Michael Douglas | Apologies, Forgiveness and Learning to Speak your Truth

I'm just going to say it, I'm a fully signed-up Michael Douglas super fan after this conversation. He's a hairdresser and entrepreneur with over 35 years in the beauty industry, and how Michael and I have never 'properly' met despite our years in the same space is beyond me but thank goodness we put that right by 'meeting' for this conversation.

It's not an exaggeration to say that a lot of what Michael said really stayed with me after we spoke; his thoughts on karma, forgiveness and apologising gave me pause for thought and were really helpful in helping me get clarity on some of my own 'life stuff'.

We covered a lot of ground in this chat and perhaps what I loved the most was that he was happy to answer anything, to explore any subject in a way that was unguarded and very real.

Have we gone from a few inspirational unicorns to a sea of unicorns, which has made unicorns feel a bit boring? I ponder this and, thanks to a listener request, have some new inspiration.I've been fascinated by the Lucy Letby case and how things have changed from being 'banged to rights' to 'oh, she might be innocent' and I think Redhanded's episodes were incredible and well worth watching/listening to.  @RedHandedthepod  links below:The original episodeThe 'we were wrong' episode📰 I also share a potentially amazing new product tackling hair loss.

    ✍🏼 Subscribe -- https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/the-emma-guns-show/id1102982843So, this is what a relapse feels like? | The Emma Guns Show📝 I've spoken at length about my body image, weight loss and recovery from binge eating disorder, so I suppose it's only right that I share what it felt like to relapse. Recovery isn't linear, but this 'blip' was one that I couldn't fend off with my usual tactics but I did manage to navigate it differently from when I was in the gripes of binge eating disorder.I hope sharing this makes someone else feel a little bit better or, at least, a little less alone.📰 I also wang on about hydration sachets in this episode including:Ancient & BraveHumantraWillpowders👗 In this video I'm wearing:Vieve Varsity Sweatshirt, £45.*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/

    ✍🏼 Subscribe -- https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/the-emma-guns-show/id1102982843Maybe I don't need to be that organised? | The Emma Guns Show📝 I spent a lot of time trying to get my head around Notion, but what I've realised is that perhaps I was trying to turn myself into someone who I fundamentally I am not. Perhaps a little organised chaos is fine?📰 Let's also talk about the state of the world, but not for too long and how people seem to be getting less and less tolerant of each other.🧴 This really is a beautiful moisturiser. It might be a gel designed for combination to oily skin types, but I'm off the belief that anyone will enjoy the instant quench and comfort it gives skin.
