Travel The World, Make Money, And Live A Life You Love Now…

Because I deserve to feel good in my life, not jus Because I deserve to feel good in my life, not just function in it.

And so do you!

One thing I’ve always believed is that **self-care shouldn’t become another thing on our to-do list.**

I like to think of it as a buffet. A whole collection of things that make me feel good.

Journalling, tarot, meditation, beach walks, music, dancing, sleep, time with friends and a little magic. ✨

I don’t need to do ALL of them every day. I just need to choose what I need.

And sometimes self-care means protecting my energy, switching off the news or simply doing less.

Especially when the world feels heavy.

So I’m curious...

What’s on YOUR self-care buffet?

What’s one thing you could bring back into your week that would help you feel more like yourself?

When the world feels heavy, how do you take care of YOU?

The past six weeks have been a LOT.

Illness, travel, motherhood, business and life. I’ve been running on very limited capacity, and self-care has felt more like survival.

Now I’m focusing on three words:

Replenishment. Nourishment. Restoration.

Because I deserve to feel good in my life, not just function in it.

And so do you!

What do you see when you look at this photo? I sh What do you see when you look at this photo?

I shared it the other day, and the responses were “Oh, how lovely!” “So precious!” “Enjoy those cuddles!”

And I get it. But that wasn’t what I was trying to say.

I’d been organising our house for hours. I was exhausted, overstimulated and finally lay down for ONE minute.

Within seconds, T’Challa jumped on me and Finn curled up under my arm.

And I thought, REALLY?! Can I just have ONE minute?!

My husband was sitting there too, but everyone came to Mum. 😂

I KNOW how lucky I am to have these cuddles. I treasure them, and one day I’ll miss them terribly.

But in that moment, I didn’t want to be cuddled. I wanted space. Nobody touching me or needing anything from me.

There’s this expectation in motherhood that we should treasure every moment. When we express that we’re struggling, people often remind us of the beautiful parts.

I experienced this during pregnancy too.

I know it comes from a good place, but sometimes we’re not asking to be reminded of the good things.

Sometimes we’re trying to tell you we’re NOT OKAY.

I’ve been so exhausted lately that even affection I usually love can feel overwhelming.

And yes, perhaps I need to go and lie down in the bedroom. Although sometimes that door opens too! 😂

Finn actually moved shortly afterwards and lay down with Matt, which was lovely.

But this photo made me think about how we interpret other people’s experiences.

You might see a beautiful moment between a mother, her child and her cat. And it IS that.

But I remember how exhausted I was.

Both things can be true.

I love my son deeply. And I can also feel overwhelmed and desperate for time to myself.

Perhaps I need to make my asks clearer, but I AM having these conversations privately with my husband, family and dear friends.

Not everything needs to be shared on social media.

A picture can say a thousand words, but it can also be interpreted a thousand different ways.

I’m still Mum, even when I lie down.

But I’m also Emma. And sometimes Emma needs a minute too. ❤️
New hair. New energy. Time for a little reintroduc New hair. New energy. Time for a little reintroduction! 💃

Hi, I’m Emma Lovell!

There’s been a LOT of internal change happening over the past couple of years, and plenty of business changes too.

In case you didn’t know, I have THREE businesses! 😂

✨ Emma Lovell | The Bleisure Coach

I help people create a life they love NOW, not someday, combining business, travel and self-care.

I’m a coach, speaker, MC, podcast host and author of The Art of Bleisure.

✨ @restandreceiveretreats | Retreat Consulting

I help coaches, business owners and retreat hosts create meaningful, well-planned and profitable retreats through consulting, courses and strategic support.

I also specialise in India and South Asia, partnering with luxury travel company Indus Bound.

✨ @retreatmehappy_ | Discover. Connect. Retreat.

I’m the proud custodian of Retreat Me Happy, a business I acquired last year.

We’re building a global platform connecting retreat guests, hosts, venues and suppliers.

And here’s something that’s changed…

I’m not currently focused on hosting my own retreats.

I’m LOVING supporting the people who create them!

My next retreat? Attending one of my client’s retreats in India this November. 🥰

After 17 years in business, I’ve realised all these parts of my work fit together beautifully.

Business. Travel. Connection. Helping people bring their dreams to life.

It’s all part of my Bleisure Life!

And just like my new hair, the outside is finally catching up with everything evolving on the inside.

Here’s to continuing to evolve, grow and SHINE! ✨
Ready for the GLOW UP! ✨ I’ve been saying 202 Ready for the GLOW UP! ✨

I’ve been saying 2026 is going to be my GOLDEN year.

But in many ways, it hasn’t really felt that golden. Even though I’ve kept saying it, believing it and trying to stay true to it.

Turns out I’ve been doing a LOT of internal work.

Lots of changes. Lots of challenges. Lots of things shifting beneath the surface.

I’ve recently been learning more about my astrology, thanks to the amazing @kristygray__ , and a session with her helped me understand SO much.

I’ve had my progressed moon in Scorpio and in my sixth house.

You don’t need to know all the astrology jazz, but basically, I’ve been in an internal shitstorm for the past two years, with the last 18 months adding another layer. 😂

And now I’m about to shift into Sagittarius and my seventh house over the coming weeks.

A new chapter. A new energy.

And I felt like it was time for the outside to catch up with everything that’s been happening on the inside!

One of my words for this year was VITALITY.

And at times, my energy, capacity and vitality have been seriously challenged.

But I’m ready to walk the walk, talk the talk and start truly SHINING again.

Inside AND out.

Living up to my Leo stellium. Leo, Leo, Leo! 🦁

And what better way to celebrate than a hair glow-up?!

Thank you to the amazing @deltagoodrem and her absolute GOLDEN era for the hair colour inspiration.

It’s come out a little Jennifer Aniston, Rachel in the later Friends seasons, and I’m NOT mad about it.

Didn’t we all want The Rachel at some point?! 😂

I haven’t had colour in my hair for 14 YEARS!

And even though I’m a natural blonde, it feels so good to bring back a little extra sunshine.

It feels fresh. It feels golden.

It feels like ME.

So, what do you think of my glow-up? ✨💛
