- 1 hour 1 minuteHealing Attachment Styles - Rewiring Your Relationships, Core Wounds, and Emotional Patterns | with Thais Gibson and Emily Duncan
In this episode, I sat down with Thais Gibson, the founder of The Personal Development School and a true pioneer in attachment healing.
We broke down the science behind anxious, avoidant, fearful, and secure attachment — what each one looks like, how it's formed, and how to heal and reprogram those patterns using neuroplasticity.
We talked about how your attachment style is actually your relationship to yourself first, not just how you show up in love — and how to finally meet your own needs instead of chasing people to meet them for you.
This is one of those episodes you'll want to take notes on — it's loaded with practical tools, from how to stop refeeding old wounds to how to build emotional safety within your nervous system.
You'll hear us dive into:
- What attachment theory really means and why you aren't born with a style — it's conditioned.
- The six pillars of Integrated Attachment Theory.
- How to identify and rewire your core wounds through repetition and emotion.
- The real difference between self-soothing and self-numbing.
- The unique "superpowers" of each insecure attachment style.
- Tangible 21-day practices to start creating security from the inside out.

25 November 2025, 10:00 am - 1 hour 45 minutesHaving a Boyfriend is "Embarassing" Now? Unpacking Partnership | with Emily Duncan and Chris Beal
In this tandem episode, I'm unpacking a question posed by the viral Vogue article: "Is having a boyfriend embarrassing now?"
We'll talk about the cultural shift that's made women feel like being in a healthy relationship somehow makes you weaker, less independent, or less "girlboss." I share how I've seen internet feminism swing too far into performative man-hating, why that still feels like centering men, and how to reclaim power, partnership, and sovereignty at the same time.
I also open up about what it's looked like in my own life — from losing myself in unhealthy relationships, to re-rootingwho I am, and now finding myself in a relationship that's healthy, supportive, and expansive.
This is a conversation about nuance, leadership, and emotional maturity, and about learning to build a life that's self-led and open to love if you want to pursue partnership.
You'll hear:
- Why "decentering men" still secretly centers them
- How social media's "soft hate" toward partnership keeps women disconnected
- The difference between self-abandonment and healthy interdependence
- What true feminine sovereignty looks like inside a relationship
- How to build your identity so partnership is additive, not definitive

18 November 2025, 10:00 am - 44 minutes 52 secondsEmbodied Identity: The Difference Between Looking Hot and Being "Her" | with host Emily Duncan
In this solo, I dig into the real difference between looking hot and "being her": the woman whose inner world and outer world actually match.
I share why "aesthetic integrity" matters, how to spot performative confidence vs. the grounded kind, and what energetic congruence looks like in everyday choices (fitness, relationships, business, faith).
You'll hear the three pillars I use to build embodied confidence, and practical prompts you can steal this week to move from performing to becoming.
We dive into:
- The unpopular truth of living in a visual (and yes, aesthetic) world, and how to make that work for you (not against you).
- Aesthetic Integrity vs. "costumes": aligning how you present with who you really are.
- Energetic Congruence: why confidence = energy meeting your standards (not just your feed).
- Embodied Identity: acting like the woman you say you are before the world sees it.
- Simple prompts to collapse the gap between pretending and becoming, starting today.
If this lands, share it with a bestie and tell me one thing you're doing this week from embodied confidence, not performance.

4 November 2025, 10:00 am - 1 hour 9 minutesFrom Girlbossing too Close to the Sun to Soft Girl-ing too Close to the Moon
In this solo, I tell the real story behind my burnout and the pendulum swing that followed… girlbossing too close to the sun, soft-girling too close to the moon, and the grounded way I came back. I walk through the exact moments that broke me open (ADHD meds, record revenue paired with a personal low point, getting blindsided in business), why the spiritual detour didn't actually make my life better, and the simple, non-sexy habits that rebuilt my fire, my voice, and my results.
You'll hear about my DRC formula (Drive, Recovery, Clarity) for managing energy, how I'm integrating softness without losing ambition, and the 14-day return-to-drive protocol you can start today. If you're a high-performer who lost her spark, or you're scared success = burnout, this episode is your bridge back.
Topics:
- The 2022 scale-up that led to record revenue…and a deeper personal crash
- Why I define burnout as misallocated energy (and how to rebalance with DRC)
- The spiritual season I had to question, detach from, and redefine
- Returning to intensity through fitness and focused work
- Boundaries that actually protect your ambition (Slack hours, one day offline)
- The 14-day protocol: training, protein/fiber, sleep, focus blocks, spiritual stillness
- Narrowing my message to increase impact and income

