with complex and toxic relationships with and around food. Whether it's addiction, eating disorder or mental illness, it's something that can be all-consuming and life-limiting. Laura has interrogated her relationship with her own body and food issues in her book Diet Starts Monday, but also takes a closer look at the ways in which diet culture and anti-fat bias seep into our consciousness and make us feel less than.To join the Facebook group for the podcast click here >> The Emma Guns Show Forum.To follow me on social media >> Twitter | Instagram.Watch clips from the podcast >> Youtube | The Emma Guns ShowSign up for my newsletter here >> Newsletter.Subscribe now.

It's 1st January, which means you're probably being bombarded with lots of 'new year, new you' messaging and potentially feeling as though there's something about yourself you need to change or improve upon. Well, I reject this idea. Instead of searching for flaws, let's celebrate all the things we know to be true having lived our lives and made mistakes.To join the Facebook group for the podcast click here >> The Emma Guns Show Forum.To follow me on social media >> Twitter | Instagram.Watch clips from the podcast >> Youtube | The Emma Guns ShowSign up for my newsletter here >> Newsletter.Subscribe now.

Joe Nucci has gone viral for his straight-talking posts about mental health and trauma. While it's no bad thing that we've become more comfortable talking about mental health and that struggling with mental health issues is now far less taboo than it was a decade ago, there are elements of the conversation that are unhelpful. Being defined by your mental health doesn't afford you the ability to make changes, progress and move beyond a diagnosis and it's this which Joe is challenging.When I saw his posts, I knew he had to be welcomed onto the show to expand on his position and explain how he positively sees the conversation changing and moving forward.To join the Facebook group for the podcast click here >> The Emma Guns Show Forum.To follow me on social media >> Twitter | Instagram.Watch clips from the podcast >> Youtube | The Emma Guns ShowSign up for my newsletter here >> Newsletter.Subscribe now.
