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

Family 💖 The one you’re born with and the on Family 💖

The one you’re born with and the one you choose. 

In this photo, I have only one distant relative and my baby boy Finn. 
My one relative I am extremely close to, my dear Cuzzy Bill. 

But everyone in these pics is family! 

I love them so much & I feel so loved and seen by them all. 

It’s so easy. We are so supported. And we have fun! 

Tonight was a simple impromptu get together but it reminded me of the reason I travel 30 hours here and back home again, twice a year, every year. 

Because 💖 love matters. 

And it’s these simple joyful moments that I live for. They fill up my tank. 

My son has now visited the USA 7x. And spent time these people every single time. To him, they are family & this area is truly our second home. 

Feeling so grateful tonight for family, in all shapes and forms.

I’ve created a new non-negotiable for internatio I’ve created a new non-negotiable for international travel.

We’ve arrived in the USA 🇺🇸 and after 32 hours of travel, following two weeks of sickness, you get a little perspective.

My new rule?

Long-haul travel will ALWAYS include a stopover with a bed. 😂

Last time we came to the US, I booked a day-use hotel during our 13-hour layover. This time, I thought we could fly ahead instead.

We tried. We rushed through LAX, got held up at TSA, raced to the gate… and found ourselves number 22 on standby.

After a 14-hour flight with my five-year-old? No thanks.

So we went to the hotel.

The moment I walked into that room, had a shower and lay down horizontally, I messaged my husband:

This is non-negotiable from now on.

And no, we weren’t flying business class.

I always think, when we fly business, I’ll just sleep on the plane. But my dad and a friend both recently flew business and didn’t get a wink of sleep.

So I actually think I’ll keep this rule even for those future manifested business class trips. 😂

The hotel cost around $200 and, yes, I recognise the privilege of being able to make that choice.

But thinking about future Emma, it was worth every cent.

A shower. A bed. A safe place for my son to play while I rested. A RESET.

We’re still jet-lagged, but my nerves aren’t completely fried.

New rule: long-haul = stopover + bed.

What travel experience has created a new non-negotiable for you?

Did you catch our recent guest episode on The Emma Did you catch our recent guest episode on The Emma Lovell Show Podcast? 🎧

I’m joined by my brilliant client, friend and colleague Annie Reid from @media.atrium & @housemusic.au to talk about her creative career and the big idea she found the confidence to bring to life during our retreat in India.

House Music is an immersive sound and design experience coming to Melbourne in July 2027. And she just got her first grant! Congrats.

And Annie has BIG visions for where the project can go and all the resources that can come from it.

It’s a beautiful conversation about creativity, courage and asking yourself: what if it works?

🎧 Did you catch our recent episode? Perseveran 🎧 Did you catch our recent episode?

Perseverance: continuing towards a goal despite difficulties, delays or failures.

After nearly two weeks of influenza A and a secondary infection, I’m slowly finding my way back to myself.

In this episode, I share what perseverance has looked like across illness, 17 years in business, the relaunch of Retreat Me Happy and our dream of spending three months in India.

Because perseverance doesn’t always mean pushing through.

Sometimes it means taking the next step. 
Sometimes it means fiercely protecting the dream. 
And sometimes it means letting go of the plans draining the energy that dream requires.

Where are you being asked to keep going, and where is it time to let go?
