Empower with Emma

This week on the pod it is my last episode on Season 4 and I alway love to end each season with a solo episode sharing my life updates, where I am at emotionally, mentally and physically in my own journey. I chat about my solo travels and experiences I have been encountering over the 4 weeks from Sri Lanka to Bali and what I am appreciating and learning along the way. The biggest message in this episode is my Triggers and how I have been riding a rollercoaster of challenges since starting my Yoga teacher training as it is bringing a lot up for me. Learning to feel comfortable with the uncomfortable the last few weeks has been a lot but I have discovered a lot about myself through since tips: 1. Notice how you feel 2. Listen to yourself and what you need 3. Take a break 4. Show kindness and care towards you 5. Create boundaries 6. Talk it our or write it down When you open up and connect inward that is what the outward radiates more and you appreciate those glimmers ' moments of bliss and joy' a lot more. Until next season... don't let anyone dull your sparkle. Follow me @Emmakehoe/ @empowerwithemma

This week on the pod I have my final guest who spent 22 years on death row in Prison after been wrongfully convicted of a crime. Nick talks about the horrific times he spent in solitary confinement, sound years with his thoughts, being beaten to near death and suffering head trauma. He also talks about how he learned to cultivate inner strength educating himself on the law and helping other prisoners and taking back his power through challenging the justice system which led to his release. Not only does Nik talk about his powerful life changing experience in Prison for a third of his life, he talk about others challenges he has faces in his personal life but that has not stopped him spreading kindness and love into the world. It truly shows that no matter what experience life can throw at us, we can always be kind to ourselves and others. Nick has several books published talking about his journey and are available to shop on amazon. https://www.amazon.com/Books-Nick-Yarris/s?rh=n%3A283155%2Cp_27%3ANick+Yarris The answer is always No until we ask....

For a 25 year old she has such a good mindset and amazing drive around her work and has got there for this reason.

This week on the pod I have Conor Creighton. He is an author, spiritual teacher, coach and shows people the ‘The power of love’. Conor wasn't always this way and talks about how he was a bar man, had an ego and there comes a point in life when you become more aware of who you are and who you want to be. You want to start refining parts of yourself, opening up to your emotions with the power of vulnerability. Learning to love yourself can be so hard and Conor has had his share of love and loss. He lost his Father last year and talks about grief in a different way, opens up about his childhood and how we can always change who we are. This episode was soul warming for me as seeing from a man's perspective about the other side of the coin how men can feel too. We are all humans just learning to love.

This week on the pod I ave the beautiful Daniella Moyles who is the author of Jump, yoga teacher and co - owner of The Stll. We chat about burnout, the stresses that it had on her life and she thought there was something wrong with her. After visiting the doctor it wasn't the physical pain she needed to deal with but the inner pain that was causing her more. Daniella takes openly about her lifestyle changes and the impact it has had on her life and how she is still learning to slow down and appreciate the little things in life such as a simple moment with her son. I adored this chat with Daniella as I read her book going through a hard mental time myself during lockdown and it gave me a feeling of not being alone, knowing someone else has been through the dark tunnel and does come out into the light in the end. I felt so inspired and hope you do too. Follow Danielle on instagram @daniellamoyles / @thestll Me @Emmakehoe / @empowerwithemma Website - www.empowerwithemma.ie See you next week x

This week on the pod I have Claire Walsh who is free diver in one of the most dangerous sports in the world. Claire talks about suffering with depression in her 20's and not feeling like she was ticking any boxes and wanted to find her own self. That is when she went travelling in her thirties and found the world of breath work and free diving. Claire shares how sea swimming and the ocean has helped her through some of the toughest times in her life, how she gets into the headspace of holding her breath for 5 minutes and 59 seconds and the place she goes to in her mind 'Going under water there is nothing, no chatter , no judgement'. If you can regulate your self, emotions and life in the present moment we have the power to do anything. Diving has given Claire a new lease of life and has thought her how to navigate herself through connecting her mind and body. 'Fear is like a phoenix it burns a thousand times and still they will return.. you have to face your fears'. Claire talks about it in her new book ' Under Water' which is out now.

This week on the pod I am riding solo which I love to do to give you insight into my own personal side. I go into my own inner struggles around my weight , the demons and triggers that can arise and stories from my past and come into my current present. I talk about how I work through these and how hard it can be. I talk about how sometimes I can take hold of them and sometimes your mind can get the better of you , but after all we are all human and are own our own healing journey and that can take a life time. I am still learning not to be too hard on myself as I struggled with being a perfectionist, over achiever, people pleaser for most of my life and didn't under stand why. Know I know it was the fear of not being liked but I had to learn to like myself first. Remember what ever you are going through or what stories you are telling yourself, someone else is feeling that too. I am here to validate this and tell you... you are not alone as we all feel this at some time. Follow me @emmakehoe @empowerwithemma

This week on the Empower with Emma podcast I had the pleasure to talk to Gerry Hussey who is Ireland’s Leading Health and Performance coach who has connected and helped so many souls through his powerful work, talks and recent book 'Awaken your power within''. Gerry takes about his break through moment how his life took a complete turning point from wanting not to be here anymore and suffering with severe anxiety and depression as a teenager and being in hospital and the doctors telling him it was all in his own head, he decided to take charge of how he showed up for himself. That is when Gerry started to research and regulate his own self and thoughts and realise how much power he had. He started to go inward and explore the science behind the mind and how it is proven that what we fuel our own thoughts is how we show up in the world and that we have the control to awaken our own power within.

On episode 1 of season 3 - Empower with Emma I give you a life update on the last few months and what I have gotten up to, what I have learnt, what I have let go of and of course what I am discovering along the way. From a wellness retreat , starting up my own mindfulness hikes and finally believing in myself that I can do anything I set my mind too. I open up about the mental block ad negative headspace I was in at the start of the year. I didn’t know what was going on inside me until I paused, became truly self-aware and discovered not only was it a spiritual awakening but I was truly letting go and healing into the new version of myself which is called ‘The dark night of the soul’.
