Podcasts about outthis

Do consider a paid subscription today in case a time accident takes place and suddenly I'm whisked back to September 5, 1698, when Tsar Peter I of Russia levied a tax on beards for everyone except the clergy and peasants. This is most likely not going to happen, but this is one possible reason to make a contribution.This Saturday edition of Charlottesville Community Engagement also offers me the opportunity to experiment. This particular version has material that did not appear on the WTJU radio program and is created fresh for the loyal listeners of the podcast.But for the first time in a regular post, paid subscribers get access to a synopsis of a particular project. There's nothing new in the reporting, but I took the opportunity to write up a summary of the ill-fated West2nd project based on a combination of previous reporting and new research. That part is not in the audio. Stories this week: * Charlottesville follows through with plans to clear encampments along the Rivanna River after 2000 Holiday Drive opens (look at the story)* Albemarle Supervisors presented with metrics on county performance in FY2026 (read story)* Albemarle Supervisors agree to allow County Executive to sign performance agreement for Southwood's second phase (view story)* Albemarle Supervisors agreed to charge fares for MicroCAT (see story)* Albemarle Supervisors approved rezoning for 18-unit development on three acres in Crozet (story forthcoming on C-Ville Weekly)* Paid subscribers get a written summary of what happened with West2nd, an unbuilt development that would been constructed on a city parking lot They are not all podcasts, but this one is. If you sign up for free, you'll get that each week as well as a lot of other information. Paid subscribers get a smidge more and support the work financially A sponsored message: Panorama Natural BurialAt Panorama Natural Burial, we believe caring for the deceased can be simple, meaningful, and deeply connected to the natural world.

