Conscious Butterflies

honestly, the title says it all.

Hey beautiful butterflies. Today’s episode is your gentle reminder that you’re actually better at your job (and life) than you think you are. We’re talking about imposter feelings, self-doubt, and all those little lies your brain tells you when you forget how capable you really are. ✨ Key Talking Points 1. Do you question yourself often? Good. That means you care. It means you want to grow, and p...

Start your day with peace and thankfulness. A morning prayer narrated by host Emily Dugan.

Guys—it’s finally here! My full talk from Camp Social 🏕️ Three years ago, I promised myself I’d take a solo travel trip every year. It started in Costa Rica, Santa Barbara, and this year’s adventure led me straight to the Poconos for the ultimate Parent Trap–themed summer girls camp: Camp Social . Think: new friends from across the country (and the world 🌎), reliving that childhood camp magic, la...

So, you’re not 6 anymore. But tell that to the version of you who still wants to slam a door, yell a little too loud, or hit someone with the silent treatment when you're pissed. In this episode, I’m talking about anger—mine, yours, the kind we were never taught how to deal with. Because I still feel it. I still let it build up sometimes. I still want people to know how mad I am. And sometimes… I...

Most of us weren’t taught the difference between love and codependency. We were taught to pour ourselves out, keep the peace, and call it connection. But what if the “ride or die” version of love you learned is really just self-abandonment in disguise? In this episode Emily discusses 4 signs that show you’re struggling with codependency —even if you think you’re just being loyal, supportive, or a...

2025 isn’t the year for surface-level resolutions or pretending we’ve got it all figured out. It’s about looking in the mirror and asking, “What do I really want? Who am I when no one’s watching?” This year, I’m choosing to lay the foundation for a life that feels good, not just looks good. I want that for you too—a life where you stop running from responsibility, align with your values, and take...

Helpless. Overwhelmed. Not feeling accomplished enough? We've all experienced it. We all struggle with it, and the holidays and winter time (especially in Ohio) seem to bring it out of us even more. We tend to focus on all the things we didn't accomplish, instead of finding evidence in being exactly where we are suppose to be. But something that eliminates all of those icky feelings in in instant?...

Hi Conscious Butterfly! Let’s get real for a second. How many times have you felt like you’re just existing —showing up for everyone else, but completely ignoring that deeper part of you that dreams, that envisions a bigger, more vibrant life? I know what that feels like because I’ve been there. Caught up in the hustle of family, work, and life, we push those dreams aside, thinking they’re unreali...

This mini episode is all about accepting what you’re not and amplifying everything you are . Own your space and start attracting opportunities that actually fit the life you're stepping into. You don’t need to have it all figured out... but it is your job and your job only to start thinking, moving, dressing, and showing up as that next-level version of yourself. The rest? It’ll fall into place. L...

I recorded this episode a few days before I left for Costa Rica. When we do new things, especially like going on a solo trip to the jungle to meet strangers, we hold ourselves back. Sometimes our excitement and fear can have the same reaction in your body, but our fear is rooted deep in our conditioning to work hard for rewards. We get taught that "soul experiences" or "vacations" are experiences...

If you want a new life, you have to be committed t...

If we did the things we truly wanted to do, we would continue to elevate our lives and our perspectives. But instead, we fall into the trap of "just enough". We let go of the idea of having a job that inspires us, a relationship that brings out the best in us, a bank account that says drop the 9-5 and take that trip to Greece (whenever the hell you want to). We are 1000% in control of eliminating...
