Hey.
2
Hi.
3
How are you?
4
Yeah, I am feeling a bit awkward today,
5
if I'm being honest, because I have to sit you down and have a serious conversation with you today.
6
That's really what it feels like.
7
Jokes aside, it literally feels like I'm sitting down a friend to have a serious conversation.
8
And that's never fun.
9
Yes, it can be productive and healthy and beautiful,
10
but that doesn't mean it's easy.
11
That doesn't mean it's fun.
12
Hell, it's never fun.
13
Today, I'm going to be giving you some news that I consider to be bittersweet.
14
For those of you who enjoy Anything Goes,
15
it might be shitty news.
16
For those of you who hate Anything Goes,
17
oh my God, this is going to be your favorite episode I ever make.
18
In fact, turn it up.
19
Turn it up.
20
You're going to love this one.
21
Let's just rip off the band-aid, okay?
22
Let's stop beating around the bush.
23
I am taking a little podcast break.
24
Okay.
25
Yep.
26
Taking a little podcast break.
27
Now let's rip the bandaid all the way off.
28
Cause I was just ripping it halfway off.
29
Let's rip it all the way off.
30
Now.
31
I don't know how long the break's going to be.
32
I wish I had answers for you.
33
I don't have answers for you.
34
I'm taking an indefinite podcast break.
35
Now I know what you're thinking.
36
Emma, that means quitting.
37
That means you're done forever.
38
Emma, where did this come from.
39
This is coming out of left field.
40
I feel betrayed by you.
41
Fuck you.
42
You're a fucking bitch.
43
You suck.
44
Go fuck yourself.
45
Go punch yourself.
46
Go into the backyard and beat yourself up.
47
You're a bitch and you suck.
48
And I'm unsubscribing and I'm blocking you and you suck.
49
Honestly, if you feel that way about this news that I just gave you,
50
I take that as a compliment because the fact
51
that you enjoy this show enough to be mad at me is actually really nice.
52
But yes, okay?
53
I understand all these feelings if you're feeling this way.
54
I also can't tell if I'm like,
55
am I being too self-important?
56
Like, does no one even give a fuck?
57
You know what I mean?
58
Am I like, okay, you guys,
59
let's rip off the bandaid with this bad news.
60
I'm taking a podcast break and everyone's like, okay.
61
Okay, all good.
62
See you later.
63
Don't care.
64
I don't know.
65
But sometimes when I speak about myself or what I do in this way to the audience,
66
I'm like, wait, am I completely delusional and no one really cares?
67
And I'm like, oh, I hope you're not mad at me that I'm doing.
68
And then like, everyone's like, yeah, no one's mad.
69
No one cares.
70
Well, just assuming that there's one person out there that is maybe a bit bummed by this news.
71
I get it.
72
It did kind of come out of left field.
73
However, it has been something I've been ruminating on for a while now and been avoiding,
74
but I ultimately had sort of an aha moment about a month ago where I realized it was time to do this.
75
And once I knew that I needed to do it,
76
it was like, okay, I got to do it.
77
And I consider this episode,
78
okay, that I'm making right now to be bittersweet.
79
I don't think it's sad because I actually feel really inspired by this decision.
80
It's not like I'm making this decision because I'm feeling really down in the dumps.
81
I'm feeling really bummed out.
82
I'm feeling really burnt out.
83
I'm making this decision because I know it's time to grow and evolve and restructure.
84
Go back to the drawing board, career-wise for me.
85
And that's really scary because when something's doing well,
86
when something's working, it is not necessarily intuitive to say,
87
OK, now I'm going to take a break and go back to the drawing board.
88
You know, it's not intuitive.
89
It's intuitive to just continue.
90
However, in my soul, and I wish I could explain it, but I can't.
91
In my soul, I woke up one day and I knew
92
that I needed to go back to the drawing board because I knew that the way I was doing this podcast,
93
the way that I was not even beyond this podcast,
94
the way that I was structuring my work life was not working for me.
