Description

Welcome to 'Bubbling Out' - where we spill the tea on how to nail (and fail) at leadership and personal growth.

I'm Emily aka the Leadership Doula, and I am SO glad you've stumbled into our little corner of the internet!

Bubbling Out is where we get real about leadership and wellness - no fake smiles or corporate jargon allowed. Whether you're bossing it at work or just trying to keep your houseplants alive (we see you, and we're proud).

This podcast is your new sanctuary for:

✨ Embracing your embodied leadership style with somatics 
🌱 Growing a backbone of steel and stress resilience 
🧘‍♀️ Mastering the art of saying "no" without hiding under your desk
🤲 Setting boundaries that would make even me (boundary queen) jealous!
💖 Connecting your beautiful mind, body, and soul to your work

We dive into the stuff that matters in solo episodes with me and in guest episodes with names from some of the biggest companies in emerging tech and fintech.

Topics range from healing your inner child and creating somatic awareness to leading like a boss -- a nice one, not the nightmare kind.

From Slack wars to leadership transparency, here’s how to make hybrid work… well, work. In this episode, I’m chatting with Rory Brimmer, Director at Turo UK, about what it really takes to create a culture that doesn’t suck in a hybrid work environment. Rory’s journey is wild—from turning down a Big Four gig (mid-interview, no less) to jumping headfirst into startup life at Turo. Spoiler: it worked out. We talk about why culture matters (like, really matters), how to build trust when half the team is remote, and the sneaky ways burnout creeps in when you’re leading from your kitchen table. Rory also spills on a brilliant idea called the “Great Debate,” where even interns bring game-changing ideas to the table. If you’ve ever felt like hybrid work is a constant battle between flexibility and connection, this one’s for you. It’s equal parts relatable and packed with takeaways you can steal for your team. Here’s What We Get Into: [5:28] Productivity Peaks – Why your 11pm “power hour” is valid and how to build schedules that actually work for humans. [10:17] Office vs. WFH – The real talk on why fully remote isn’t always the dream (but also why commutes suck). [17:27] Culture That Doesn’t Feel Forced – What makes people want to stay, even when there’s no free lunch in sight. [24:05] Transparency = Trust – How being radically open with your team (yes, even about the budget) changes everything. [33:52] Leap of Faith – Rory’s mic-drop moment in a Big Four interview and why startups turned out to be the perfect chaos for him. [42:57] The “Great Debate” Hack – The fun team ritual that brings unlikely ideas (and healthy conflict) to the surface. [50:08] Protecting Your Energy – Why being “always on” is overrated and how to block time like a pro leader. It’s the perfect mix of practical tips, good vibes, and some solid perspective shifts on how to lead in a way that feels good—not draining. 🪩 don't forget to subscribe to the podcast for a bi-weekly break and pick-me up from the chaos of leading a team.
