Room to Grow Podcast with Emily Gough

REGISTER NOW: “Your Grown A$& Woman Era” 12-week group program (starts May 15, 2024)

I’ve never released an episode like this before. Today, you’re going to hear the first-hand story of one of my private coaching clients, Melissa. Melissa has generously agreed to talk intimately about our six months working together as she worked to overcome the shame, heartbreak and pain of being the “other woman” in a man’s affair for almost 30 years.

Here, she details her remarkable healing and transformation during our time working together. I don’t use the word “transformation” often…but Melissa has undergone a complete energetic and physical shift...you’ll hear it in her voice.

I’m so excited for you to hear Melissa’s story, and to inspire you that this inner work is for anyone ready to rediscover your true, powerful self. If you’d like to work with me one-on-one, apply here and let’s get started!

In this episode, Melissa and I talk about:

-Why Melissa contacted me about coaching

-Being the “other” in a cheating relationship

-Melissa’s breaking point

-How to heal from infidelity

-Jealousy in a cheating relationship

-Wanting to be chosen in a relationship

-Choosing yourself before choosing them

-Overcoming shame and guilt

-Embodying personal development and integrating what you’ve learned

-Nervous system regulation

My new book “You Grow Me: The Next Level Human Philosophy of Love, Sex and Romantic Connection” co-written by Dr. Jade Teta (Next Level Human podcast) is available now! It’s a big “f**k you” to unrealistic Hollywood love stories, and instead offers a fresh perspective on how personal growth is intertwined with romance. You can buy your copy of You Grow Me on Amazon here. Please read and let me know your takeaways! Email me or DM me on Instagram.
