  • Excellent insight of our beautiful minds

    Emma presents human psychology in a way that’s kind, helpful and quite frankly beautiful.

    I’m listening every day to the back catalogue of episodes. They’re all so wise and fortifying. I hang onto every word that Emma says as she’s so articulate and wise. I always come away from an episode feeling moved at how beautiful our minds are, thanks to Emma’s perspective.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Is this it? Dial Emma: What am I Missing?
Q: How do I know whether something really is missing from my life, or whether this is just what getting older feels like?
Turrell suggests identifying what is actually missing and whether it is still wanted, rather than confusing nostalgia or grief for a different life with a need to leave the life he has. She advises honest conversation with his wife, small changes before irreversible ones, and acceptance of what cannot be changed.
Why can one person ruin my entire mood? Dial Emma: What am I Missing?
Q: Is there a way to feel better, or is the only solution to move away?
Emma says Sarah can make choices about contact, family gatherings, and boundaries without moving or obtaining others' approval. She encourages her to return to activities she enjoys, talk with her husband, and explore what drives her reaction, while recognizing that moving could still be right if it reflects a life she genuinely wants.
Why can’t I just be happy for other people? Dial Emma: What am I Missing?
Q: How do I stop being jealous and become a better friend?
The listener can explore what her friend's success represents and what needs or dissatisfaction her envy may reveal. She should take responsibility for her sarcastic comments and apologize, while recognizing that feeling jealous does not make her a bad friend.
"Caring feels like part of who I am": Aimee Cliff on empathy, emotional sensitivity and how to switch off
Q: How do I know when my emotional sensitivity is genuine intuition and when it's anxiety taking over?
It's tricky; look for patterns where you assume others are upset and question if that story is based on genuine intuition or fear.
"Caring feels like part of who I am": Aimee Cliff on empathy, emotional sensitivity and how to switch off
Q: Is it possible to care too much?
It's not possible to care too much. The depth of caring is a beautiful thing, but it needs to come with boundaries.
