Witchy Wellness with Em

I’ve been listening to the back episodes and I am loving Emily’s energy that she brings and it really motivates me to continue. Most recently I listened to the Dec 10th 2025 episode and wow! I was going back and forth on whether or not to spend the money I frankly don’t have on the Yule Challenge. And it made me realize that future me won’t care about the $$$ when a year from now I become the future self I am dreaming to be. She would want me to take those steps to improve myself rather than sitting stagnant like I have been for the past few months. Annnnnd by the end of it I already started to feel a somatic shift. Triumph!!

In listening to the latest episode I resonated most strongly with the idea of identifying as the kind of person who does X - My identity even when I’ve hit fitness goals has always been as “former unhealthy person” and still “person with a sweet tooth” even when I was actively being “person who works out 4x a week” and “person who enjoys desserts at special occasions.” In manifesting success in the past I’ve similarly found it easy and had pieces fall into place when I shifted my mind and started to identify as a successful professional singer. I still had to put in the work, but doing the work became easy because it felt like a matter of course. Super helpful episode!

I had a lot of moments during this podcast where I found myself recounting similar experiences where I’ve heard my future self (which I think of as my intuition) guiding me, and where I have ignored it out of fear. My a-ha moment was realizing that these were moments of not trusting myself or the universe to take me where I’m meant to go. I can’t wait to have many more a-ha moments during this challenge!

This episode on the "Identity Shift" just hits different. The idea to actually become the person whose identity aligns with my goals really resonated with me. I’ve struggled my whole life to just swallow the work down like a jagged pill. The idea to shift my mindset to one that’s already in alignment is 🤯Em explains so clearly that it’s not just about the external actions, but the internal shift that makes success inevitable. Hearing her personal story of choosing to show up when things were falling apart is the type of support and motivation I needed to stop making excuses.
