Today's podcast is with Emma Cannon, a best selling author, speaker, mentor, acupuncturist, mystic and mother who, I am very sad to say, passed away a few weeks after I recorded this conversation. Initially drawn to Emma's renowned work in fertility, I was struck by her profound wisdom and spiritual depth as soon as I stepped into her magical home. What began as an exploration of fertility evolved into a much broader discussion about life itself. I sought Emma's insights into her philosophy on life, shaped by her experiences supporting countless couples and navigating her own journey through years of chemotherapy. Cancer which is often referred to as life's greatest teacher, underscored Emma's understanding of existence.As our conversation unfolded, I couldn't help but delve into Emma's mystical side. With curiosity piqued by my growing fascination with the history of witches, I posed the question to Emma, prompting a smile and a candid acknowledgment of her affinity with the mystical realm. It became evident that Emma's ability to guide souls and find peace transcended the conventional boundaries of medicine and ventured into the realm of magic. I hope you enjoy this interview with the amazing and mystical Emma Cannon. My heart and love is with her family, and many thanks to them for encouraging me to release this interview after her passing. Emma, you magical being. I'm so pleased our conversation is finally out with the world.Follow Poppy: @poppyjamieBuy Poppy's book: https://amzn.eu/d/9PiMG3pA big thank you to Kama Ayurveda.
