JOY RESTORATION
A Year To Finally Do The Things You Say You Want
Publish the substack, book the writing retreat, move to Paris, and let yourself experience Deep Selfish Joy
This is about building a life where you pause to smile, go to the yoga class, and have the confidence, energy, and time to live life your way.
You're invited into a 12-month journey of living on your terms — season by season — with practical tools, emotional fuel, and the support to stop stalling and start creating.
Because joy isn’t a luxury.
It’s the strategy.
Life Right Now:
You're the one everyone relies on.
Professionally, you're smashing goals — but personally? It’s a different story.
You make things happen for others.
But the writing retreat, the yoga teacher training, the long weekend with no plans?
They keep getting pushed to “someday.”.
You feel amazing when you run in the morning…
But you went to bed too late (again), hit snooze, and now the whole day feels hijacked.
Cue: guilt.
Your life feels fragmented — like the parts of you are fighting for airtime.
And when you do take time for yourself?
It comes with a side of shame and a mental spreadsheet of what you “should” be doing instead.
You're running on empty, giving to everyone (including the dog),
Telling yourself you'll make space... soon.
Once this phase is over.
But be honest — hasn’t it always felt like this?
The vision of a joyful, energised, grounded you —
The version that lives, leads, and creates with clarity?
She’s starting to feel far away.
And so is joy.
The kind of deeply selfish joy that makes you squirm a little because it’s just for you.
And that’s exactly the point.
Imagine what could change over a full year of choosing yourself.
Season by season. Project by project. Without rushing or stalling.
In Your First Season, Life Could Look Like This...
You’re chatting in French at your new yoga studio about the book that’s already half written.
Your finances? No longer a monster under the bed — you and money are building something beautiful together.
Your health has shifted. Turns out you do have a yoga body — it’s just your body. And it loves yoga.
That’s just the first 90 days.
One season.
The space to play, fail, pause, experiment — and rise.
A beginning — not a sprint.
In that first season, you might:
– Launch your “no-settling” dating plan — guided by joy, not scarcity
– Invest in you — the version that’s been buried under work, grief, or burnout
– Finally pour your creativity into your dream: the website live, the emails sent, the fear of visibility… dissolving
This isn’t hustle. It’s a return.
If you feel like you lost yourself along the way — the truth is, you didn’t.
You’ve always been here.
Now, we clear the space, offer structure, and build support around your joy — so your real self has room to move.
And that’s just the first season.
Four Seasons. One Year. A Life That Fits.
Four seasons.
Twelve months of living in rhythm with your life — not racing it.
This time next year, you’ll look back and think:
That was the Spring I woke to birdsong and finally felt awake in my body.
That was the Summer I stopped pushing and started living.
That was the Autumn I softened, nourished, and danced again.
That was the Winter I rested without apology — and prepared to really thrive.
Your life becomes a story told in seasons — not stress.
Rooted like Oak.
Expansive like wildflowers.
A year from now, you could:
Trust your intuition with your tools, not second-guess them
Build rituals around rest, nourishment, and play
Make brave decisions from joy, not fear
Feel your life instead of racing through it
And the dream that feels too fragile to say aloud?
We’ll build a structured sanctuary around it.
Until it’s strong enough to bloom on its own.
You'll do this inside a community of humans who’ve also chosen joy —
and with me as your guide:
Holding the space.
Honouring your pace.
Helping you take up even more space, joyfully.
The ripple effect? It will move through your life, your relationships, your work, and your world
Simple. Grounded. Expansive.
The Joy Studio is where ambitious humans come home to themselves — with soulful structure and strategic support.
The experience is designed in two parts, built to create momentum that lasts far beyond the first season.
Theory & Activation
Part One: Theory, Lay the Foundation
Start with a series of grounding workshops — short, potent, and practical — to shift your mindset and lay the emotional and strategic groundwork for everything that follows.
You’ll also begin your first seasonal project with Joy Restoration — a 90-day journey delivered via private podcast.
Perfect for listening on a walk, journaling with coffee, or out in nature, each audio is paired with reflection prompts to help you move from insight to action.
You’ll receive:
– One simple concept each week
– Delivered straight to your inbox
– Flexible start day
– Full access to The Studio platform: all lessons, journaling tools, and bonus resourcesPart Two: Activation, Support That Meets You Where You Are
Seasonal 1:1 Sessions
Live group coaching calls 3x a month, across time zones
Daily micro-coaching in our private WhatsApp community — one-minute video answers, bite-sized nudges, and powerful coaching prompts
Gentle accountability, joyful momentum, and consistent celebration
This isn’t about noise — it’s about resonance.
We work in rhythms. We honour your capacity.
We give you the tools to shift patterns, make decisions from joy, and start seeing yourself as the person who actually does the thing.
Your Seasonal 1:1 Sessions
Four times a year, we pause. Reflect. Recalibrate.
These private sessions are your personal anchor points inside The Joy Studio.
Every 90 days, we’ll meet 1:1 to:
Reflect on the season that’s just passed — what shifted, what worked, what needs space
Reconnect to your energy, goals, and creative direction
Set your intention for the season ahead — rooted in joy, clarity, and self-leadership
Whether you're closing a chapter or on the edge of something new, these sessions give you space to check in with yourself and your vision — fully supported.
Your Daily Life Support System
The WhatsApp community is your portable lifeline. No extra apps, no social noise.
Use it:
To drop a coaching question on your dog walk
To check in while queuing for coffee or before the school run
To get a spark of encouragement when you’re on the edge of “should I send this?”
You’ll feel the energy — shared Paris cafés, quiet mornings, tiny breakthroughs.
You’ll witness others saying yes to their desires, their projects, their voice.
And you’ll experience the joy of showing up for your own.
Skip the spiral. Skip the perfectionism.
Feel the rush of being the one who actually did it.
And then? Celebrate with carrot cake, a new notebook, and permission to wander into your next delicious idea.

