  • What the In-Between Actually Feels Like`
    Mar 23 2026

    This one’s about the in-between — when you’ve put in the effort, you’ve tried to do things “right,” and somehow it still feels like everything’s a bit of a mess.

    I share what this season has felt like for me in motherhood and career, and what happens when you hit that wall and don’t really know what comes next.

    This episode is really to say, if you’re in that space too, you’re not the only one, and we will navigate this together.

  • What Does Releasing Control Really Do When It Feels So Hard?
    Nov 8 2025

    Join me today for a quick touch base point before my son's procedure. When I was recording this it had me reflecting on the awareness I have that sense of control gives me comfort, but that the comfort is short lived when the long term outcome is actually improved by me releasing control.


    When was the last time you had to release control knowing the outcome would be better because of it?

  • Breaking Free from Limiting Beliefs: You Deserve It All
    Oct 29 2024

    In this episode of Worthy to Receive, we explore the limiting beliefs that often hold women back from experiencing true love and abundance in their relationships. Host Emma DeSouza identifies the common thoughts like “I’m not enough” or “I don’t deserve the love I want” that shape how we show up in our lives and in love. These beliefs, often formed through past experiences or societal pressures, can keep us from fully embracing the relationships we desire.

    Emma dives deep into how these limiting beliefs are created, the ways they impact our self-worth, and how they keep us from receiving love and support. She also shares actionable techniques to reframe these beliefs and cultivate a mindset of abundance. By learning to recognize these unhelpful patterns and replace them with empowering thoughts, you can open yourself up to the love, fulfillment, and joy you truly deserve.


    In this episode, we cover:

    •Common limiting beliefs that stop women from receiving love and support.

    •How these beliefs are formed and the impact they have on relationships.

    •Techniques to challenge and reframe limiting beliefs to create space for abundance.

    •Practical steps to start feeling worthy of the love you desire.


    Key Takeaways:

    •Limiting beliefs are stories we tell ourselves, not absolute truths.

    •By becoming aware of these beliefs and questioning their validity, we can start to shift our mindset.

    •Reframing limiting beliefs with empowering thoughts is the first step toward opening yourself to abundance.

    •You deserve to receive as much as you give—whether in love, support, or joy.
