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 to be...

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...

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...

2022-04-2412 minRoom to Grow Podcast with Emily GoughLose the Labels That Keep You Small & Expand Into Real FreedomThere are more "labels" than ever floating around out there, especially in the area of anything that could be classified under self-help and personal development. 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...

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...

Soften because you'll usually be far more proud of a kind word than a cruel one.

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.

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 and specific...

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. These are the sacred...

What I AM about is taking inspired action towards the person you continue to become, peeling back the layers to remember who you've always been, and continuing to move forward with hope in your heart. We're talking today about the collective exhaustion of the past year (or two) and focusing on setting intentions moving into the new year that are more about how you're going to show up overall consistently -while still leaving room for the messy parts of yourself to make an appearance.

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...

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...

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 asking...

To forgive, divine." -Alexander Pope When I posed some upcoming episode ideas on Instagram stories, forgiveness was one of the ones that drew the most attention. And I can understand why, because it's an incredibly complicated and complex issue for so many of us. Not only that, but it takes a great deal of strength to forgive someone who isn't sorry and to accept an apology you're never going to get. Harder still is forgiving yourself for the things you did when you didn't know any differently.
