Four seasons of finally doing the things you say you want to do.
A year to make the money you want, doing what you love
— while enjoying your life right now.
And? You’ll create your 12-month result in 12 weeks — with joy as your success strategy.
Publish the substack. Book the writing retreat. Move to Paris.
Let yourself experience Deep Selfish Joy
This is about building a life made up of days where you pause to smile, actually go to your yoga class, and have the confidence, energy, and time to live life your way — fully resourced.
You’ll learn how to make money doing what you love, while enjoying your life now — not at the end of some 5-year plan.
With practical tools you can weave into the life you already have.
Because joy isn’t a luxury.
It’s the strategy.
Life Right Now:
You're the one everyone relies on.
Professionally, you're definitely getting things done (even if behind the smile you’re gently screaming).
But the rest of your life? A bit more tangled.
The writing retreat. The yoga teacher training. The weekend with no plans.
They keep getting pushed to “when things calm down.”
You know that you feel amazing when you run in the morning…
But you went to bed late (again), hit snooze, and now the day feels like it’s already lost at 9am.
Life feels fragmented — like the parts of you are fighting each other.
It’s. Exhausting.
And when you do take time for yourself?
Instead of delicious presence, it comes with guilt. A side of shame. A mental checklist of everything you “should” be doing instead.
You're running on empty, telling yourself you’ll make space... soon.
But if you’re really honest — hasn’t it always felt like this?
The joyful, energised, powerfully focused you?
Feeling more and more distant.
As does the joy.
The kind of deeply selfish joy that makes you wriggle in your chair with delight — because it’s just for you.
And that’s exactly the point.
WANT. SHED. NOURISH. BLOOM. BE.
YOUR SEASONAL ROADMAP
SPRING SUMMER AUTUMN WINTER
In Your First Season, Life Could Look Like This...
Your Money?
Starting to match the life you actually want — not the one you outgrew.
Like a neglected houseplant suddenly getting sunlight, it’s beginning to grow in the right direction.
Whether you're recalibrating after past decisions, building stability, or plotting your own Mr. Darcy-style DIY Pemberley — your money is working with you now.
Your Health?
Has shifted. Turns out you do have a yoga body — it’s just your body. And it loves yoga.
And Your Creativity?
It’s no longer something you squeeze into the margins.
You’ve got space to think, share, and make things that matter — whether that’s your next email, your book draft, or the first version of your offer.
You’re showing up visibly and joyfully — without draining yourself.
That’s just the first few weeks inside. One challenge. One season. Already, things feel different.
You might:
Launch your “no-settling” dating plan — led by joy, not scarcity
Invest in you — the version buried under burnout, people-pleasing, or grief
Finally pour your creativity into your dream — the site goes live, the fear fades, the momentum builds
This isn’t hustle. It’s a setting down what isn’t yours.
If you feel like you lost yourself, you didn’t.
You’ve always been here.
Now you get to take up space — with joy, momentum, and the lightness of nothing to prove.
Four Seasons. One Year. A Life That Fits.
This is a year of choosing yourself — season by season, project by project.
Of living in rhythm with your life — not racing it.
No rushing. No stalling. No falling off and starting over.
Just one clear rhythm that makes your life feel like it finally fits, in harmony with nature.
This time next year, you could be saying:
That was the Spring I woke to birdsong instead of my alarm and finally felt awake in my body.
The Summer I stopped pushing and started really living, said YES to the retreat
The Autumn I relaxed into ‘this is life now’, nourished, and activated my creativity.
The Winter I rested without guilt — and saw the ripple effect move through my life, relationships, work, and world.
Your life becomes a story told in seasons — not stress milestones you weathered and survived.
An adventure that’s rooted in joy.
Powered by clarity.
And above all in rhythm with you.
A year from now, you could:
Trust your intuition with your tools — not second-guess them
Build even deeper rituals around rest, nourishment, and play
Make brave decisions from joy, not fear
Feel your life instead of racing through it
And that dream that feels too fragile to say aloud?
We’ll build a sanctuary around it — until it’s strong enough to bloom on its own.
And you won’t be doing it alone.
I’ll be right there with you — guiding, coaching, cheering, untangling, and celebrating.
You’ll do this inside a community of humans who’ve also chosen unrepentant joy.
What’s Inside The Joy Studio
This is a 12-month guided experience to help you make money doing what you love
— while enjoying life as an international woman.
Each season you’ll set a 90 day goal that brings harmony to your ambitions, we call them the Projects.
You’ll get tools, coaching, community and rhythm that actually fits your real life.
Here’s how we do that:
The Joy Journey:
12 Weeks, 5 Phases, One Result
This isn’t a course you power through.
It’s a method you apply — again and again — to stay connected to your energy, ambition, and joy.
Your Joy Journey follows the Joy Ambition model — a cycle that helps you move from clarity to creation to integration.
In 12 weeks, you’ll create your 12-month result, while learning a process you can use for every future goal.
Each step comes alive through short podcast lessons, journal prompts, and practical tools.
Everything is designed to fit into your real life — whether you’re walking in nature, cooking dinner, or taking a 10-minute break. You’ll be learning how to create time and space while you live it, not in a vacuum.
Phase 1: WANT
Decide what you want, with honesty and ambition.
Week 1: Who are you and what do you want? (Define your 12-week goal in your welcome 1:1 call)
Week 2: Upgrade your mind & unlock your superpower (build emotional awareness, rewire patterns, learn to work with your nervous system)
Phase 2: SHED
Release what no longer serves you so you can move forward lighter.
Week 3: How to take decisions (remove indecision, stop self-sabotage, set boundaries)
Week 4: Nourishing your mind & body (rest as action, digital wellbeing, creativity, movement)
Phase 3: NOURISH
Fuel your energy and focus so you can sustain momentum.
Week 5: The Fear & Failure Success Formula (make fear your ally, redefine failure, create your success formula)
Week 6: A modern way to set goals (authentic ambition, money, visibility, simplifying)
Phase 4: BLOOM
Take visible action and expand into your next level.
Week 7: Working in flow & the 12-hour week (time design, perfectionism antidotes, falling in love with your life)
Week 8: Money (heal your money story, create rituals, plan, expand impact)
Phase 5: BE
Integrate your growth and embody your new reality.
Weeks 9–12: Momentum & Balance (guided daily reflections and action steps, practising new self-perceptions, integrating all five phases into daily life)
👉By the end of 12 weeks, you’ll not only have taken powerful action toward your 12-month goal, you’ll also know how to lead yourself with joy again and again — in business, relationships, and life.

