Room to Grow Podcast with Emily Gough Emily Gough

This time, I’m answering the questions. 
This special episode of Room to Grow™ was taken from my guest appearance on the Between Heaven and Earth podcast hosted by Intuitive Coach, Lisa K. Lisa invited me on her show to talk about how to successfully approach dating, including how self love, intuition, trust, loneliness and playfulness all play a major factor in both new and long-term relationships.
I also opened up about my own relationship history and what I learned about infidelity, forgiveness, moving on and turning heartbreak into empowerment. I now coach others on human connection and how working on yourself first will make you a better partner and greatly enhance the quality and depth of your relationships.
On that note… I wrote a book! It’s called “You Grow Me” co-authored by Dr. Jade Teta, host of the Next Level Human podcast. It’s all about how to create deeper, better relationships by doing your own inner work and bringing your best self to the table. You’re going to love this one – stay tuned for release details! 
I hope this amazing interview with Lisa K opens you up to new thoughts about dating, and covers everything from cheating, to dreams, intuition, what men and women are each looking for in relationships, friendship and even dating apps. 
In this podcast episode, we’re talking about:
Dating and relationships Intuition Healing from trauma and heartbreak How to listen to your body’s signals Learning to trust yourself Why certainty is an illusion Imagery in intuition Advice for new relationships   
I’d love to hear your thoughts on this episode and if you’re noticing things about yourself within your own relationship (or the one that didn’t work). Email me or send me a DM on Instagram @emilygoughcoach. I’d love to chat!

Fear of change can often leave us dangling on the cusp of our own massive success. Consequently, instead of unleashing our full power to the universe, we lock ourselves in the subconscious “safe zone” of the things, relationships, situations and habits that minimize our power. 
Change is indeed scary as hell. But stepping into your full power requires letting go of the doubts, uncertainties and people holding us back. This way, we open ourselves up to inviting in that next glorious chapter. Today, we’re talking about how to confidently let go of those fears so you can safely - and finally - step into your full power. 
In this episode, we’re talking about:
Vulnerability Letting go How to reach your full potential Experiencing joy Overcoming fear Navigating change Personal development Relationships  
Do you struggle with stepping into your full power? What’s holding you back from the success you know you’re capable of? Please reach out, I’d love to discuss this topic with you. Email me or send me a DM @emilygoughcoach

“How do I know if they’re the one?” I get this question more often than I can tell you. But truthfully, I don’t believe there’s only one person in the world for us. And trying to fit that perfect someone into your preconceived love story presents a number of challenges and very, very often keeps people in bad relationships longer than they should be.
Instead, we should all focus on how we can become the one, ourselves. And as we grow, there may even be more than one “one” that becomes our perfect fit at different times throughout our journey. This episode is all about rethinking the recipe of a great relationship - not as two people making a whole, but two whole people coming together to allow a beautiful relationship to unfold. 
On that same topic, some exciting news: I’ve written a book (co-authored by Dr. Jade Teta, host of the Next Level Human podcast) all about how relationships are not here to complete us, but rather to grow us. You’re going to love this one - stay tuned for release details! 
In this podcast episode, we’re talking about:
How to know if they’re the one Scarcity vs Abundance mindset Focusing on personal development vs finding true love Establishing strong values, standards and boundaries Why relationships require time apart How to have a better relationship Dating advice  
Do you agree that there is no “one” person out there for us? Disagree? I’d love to discuss more! Email me or send me a DM on Instagram @emilygoughcoach.

Not everyone deserves a place in your heart. But closing ourselves off isn’t the answer either. Boundaries can become fortresses. And then we wonder why no one can ever break through. 
Yet it’s not always about setting every boundary under the sun with each individual person in your life. It’s about showing up as the person you want to be, and watching the magic that unfolds as a direct and specific result of your shift. 
Can we allow life to happen, while also trusting ourselves to be able to handle issues as they come up? Can we show up in a way that simply repels what we are not ok with accepting? 
In this episode, we’re talking:
Personal boundaries How to “be” the thing that you want to call in, and then watching what unfolds in your life as a direct result. Deciding what you are and are not willing to tolerate Shifting perspectives. Retraining your brain to recognize something different Leaning into the flow of life while balancing necessary boundaries  
Boundaries is a conversation - and challenge - I hear from many listeners and clients. Do you struggle with boundaries? I’d love to chat more about this topic with you.

The journey to self-love begins with liking yourself first. But doing this work can present one of the biggest battles we all face as humans: loneliness. It's one of the things that keeps us in mediocre relationships far past their expiry dates, because being in the company of another seems, in theory, better than being alone.
But relationships with others are not the cure to loneliness. And believe it or not, the better you become acquainted with loneliness, the less you will fear it and the more it can help you grow. In this episode, I’ll share how, and give you a step-by-step practice to self-love.
In this episode, we’re talking about: 
Accepting loneliness The 8 Steps to Self-Love Learning to like yourself How to build a healthy relationship Loneliness vs alone Benefits of developing a relationship with loneliness

There are more “labels” than ever floating around out there, especially in the areas of self-help and personal development. Occasionally, labels can be helpful by helping us to feel less isolated and alone in our “weirdness.”
But identifying too strongly with any particular label has the potential to do more harm than good. They prevent us from viewing individuals (including ourselves) as a whole, complex and unique being. Labels, therefore, can keep us small, rigid, and wrapped up in parts of ourselves without allowing the fullness of our personalities to shine through.
Labels can also keep us so deeply focused on “self” that we forget how much connection with others heals us, because we heal IN relationships.
In this episode, we’re talking about: 
How labels weigh us down and keep us small How to nourish yourself without the labels Personal development and self-help Judgment Relationships and human connection  
This podcast topic actually came from a suggestion on Instagram. I’d love to know your thoughts about labels. Email me or DM me on Instagram @emilygoughcoach. I’d love to chat more!
