The Emma Guns Show
From the Vault | Estée Lalonde's greatest life lesson to date.
•
This episode was originally published in February 2023.
'm so glad to welcome Estée Lalonde back to the podcast, especially as this conversation coincides with some exciting developments in her professional and personal life. There's her body care brand Mirror Water and a new relationship...
Her career is a truly incredible one: she followed her boyfriend to London, became a part of the beauty blogging community and has gone on to make her social media and Youtube a wildly successful business. She has shared her life with millions of followers and as she evolves from influencer to businesswoman, she's opening up about the highs and lows of taking huge risks, knowing what you want from life, people and relationships and why you have to advocate for yourself.
I've known Estée for a few years now and I always come away from time spent with her feeling better for having seen the world through her eyes and, I'm just going to say it, I think this might be the best conversation I've had with her in the time we've known each other.
Estée is always honest, real and straight-talking so hearing her share her life lessons with no filter whatsoever was a real eye-opener. I learned a lot and I hope you do too!

Joining a Gym, Tittle-Tattle & Wild Swimming

After training with my friend and coach, Emma Storey-Gordon of The EC Method fame, I decided it was time to hit 'diesel mode' and join a gym. I've achieved LOADS with dumbbells in my living room, but to really see and feel those gains, I felt it was time to get to the gym, use the machines and start lifting more with a wider selection of weights. Who's with me?!👹 I knew discussing diet, fitness and weight loss would invite criticism and nastiness but this episode marks the last time we'll talk about it. From now on, it's block, delete and move on.🏊🏽 I went on the most incredible trip with OSKIA last week and, among other things, went wild swimming, which was an absolute revelation.👗 In this video I'm wearing:Mango off-the-shoulder t-shirt.*contains affiliate links.📧 Contact me:office@emmaguns.com👓 Read me:Subscribe to my Substack: https://emmaguns.substack.com/Follow me:📱 https://www.instagram.com/emmaguns/Trolls, Defending Jeremy Clarkson and How to Look Online.
25:38|This episode is brought to you by a migraine. If it feels all over the place, it's because I'm all over the place today thanks to a humdinger of a migraine that's left me feeling like a slightly lopsided, cloth-tongued, weepy-eyed wimp.With that said, there are things to discuss. Such as the reaction to my weight loss, why I want to defend Jeremy Clarkson and why being slightly 'perfect' online gets more engagement. From the woman who this afternoon posted a 'fashion' reel on Instagram with smudged eye makeup and her glasses on because of aforementioned migraine.Anyway, let me know your thoughts on all of this, whether it's on email office@emmaguns.com, on Instagram @emmaguns or over on my Substack.I need help.

Apparently... | The Emma Guns Show📝 So, this week was a gain when it came to my weigh-in but we're so close to the end and this really is the last bit to lose so I need to re-focus and get through this gain/plateau I'm on. In other news though, my weight loss 'effort' seems to be triggering for someone...We simply must talk about And Just Like That... and where I think The Real Housewives franchises could do a wee bit better...👗 In this video I'm wearing:Mango Sleeveless Vest.*contains affiliate links.📧 Contact me:office@emmaguns.com👓 Read me:Subscribe to my Substack: https://emmaguns.substack.com/Follow me:📱 https://www.instagram.com/emmaguns/This is the best thing about goal-setting...

I had to ask myself this when I realised I was back at my Weight Watchers goal weight from 2010. Will it feel different this time around knowing that my weight won't immediately start to creep up again and because the journey has been far more than weight loss and more about personal discovery and feeling good?📰 Though it might seem like I'm being unhelpful, this is why I never tell people what weights I'm using when I work out...👗 In this video I'm wearing:Arket T-shirt.*contains affiliate links.📧 Contact me:office@emmaguns.com👓 Read me:Subscribe to my Substack: https://emmaguns.substack.com/Follow me:📱 https://www.instagram.com/emmaguns/I Can't Believe I'm Telling You This!

32:28|✍🏼 Subscribe to The Emma Guns ShowI Can’t Believe I’m Telling You This… | The Emma Guns Show📝 First of all, a huge THANK YOU for all the incredible feedback I received after last week’s episode. Your emails and messages are so helpful and really do help me create the podcast, so thank you to everyone who took the time. Let’s kick off with an update on my Weight Loss Effort and how it feels now we’re over two and a half months into consistent strength training, high protein/low fat dieting and intermittent fasting.🌈 I have a dirty little secret about how I got my colours done, but I’m only telling you and I’m only saying it here…📰 Finally, I’ve noticed a shift in tone in the conversation around Ozempic recently. Have you noticed it to? Is it the easy way out and is it a way to lose weight that doesn’t involve consistency, dieting and regular exercise?👗 In this video I'm wearing:Mango Round-Neck T-Shirt in Brown.*contains affiliate links.📧 Contact me:office@emmaguns.com👓 Read me:Subscribe to my Substack: The Emma Guns ShowJournalist, podcaster and content creator specialising in beauty, health and lifestyle who has absolutely no time for woo-woo, nonsense or marketing spin.

But seeing as someone on social media - faceless account, of course! - has accused me of having a restrictive eating disorder, let's talk about it. For the record, I honestly can't see how making careful and conscious nutrition and training choices to increase muscle mass could be seen as resembling anything close to something restrictive. Do you know how much protein I eat in a day?!📧 Contact me:office@emmaguns.com👓 Read me:Subscribe to my Substack: https://emmaguns.substack.com/Follow me:📱 https://www.instagram.com/emmaguns/#weightlossjourney #bodytransformation #motivation #intermittentfasting #weightlossprogram #strengthtraining #perimenopauseweightloss #perimenopausefitness #weightlosschallenge #lose10lbs
