94. The Wild 2AM Whisper that Changed Her Entire Business | Podcast Crossover with The RETURN Podcast 01.05.2026 1godz 10minEpisode Notes:What happens when a 2 a.m. whisper changes the entire direction of your business?In this crossover episode of The Self-Trust Podcast and The Return Podcast, Emily sits down with Caitlan to talk about the intuitive nudge that led her to combine Human Design, IFS, and business strategy into a new offer called Power Move. What began as a quiet inner knowing became a years-in-the-making evolution of her work — one designed to help entrepreneurs make aligned decisions and take meaningful action in their businesses.Together, Emily and Caitlin talk about what it looks like to build a business that actually reflects your energy, values, and natural way of working, instead of forcing yourself into formulas that were never made for you. They explore the tension between depth and sustainability, the courage it takes to trust an idea before you can fully explain it, and why doing “The Thing” in business often means allowing it to take multiple iterations before it clicks.The second half of the episode gives listeners a behind-the-scenes look at Caitlin’s Power Move process, as she uses Emily’s Human Design to reflect on her own new offering: 1-1 Luxury Immersions. Their conversation opens up a deeper look at aligned business models, short-term depth work, and the kind of momentum that happens when you understand both your strategy and the parts of you that resist it.This episode is for anyone building something new, refining an offer, or learning to trust the idea that won’t leave them alone.In this episode, we talk about:✨the 2 a.m. whisper that led Caitlin to combine Human Design and IFS✨creating a business offer through multiple iterations instead of getting it perfect the first time✨why one-size-fits-all business advice can feel misaligned✨building a business that reflects your values, energy, and season of life✨how Power Move supports aligned action, accountability, and momentum✨the role of parts work in responding to business strategy✨a live behind-the-scenes look at Emily’s Human Design and luxury immersion offer✨short-term depth work, initiation, and what helps people finally move forwardResources mentioned:Power Move with CaitlinImmersions with EmilyEpisode 106 of The Return Podcast for more on Power MoveEpisode 87 of The Self-Trust Podcast for more on Emily’s Luxury ImmersionsCONNECT WITH EMILY: Have questions or topics you'd like to hear about?

93. An Ancestral Pilgrimage Back to Her Motherland | "My YOLO Year" | Sydney Zwicker 24.04.2026 1godz 5minEpisode Notes:✨ Apply for a 1-1 ImmersionWhat if the thing you’re being called to do is not just for you, but for the women who came before you and the ones who may come after you?In this guest episode, Emily talks with Sydney about her “YOLO year,” the ancestral pilgrimage that called her back to Hungary and Austria, and the deeper healing journey that unfolded through lineage, grief, spirituality, and trust. What began as a long-held bucket list dream became something far more sacred: a return to the lands of her motherline and a powerful encounter with inherited pain, inherited wisdom, and the magic of letting herself be led.Sydney shares how this pilgrimage emerged during a season of identity change, as she began reimagining her work, loosening old structures, and creating more space for travel, pleasure, and receiving. Together, she and Emily explore maternal lineage, scarcity and worthiness, the fear of solo travel, and what happens when you stop trying to earn every good thing and start trusting the mystery instead.This is a conversation about ancestry, nervous system healing, divine timing, and living in a way that feels fully alive... or, as Sydney says, living “for the plot.”Connect with SydneyConnect with Sydney on IG✨ Apply for a 1-1 ImmersionRelated Episodes from the past season:Solo Travel & Self-TrustCONNECT WITH EMILY: Have questions or topics you'd like to hear about?

She Sold Her Home and Bought a One-Way Ticket to Bali | Bianca Hughes 17.04.2026 56minEpisode Notes:✨ Apply for a 1-1 ImmersionWhat happens when the life you built starts to feel too small for who you’re becoming?In this guest episode, Emily talks with Bianca about compassion fatigue, self-trust, and the bold decision to sell her townhouse, step away from her therapy practice, and take a three-month sabbatical that began with a one-way ticket to Bali. What started as a desire for change became a deeper journey of rest, renewal, and reconnecting with herself.Bianca shares how years of holding space for others led her to a breaking point, why Bali had been on her heart since she was 19, and how travel opened the door to a different kind of freedom. Along the way, she reflects on the power of writing things down, the unexpected healing of a silent meditation retreat in Thailand, and the realization that success might look less like performing and more like actually liking yourself.This episode is for anyone craving a reset, dreaming about a leap they can’t quite explain, or wondering what might happen if they finally trusted themselves enough to go.Connect with Bianca:www.authenticallybeyou.comwww.soulfulcliniciancollective.comhttps://www.instagram.com/authenticallybeyou/✨ Apply for a 1-1 ImmersionRelated Episodes from the past season:Solo Travel & Self-TrustCONNECT WITH EMILY: Have questions or topics you'd like to hear about?

89. Nomadic Life | "The Thing" on My Bucket List for a Decade 27.03.2026 32minEpisode DescriptionSome versions of The Thing don’t happen quickly... they take years of listening, waiting, and building.In this episode, I share how nomadic life lived on my bucket list for a full decade before it finally became possible. I knew I wanted it long before I knew how it could work, and long before the timing made sense.This conversation explores what it looks like to play the long game: navigating inner and logistical blocks, trusting intuition when clarity doesn’t come as a plan, and honoring the desires that refuse to disappear, even when they take years to unfold.I also share the unexpected moment when clarity finally arrived, not as a checklist or strategy, but as a single image that set everything in motion.In this episode, we explore:Why some dreams take years to come to lifeThe difference between inner blocks and logistical constraintsHow nomadic living emerged slowly, not impulsivelyTrusting intuition when the path doesn’t make sense yetWhat it really took to finally do "The Thing"If there’s something you’ve wanted for a long time, and you’re not sure why it hasn’t happened yet, this episode offers a different way to understand the timing.✨ Apply for a 2026 ImmersionGet your copy of You Can Trust Yourself🌳 Portland, OR Travel GuideRelated Past Episodes:Solo Travel + Self-TrustCONNECT WITH EMILY: Have questions or topics you'd like to hear about?
