Most of us have been taught that our worth is something we have to earn. Building from the Body is about unlearning that through the lens of entrepreneurship, embodiment, and the messy, real process of showing up as yourself in a world that keeps asking you to conform.

    A Field Of Wildflowers

    Emeline is back navigating the push and pull of marketing, and this time she's questioning everything she thought she'd figured out last episode. In episode eight, she explores what happens when you start going down the rabbit hole of viral templates and proven frameworks and realize that the pull to conform is everywhere, and it is strong. From the sea of sameness on Instagram to what it actually means to express yourself authentically in business, this is a honest look at what gets lost when we package ourselves into formats that feel safe to everyone else. Plus: why humanity should be like a field of wildflowers, and what it would mean to actually live that way. Still navigating. Still saying yes to life.

    I'm Here With an Agenda

    Emeline has been doing the research. Four months of consistent YouTube videos and Instagram Reels, and the data is pretty clear. What she's been doing isn't working. In episode seven, she gets honest about the tension between wanting to reach people and resisting every marketing tool that might actually do it. From organic broccoli versus red velvet cake to what it means to speak the language of the masses without losing yourself in it, this is a raw look at what it actually takes to build a business around work that matters. Plus: why she thinks wealth is meant to flow through women, and what it means to descend into the darkness without getting lost there. She's here with an agenda. This episode is where it gets real.

    The Regeneration Period

    Something is happening across the coaching, healing, and artist communities right now. Income is drying up, offers are changing, and businesses are being rebuilt from the ground up. In episode six, Emeline explores why she thinks this is not a personal failure but a collective regeneration period. Drawing on what we know about switching from conventional to regenerative farming, she makes the case that what feels like low yield and high effort right now is exactly what it looks like when something is being rebuilt at the root level in the physical world. Plus: the difference between money mindset work and the much deeper thing underneath it, and why she believes we're moving toward a fundamentally different relationship with abundance. Hang in there. The yield will come.

    What Happens When Nobody Claps: Unpacking Self-Worth and External Validation

    Emeline woke up to a credit card bill from Mexico City and an Instagram reel with 100 views and zero engagement. And it sent her into a spiral. In episode five, she gets honest about what happens when your self-worth is more tangled up with external validation than you thought, how hard it is to do somatic work in the moment when your awareness just wants to exit the building, and what it feels like to keep having your flow interrupted by the very things you're trying to heal. Plus: why being witnessed in the hard stuff might actually be the whole point. Say yes to life. Even this part.

    I Am Worthy Of Ease

    Emeline is back from Mexico City — where she also got her phone stolen — and she has a lot to process. In episode four, she gets into some of the deeper layers: what happens when the anxiety that lived in her chest for years finally moves, and what it revealed underneath. The self-worth programming that says you have to work hard just to exist. The strange empty space of not knowing how to do things differently. And a visit to Frida Kahlo's house that kept coming back to her long after she left. This one is raw, wandering, and very real. Welcome to the blender.

    I Am the Land Project

    Emeline went for a walk at 6:45am in a redwood forest to record this one. In episode three, she explores what it actually looks like to show up for yourself, and why it can feel so much harder than showing up for everyone else. From clutter in the home to clutter in the body, from text messages that feel overwhelming to open to cycles that need to be honored, this is an honest look at self-abandonment, neurodivergence, and what it means to finally start treating yourself like fertile soil worth tending. Plus: why Mother Nature is the best model for what consistent showing up actually looks like.

    What My Body Was Screaming

    In this episode, Emeline shares a somatic practice she took herself through on the day after the summer solstice, and what she found when she got there. A raw, honest look at the premenstrual experience, what lives in the lower energy centers of the body, and why the most difficult times in our cycles might actually be invitations to go deeper. Plus: why anger and grief aren't places to cast out or places to live in, but energies that need to be witnessed, held, and allowed to express completely.

    Zone 0.0: Regenerating Yourself First

    In this first episode, Emeline introduces regenerative somatics, the concept at the heart of Em's Wild Life. Drawing on permaculture's zone framework, she makes the case that Zone 0.0, the individual human body, is where all regeneration has to begin. She also shares what her life looks like right now: in transition, the dissolution phase of metamorphosis. Welcome to the journey.
