Episode #3: From Autopilot to Awareness: Rewriting Your Life in Real Time with Dr Emily Musgrove
Jun 19, 2025A radically compassionate way to break free from emotional autopilot—and finally feel unstuck.
In this heartfelt and empowering episode, clinical psychologist and author Dr. Emily Musgrove joins Dr. Anthea Todd to explore the hidden patterns that keep women feeling stuck, exhausted, and disconnected—from their bodies and themselves.
Drawing on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dr. Emily unpacks how internal narratives like “I’m not enough” quietly shape our emotional and physical health. Together, she and Dr. Anthea reveal how the stories we live by—especially when left unexamined—can lead to chronic stress, burnout, and symptoms that no test can explain.
If you’ve ever felt like you’re doing everything right but still feel empty, overwhelmed, or like you’ve lost your spark… this episode is a return to yourself.
You’ll Learn How To:
-
Spot when you’re living on autopilot—and how to return to presence
-
Recognise how emotional patterns can turn into physical symptoms
-
Understand the deeper cost of perfectionism, people-pleasing, and chronic stress
-
Create space between thoughts and identity (you are not your inner critic)
-
Use small, body-led actions to shift out of stuckness
-
Anchor into your values—not just your goals—for lasting change
-
Teach your kids to trust their body’s wisdom, too
