What if the thing you’ve been trying to “figure out” isn’t one path—but permission to follow more than one?
In this episode, Emily and Angela talk about:
→finally writing and self-publishing the book she had wanted to write since childhood
→what it means to be multi-passionate, professionally plural, and unwilling to choose just one identity
→four major career pivots and what each one taught her about herself
→untangling self-worth from professional achievement
→why perfectionism kept the dream of becoming an author out of reach for so long
→the sting of regret and how Angela now uses it as fuel
→why creating a good life matters more than creating the “perfect” career
→how shame can keep creative people from honoring their eclectic paths
→the role of privilege, timing, infrastructure, and context in whether we can act on a dream right now
→why self-trust doesn’t mean doing everything alone
→learning to let other people contribute to something that began as your idea
This is a conversation about creative freedom, career pivots, regret, self-trust, and giving yourself permission to build a life that is as multifaceted as you are.

Can microdosing become a pathway back to trusting yourself?
In this episode, Emily and Tracey talk about:
→how losing a nearly decade-long business became a major identity threshold
→the grief, spiritual questioning, and uncertainty that opened the door to mushrooms
→Tracey’s first psychedelic experience and why it became a permission slip to keep exploring
→how microdosing helped her feel more connected to what she already knew
→the car accident that deepened her understanding of what the medicine had shifted in her
→why Moms on Mushrooms emerged as a calling she initially resisted
→motherhood as a cycle of death, rebirth, grief, and becoming
→why mothers need education, community, elders, and safer spaces around psychedelic medicine
→why “more is not more” when it comes to microdosing and psychedelic work
→the importance of curiosity, intention, pacing, and knowing your why
→how intuitive microdosing can become a practice of listening to your body and building self-trust
→why Tracey believes mothers have an important role to play in the psychedelic renaissance
This is a conversation about mushrooms, motherhood, grief, intuition, and what can happen when you stop outsourcing your knowing and begin building a deeper relationship with yourself.

You’ve done the work to trust yourself… so why is doubt still showing up?
In this solo episode, Emily explores three distinct flavors of doubt—and why each one needs to be tended to differently.
Emily talks about:
→why building Self-Trust doesn’t mean doubt disappears
→the Doubt of Expansion and why doubt can actually get louder as your life gets bigger
→why entering new arenas brings more visibility, vulnerability, uncertainty, and more at stake
→the Doubt of Depletion and what happens when you’re too under-resourced to hear yourself clearly
→how early motherhood and sleep deprivation challenged Emily’s own relationship with Self-Trust
→why sometimes trusting yourself means recognizing that you can’t hear yourself clearly right now
→when to wait, restore your capacity, or borrow wisdom from people you trust
→the Doubt of the Threshold and why doubt naturally appears between who you’ve been and who you’re becoming
→why you don’t yet have evidence that you can be this new woman—because you’ve never been her before
→how ritual, reverence, support, and witnessing can help us cross life’s biggest thresholds
→how each flavor of doubt maps onto The Self-Trust Compass
→the tangible question to ask when doubt arrives: What kind of doubt is this—and what does it need from me?
Emily also shares more about her own Maiden Voyage before becoming a mother, why she’s increasingly drawn toward supporting women at the thresholds of their lives, and the inspiration behind her MotherMoon retreats.
The goal isn’t to become someone who never doubts herself. It’s to become someone who knows how to stay with herself when doubt arrives.

What happens when the identity you worked so hard to build no longer fits?
In this episode, Emily and Bree talk about:
→the “quantum leap of self-trust” that came with leaving the law
→how small “pebble” decisions built the capacity for one huge leap
→walking away from a career, identity, and law firm she had invested years into
→the difference between confidence and trusting yourself to figure it out
→why irritation and agitation can be important information instead of something to regulate away
→separating your worth from your work
→the grief that can come with making the right decision
→letting go of a professional identity without immediately replacing it with another label
→work wounds and why they follow us if we don’t tend to them
→what it means to ask, “How good can it get?” instead of only focusing on what could go wrong
→starting a podcast, giving a TEDx talk, and continuing to stretch into greater visibility
→the next dream Bree is finally ready to say out loud
This is a conversation about career identity, self-trust, work wounds, and having the courage to listen when the life you built starts whispering that it’s time for something else.

What happens when the thing you’ve been talking about for years suddenly starts showing up everywhere?
In this solo episode, Emily talks about:
→why she believes Self-Trust is entering the zeitgeist
→how her work with Self-Trust evolved into The Self-Trust Model™ and Compass
→why she intentionally avoided other Self-Trust content while building her own framework
→what she’s noticing now as more people begin using the term Self-Trust
→the idea of multiple discovery and why similar ideas can emerge at the same time
→the excitement—and slight territorial tension—of watching your life’s work become a broader conversation
→why more voices teaching Self-Trust can actually deepen the conversation
→how different practitioners may teach Self-Trust through completely different lenses
→the downside of oversimplifying ideas like intuition, anxiety, and keeping promises to yourself
→why nuance, nervous system regulation, parts work, and context still matter
→Emily’s prediction that Self-Trust may eventually become as familiar as self-love or self-compassion
This is a conversation about watching a body of work move beyond you, staying curious about what others are discovering, and why Emily believes this is only the beginning for Self-Trust.