28 October 2025, 9:00 am - 1 hour 15 secondsStop Begging for Results You Haven't Earned: How Truly Influential Women Work, Date, and Lead | with host Emily Duncan
In this solo, I get real about the gap between who we say we want to be and how we're actually showing up. I walk you through my "mirror test" to evaluate your career, relationships, and self-leadership with radical honesty. We dig into what makes a woman truly promotable (before anyone gives her the title), why doing only what's in your job description won't move you up, and how to stop begging for outcomes you haven't built the habits to earn. If you're ready to become the woman you would hire, promote, date, and follow… this one will light a fire and give you a framework to act on it today.
You'll learn:
- The exact questions I use to audit my professional standards, and why leadership begins long before the title.
- Why "doing your job" isn't grounds for elevation, and how initiatives and outcomes set you apart.
- The relationship litmus test: Would you date you? and how self-talk shapes who you attract.
- The mindset shift from "deserving" to earning, and why worthiness ≠ entitlement.
- How to visualize, then micro-act like your next-level self without burning your life down.

7 October 2025, 9:00 am - 58 minutes 8 seconds$600 Million in Revenue and Counting: Lessons in Scaling, Self-Belief, and Bold Leadership | with Scarlett Leung and Emily Duncan
In today's episode of EMBody Radio, I sit down with Scarlett Leung — a powerhouse operator and entrepreneur who has scaled businesses from scratch to over $600 million in revenue. Scarlett brings a rare balance of creative vision and business logic, and in this conversation we break down the real skills and mindset shifts required to build at the highest levels.
We dig into what it actually takes to grow a company beyond the startup phase, the realities of leadership, and why blending creativity with discipline is the ultimate entrepreneurial advantage. Whether you're just starting your journey or scaling past 7+ figures, this episode will light a fire under you.
What You'll Hear in This Episode:
- Scarlett's journey from CPA to scaling businesses to $600M+ in revenue
- The hardest transitions in growth: why the leap from $500M to $1B is the steepest
- The essential business/logical skills every entrepreneur should cultivate (finance, ops, HR, ecom)
- Why creative intuition is equally critical, and how Scarlett balances both sides
- The danger of staying loyal to team members who can't scale with the business
- How to hire and assess talent at each stage of growth
- The role of grit, adaptability, and willingness to learn in long-term success
- Cross-functional leadership: why marketing, supply chain, and finance must all communicate
- Scarlett's reflections on community, connection, and creating opportunities for collaboration
Why You Should Listen
- Think like a $600M operator — learn what separates hobbyist entrepreneurs from leaders who scale into the hundreds of millions.
- Spot your own ceiling — understand when you might be the bottleneck, and how to bring in the right people to take your business higher.
- Balance logic with creativity — discover why finance, ops, and HR matter just as much as vision, innovation, and connection.

30 September 2025, 9:00 am - 45 minutes 13 secondsBecoming Unavailable for Mediocrity | with host Emily Duncan
In this solo episode, I get real about mediocrity… why it's sneaky, why it sounds like a "reasonable compromise," and how it steals your future. I break down the Excellence Spectrum (below average → average/baseline → excellence), show you how to spot self-negotiation in real time, and give you practical tools to "negotiate up," set standards and boundaries, and run the Excellence Equation: (standards + consistency + integrity), over time. We'll rate core life areas (fitness, career/finances, relationships, spiritual health), pick one standard to raise this week, and use micro-upgrades to create macro transformation. If you're ready to stop tolerating average and become magnetic to excellence, this one's for you. Download, share, and let's raise the bar today.

25 September 2025, 9:00 am - 31 minutes 52 secondsWhy Every High Performer Needs Silence and Solitude | with host Emily Duncan
Today I'm breaking down why a silence and solitude practice is essential in a world drowning in inputs. If you've been feeling overwhelmed, confused, and unclear trying to navigate everyone else's opinions, constantly scrolling, or defaulting to what you're "supposed to" think and do, this one's for you.
I walk you through how I structure true silence (no music, no phone, no podcasts), my favorite timing windows, and a simple way to use inquiry prompts so you're not just "sitting there," you're actually sharpening discernment. We talk about starting small, embracing pauses, being okay leaving without a final answer, and learning to balance emotion with logic so you can find your truth instead of rushing to the most convenient conclusion.
You'll leave with a practical framework to follow the thread with curiosity, regulate your inner world, and move through life more solid and self-led…online and IRL. Download, share with a friend, and let's build the kind of focus that actually moves your life forward.