We are open to the public daily 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. Come visit!No arrests made in conjunction with Charlottesville removal of people from Rivanna River encampmentsThis story assembles coverage from previous editions of the newsletterThis week the City of Charlottesville followed through on a deadline to remove people from encampments along the Rivanna River as soon as an emergency shelter opened at 2000 Holiday Drive to provide an alternative.Charlottesville's chief building official issued a temporary certificate of occupancy early September 1 after work crews cleared a list of violations that held up issuance the day before.The city closed off the Rivanna Trail at Free Bridge on Tuesday to give space for the clean-up and asked media representatives to stay clear.By the end of the first day, sixteen people had opted to move into the emergency shelter and the camps were declared to be closed.The same night, video footage captured someone setting fire to two of tents still standing at one of the camp sites. Officials are still requesting help.By the end of Wednesday night, ten more people had moved in. The city that day also posted a video with Nathan Smith, the CEO of Central Arizona Shelter Services. That firm is being paid $3.2 million for a year's worth of running the emergency low-barrier shelter.“Low-barrier shelter means we do everything we can to eliminate all the things that prevent people from accessing shelter,” said Nathan Smith. “For example, people don't access shelter because they can't bring their pets.”In the video, Smith takes viewers through the renovated first floor of 2000 Holiday Drive which includes storage space for people's belongings.“We have 240 bins for what could be up to 120 people,” Smith said. “Not certain 120 people are going to be here. If so, great, everyone can have two bins, but if not, maybe they can have three.”The men's dorm currently has 37 twin-size beds in a congregate setting but more can be added. Each has a locker underneath. Charging stations are nearby for phones and other devices, but also for health equipment like CPAP machines.There are currently 21 beds in the women's dorm. There are also four isolation rooms for a variety of purposes such as if guests are sick.Tables have also been set up for guests to play games and to share time with each other. Smith said that many people experiencing homelessness are also feeling isolated.“One of the reasons why people enjoy living in encampment situations is because they have a sense of community,” Smith said. “We want to bring them into a safer space where they're not worried about getting flooded or the other things that happen with the elements, particularly in the winter.”On Thursday, the city also released images and a video of what appears to be a person dressed in light clothing along a paved portion of the trail. As they walk into the frame of the security camera, they put a hat on their head to shield their identity.The person briefly leaves the trail and walks to one of the tents still standing alongside discarded items. They use some sort of a mechanism to start a flame and walk away when it ignites. The person that moves further down the trail and appears to walk away. They turn back to catch another tent on fire. This flame burns more quickly and continues to grow as the video ends.The city asks anyone with information to call the Crime Stoppers line at 434-977-4000.Take a look at the video here.City Councilor Jen Fleisher updated the members of the Thomas Planning District Commission on the closure of the encampments at the group's meeting on September 3.“We've moved everyone out into shelter or alternative housing,” Fleisher said. “And that was an effort that involved multiple departments and agencies, as well as nonprofits and community volunteers. We've met with 26 guests, well, 27 guests as of this afternoon. Doors are open.”Fleisher said Central Arizona Shelter Services is being paid to run the site for the next year while plans continue to be developed to convert 2000 Holiday Drive into a permanent emergency shelter.Fleisher also said the cleanup of the trail will continue through Saturday and damages are being repaired.When asked about the fire, Fleisher said the fire happened after the last three residents of the encampment left on Wednesday night.So far no lawsuits have been filed against the city, but Fleisher confirmed there many people on site observing activities during the removal period.“While they were with us all day, no one communicated with us any concerns, and I haven't seen any reports yet,” Fleisher said.People staying there are getting two meals, a place to shower, and access to case managers.“That's the goal, to make this a stepping stone into transitional housing, then permanent supportive housing, and do so by really getting back on or first time connected to that case management, the support needed,” Fleisher said.On Friday, the city's Communications and Public Engagement office did another in-house video with City Manager Sam Sanders. He said that even though the shelter is operating under a temporary permit, the intent is for it to never close.“We're gonna make improvements to the space while we continue to serve in that location. I see it as a one-stop homeless services center,” Sanders said. “That's what I would like it to be. That is what we're hoping that our partners can come together and produce and that we can find as many providers who are willing to come to that location.”Sanders said the city will also be investing in transitional housing as a next step for many after a congregate emergency shelter. He thanked all involved with the swift opening of 2000 Holiday Drive.“We started this conversation in mid-July, and here we are in early September with the facility open that I never envisioned could be possible this quickly after buying the building last year,” Sanders said. “And our community partners, the assessment team members, all the folks who have really, really rallied around the idea that An emergency response is what was needed for what was happening at the Rivanna River.”The topic is likely to come up in some form at City Council's meeting on Tuesday, September 8.One item in the packet is Sanders' written report which contains a mention that he met with the executive director of the Thomas Jefferson Planning District Commission on September 1 to “to discuss opportunities to align funding priorities to support a regional response to homelessness using currently allocated opportunities to engage all regional parties in the discussion.”What will that look like? Stay tuned to Charlottesville Community Engagement.Background context on why one Downtown Charlottesville project didn't work outThis week, the