Turning 30 Podcast

What if the key to everything you’re calling in — love, purpose, peace — isn’t in your mind, but in your heart?

In this deeply grounding and expansive conversation, Emma sits down with Estelle Bingham, therapist, spiritual teacher, and author of Manifest Your True Essence, to explore a whole new way of thinking about manifestation — one rooted not in mindset hacks or vision boards, but in emotional truth, inner child healing, and the heart’s intelligence.

Estelle shares how our deepest beliefs, past experiences, and ancestral patterns shape what we attract, and how learning to listen to our hearts can transform not just what we call in, but how we relate to ourselves along the way.

• What “heart-led manifestation” really means, and how it differs from the traditional mindset-based approach.
• Why the unconscious mind and unhealed inner child can block what we’re trying to manifest.
• How ancestral and intergenerational trauma (epigenetics) can quietly shape our patterns in love, money, and self-worth.
• The power of self-compassion, curiosity, and trust when you’re tired of “doing the work” but not seeing change.
• How to move from survival mode into embodiment, and why your heart is your most powerful manifestation tool.
• A simple, science-backed heart practice you can do anywhere to reconnect with yourself and create coherence between your heart and mind.

If you’ve been doing everything right (journaling, therapy, affirmations) but still feel stuck, this episode will meet you where you are.

It’s for the woman who’s exhausted from trying to fix herself, who’s wondering if she’s fallen behind, and who’s craving a softer, more embodied way forward. Estelle and Emma remind you that you don’t need to “earn” love, peace, or joy, you just need to come home to yourself.

Because healing and manifestation aren’t about forcing outcomes. They’re about remembering who you are, and trusting that the universe responds to the frequency of your truth.

Estelle Bingham, known as “The Heart Whisperer”, is an holistic therapist, healer, and metaphysical teacher. For over two decades, she has dedicated her life to guiding others through profound journeys of healing and empowerment, helping them embody their true joy and potential.

In this deeply personal episode, Emma sits down with psychotherapist and mind-body expert Nicole Sachs to explore the unexpected connection between our emotional world and physical symptoms.

For the first time publicly, Emma shares her own journey through debilitating postpartum health issues - eczema, joint pain, vertigo, and the crushing fear that something was seriously wrong. What she discovered changed everything: her body wasn't broken. It was speaking.

Nicole, author of Mind Your Body and creator of the Journal Speak method, explains how chronic pain, anxiety, and mystery symptoms are often our nervous system's way of protecting us from overwhelming emotions we haven't processed.

Through stories, science, and radical self-compassion, this conversation reveals why the cure you're seeking might not be in a prescription — it might be in your own pen.

Inside this episode:

• Why your chronic pain or anxiety might be your body's alarm system, not the actual problem, and what that means for healing

• The Type T personality: how perfectionism, people-pleasing, and high achievement can literally show up as physical symptoms in your body
• Journal Speak explained: Nicole's specific 30-minute daily practice (20 minutes of raw, unfiltered writing + 10 minutes of meditation) that helps release the emotional reservoir fuelling your symptoms
• Emma's vulnerable story of postpartum chronic illness, medical despair, and the moment everything clicked when she discovered Nicole's work
• The neuroscience of why your nervous system creates pain as protection. And how self-compassion is the missing piece most of us never learned
• How anxiety, insomnia, and obsessive thought loops are interchangeable with physical pain, and why healing one often heals the other

If you're in your 30s and your body feels like it's betraying you (or if anxiety has become your constant companion), this episode is for you.

Maybe you've been told there's nothing wrong, or that you'll just have to "manage" your symptoms forever. Maybe you're exhausted from trying everything and getting nowhere.

You're not broken. You're not making it up. And you're definitely not alone.

What if the pain, the panic, the sleepless nights aren't life sentences, but invitations? Invitations to finally listen to the parts of yourself you've been too busy, too scared, or too conditioned to silence.

This work isn't about perfection. It's about presence. It's about pausing long enough to ask: What is my body trying to tell me?

You deserve to feel at home in your own skin. And that journey? It can start today.

Ever feel like you're stuck in a pattern you desperately want to break but don't know how? In this raw and honest solo episode, Emma tackles one of the most common struggles women face in their 30s - knowing you need to change but feeling paralyzed by uncertainty.

Responding to a vulnerable question from a member in her Turning community, Emma dives deep into why we get stuck in inaction even when the universe is "screaming" at us to make a move. She breaks down the real reasons behind our fear of uncertainty, why we don't trust our future selves, and the dangerous belief that someone else will come save us from our current situation.

What You'll Learn:

• Why fear of uncertainty keeps you stuck (and how to embrace it instead)
• The truth about trusting your future self to handle whatever comes
• How to shift from "feel the fear and do it anyway" to actually taking action
• Why you need to accept that you're going to fail - and why that's actually good news
• The "one life mentality" that creates urgency without panic
• Practical steps to stop waiting and start moving toward what you want

Key Takeaway: Life meets you at the level of your audacity. Nobody is coming to save you - you have to save yourself. And the good news? You're absolutely capable of handling whatever comes next.

Perfect for anyone who's tired of their own patterns, knows they need to make a change, but feels stuck in analysis paralysis.

What happens when the relationship never comes… but the desire to become a mother won’t go away?

In this raw and powerful episode, Emma sits down with a very special guest (also named Emma) who shares the story behind her boldest decision yet: becoming a solo mum by choice (SMBC) at age 40.

After spending her 30s in the cycle of heartbreak, therapy, dating disappointments, and fertility panic, and going through a big break-up at age 39, Emma reached a breaking point. Tired of waiting and knowing she wanted to have a family of her own, she chose herself instead and started the journey to solo motherhood. She now has a beautiful one year old son and is sharing her journey and life as an SMBC on her Instagram.

This isn’t the glossy Instagram version. It’s the messy, deeply human story of letting go of the fantasy, grieving the love that never arrived, and finding power in a path she never expected to take.

Together, we talk about what it means to actually take control of your timeline and how liberating, terrifying, and beautiful it can be to rewrite your story when life doesn’t go to plan.

Inside this episode:

• The hidden grief of being a woman who “did all the right things” and still ended up alone
• The silent pressure cooker of fertility timelines and the panic that sets in after 35
• How Emma reframed solo motherhood from Plan B to powerful, aligned choice
• What dating, therapy, and burnout taught her about self-worth and agency
• The spiritual and emotional reckoning that comes before big, life-altering decisions

Whether you’re curious about solo motherhood as a potential future option, questioning your own timeline, or grieving the gap between where you are and where you thought you’d be, this one’s for you.
