Welcome to the Peaceful Power Podcast and today we are chatting with Emily Gough on learning how to trust yourself again.

Introduction

Emily and I participated in Jill Coleman’s Best of You group last year. I interviewed her podcast co-host Kate Hoerner on the podcast last month and I brought Emily on to talk more nutrition. Emily has a no diet approach and really encourages the women she works with to learn how to trust themselves and ditch the marketing mindset we have grown so used to over the years.

Background on Emily

A Registered Holistic Nutritionist, I’m all about helping you figure out how to eat in a way that works for real life. I’m obsessed with dark chocolate, photography, and snuggling with any dog I can find.
Years ago I was overtraining and exhausted from chasing down every new diet that popped up. After doing some research and using myself to experiment on, I started figuring out that there is a right way to eat for each of us, and it’s going to look different for every single person.
My goal is to help women make the small, simple changes that lead to big results in everyday life. I have a direct approach and will tell you what you need to make positive changes so you can create the life you love.

I'm Andrea - your Seasonal living guide

LEarn My Story

My work is rooted in the belief that healing is not linear, but cyclical—like the seasons, like the womb. I help women reclaim their vitality through the sacred tools of Ayurveda, embodied movement, and intuitive rituals drawn from Mother Nature herself.

After the birth of my first son in 2016, Ayurveda became more than a practice—it became my lifeline. The postpartum window cracked me open and reoriented my path, deepening my devotion to supporting women in every season of life—from the fertile soil of postpartum to the sacred shifts of midlife.

I’m also the host of the Peaceful Power Podcast, where I explore how ancient wisdom meets modern life, and the author of two books on cyclical living—Divine Body Wisdom and Ayurvedic Approach to Healing Your Menstrual Cycle.

When I’m not in sacred space with clients, you can find me playing tennis, watching Hallmark mysteries, sipping my morning coffee with reverence, or adventuring on nature trails with my two boys and husband.