formerly daily newspaper called the Charlottesville Daily Progress printed an article about the demise of West2nd that appears to have been based on previous reporting in this newsletter. It's likely behind a paywall, but somehow I was able to click through.West2nd is a failed development by Woodard Properties that began life as Market Plaza. The article prompted a polemic on Reddit from someone demanding that the Board of Architectural Review be disbanded due to their role in the project's demise.As with many things, that is not the complete picture.My idea of a fun Friday night is reviewing old stories to make sure any future reporting I do is still valid. I'm only as good as how accurate I am, and memory should never be trusted. I also wanted to fill in one of my knowledge gaps.In the following, all links go to reporting I did years ago at Charlottesville Tomorrow unless otherwise noted.The roots of the failure of West2nd begin with the way the project came to be. In October, City Council put out a request for developers interested in developing the city-owned lot that also included 105 spots for market vendors. That idea stemmed from a design contest held by the now-defunct Charlottesville Community Design Center in 2007.Four proposals were received and one of them did imagine purchasing the lot next door from Charlottesville Parking Center which at that time was still owned by a group of shareholders rather than one person. Council selected Woodard Properties in June 2014 for an L-shaped nine-story building with 67 residential units, commercial space, and 115 market slots.“You see that it is possible to come to decisions,” said Mayor Satyendra Huja. “I have made up my mind that mixed-use development and the market can happen on this site in spite of the number of consultants we hired that said no.”A special use permit was needed and it sailed through the review process and was approved in December 2014. The Board of Architectural Review still had to sign off on the design.On Council, Huja was just an elected official and not in his previous perch as director of the city's planning efforts. He would leave office and permanently retire from public life at the end of 2015 but was on Council in October 2015 when the special use permit was amended.In early 2015, Planning director Jim Tolbert had left. That meant the project went through the rest of the planning process without anyone on Council to try to shepherd it through and with a new person in charge in Neighborhood Development Services.Council had a lot of turnover. Mike Signer and Wes Bellamy joined Council in 2016. Heather Hill and Nikuyah Walker did so in 2018, after the events of the year before. The political climate changed.When another request to amend the special use permit came before Council in early 2018, a 3-2 majority denied it. (C-Ville Weekly version by another reporter)“Whenever we begin to create housing that is supposed to be top-notch and high-level, very rarely do individuals from low-income communities have the opportunity to take advantage of such,” said Councilor Wes Bellamy at the time.After that vote, Woodard agreed to make changes and the new count was 4-1 two months later. Only Walker remained as a no vote. (Cavalier Daily article)By June 2018, I had left Charlottesville Tomorrow and out of play as a reporter. My new job did not extend to covering the Board of Architectural Review.At this point, the project has received a preliminary certificate of appropriateness from the BAR. According to the minutes of their August 21, 2018 meeting, Woodard returned to get it finalized and he hoped to get under construction by October.A description of the review begins on page 7 and indicates many BAR members were dissatisfied with many aspects of the project.A vote to recommend denial was 5 to 3 “based on the comments cited earlier focusing on mass and height and the use of the plaza as a functional public space.”While Woodard's lawyer appealed the BAR's decision to Council, that hearing never happened. Woodard also issued a press release announcing the project would be abandoned.“I hope that someone else can move this project forward. In early 2014 when we responded to the City RFP to develop this project, it was a different City Council and different circumstances. The last straw for us was yet another unexpected delay by the City Board of Architectural Review (BAR) on August 21st” said Keith Woodard.Some other articles to round this out:* Developer scraps West2nd project, citing ‘unexpected delay' from city's Board of Architectural Review, Eliza Haverstock, Cavalier Daily, August 30, 2018* West2nd City Council appeal indicates the project could still move forward, Geremia Di Maro and Jake Gold, Cavalier Daily, September 1, 2026* ‘The last straw:' Woodard pulls the plug on West2nd, Samantha Baars, August 30, 2018Woodard's son Anthony now runs Woodard Properties and recently purchased the 100 East Water Street for $15 million from the Charlottesville Parking Center, as I reported for C-Ville Weekly.The City Market continues to be a down attraction, coinciding with one held at the Ix Art Park.How will things develop in the future?Thanks to your paid subscription to the newsletter, I hope to continue to do the work for a long time to come.This post has bonus content for paid subscribers. Upgrade to get full access.Thoughts at the end of #1119-A Somehow the work week has concluded. And I have the opportunity to take a day off. I dislike this because as I say a lot, work to me relaxing. I research things for a living, and I have a lot of deadlines. If I am working toward them, I feel in a positive state.If I am not, I begin to deteriorate.This particular edition is a little late. Many podcast listeners this week have reached out to say how important it is for them to be able to hear the stories, so I'll keep doing them. I also want to figure out how to work with people who might like to learn production skills. In any case, this is now finished and I'm going to go to a birthday party a friend is throwing for herself. I will try my best not to work when I am there.The Week Ahead may be delayed until Monday morning with the next regular newsletter on Tuesday. I have two stories written for that. The goal with work tomorrow is to try to get a lot of next week framed out so when the time comes I'll just get to the tasks at hand. At some point, too, there is financial work to be done. I really need to get to that. Thanks again for reading and listening. Please share with people. This has all grown through word of mouth and people sharing. For now, though? Time to clean my kitchen after the delicious brunch I made for myself earlier after a five mile walk after sunrise. I'm old now, and I'm here for it. This is a public episode.