Your Coach & Joy Studio Founder, Emma
The Joy Studio was born from one key decision (easy to see looking back, not at all clear at the time!):
To stop trying to fit my life into a shape that looked “good” — and start building one that actually felt right.
In 2021, I found myself in a crumbling French cottage, post-breakup, with my dog, a coaching certification… and a gut feeling.
An insistent, sometimes annoying, sometimes tantalising thread I couldn’t ignore.
So I grabbed it and followed it, along the wimbly, windy, stumbly path that felt wild, beautiful and terrifying all at once.
I trained as a Time Hacker coach, rebuilt my business with one joyful offer, cut my work week from 80 hours to 12, and discovered how rest, creativity, and structure could coexist — beautifully.
The Joy Restoration model I now teach is the same one I live by.
And the same one I’ve used to help women around the world reconnect to what they really want — and go after it.
Our imaginations are limited to what we’ve experienced before, so even when you let yourself do as we do in The Joy Studio and dream extravagantly?
The reality will still be a 1000 times more incredible than you can imagine right now, and that knowledge is why I’m smiling so delightedly at what’s in store for you right now!
How do I know you can achieve your ‘impossible’ goal in 3 months? Because i’ve done it again and again, and have guided my clients through the same process.
I see you, I know what you’re capable of and my mission in life is to let you discover that yourself too, in your own time, at your rhythm, enjoying the journey.

From Our Joy Studio Members
Working with Emma has been truly transformational. In just the first month, she helped me overcome procrastination, improve the way I speak to myself, and brought clarity and focus to what felt like a dark tunnel. Over the past four months, I’ve completely shifted my mindset — I realised I had been fighting against a path that wasn’t right for me. Now, I’m in a space where I’m building a new business with a partner, feeling more aligned and seeing things much more clearly. Emma’s coaching gave me the tools and perspective I needed to move forward with confidence.
Natasha, Wyldform Creative 🇿🇦/🇫🇷
I started working with Emma after a difficult year; I knew something needed to change but wasn't sure what. Turns out a lot of it was my mindset. I put a lot of pressure on myself, and Emma gave me the tools to better understand myself and to be more patient and kinder to myself. As a result, I feel calmer and happier overall.

Work, relationships & a professional pivot
“I can see that the work I did with myself and my relationships meant that I was ready for this incredible job opportunity with these people who feel so aligned with my values and Emma your support and approach is for me and many other people a perfect mix, and I know that life can keep getting even better as I continue to do this work so I’m so happy to have you around me, living these concepts yourself and I know that anytime I want I can just go grab some content or be in touch with you and this will make the expansion and joy even deeper and this is so precious, thank you Emma.”

I feel incredibly fortunate to have been one of Emma's very first clients, a journey that began for me two years ago. As a Chinese speaker, I often struggled with expressing myself confidently in English, especially in cross-cultural settings. There were so many times I'd rack my brain for words, only to end up second-guessing myself.
However, I chose Emma as my coach because I felt an immediate and deep connection with her. In her presence, I could truly relax, and the usual language barriers seemed to simply fade away. This is truly her unique charm.
As a coach, Emma maintains a wonderfully neutral and non-judgmental approach. She has a remarkable ability to convey profound and insightful philosophical ideas using humorous analogies, which made our sessions both enlightening and enjoyable. Under her warm and focused gaze, I felt that everything was possible. She's like a gentle, warm breeze; no matter how much energy I had to grow, she always made me feel it was enough to simply be, to just exist in peaceful presence.
I wholeheartedly recommend Emma to anyone from a different cultural background. She consistently demonstrates a respectful and genuinely curious approach, which fosters a fascinating collision of cultural perspectives. This has broadened my own perspective on issues significantly and has helped me break free from many self-imposed limitations.
Ultimately, I am so grateful to have met Emma, and I truly believe she can bring positive change to many more people from all walks of life.

Balancing language learning with a PHD, busy job in a hospital, relationships, self-care and future business goals.
Like many of our Joy Studio members, the goal is creating harmony without compromising on ambition, which means prioritising health and social time? Not optional. It’s the fuel
— Silvia, Spain 🇪🇸
I have been having coaching sessions with Emma since March 2021 and while my life has changed so much over these years, her support and advice have been a wonderful constant along this time and definitely one of the main reasons I could change my life and especially my way of thinking in so many positive ways.
When you start your coaching journey, you get familiar with so many different tools to help you change and redirect your life. At the beginning, they might feel strange and require energy to get used to, but once they are part of your daily life and way of thinking, you start going faster and faster, skipping steps to get to the conclusion you need. But I can tell you, even then, Emma will always help you go further, ask the extra needed question, come at it from a different angle and surprise you.
The magic of having Emma as your coach is that you have constant support, enthusiasm, knowledge, example and just the right amount of push, always delivered in a kind and cheerful way.
Vero 🇮🇹, 📍Paris,
