On the eve of my birthday – and a rather milestone one at that – I am overwhelmed with an acute awareness (and aversion) of the crap and beliefs and thoughts and pressures that I am just … done with. So in bumbling Emily fashion – here they are. Shit that I’m done with (the […]
I came across the concept of multipotentialites in a TEDx talk by Emilie Wapnick (I know, even her name is like mine, but spelt cooler and weirdly incorporates my partner’s name into the surname … Weird) a few months back. As soon as I finished the podcast, I texted my boyfriend and sent him the […]

There’s a fine line that I have seen social media and podcasts and documentaries tiptoe along as of late – and that’s within the concept of radical self acceptance. Accepting (and consequently loving) yourself is key to happiness and is the cornerstone of EVERY healthy relationship (friendship, lovers, marriage, whatevs). The whole premise of acceptance […]
After chipping away at this blog for some years now [I know, mindfuck right?] some of its showcased musings and ramblings start to blend into one. These posts that take on the shape and form of a sort of essay, teasing apart and exploring a particular theme or concept that’s tuggin at my brain on […]
