  • A Dysregulated Nervous System Makes You Dumber - Here’s How to Fix It 30.03.2026 25min
    In this episode, Emily breaks down the neuroscience of nervous system dysregulation and why a stressed, overwhelmed brain literally reduces intelligence in real time. She explains what happens when the amygdala becomes overactive and prefrontal cortex activity drops, which leads to poor focus, impulsive decisions, worse memory, and an inability to show up as the best version of yourself. Emily covers the difference between reacting and responding, and why every reaction is just an old automated program running from a past version of you. She also explains why stress distorts perception, why your brain scans for threats when you are dysregulated, and how that makes it nearly impossible to create a new future from that state. She then shares a set of practical tools to regulate the nervous system, including slowing down and stopping the habit of constant rushing, saying no to protect your energy, humming to tone the vagus nerve, practicing presence before you need it, and doing things purely for the joy of it with no outcome attached.
  • How To Get Anything Done With an ADHD Brain 23.03.2026 27min
    In this episode of Planet Em, Emily breaks down how to get anything done using the neuroscience of the ADHD brain. She shares how she wrote an entire book while managing ADHD, working for seven hours straight without medication, and the exact systems she used to make that possible. Emily explains a concept called effort discounting, which is what happens when the brain perceives the effort of a task as greater than the reward at the end. She walks through three practical ways to overcome it. The first is making the hill smaller by lowering the barrier to entry and starting with just ten minutes. The second is making the task more fun by adding body doubling, aesthetic setups, music, or anything that creates a more enjoyable environment. The third is making the reward at the top bigger and more compelling so the brain has a reason to climb. She also covers why focus is not just a productivity skill but a nervous system state, why dopamine does not arrive before you start, and how to stack these three strategies together to stop avoiding the thing that keeps getting pushed to tomorrow.

  • Don’t React, Regulate: How to Stop Overthinking While You Wait 16.03.2026 30min
    In this episode of Planet Em, Emily speaks to anyone in a waiting season who feels anxious, overwhelmed, or tempted to spiral. She shares a story about a friend who was anxious while dating someone new, even though nothing was going wrong, and connects it to her own experience in the early stages of her relationship with her fiancé. Emily explains why waiting can activate fight or flight, making the brain scan for potential threats and pull up past experiences as evidence. She breaks down why perception is not accurate in a stressed state and why decisions made from a reactive place often repeat old programming. Her core practice is simple: do not react, regulate, then respond. The episode also covers trust and surrender, detachment from how and when, and how to become so grounded and self loving that the outcome does not control someone’s peace. Emily closes by sharing how to calm the nervous system, return to what fills the cup, and move forward as the best self rather than a reactive version.

  • How to Get on Go Mode: Start Small, Take the Next Right Step 09.03.2026 25min
    In this episode of Planet Em, Emily shares real tools to help listeners get on go mode and start moving toward a dream, goal, or higher version of themselves. She breaks down the “mountain goal” idea, which is choosing a meaningful direction without needing to know the full path, then focusing on the next right step instead of getting overwhelmed by the whole climb. Emily explains how she used this method while building her career, including writing out every possible next step on a whiteboard, then choosing the option that excited her most. She emphasizes that trying to pick the “best” option can keep people stuck, and that momentum comes from choosing something, running it long enough to learn, and making adjustments from experience. The episode closes with a reminder to trust the process, detach from how and when it will happen, and keep the barrier to entry small so progress becomes inevitable. 
  • Net Worth Is Linked to Self Worth, The First Step to Rewiring for Wealth 02.03.2026 39min
    In this Q and A episode of Planet Em, Emily answers the questions she gets most often across the podcast and her content. She shares how the podcast went from feeling hard and vulnerable to becoming easier than making other types of content, and she breaks down what was actually behind the resistance, identity mismatch, fear of being seen, and procrastination. Emily also answers questions about guilt, wanting more, and money. She explains why money is a tool, why wanting more does not make someone selfish, and how abundance can be expressed through love, joy, gratitude, and freedom. She then explains the first step in rewiring the brain for wealth, connecting self worth to net worth and how higher self worth changes what people will ask for, accept, and pursue. The episode also covers when venting helps and when it becomes counterproductive, plus how to close the loop by extracting a lesson or reappraising the situation. Emily shares a practical take on discipline, self trust, and cheap dopamine, along with why starting smaller builds momentum. She closes with her why and the mission that drives her, plus a reminder to submit questions for future Q and A episodes.