SHED
Days 1-30
Clear space. Reclaim energy. Tap into the you that usually only shows up on Day 3 of a holiday—the radiant version who’s stopped checking email, feels the sun on her skin, and smiles just because.
Now, you’ll learn to access that version on a regular Tuesday afternoon.
Lesson 01: UNLOCK YOUR SUPERPOWERS
Manage your emotions, learn how to use your mind as the limitless tool it is to stop getting frozen in perfectionism and move into intentional creation.
Lesson 02: DYNAMIC DECISION MAKING
The starting point in learning how to do less but better and create time for yourself, deliciously selfishly that inspires everyone around you.
Lesson 03: ALIGN WITH YOUR JOY CODE
More than values, this is your unique way of living and being that will let you deepen your experience of joy in every moment of life from your inbox to self-care to relationships.
Lesson 04: REGENERATIVE REST
Rest is a skill.
Just as muscles are built in the recovery period, we need to be able to rest to allow our results and success to really flourish.
7 Days of prompts to help you identify your unique regenerative rest style.
Your mind is the most powerful tool you have, supported by your physical health, the second pillar of Joy Ambition teaches you how to set yourself up for success by investing in your own capacity, potential and existing strengths and experiences.
You will experience the deep self-trust of knowing your opinion is the only one that matters and that you can take on any challenge that comes your way with grace and strength (and joy!)
Lesson 05: 80% MORE. THE CONFIDENCE FORMULA
Humans have a built in 80% negativity bias, you’re going to learn how to interrupt that, get to neutral and take responsibility for flipping your weaknesses into strengths.
Lesson 06: LIONESS LEVEL SELF-CARE
Meet Healthy Hedonism.
Beyond the obvious self-care practises of working out, nourishing food and sleep (although we’ll fill in the joy gaps to make sure they’re aligned with your vision) you’re going to learn how to practise emotional hygiene, dissolve any lingering people pleasing and raise the bar on your self-care so that it matches your ambitions, you’ll learn about pre-rest as well as recovery to break burnout cycles.
Lesson 07: SUCCESS SEQUENCES
Replace Habits With Rituals
A pleasure practise, social life, creative space, time in nature and digital detoxes, all too often get deprioritised when external pressures increase.
But knowing that these things fuel you? Making your 5 minute meditation outside in the sunshine a non-negotiable, the Friday morning coffee with friends and space to read before bed as important as checking your email or project planning?
This changes everything. These rituals keep your goals on track as well as making it so much easier to support everyone else in your life.
Lesson 08: REWILDED REST. Harmony With Yourself
Going at your own pace—how would you treat yourself if you were already going to achieve everything?
7 Days of prompts to help you reconnect with what actually brings your body joy, when do you naturally sleep/wake, what foods feel intuitive, what about movement?
Time to try a dance class or start a coffee and a walk club? Let’s find out!
NOURISH
Days 31-60
BLOOM.
Days 61-90
This is the getting it done space.
You know what you want, you’ve created commitment to it, you’re feeling rested, powerful and all in? Now we take action.
This is where you get to experience actively creating and being in the success you dreamt of.
And most importantly? Being present in and revelling in the journey!
Lesson 09: THE PERFECT FAILURE
Everything you want and being able to have it in 3 months not 3 years depends on your relationship to failure, this lesson will teach you how to master it.
Lesson 10: FIND YOUR EDGE
How do we know when we’re pushing ourselves from growth and the challenge vs self-criticism that leads to burnout?
Embodied Action - You’re going to learn how to read and respond to your nervous system so that you can stay in expansive intentionality instead of contractive reactivity.
This lesson changed EVERYTHING for me and I can’t wait to share it with you!
Lesson 11: EXPANSIVE MOMENTUM & BALANCE
Recalibrating, integrating and practising constantly raising the ceiling on what’s possible from trust that there is always something even more amazing around the corner and meeting it with delicious anticipation! (Especially fun in dating!)
Lesson 12: INTEGRATIVE REST
7 days of micro-trainings to help you integrate the evolved version of yourself who has been on this journey before setting your next goals.