95
And it's up to me to step back,
96
make necessary changes, and then re-enter.
97
And here's the thing.
98
I'm not like disappearing off of the internet.
99
The thing is with the podcast is that the podcast is a scheduled thing, right?
100
Whereas everything else is not.
101
So that's why it feels necessary to come here and say,
102
I'm taking a podcast break.
103
I'm not doing that with anything else.
104
And I've never done that with anything else in the past because it hasn't been on as rigid of a schedule.
105
But going back to what I was saying,
106
this is a bittersweet episode,
107
in my opinion, because I'm not making this decision from a place of weakness, of sadness.
108
It's not coming from a place of burnout.
109
It's coming from a place of excitement,
110
inspiration, and the desire to restructure things in a way
111
that will actually allow me to create more of the things I want to create.
112
Because I've always been somebody that likes to do everything myself.
113
I've always been someone that has to have her little grimy hands on every single thing that she does.
114
And listen, I will continue to be that way.
115
However, there are various structural shifts
116
that I can make in my career without sacrificing integrity
117
that would actually allow me to create more than what I'm creating now.
118
Allow me to put out more than what I'm putting out now.
119
if I just take a step back,
120
go back to the drawing board and figure out how.
121
And I know I need to do this because,
122
again, I like woke up one day and just knew.
123
And whenever I have intuitive feelings like that,
124
I really try to honor them.
125
And I will say I've been kind of feeling that for a little bit and kind of ignoring it.
126
And then I woke up one day and it was really loud and I just knew.
127
and now we're here and this decision has been made.
128
But it's ultimately because there's more things that I want to do.
129
And in order to do those things,
130
I need to restructure, if that makes sense.
131
And I don't really want to elaborate on what that means because I tend to prefer to work in silence,
132
figure it out on my own and then come back when it's finished, you know?
133
And so I'm sorry for being vague, but that's one thing.
134
Another thing is, in addition to more of a technical restructuring of my career,
135
I also am feeling really inspired by the idea of not being on a schedule,
136
not being on a schedule at all,
137
which is a luxury and a privilege that I do not take for granted that I'm able to do that.
138
But I would love to just have some time to like
139
create freely this idea of like freedom where I could make whatever I wanted.
140
If I wanted to make a podcast episode one week,
141
I could do that.
142
If I wanted to make four YouTube videos,
143
we don't get any ideas,
144
but I'm just saying like,
145
if I wanted to make four YouTube videos one week,
146
I could do that.
147
If I wanted to make 50 Instagram reels, I could do that.
148
If I wanted to spend an entire month just working on Chamberlain coffee and that's it.
149
If I wanted to, I would like to have a period of time where I could experience that without a schedule.
150
And I feel like that would be really inspiring for me.
151
And I want to give myself that.
152
So that's another thing.
153
And last but not least,
154
I've been podcasting for seven years now.
155
I think I started in 2019 with Stupid Genius and then I started Anything Goes.
156
Stupid Genius was my first podcast.
157
If you remember Stupid Genius,
158
whoa, I love you that you ever listened to that.
159
And then I think I started Anything Goes in 2021,
160
maybe 2020 I don't remember but it's been like six seven years now
161
and I have not taken more than you know maybe a
162
month off since I started really I mean maybe maybe between stupid genius
163
and anything goes listen you get the idea I've been going pretty consistently for six
164
or seven years
165
and I think psychologically I think it would be nice to
166
experience a little break where I just can live my life
167
and not think about how I'm going to make an episode about it I think that would be really beneficial for me,
168
my mental health, the health of my mental,
169
I think it would be really nice for me,
170
and ultimately healthy to have that.
171
You know, the interesting thing about podcasting is that it's usually weekly,
172
with very few breaks during the year.
173
That's sort of the common structure.
174
Maybe a week off here or there for some shows,
175
maybe a month off for the holidays for other shows.
176
But for the most part, it's pretty consistent.
177
But if you think about TV shows or musicians,
178
a season will be put out or an album will be put out.
