Becoming Unavailable for Mediocrity | with host Emily Duncan

In this solo episode, I get real about mediocrity… why it's sneaky, why it sounds like a "reasonable compromise," and how it steals your future. I break down the Excellence Spectrum (below average → average/baseline → excellence), show you how to spot self-negotiation in real time, and give you practical tools to "negotiate up," set standards and boundaries, and run the Excellence Equation: (standards + consistency + integrity), over time. We'll rate core life areas (fitness, career/finances, relationships, spiritual health), pick one standard to raise this week, and use micro-upgrades to create macro transformation. If you're ready to stop tolerating average and become magnetic to excellence, this one's for you. Download, share, and let's raise the bar today.

Why Every High Performer Needs Silence and Solitude | with host Emily Duncan

Today I'm breaking down why a silence and solitude practice is essential in a world drowning in inputs. If you've been feeling overwhelmed, confused, and unclear trying to navigate everyone else's opinions, constantly scrolling, or defaulting to what you're "supposed to" think and do, this one's for you. I walk you through how I structure true silence (no music, no phone, no podcasts), my favorite timing windows, and a simple way to use inquiry prompts so you're not just "sitting there," you're actually sharpening discernment. We talk about starting small, embracing pauses, being okay leaving without a final answer, and learning to balance emotion with logic so you can find your truth instead of rushing to the most convenient conclusion. You'll leave with a practical framework to follow the thread with curiosity, regulate your inner world, and move through life more solid and self-led…online and IRL. Download, share with a friend, and let's build the kind of focus that actually moves your life forward.

We explore: How to navigate friendship breakups with honesty and integrity. Why women need permission to have preferences in their relationships. The difference between "my truth" vs. "the truth," and how language can heal or harm. Reclaiming spirituality after losing connection to religion.

Self-Compassion as a High-Performance Tool: Why Beating Yourself Up Is Holding You Back | with host Emily Duncan

In today's episode, I'm diving into a topic that has changed both my personal life and my performance as a high-achieving woman: self-compassion as a tool for high performance. I used to believe that being relentlessly hard on myself was the only way to succeed. But over time (and through conversations with brilliant minds like Dr. Karin Nordin), I've learned that self-compassion is not weakness. It's not laziness. It's one of the most powerful performance tools you can have in your arsenal. Inside this episode, I break down: Why self-criticism fails long-term and how it sabotages performance. The three psychological components of self-compassion and how to actually use them. The paradox of failure: why avoiding failure keeps you from success. How pairing compassion with accountability accelerates growth. My personal journaling framework that blends honesty, compassion, and radical accountability. If you've ever thought "compassion is soft" or worried it would make you lazy, this episode will challenge everything you've believed about performance. By the end, you'll see why self-compassion is a non-negotiable in your high-performance tool belt. Download, subscribe, and share this episode with your ambitious besties, because the more we learn to fail forward with compassion, the further we'll go.

From Panic Attacks to Freedom: Fitness, Mindset, and Being Famous in Your Hometown | with Dr. Jordan Shallow and Emily Duncan

In this episode of EMBody Radio, I sit down with Jordan Shallow… chiropractor, strength coach, powerlifter, educator, and founder of Pre-Script (and an industry OG, let's be honest) for a raw and wide-ranging conversation on fitness, mindset, and navigating life in the digital age. Jordan opens up about the disconnect that almost ended his career, the lessons from living out of his car and traveling the world teaching seminars, and why so many creators are losing touch with the real reason we train. Together, we dive into the traps of social media, the "mind virus" of entrepreneurship, and the importance of building real-world receipts before trying to scale online. If you've ever felt the pressure of curating an online persona, struggled with detachment from your mission, or wondered how to ground yourself in a chaotic world, this episode will hit home. You'll learn: Why your story has to match your lived experience (or life will force a correction). How social media warps reward systems, and how to stay anchored in real results. Why Jordan says the key to longevity in fitness is to "be famous in your hometown." The danger of getting lost in self-help culture instead of living life. How freedom, risk, and "being dumb enough to keep going" shaped Jordan's journey. Whether you're a fitness professional, content creator, or someone striving for personal excellence, this episode will challenge the way you see growth, resilience, and success.

"Soft Girl Era" Didn't Heal Me, It Broke Me | with host Emily Duncan

In this solo episode, I'm getting really real about my experience navigating the "soft girl era" and the ways it almost made me lose herself entirely. From moving across the country and completing my Pilates certification to untangling the spiritual programming that labeled my ambition as "too masculine," I'm sharing a raw unfiltered account of reclaiming my voice, my vision, and the part of me that's always been driven to go, do, and become. Whether you've dabbled in the neo-spiritual space, been told to "be more in your feminine," or just feel like you're drifting away from your fire, this episode is a must-listen. In today's episode, I cover: Why I moved away from the neo-spiritual space The dangers of romanticizing passivity in the name of femininity How the "soft girl era" disconnected me from her goals, health, and sense of self The difference between balance and harmony, and why high performers need the latter Why abandoning structure isn't healing (and what real integration looks like) I'm NOT anti-softness. I AM very pro reclamation of the ambitious woman's right to FUCKING GO FOR IT without shame.
