Embracing It: Recent Episodes
Emma Dobson
Hi, I’m Emma Dobson and welcome to my podcast! I’m here to talk about the good, the bad, and the ugly. I want this podcast to be an open and honest space where we embrace it all. I have always felt that in order to experience the good in life we must overcome the bad. I’m here to help take away some of the fear of what that means for you on your journey. Episodes will include my own stories, lessons, and experiences. Let’s have the hard conversations and grow together as we learn from them. My goal is to create episodes that offer both support and clarification to some of life’s most troubling experiences. You don’t have to find answers alone, let's embrace life together!
Welcome back to the Pod!
It's been a hot minute but I'm back with a long overdue update for you all. I talk a lot about breakups here (I am sure you can guess why). If you're going through it like me then I hope this episode helps you feel a bit more at peace with the idea of independence! Thanks for listening - Emma
Welcome to Episode 3!
This episode is in honour of NEDA week having just wrapped up. If there was one thing I wish I knew when I was struggling to accept my ED, it's that symptoms look different for everyone. Your struggle is equally as valid as anyone else's. Please ensure to visit https://nedic.ca/ if you or someone you know is struggling with an eating disorder.
Welcome to Episode 3! Dear, Fitness Industry. In this episode, I talk about my relationship with fitness and the industry itself as someone who is now in the recovery process. This episode is not designed to bash any community. There are parts of this industry that are still in my everyday life and parts that I have let go of. I'd love to hear your thoughts on this. Thank you for listenting!

Welcome to Episode 24!
I am joined by one of my fave guests Courtney Crites! Join us this week as we share some dating advice. If there is one piece of advice we hope you take away from this week's episode it is that there are various signs we tend to ignore that show when a person just might not be THAT into you. AND THAT'S OKAY! We hope you learn how to recognize these signs and move far far far along onwards towards better things.
Feel free to leave a review and share xx

Welcome to Episode 15!
Today we are exploring toxic productivity and how expectations as a student can drive us to sacrifice our basic needs as a human all for one simple grade. We also dive into a new practice called "not efforting" which has been an essential tool for me as someone who could never stop trying to be "productive" 24/7. I hope you enjoy it! xx

Welcome to Episode 14!
This week we are talking about the "Summer Body". This term is one of the key factors in how I developed my ED. However, this term is so much more than my own experience. Summer is a season meant for memories, fun, and new experiences. I can promise you it is very difficult to do all of this when you are focused on achieving this so-called "Summer Body" we all hype about. So join me as I explain a few of my wonderful follower's definitions of their own "Summer Body".

Hello everyone and welcome to Episode 13!
I have faced this hard realization lately which is that I tend to place a lot of my worth in the hands of other people and their opinions of me. I am actively trying new ways to redefine my worth. Feel free to challenge how you define your own worth.

Welcome to Episode 11!!!
Today I welcome an incredible inspiration of mine to the show, Maryann Samreth. I first came across Maryann on TikTok when I was going through my own struggles. From her voice, I have learned so much about how to heal and cope with heartbreak! Although I am sure I have more to learn and more heartbreak to come, conversations like this help me to recognize I have the power and strength to set boundaries and make decisions that are best for me. I hope this episode helps you take your power back xx

Welcome to Episode 9!
In this week's episode, I talk about the "comparison trap". In a world where we are surrounded by social media, it is hard not to compare ourselves to everyone's life on Instagram. However, we can come out of this pattern. NO ONE HAS THEIR LIFE TOGETHER. I share how I am proof of that and how I learned to stop giving a damn about other people's "lives" on social media. I hope you enjoy it! xx

Welcome to Episode 6! In this week's episode, I am thrilled to be talking about being alone. Alone time and being alone used to TERRIFY me. It wasn't until I was faced with actually having to practice being alone that I began to value and embrace my alone time! I hope that one of these tips helps you realize you have the strength to provide for yourself.

Welcome back everyone! Firstly I want to say thank you to all who shared their love and support for the episodes so far. I can't wait to build this supportive community and to keep sharing my own experiences to let others know they are never alone.
This episode is a big one for me. 2020 has been a year of learning, growth and hardships. I'm sure for many of us this year wasn't easy but I am still thankful to have learned from this year and I hope this episode will allow you to think about what 2020 had you learn.

Hi, I’m Emma Dobson, and I have a passion to inspire others to become the best version of themselves. After hitting rock bottom and finding my strength I have developed a new outlook on life.

I have always felt that in order to experience the good in life we must overcome the bad. I’m here to help take away some of the fear of what that means for you on your journey.