179
And then there's a bit of incubation before the next sort of era,
180
the next season or the next album or whatever.
181
And I feel like I need a little incubation phase.
182
However, I don't necessarily think this is going to be an incubation phase
183
because I do have things that I want to just like make for fun,
184
not on a schedule.
185
And so I don't think I'm not like disappearing off the internet.
186
I'm not like going full incubation phase, like disappearing.
187
There's even a chance that I might start posting more just on my other YouTube channel or on Instagram.
188
Like I don't even, I don't even know.
189
It's kind of cringe to talk about this stuff out loud too,
190
being like, listen, this is my, this is my strategy.
191
Like I don't, I don't,
192
I don't really have a strategy.
193
This episode is kind of all over the place,
194
but to be honest, my brain is kind of all over the place.
195
I think that's pretty representative of where my head's at.
196
And I wish I had a more clear direction to explain to you,
197
but I don't really have that.
198
And I think that's why I put off making this episode for a few weeks,
199
because I was like, let me just take a few weeks to gather my thoughts and figure out where I'm going.
200
But I don't think I can even discuss it yet.
201
I think I need a little bit more time.
202
But I'm feeling really positive.
203
Okay.
204
I'm feeling really inspired.
205
I do have a lot of ideas of things that I want to try.
206
However, because they're just things I want to try,
207
I don't necessarily want to talk about them because it's like,
208
if it doesn't work out,
209
I don't end up liking the types of things I want to try to make for entertainment for you all.
210
If I don't end up liking doing those things,
211
if they don't work out,
212
I don't want to feel like I made a promise I couldn't keep.
213
but ultimately I want to entertain you all I want to hang out with you all
214
that is my number one priority and I feel like I could be doing
215
that even better than I'm doing now I'm like 99.9% confident in
216
that but I also know that in order to do
217
that I have to sort of wipe the canvas clean
218
and paint a new painting of like what that looks like because what I've been doing which is mainly you know,
219
focusing on the podcast is not allowing me to sort of diversify the type of entertainment
220
that I get to make for those of you who want to consume it.
221
And diversifying my output for you all in creating various different types of entertainment for you all is really important to me.
222
And I need to restructure things so that I can feasibly do that.
223
Because it's been really hard for me to balance all the different mediums that I enjoy creating content for.
224
It's been really hard for me to do it all because I do everything myself.
225
It's been like very challenging for me to create a satisfying amount of content for all the different platforms
226
that I want to create content for and entertainment for, if you will.
227
And so that's what I need to go figure out.
228
And then hopefully I come back to you with things that you really enjoy to watch and listen to,
229
because that's the thing too.
230
I love podcasting.
231
I really, really do enjoy it.
232
And it's something that I've been doing very consistently for so many years that I,
233
the thought of like taking a little break from it is kind of incomprehensible to me.
234
But my ultimate love and passion is in visual entertainment.
235
That's where my heart lies.
236
But I also really love podcasting.
237
So I got kind of into this sort of routine of making two episodes a week for three years,
238
and then this year, down to one episode a week.
239
And that was so all-consuming that it left me not much time to create visual video-style content,
240
and that's something that I really miss doing,
241
that I want to be able to get back to.
242
But it's very consuming because I tend to like to edit things myself, et cetera.
243
I just need to figure out how I can do everything I want to do all at once.
244
You know what I mean?
245
And not have to sacrifice one thing to do the other,
246
if that makes sense.
247
And that requires going back to the drawing board.
248
And I just want to say to all of you who have listened to Anything Goes for the last,
249
what, five or six years,
250
I want to deeply thank you for hanging out with me.
251
Okay.
252
Truly.
253
I love this podcast.
254
I love hanging out with you all.
255
Anything goes is not going away forever.
256
Okay.
257
I can't give you a plan or a day.
258
I can't give you anything because I don't even know yet,
259
but just know that I'm here.
260
I'm not going anywhere.
261
And this is ultimately a decision I'm making so that I can create more.