A new wave of anti-Mormon content is recycling old claims that Joseph Smith was deeply involved with demons and occult rituals.In this episode we break down a recent video from the Catholic channel *Jesus and Whatnot* that argues Joseph Smith had more demonic encounters than any other religious figure. We examine:- The unreliable 1833 Hurlbut affidavits (black sheep sacrifice, toad spirit, etc.)- Why high demon interaction does **not** equal demonic inspiration (Jesus had far more)- How the same logic would disqualify biblical prophets- The accounts of Joseph Smith actually casting out demons that get conveniently left outThis is a clear example of how weak sources get recycled into confident-sounding attacks.

A wedding day turns into a 15-year prison sentence when Jeff Coffin wakes up stowed away on a deep-space ship bound for Centaurus. What starts as a simple prank becomes a desperate fight against kidnapping, mutiny, and the brutal logic of space law - and the only thing standing between Jeff and survival is a crewman who knows how the ship really works.Dwight6 brings "Shanghaied" to life as a tense, fast-moving sci-fi tale where one wrong night out at the bar changes everything. Jeff believes he can talk his way back to Earth, but once he learns the ship's destination, the stakes spike fast: if he doesn't escape before launch, he vanishes for fifteen years, and by the time he returns, his life is gone.You'll hear:How Jeff is tricked onto the RS Michael Raffitt and why the joke turns viciousThe harsh reality of long-haul space travel, including hull watch, airlocks, and punishment under space codeThe escalating mutiny as the crew realizes the captain will sacrifice anyone to keep controlThe moment a crucial crewman becomes the key to getting through the ship's locked bulkheadWhy a patrol ship at the end turns the whole crisis inside outThis episode works because it takes a simple premise - a man trying not to miss his own wedding - and pushes it into a claustrophobic survival story where every decision has a cost. The ship becomes a trap, the crew becomes a threat, and the law of the future feels colder than the vacuum outside.If you like classic science fiction with pressure-cooker suspense, sharp twists, and a story that keeps tightening the screws until the final minute, this one belongs on your list. Perfect for listeners who want old-school radio drama with real momentum and a genuinely high-stakes premise.

What if the thing standing between you and the life you want isn't a lack of ability but simply the fear of taking the next step?In this episode of Energy Workz, we dive into procrastination, self doubt, fear of failure and the beliefs that can keep us stuck. Sometimes we convince ourselves we're not ready, not capable or not good enough, when what we really need is to trust ourselves and take one small step forward.In this episode, we explore:Why we procrastinate when we're afraid we might failHow self doubt and negative thinking can prevent us from moving forwardLearning to trust yourself and your own intuitionUnderstanding the difference between your true self and the voice of the egoReleasing old limiting beliefsHow generational patterns can influence feelings of safety, confidence and self-worthBecoming the "chain breaker" who chooses to create a different patternWhy you don't need to compare your journey to anyone else'sLearning to recognise your own unique strengths and abilitiesGiving yourself permission to ask for what you wantCreating more peace, freedom, confidence and balance in your lifeMoving forward even when you don't have everything figured outThis episode is a powerful reminder that you don't have to feel completely confident before you begin. Sometimes confidence comes because you took the step, not before it.Your past doesn't have to dictate your future. You can learn from your experiences, release what no longer serves you and choose a different way forward.What have you been putting off because you're afraid it won't work?Maybe you don't need to know exactly how you're going to get there.Maybe you just need to take the next step. ❤️If this episode resonated with you, please subscribe, leave a review, and share it with someone who needs a little encouragement to trust themselves and move forward.+ Join my free Facebook group+ Follow me on Instagram+ For one on one support click here to book a clarity call: https://calendly.com/tanyaormsby+ Get on the The Energy Workz list click here.

