Talking with Emma: The feminist health coach
Talking with Emma is the podcast for women who are tired of feeling like their health is the one thing they can’t get sorted.
I’m Emma Wright — feminist health coach, author, and someone who knows exactly how exhausting it is to live like not matter how much you try, the way you eat and look is never quite “good enough.”
After years of controlling my food, exercising harder, and constantly feeling like a failure, I discovered something different — and more powerful:
Coaching tools that break free of patriarchal structures so you can powerfully change the way you think and feel - and take charge of your health the way you want to.
Each episode, I’ll share the exact tools I use with clients who want relief from the mystery of why health feels so confusing and out of reach — and who are ready to reclaim their power, with the calmness and confidence to reach for their goals.
If you’re ready to see where patriarchy has infiltrated the health and wellbeing industry and kept you in a cycle of blaming yourself and keeping yourself small, this podcast is for you.

18: What to Do When Getting Dressed Ruins Your Day
What to Do When Getting Dressed Ruins Your Day
We’ve all had those mornings. You get dressed, catch your reflection — or feel your clothes pinch — and suddenly the whole day feels hijacked. The shame hits hard, especially if you “know better” and still find yourself spiraling.
Here’s the truth: you’re not failing. You’re not weak. You’re not broken.
You’re learning a new skill — and like any new skill, it takes practice.
In this episode of Talking with Emma, you’ll learn:
- Why your brain still serves up those old body-shaming scripts — even if you’ve done the work.
- A three-step tool to handle the aftermath when getting dressed derails you.
- How to bring compassion instead of criticism, and why celebrating tiny wins makes change stick.
- Real client stories of women who moved from spiraling to steady — and what progress actually looks like.
By the end, you’ll have a practical way to calm the noise, reclaim your day, and start building a more empowered relationship with clothes and your body.
