Hey.

Hi.

How are you?

Yeah, I am feeling a bit awkward today,

if I'm being honest, because I have to sit you down and have a serious conversation with you today.

That's really what it feels like.

Jokes aside, it literally feels like I'm sitting down a friend to have a serious conversation.

And that's never fun.

Yes, it can be productive and healthy and beautiful,

but that doesn't mean it's easy.

That doesn't mean it's fun.

Hell, it's never fun.

Today, I'm going to be giving you some news that I consider to be bittersweet.

For those of you who enjoy Anything Goes,

it might be shitty news.

For those of you who hate Anything Goes,

oh my God, this is going to be your favorite episode I ever make.

In fact, turn it up.

Turn it up.

You're going to love this one.

Let's just rip off the band-aid, okay?

Let's stop beating around the bush.

I am taking a little podcast break.

Okay.

Yep.

Taking a little podcast break.

Now let's rip the bandaid all the way off.

Cause I was just ripping it halfway off.

Let's rip it all the way off.

Now.

I don't know how long the break's going to be.

I wish I had answers for you.

I don't have answers for you.

I'm taking an indefinite podcast break.

Now I know what you're thinking.

Emma, that means quitting.

That means you're done forever.

Emma, where did this come from.

This is coming out of left field.

I feel betrayed by you.

Fuck you.

You're a fucking bitch.

You suck.

Go fuck yourself.

Go punch yourself.

Go into the backyard and beat yourself up.

You're a bitch and you suck.

And I'm unsubscribing and I'm blocking you and you suck.

Honestly, if you feel that way about this news that I just gave you,

I take that as a compliment because the fact

that you enjoy this show enough to be mad at me is actually really nice.

But yes, okay?

I understand all these feelings if you're feeling this way.

I also can't tell if I'm like,

am I being too self-important?

Like, does no one even give a fuck?

You know what I mean?

Am I like, okay, you guys,

let's rip off the bandaid with this bad news.

I'm taking a podcast break and everyone's like, okay.

Okay, all good.

See you later.

Don't care.

I don't know.

But sometimes when I speak about myself or what I do in this way to the audience,

I'm like, wait, am I completely delusional and no one really cares?

And I'm like, oh, I hope you're not mad at me that I'm doing.

And then like, everyone's like, yeah, no one's mad.

No one cares.

Well, just assuming that there's one person out there that is maybe a bit bummed by this news.

I get it.

It did kind of come out of left field.

However, it has been something I've been ruminating on for a while now and been avoiding,

but I ultimately had sort of an aha moment about a month ago where I realized it was time to do this.

And once I knew that I needed to do it,

it was like, okay, I got to do it.

And I consider this episode,

okay, that I'm making right now to be bittersweet.

I don't think it's sad because I actually feel really inspired by this decision.

It's not like I'm making this decision because I'm feeling really down in the dumps.

I'm feeling really bummed out.

I'm feeling really burnt out.

I'm making this decision because I know it's time to grow and evolve and restructure.

Go back to the drawing board, career-wise for me.

And that's really scary because when something's doing well,

when something's working, it is not necessarily intuitive to say,

OK, now I'm going to take a break and go back to the drawing board.

You know, it's not intuitive.

It's intuitive to just continue.

However, in my soul, and I wish I could explain it, but I can't.

In my soul, I woke up one day and I knew

that I needed to go back to the drawing board because I knew that the way I was doing this podcast,

the way that I was not even beyond this podcast,

the way that I was structuring my work life was not working for me.

And it's up to me to step back,

make necessary changes, and then re-enter.

And here's the thing.

I'm not like disappearing off of the internet.

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

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

O que é a Técnica de Shadowing?

Shadowing é uma técnica de aprendizado de idiomas com base científica, originalmente desenvolvida para o treinamento de intérpretes profissionais. O método é simples, mas poderoso: você ouve áudio em inglês nativo e repete imediatamente em voz alta — como uma sombra seguindo o falante com 1-2 segundos de atraso. Pesquisas mostram melhora significativa na precisão da pronúncia, entonação, ritmo, sons conectados, compreensão auditiva e fluência na fala.
