Room to Grow Podcast with Emily GoughRegret is Shame Disguised As MaturityThe feeling of regret can weigh us down for life. People often spend a lifetime wishing they could turn back time and make a different decision about something in the past. But I came across a quote recently about regret and it hit me like a freight train: “When we are living authentically, there is no regret. Regret is just shame disguised as maturity. Don’t apologize for lessons learned or look down on past behaviours. Of course you don’t do the same things anymore. You’re evolving. You were exactly who you were supposed t...2022-06-0911 min
Room to Grow Podcast with Emily GoughBeing Open to Receiving What Life is Offering YouBecause “I’ve got this” doesn’t leave room for allowing anyone else to show up for you. We have a culture of minimizing our needs to preserve our vulnerability and try to prevent rejection. I played that game for many years, trying to make sure I needed less and less from others. Becoming more and more independent, until I realized I was pushing people away to make sure I minimized the risks of getting hurt or disappointed. Sometimes it can be a balancing act for us to figure out how to find t...2022-06-0221 minRoom to Grow Podcast with Emily GoughKey Things to Pay Attention To When Dating or Getting Into a RelationshipPull up a seat, because there are some things we need to discuss. And this could completely alter your entire dating experience for the better. We're talking about the key things to observe when you're getting to know someone. These aren't tests we're running people through, that's not at all the vibe we're going for. It's simply picking up on and noticing certain details that may have escaped you before, details that can be incredibly telling about how the other person operates, the way they show up in the world and treat others, and how...2022-05-1042 min

Because all it takes is one word, the recognition from one person to ignite a complete course correct for someone to create new direction that will have such a powerful ripple effect, you can never even hope to understand the full scope.

They can be helpful in some instances. Occasionally these types of labels will help us to feel less isolated and alone, perhaps give us the understanding that we're not the only weird one out there (let's be honest, we're all weird and life is so much more interesting that way ;) ) However, I would argue that identifying too strongly with any particular label has the potential to do more harm than good. Conversely...2022-04-2225 min

And part of curiosity isn't only about the asking of questions - it's about the listening and being open to receive what the other person is willing to share with you. All of these factors combine to allow space for a stronger bond to be developed, and it's always such a gift when someone feels safe enough with us to share parts of themselves they usually keep hidden away. Diving into all of this and more t...2022-04-1616 min

Because You'll Never Really Regret It.A quickie episode for you today all about softening - because you’ll never really look back and think about how you wish you had slammed the door harder, shouted more loudly, or had more of a meltdown. Soften because you’ll usually be far more proud of a kind word than a cruel one. And I'm sharing a very personal example of one way I choose to soften, even with people who have hurt me, and to show up with the intention of leaving people even one degree better than you found them.

And sometimes, we can feel as though certain emotions make us feel weak. Or, we've been stuck in the mode of "the strong one" for so long, we've lost sight of the idea that emotional strength can show up in so many different forms. Overall some of the most common ideas of emotional strength may look or sound like: Strength as “tough upper lip” Grin and bear it Laugh it off We may see someone swallow their pain without even feel...2022-03-1728 min
Room to Grow Podcast with Emily GoughRe-thinking Boundaries & Becoming an Energetic Match for Your DesiresNot everyone deserves a place in your heart. But one thing I know for sure is that closing ourselves off isn’t the answer either. Boundaries can become fortresses. Then we wonder why no one can ever break through. Like anything else, there is so much nuance to this. It’s not always about setting every boundary under the sun with each individual person in your life. It’s about showing up as the person you want to be, and watching the magic that unfolds as a direct...2022-02-2221 min

It's when you're facing the unknowns and your destination, or at the very least the path to get there, leaves you with far more questions than answers. The moments when you're so ready to close the old chapter but the new isn't quite ready, testing your patience. And yet, there is so much growth to be found in this space.

But that starts with actually *liking* yourself first, and doing this work can feel lonely at times. As humans, one of the biggest battles we all face is one with loneliness. It's one of the things that keeps us in mediocre relationships far past their expiry date, because being in the company of another seems in theory to be better than being alone. But relationships with others are not the cure to loneliness. That's something each of us has to...2022-02-0825 min

That dynamic that draws you in, makes you think everything is going to be ok and you start to hang onto every word they say. Then you start to sense them pulling away. They don’t show up for you when they said they were going to. They said they were going to do something, or that they feel a particular way for you and then don’t show up with the actions to match, and you quickly start to distrust the connection. 2021-09-1622 min

Room to Grow Podcast with Emily Gough[BIZ TIPS] Have the Presence to Fill the Room & Know Your WorthI'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 tell you to be BOLD. To speak up. Be seen. Take up space. Use your voi...2020-03-0519 min
Room to Grow Podcast with Emily GoughCreating Balance in Your Life & the Joy of Missing OutEvery 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' eye view rather than expecting every minute of our lives to be perfectly balanced. And sometimes the biggest sou...2020-03-0324 min

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 insult to the value that person brings to the table. When you make someone an offer like this, you're...2020-02-2729 min

Room to Grow Podcast with Emily GoughWhat Does "Doing the Work" Even Mean?This phrase floats around a lot in the personal growth / mindset / mental health world about "doing the work."

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 other more deeply felt emotions such as fear, sadness, grief, embarrassment or disappointment.