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.”

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

Anastasia’s notes from our group call speak for themselves and I wanted to share hers directly with you as she was the inspiration and motivation for me to bring DEEP SELFISH JOY to the forefront of The Joy Studio, this one is for those of you struggling with guilt around pleasure and joy, you get to make it a project!
Balancing an existing small business aligned with her values of regeneration and sustainability whilst wearing all the hats that entails, marketing, producing, customer service, finance whilst also exploring and developing other creative projects and making space for intrepid cycling trips

Your Coach & Joy Studio Founder, Emma
The concept of Joy Restoration started when I found myself in a life that really didn’t feel like the one I had intended to create, like I had the pieces - the partner, life in an exciting city, my own business, but somehow they were from different puzzles, they just didn’t quite fit together.
So, in 2021, I trained as a life coach, the relationship ended, and whilst in a rapidly deteriorating French countryside cottage renovation with my dog, scared but hopeful I decided to go all in on seeing if I could put my puzzle pieces together and build the life I could just about see the edges of when I let myself dream.
Turns out I could, and if I’d known what was coming I would have been even more apprehensive but also? Even more excited, 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!
The tools I learned, mastered and created along the way as I certified as a Time Hacker coach, created a 15 hour work week, discovered yoga and moved to France from Spain (we’ll save the retreat from France to Spain story for another day) become The Joy Restoration Coaching Model and roadmap that I teach our members.
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.

Want to talk it through first?
If you’re feeling the pull but have a few questions, I’d love to meet you.
You can book a free 20-minute call to get clarity on whether this year inside The Joy Studio is the right next step for you.
This is not a sales pitch.
It’s a conversation — about where you are now, what you want next, and whether this programme is the right container for your next season.
If you leave with clarity, it’s time well spent.