Julia Klim is redefining what it means to live and perform well in a high-pressure world.As former Head of Strategic Partnerships at Equinox Group, she helped transform the brand from a luxury gym into a full-spectrum healthspan platform. She launched Optimize by Equinox, an elite longevity program that pairs members with doctors, trainers, nutritionists, and sleep coaches using deep biometric data.Julia writes the Substack “In Search Of”, where she challenges the idea that health can be “hacked.” She argues that many high performers are quietly dysregulated despite doing everything right, and that nervous system health, immune resilience, and cellular energy are the real foundations of long-term performance.Julia is known for cutting through wellness hype, questioning over-optimization, and exposing why more tools, more supplements, and more protocols often make people worse, not better.In this episode, Julia breaks down why anxiety, fatigue, brain fog, and burnout are usually signs of autonomic overload, not lack of discipline. We explore how chronic stress, inflammation, and mitochondrial dysfunction quietly erode performance, and why your body must feel safe before any optimization works.You will learn:Why you cannot biohack your nervous systemHow hidden dysregulation shows up in high performersWhat biomarkers and signals actually matterWhy supplements fail in threat modeHow to build real resilience instead of chasing hacksWhy environment, relationships, and routines drive recoveryHow to perform at a high level without burning outThis is a grounded, science-backed conversation for founders and leaders who want to win for decades, not just quarters.Julia Klim- In Search Of: https://readinsearchof.com- LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/juliaklim/- X/Twitter: https://x.com/klimjuls- Instagram: https://instagram.com/klimjulsLloyed Lobo- LinkedIn: https://linkedin.com/in/lloyedlobo- Instagram: https://instagram.com/lloyedlobo

There's a pattern I see in men every day—and chances are, you've felt it too.From the outside, life looks solid. You're showing up, producing, leading, handling responsibility. But underneath… something feels off. Not falling apart. Not lost. Just disconnected.In this episode, we go deeper into what most men can't quite put into words—the quiet pressure, the internal tension, the sense that you should feel fulfilled… but don't.This isn't about burnout. It's not about motivation.It's about something deeper—disconnection from who you really are.I break down how this happens, why high-performing men are especially vulnerable to it, and how the patterns you're experiencing aren't random—they're signals.We'll walk through:Why men disconnect in layers without realizing itThe hidden patterns driving over-performance and internal pressureWhat “fragmentation” actually looks like in your lifeAnd how to begin reconnecting from the inside outThis is where the Restorative Masculine Integration Theory (RMIT) comes in—helping you stop trying to fix yourself… and start returning to who you already are.Because the goal isn't to become someone new.It's to come back to life—and lead from that place.If something in this hits… don't ignore it.Call to Action:

In this episode, former detectives Simon and Tom review the case against Lawrence Kane — one of the most persistent suspects in the Zodiac Killer investigation. We advise you listen to the previous episode. While Kane appears to “tick many boxes” on paper, this discussion goes deeper — separating compelling evidence from misleading coincidence.Key points explored include:Kane's background: Navy experience, coding knowledge, brain injury, and a history of sexual and petty offencesHis proximity to key Zodiac crime locations, including San Francisco and VallejoThe significance of his convictions for prowling and voyeurism — and whether these behaviours align with the Zodiac's possible pre-offence patternsThe detectives focus heavily on identification evidence, often considered the backbone of any case:Darlene Ferrin's sisters identifying Kane as a man who frightened herKathleen Johns later identifying Kane as her abductorWhy these identifications are compelling — but still fall short of proving he was the ZodiacHowever, major challenges to the Kane theory are also examined:No confirmed link to firearms — despite the Zodiac's demonstrated skill with multiple weaponsThe Donna Lass case, which differs significantly from known Zodiac crimes in method and executionThe risk of forcing connections between unrelated crimesA key theme of this episode is the copycat theory:Could some incidents attributed to the Zodiac actually be separate crimes triggered by media coverage?Are investigators and researchers grouping together crimes that don't belong?The discussion also highlights a critical investigative danger:Becoming too focused on one suspect and forcing evidence to fit — rather than stepping back and reassessing the bigger pictureUltimately, the conclusion remains frustratingly familiar:Lawrence Kane cannot be definitively linked to the Zodiac KillerBut equally, he cannot be fully ruled outThis episode is a grounded, expert-led breakdown of a suspect who continues to divide opinion — and a reminder of just how complex the Zodiac case truly is. About Crime Time Inc.Season 5 of Crime Time Inc. broadens its reach across two sides of the Atlantic.This season features cases from Scotland and across the wider UK — rooted in real investigative experience — alongside deep dives into some of the most infamous murder cases in American history.Hosted by former detectives Simon and Tom, with experience in both the UK and the United States, including time working alongside the FBI, the show strips away sensationalism to explain how crime and justice really work.Two crime worlds.