262
Does that makes sense it's it's like it's ultimately very positive
263
and it's going to result in in there will be fruit
264
it will bear fruit this decision it's not like oh my god she's like quitting this
265
and now she's like because she fucking is a lazy sack of shit
266
and she's disappearing and she's gonna
267
because she's lazy you know it's not i promise you i promise you it's not
268
that i promise you it's that I've felt frustrated for years feeling like,
269
oh, there's so many things I want to do and I want to make for entertainment for these people.
270
And I don't have the fucking time to do all of it because I'm not structuring this properly.
271
And I've been struggling with that for years and I cannot do it anymore, you know?
272
And on top of that,
273
I'm inspired and have all these ideas of things I want to try,
274
but I haven't had time to try them because I've been in the minutia of,
275
you know, the sort of work life that I've structured for myself.
276
And so this is ultimately a very positive, productive, awesome thing.
277
And I'm excited because I am very deeply passionate about creating things for you.
278
Now, whoever you are, you know, it doesn't even matter.
279
Whoever you are who wants to consume it,
280
this is my ultimate passion and I want to be able to do it more.
281
So that's where this is coming from.
282
Seems a bit counterintuitive.
283
Seems a bit counterintuitive, but that's where it's coming from
284
and i deeply thank you all for supporting me in in this podcast
285
throughout the years i'm not going anywhere maybe i am for a little bit
286
but ultimately in the grand scheme of things i'm not going anywhere
287
and i really deeply cherish what we've created here
288
and i do not take it for granted and i'm not just running away or anything like that i'm weirdly like emotional.
289
I'm like, what the fuck?
290
Wait, why is this?
291
What is happening?
292
What?
293
Like my eye kind of got a little watery.
294
I was like, Ooh, what's that?
295
There's probably a trillion things that I am forgetting to say,
296
but my brain's kind of mush,
297
to be honest, because I think I had a lot of anxiety going into making this episode,
298
but I'm feeling a lot better now that we've communicated.
299
See, look at the power of communication.
300
What I've always said on this show,
301
anything goes, the power of communication.
302
It's powerful.
303
It really is.
304
I'm not going to lie.
305
I'm nervous because I think the second I stop recording this episode,
306
the second I turn off the buttons,
307
it's like, okay, Emma, now what the fuck are you going to do?
308
You know what you have to do,
309
but now you got to go do it.
310
It's kind of that.
311
And that's really exciting, but also a little bit terrifying.
312
Anyway, not to be overly parasocial,
313
but I do love and appreciate you all.
314
And I'm grateful that you all show up for me.
315
To those of you who do show up for me, I'm very grateful.
316
And I hope that you can feel my gratitude through the screen.
317
And with all of that being said,
318
I'll talk to you very soon.
319
And listen, again, you're going to be like, Emma didn't even disappear.
320
She like posted on Instagram and then she like randomly posted a YouTube video,
321
like,
322
or
323
and then she like randomly posted about like I don't know
324
I don't know what's happening I don't know what's happening
325
so you just have to just I'll probably talk to you sooner than you think
326
okay I love you all I love you and I'm gonna make you proud okay I promise you I will

シャドーイングとは？英語上達に効果的な理由
シャドーイング（Shadowing）は、もともとプロの通訳者養成プログラムで開発された言語学習法で、多言語習得者として知られるDr. Alexander Arguelles によって広く普及されました。方法はシンプルですが非常に効果的：ネイティブスピーカーの英語を聞きながら、1〜2秒の遅延で声に出してすぐに繰り返す——まるで「影（shadow）」のように話者を追いかけます。文法ドリルや受動的なリスニングと異なり、シャドーイングは脳と口の筋肉が同時にリアルタイムで英語を処理・再現することを強制します。研究により、発音精度、抑揚、リズム、連音、リスニング力、そして会話の流暢さが大幅に向上することが確認されています。IELTSスピーキング対策や自然な英語コミュニケーションを目指す方に特におすすめです。
