90. Making Your Health A Priority with Gabby Reece
What if the secret to lasting health isn't found in the perfect workout or diet plan, but in how you show up to your relationships every single day?
In this grounding episode of Why Isn't Everyone Doing This?, Emily sits down with Gabby Reece, volleyball legend, entrepreneur, mother of three, and co-founder of Laird Superfood, to explore what it really means to make health a priority in a world designed to keep us distracted.
Gabby reveals her most powerful practices, from getting sunlight in her eyes first thing in the morning to her daily "weeding" ritual that keeps her relationships clean and her emotional slate clear. We dive deep into why she believes "it's all mental" and how every interaction becomes an opportunity for spiritual growth.
💡 In This Episode, We Explore:
✨ Why sunlight and having the right "teammate" are Gabby's desert island essentials
✨ How to parent through autoimmune challenges without becoming the "food police"
✨ The "food vs. fun" framework that removes shame from eating ✨ Why discipline creates freedom and how to build sustainable habits ✨ Gabby's daily practice of emotional "weeding" and why it prevents relationship disasters
✨ How to speak truth with love and clear the air before small issues become big problems
✨ The spiritual practice of using every human interaction as consciousness training
Gabby shares profound wisdom about accountability without shame, why guilt is "from the devil," and how she's built a publicly traded company while maintaining her values and integrity.
This conversation will challenge you to stop making excuses, start with one small change, and remember that your health isn't separate from your life—it IS your life.
🔥 Ready to stop believing health has to be complicated and start with one small act today? Hit play now.

89. Dancing With Your Darkness with Sarah Jenks

🎉 Enrollment for the 2025 cohort of Ziva Magic is officially OPEN! Step into embodied manifesting, alchemize emotional blocks, and activate your inner magnetism. Join us now → https://makemagic.zivameditation.com.
In this profound episode of Why Isn't Everyone Doing This?, Emily reunites with her beloved friend Sarah Jenks, ordained priestess, mother, and founder of the 13 Moon Mystery School, for a conversation that will forever change how you relate to your pain, your shadows, and your power.
Sarah opens up about her core wound of wanting to be liked and accepted, and how everything in her life—business, marriage, friendships—started crumbling as she approached her priestess ordination. Instead of trying to fix or bypass these patterns, she learned to descend into what we call the "sacred sewer" to meet the parts of herself she thought were unlovable.
In This Episode, We Explore:
✨ How to work with internal darkness (micro) and world pain (macro) simultaneously
✨ Why suffering is actually an avoidance of going all the way into the darkness
✨ The revolutionary practice of creating ceremony around your shadows
✨ How to sit with shame and rage until they alchemize into creative power
✨ The suppressed history of Mary Magdalene as Christ's equal and initiator
✨ Why the removal of the Divine Feminine was psychological warfare
✨ How your capacity for darkness directly expands your capacity for joy
Sarah demonstrates her process for descending into the depths, feeling everything fully, and allowing the natural alchemy that happens when we stop fighting our feelings and start dancing with them. We explore how this work isn't just personal healing, it's essential preparation for serving the world during these intense times.
This conversation bridges ancient feminine wisdom with practical shadow work, showing how the compost of our pain becomes the fertile ground for our greatest gifts.
🔥 Ready to stop running from your shadows and start dancing with them? This episode will show you exactly how to turn your perceived shit into alchemical gold.

88. Choosing To Live A Sacred Life with Jess Magic
What if the most profound spiritual practice isn't found in a temple, but in how you show up to your ordinary Tuesday morning?
In this deeply moving episode of Why Isn't Everyone Doing This?, Emily dives into the sacred with Jess Magic, modern-day medicine woman, singer, and high priestess of presence who has spent years facilitating healing from underground ceremonies to global stages.
Jess reveals the beautiful truth that life itself is the ceremony - every breath, every meal, every moment of connection can become a portal to the divine when we approach it with reverence and intention.
💡 In This Episode, We Explore:
✨ How to transform ordinary moments into sacred practices
✨ The loneliness epidemic and ceremony as an antidote to disconnection
✨ Why your morning coffee ritual might be more powerful than you think
✨ Jess's journey from seeking external healing to becoming a medicine woman herself
✨ How to hold space for others while honoring your own healing process
✨ The difference between surviving your days and celebrating them
✨ Why creating beauty and meaning is essential soul care, not just self-care
Jess shares profound insights about what it means to live with reverence in a world that's forgotten how to slow down, how plant medicine work opened her to facilitating healing for thousands, and why the most powerful ceremonies happen in the spaces between the big moments.
This conversation will remind you that you're not just here to get through your to-do list, you're here to create, to connect, and to remember the sacred nature of simply being alive.

How Ziva Magic Helped Heal Decades of Grief and Trauma | Ziva Magic Series, Ep. 7
What if the feelings you've been avoiding your whole life are actually the key to your liberation?
🎉 Enrollment for the 2025 cohort of Ziva Magic is officially OPEN! Step into embodied manifesting, alchemize emotional blocks, and activate your inner magnetism. Join us now → https://makemagic.zivameditation.com
In this deeply moving bonus episode of Why Isn't Everyone Doing This?, we meet Signy, one of Emily's longtime students whose transformation story will leave you speechless. This is what happens when someone courageously says yes to feeling their feelings instead of fighting them.
Signy's journey began in an ultra-conservative, religious household where women were meant to "have babies, not speak," and having opinions or emotional needs was met with severe consequences. When her father took his own life when she was just eight years old, she learned to push down waves of grief and anger, developing a script of "stay quiet, don't take up space, it's not okay to have needs."
This episode captures Signy's incredible evolution from someone who initially responded to Ziva Magic with "What are you talking about, Emily? You're a meditation teacher—you're supposed to help me be calm and less stressed!" to someone who now describes emotions as welcome guests rather than unwelcome intruders.
💡 In This Episode, You'll Discover:
✨ How childhood trauma creates scripts like "stay quiet" and "don't have needs" that follow us into adulthood
✨ Why traditional therapy kept Signy stuck in sadness for days after each session while embodied practices created lasting relief
✨ The exact moment she realized her emotions weren't trying to destroy her—they just wanted to be heard
✨ How learning to "give anger and sadness the microphone" stopped them from stealing it at inappropriate times
✨ Why her boss specifically asked her "Why aren't you losing your mind when everyone else in your position is?"
✨ The remarkable health transformation her doctor documented: better cholesterol, inflammation markers, and blood sugar across the board
✨ How she naturally stopped drinking without struggle once she learned to feel her feelings instead of numbing them
This conversation is a masterclass in how healing happens not by avoiding our pain, but by moving through it with the right tools, container, and support.
🔥 Ready to experience this transformation yourself?
Join Emily Fletcher for Ziva Magic, the revolutionary embodied manifesting course that helped Signy transform decades of suppressed trauma into her greatest source of power.
This isn't about positive thinking or vision boards, it's about becoming an energetic match for your dreams by clearing what's stored in your body and learning to feel your feelings as fuel for manifestation.