If you've ever set a goal and felt excited for 5 minutes… then randomly fell off, got overwhelmed, or quit — this episode is for you.Today we're building the goal setting system you actually need — because goals don't work without structure. Motivation is not a plan, and discipline isn't something you're born with… it's something you build through systems that make success inevitable.In this episode, I'm breaking down the exact framework I use to set goals in a realistic way and stay consistent even when life gets busy or my motivation disappears.In this episode, we cover:Why most goals fail (and it's not because you're lazy)The difference between a goal and a systemHow to choose ONE focus goal for the next 90 daysHow to turn big goals into daily non-negotiablesThe “minimum baseline” method for low energy daysWeekly check-ins that keep you accountableHow to stay consistent without burning outThis episode will change the way you approach your goals — because once you have a system, you don't need to rely on motivation anymore.CONNECT WITH ME:Instagram: https://instagram.com/oliviaeveshaboTikTok: https://tiktok.com/@oliviaeveshaboPodcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/for-you-from-eve/id1544519585YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@oliviaeveshaboSPONSORS:Mint Mobile: https://mintmobile.com/fromeveAirDoctor: https://airdoctorpro.com, code FROMEVERula: https://www.rula.com/fromeveRella: https://getrella.com, code FROMEVEOlive & June: https://oliveandjune.com/FROMEVEFabletics: https://fabletics.com/fromeveFÜM: https://tryfum.com/FROMEVECowboy Colostrum: https://cowboycolostrum.com, code FROMEVE.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

The episode everyone has been waiting for is finally here.In this conversation, I sit down with Addison Andrix, Bethany's newly hired Coordinator of Confirmation, High School, and Young Adult Ministry.Addison shares his story and what brings him to Bethany Lutheran Church. Addison grew up Lutheran in Minnesota and stayed connected to church through high school. And as most college kids he drifted a bit before finding his way back and rediscovering a deeper relationship with God through prayer, rest, Scripture, and community. During this conversation we talk about:Growing up with faith as routine and stabilityHow ministry can quietly turn into a jobThe difference between religious participation and a relationship with GodWhy pray isn't magic, but it does reorient usGrace vs. performance (and why God isn't keeping score)What Sabbath can teach us about the freedom to stop pretending we're in controlWhy unconditional love is both central to faith and incredibly hard to live outThis conversation is more than meeting Addison, it's about grace, burnout, trust and learning to navigate faith in real life.

What if your anxiety isn't anxiety at all, but your inner fire trying to wake up?In this episode, we explore the powerful energetic intersection of Imbolc, the Leo Full Moon, and the witch wound, and how these forces illuminate our relationship with visibility, power, and feminine fire.Imbolc marks the return of the light, the sacred midpoint between winter and spring, when energy begins to stir beneath the surface. Paired with a Leo Full Moon, this moment invites deep reflection on where we've learned to dim our light, hide our creativity, or fear being seen.We talk about the witch wound as both an ancestral and personal experience, shaped by centuries of fear around feminine power, visibility, and fire. This episode explores how hiding your inner fire can manifest as anxiety, burnout, resentment, or restlessness, and how learning to tend your fire becomes an act of healing.You'll hear reflections on:Imbolc meaning and seasonal energyLeo Full Moon themes of visibility and courageThe witch wound and fear of being seenFire as transformation, creativity, and life forceBrigid, hearth tending, and sacred flameThe Strength tarot card and embodied powerHow to reclaim your inner fire without burning outThis episode is an invitation to stop fearing your power and start tending it with care, intention, and trust.Whether you are new to witchcraft, exploring secular witchery, healing ancestral wounds, or feeling called to step into greater visibility, this conversation offers grounding, insight, and permission to shine.