  • Authenticity Is Magnetic: The Neuroscience of Being a Pattern Interrupt 23.02.2026 45min
    In this episode of Planet Em, Emily breaks down the neuroscience of being magnetic — and why the most magnetic thing you can be is authentic. She explains the idea of being a “pattern interrupt”: when you stand out, break the mold, or disrupt someone’s expectations, your brain’s attention systems have to notice. Em shares a real story that sparked the episode: a stranger told her to get off the phone in public, and instead of spiraling, she used it as a cue to ask what the situation was trying to teach her. That reflection led to a bigger realization: when you stand out, you attract attention — sometimes positive, sometimes negative — and the key is learning to stop feeling guilty for disrupting other people’s “model” of how the world should be. She then explains the brain science behind why novelty grabs attention (dorsal vs ventral attention networks), why being polarizing is part of being unforgettable, and how to give yourself permission to be your most “alien,” unapologetic self — online and in real life.

  • Your Energy Is Your Greatest Currency (Fix This Before You Do Anything) 16.02.2026 44min
    In this episode of Planet Em, Emily breaks down why your energy is your greatest currency — and how it quietly determines your results, your mood, your performance, and what you attract. She explains the difference between mental energy and physical energy, why energy is contagious, and how your nervous system can unconsciously pick up stress from people (and even environments) around you. Emily shares practical ways to set your energy before you do anything — from simple breath + intention practices to “priming” your brain for focus, confidence, and better outcomes. She also gets real about protecting your energy, including being more selective with environments, who you’re around, and what you consume online — because if you’re constantly bombarded with stress, your body starts living there.

  • The Law of Detachment: Why Letting Go Makes You Manifest Faster 08.02.2026 43min
    In this episode of Planet Em, Emily breaks down detachment—what it actually is, what it isn’t, and why it’s one of the most powerful manifestation skills to learn. She explains how being overly attached to an outcome can create desperation energy, keep your nervous system in fight-or-flight, and distort your perception so you miss opportunities that are actually trying to find you. Emily shares a practical detachment exercise: identify the feeling you think the goal will give you, write out reasons you already deserve to feel that way, and list what you can do today to put yourself in that feeling state—then revisit it daily. The goal isn’t “not wanting it.” It’s wanting it without gripping, so you can stay grounded, take aligned action, and actually receive what you’ve been asking for.

  • Manifest Your Dream Body (Without Lying to Yourself) 02.02.2026 47min
    In this episode of Planet Em, Em breaks down manifesting your dream body through a neuroscience + psychology lens, not just vibes. She explains why a lot of people stay stuck even when they “want it so bad,” and how identity, meaning, and expectations can quietly drive (or block) results. Em gets into the role of detachment, why your brain is a meaning-making machine, how placebo + belief can influence performance and consistency, and how to use visualization, affirmations, and identity-based thinking in a way that actually translates into daily actions.

  • Work-Life Balance Is a Scam (Here’s What Actually Works) 26.01.2026 44min
    In this episode of Planet Em, Emily breaks down what “the pursuit of greatness” actually looks like in real life, not just what you want, but who you’re becoming. She talks about how trying to balance everything at once sets you up to fail, why “work-life balance” can be a trap, and how balance tends to happen across seasons instead. Emily also gets practical: how she uses weekly notes and brain dumps to capture ideas, how to stop overthinking the effort (effort discounting), why dopamine often comes after you start, and how intrinsic vs extrinsic motivation changes the way you chase goals. Plus: a simple focus reset (move your phone out of your field of view) and a question she uses when she’s torn between rest and discipline: “What would future Emily appreciate me doing right now?”Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/planetempodcast?igsh=NDYwZmtrZzRveHQz TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@planetempod Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCDvOOWaXWgFhRNB8DkW9Pww/ 
  • Luck Isn’t Random... Here’s How to Prepare So It Finds You 19.01.2026 28min
    In this episode of Planet Em, Em shares one of her core life philosophies: letting luck meet preparation. She breaks down why “luck” isn’t something you wait for, it’s what happens when you create space for opportunity to land by getting clear on what you want and removing the fear that blocks you from receiving it. Em explains how preparation helps your brain filter for opportunities (instead of missing them), how fear of the unknown quietly drives procrastination and avoidance, and why a lot of people subconsciously fear success more than they realize. She shares real examples including how preparing for a book deal made her ready to say yes when the opportunity showed up. Then she walks you through a simple two-part “preparation workshop” you can do for any goal: planning the how (all the possible paths) and preparing for the after (what happens when it works out). The result is clarity, safety in your nervous system, and a brain that’s trained to notice what you’ve been asking for.
