Room to Grow Podcast with Emily Gough

FIRST UP: I'll be going live on Instagram & Facebook every single day at 8am ET until this is over, whenever that may be. Each day will have a different theme, and overall the idea is to create more connection in a time we desperately need it more than ever as we are physically isolated. Please join me - and so far we've been managing to have some laughs, too.   We are in unprecedented times.  Non...

I'm going to let you in on a little secret ingredient that will have people sit up, pay attention, and notice you, your voice and your message. It's PRESENCE. Be the person that others can FEEL when you walk into a room, whether a virtual room or a physical one.  Too often, we allow perfectionism to get in the way.  We shrink, rather than take up space.  We worry about being "too much. I'm here to...

Every once in a while I hear talk around whether or not the concept of balance even exists, and many say that it doesn't.  I disagree. I believe that there's balance in everything, but that sometimes we expect there to be balance every single day, and that makes things much more difficult.  To me, balance exists when you take a look at the wider scope of your every day life and take more a birds'...

I recently saw yet another post in a Facebook group of someone asking for biz and legal advice and offering to take whoever was willing to help out for coffee or green juice.  Please stop this. It's not a good way to business.  When you ask people to coffee to pick their brain without offering anything other than the $3 it will cost for their coffee, it's not a particularly nice offer. It's an ins...

When we hear that someone is dating or married, one of the first questions we usually ask is, "how long have you been together?" I LOVED it when people would ask me that when I was in a relationship with my previous partner.  I was validated by their reaction when I could tell them how many years we had been together.  Although we now know that relationship turned out not to be quite as solid as I...

This phrase floats around a lot in the personal growth / mindset / mental health world about "doing the work." But it's an incredibly abstract concept, and I've found myself have moments of wondering what the hell it even means.  What's involved? What do I have to do?  I'm prepared to "do the work" but someone tell me where to start! It's weird. So I want to break this down a little bit more for y...

It's the age-old question in this fast-moving world: how to get more done? This episode is more about maximizing the time that you do have to leave room for space to do the things you love most , to spend time with the people you adore and to use your energy in the best possible ways. Because that to-do list isn't what your entire day should consist of all the time, and *especially* if you're a bu...

Here's what I want you to know before we get into anything else: there are no 'bad" or negative emotions.  Any emotion that you can experience is normal, human, and completely OK.   Anger is one of those emotions we can tend to believe should be avoided at all costs, and that's one of the myths that we're going to get into on this episode.  Something else to know is that anger is often masking oth...

"But what if I run out of things to say?" It's one of the most common questions I'm asked, particularly when it comes to even thinking about launching a podcast.   I get it, because it feels totally overwhelming.  There's so much to do, and even though you know you have a lot to say, there's always that nagging concern that one day the ideas will simply....stop.   So let's break this down into 6 w...

Since moving to Bali last July and living here for the better part of the past 8 months, I've gotten a lot of questions around what it's like to like out of a suitcase and how it all works.   Today I'm giving you an inside peek at the good, the bad and the ugly...because I can assure you, it's not all coconuts and sunsets!  We're talking:  The pros and cons of solo travel  (more pros than cons in...

I've been wanting to have someone on the podcast for many months to talk about money in a really deep way to dig up a lot of the stories we hold around our finances and how it can impact our relationships. When I came Selina, I knew I'd found the right person.  It took several more months for us to coordinate our schedules, but it was 100% worth the wait, I promise you! Selina Gray is a CPA, CA &...

We're shaking things up a little bit on the podcast today! I put out the call on my Instagram stories last week accepting applications for a 24 hour period to have a free 45 minute coaching call with me about podcasting, on the condition that it be recorded and used as a podcast episode so that other people could benefit from hearing it.  I got so many amazing applications that when I got it down...

We're living in one of the most polarizing moments of human history.  Everyone has access to more information than ever, everyone has an opinion, and many of us are actually less likely to have our minds changed even when presented with new information on various topics than ever before. Being dead-set in our beliefs without the willingness to explore other options, opinions and educating ourselve...

First brand new episode of 2020 after taking a few weeks off while airing best-of episodes from 2019, and I'm pumped! Today is a bit of a bonus episode, because I'm announcing some changes coming to the podcast and wanted to fill you in the details around why I'm making some shifts, give you a behind-the-scenes look at what's been happening over here from a business and marketing standpoint, and e...

BY POPULAR REQUEST:  I'm breaking apart a topic that I've been asked about by so many people in recent months and how I seem to make friends fairly rapidly and seemingly everywhere I go in my global travels.  I've even surprised myself at times, because I fully identify as being not only an introvert (which is not synonymous with shy, by the way), but I'm the first one to say that I'm usually the...

After finding out that there had been a long-term affair going on with my partner and another woman for the 9 years he and I were together , I wanted to make sure I was doing everything I could to help heal. We can be good at helping other people change their mindsets, but not so great at it when it comes to ourselves especially after a significant traumatic experience, and I knew I was going to n...

**If you haven't yet listened to episode #117 - The 9 Year Affair: Lessons in Infidelity , I strongly recommend checking it out first as a prerequisite for this episode** After uncovering the infidelity that had been going on in my previous long-term relationship for 9 years and realizing the degree to which I had been tracked online by one of the involved parties, I began to re-evaluate my entire...

One of the questions I'm asked about the most is how I book awesome guests, and what to do when it comes to the interviewing process.   It can seem super intimidating, especially if you're new to doing this sort of thing, and I'm giving you all the tools that will help you get started with the process AND have your guest feeling super comfortable and excited to work with you.  At the end of the da...

Let's be real: many of us struggle with boundaries , and sometimes we aren't even sure where to draw the line, when a boundary has been crossed, or how to communicate our boundaries to others.   Boundaries are a set of basic rules or guidelines that we set for ourselves to determine the types of behaviour we will tolerate , and those boundaries impact the health of our relationships with others, a...

Right now, it feels like *everyone* is starting a podcast.  And yet, while podcasting is a rapidly growing field, there is a ton of room for new podcasts.   As a comparison, at time of publishing there are around 750,000 podcasts worldwide, compared to over 50 MILLION YouTube channels and more than 440 million blogs.  So to say that podcasting has some catching up to do is putting it mildly.   Tod...