How it worksEach day, you'll receive a pre-recorded audio episode you can listen to in your own time.If you'd like extra support or connection, there are optional live sessions available in the morning or evening. You can join one, both, or none at all.Everything is stored in a central hub for all replays, audio files and resources, so you can dip in, catch up, or revisit whenever it suits you.This Reset is designed to fit around your life, not add another thing to manage.What people say about the ResetKerrie“The Alcohol Reset was a great way to press pause on drinking and really evaluate why I drink. The live sessions were warm, inclusive and completely non-judgemental. It made me realise there are so many people just like me. Emma helped me look at things in a way I never had before, and it's made me want to keep exploring this with myself.”Tracy“The 3 Day Reset was such a positive step forward. Learning that you can't fail was huge for me. Emma is a wealth of knowledge and so non-judgy. I've been constantly listening to the replays.”Anne“The Reset felt like having a like-minded, non-judgemental friend in my living room helping me with something I don't want to talk about with friends or family. I felt safe, I had so many ‘aha' moments, and I laughed out loud.”Rebecca“If you're looking for a non-threatening, non-judgemental way to understand why you drink and decide what to do next, I highly recommend Emma's 3 Day Reset. It's supportive, informative and you don't even have to get off the couch.”Libby“I came away feeling less alone, more connected and ready to keep going with learning how to reconnect with myself with kindness and compassion.”The Great Aussie Alcohol ExperimentJanuary 2026 intake – starts January 1If the Reset leaves you feeling curious about what might be possible with more support, the next step is The Great Aussie Alcohol Experiment – my boutique, trauma-informed program for cultivating a genuine take it or leave it relationship with alcohol, where drinking becomes a non-issue.Unlike many programs that don't begin until the following Monday, this one starts on January 1, with support from day one as the year turns.Early Bird detailsEarly Bird price: $497Early Bird payment plan: 4 x $148.50(Usually 4 x $297)Places capped at: 25 peopleEarly Bird available until 26 December or until sold outThis is an extraordinary celebration price marking six years since I took a 30-day break in January 2020, a decision I never imagined would change my life in the way it did.What people say about the Great Aussie Alcohol ExperimentSimone“Emma has this amazing ability to help you dig deep to find the real reason you've used alcohol to deal with life. She asks in a way that feels gentle and safe. Over the month I was able to remove the layers, look inward, and reframe my future choices using the tools Emma helped me develop. The sense of community and not feeling alone or broken was a huge bonus.”Clare“Having taken part in other alcohol programs, Emma's was a breath of fresh air. She brings a wealth of knowledge and looks at you as a whole person, not just your drinking. She helps you understand where your triggers come from and supports you to work with them in a safe and compassionate environment.”Toni“Emma is like a ray of sunshine. This experiment meets you wherever you are. She taught me that it's okay to be unapologetically imperfect and reminded me of the importance of self-love. I finished the experiment with the skills and confidence to trust myself again.”P.S.You don't need to label yourself.You don't need to decide anything forever.If alcohol has been taking up more space than you'd like, this is a very kind place to start.

This one's for every woman who's ever felt guilty for wanting things to feel easy.For so long, I believed business had to be hard. That if I wasn't sacrificing time, energy and sleep, I wasn't doing it “right.” But I've been on a personal mission to let go of that belief.And here's the truth I've found: ease is allowed.When I used to create visibility strategies for clients at a PR firm, it took me about twenty hours to build out one plan. That was thousands of dollars' worth of work. Now? With the support of AI, I can create those same plans faster, make them deeper and more useful for my clients, and actually spend more of our time together on the nuanced, human conversations that matter.That's why I created the Ease & Alignment with AI Bundle—a collection of more than 30 free resources, available September 12–October 12, designed to help you:Cut down the time it takes to plan and make decisionsBuild systems that stop you from wasting energy on repeat tasksCreate content and marketing that flows more easilyStrengthen your boundaries so you don't burn outThis isn't about churning out more. I'm not interested in “do more, post more, hustle more.” What I care about is giving you back your time so you can actually live your life—whether that means taking a nap, going for a bike ride, or celebrating your birthday without your business falling apart.In this episode, we'll unpack:Why women feel guilty when things feel “too easy”The real reason AI isn't about doing more—it's about reclaiming timeHow AI tools support planning, systems, content, AND boundariesThe importance of experimenting with AI now as a core business skillWhat's inside the Ease & Alignment with AI Bundle (and how to grab it free from Sept 12–Oct 12)If you've been waiting for permission to let things be easy, this is it.
