   The Origin Story of my Book: Lead Like a Matriarch

   I’m back on the podcast, and I’m coming to you from the bathtub. The day after I submitted the final manuscript for my book, while I waited (somewhat patiently, somewhat impatiently) for Amazon to approve her, I found myself right back in the place where this whole book began: The Fertile Void. And so instead of worrying, I did what I teach my clients to do and I created (this podcast, for you!). Inside this episode, I share: * The story of 11/11/2025, the random Tuesday afternoon I got in the bath and started writing a book nobody was asking me for * Why the feminine births instead of builds, and what that means for how we create * A creation truth the womb knows, but we often forget * Why engaging with spaciousness is a skill, especially for busy women and mothers, and what happens when we rush to fill it * A first look inside my book, Lead Like a Matriarch (https://www.emilynachazel.com/book), and the paradigm shifts it walks you through The Fertile Void shows up in all kinds of seasons: after a launch, between clients, coming back from maternity leave, in a lull in dating, or right after you hand something you love over to forces outside your control. Each one asks the same thing of us. Can we stay with the emptiness long enough to see what wants to come through? I’m glad I was able to embrace the emptiness, with the initial conception of the book and also in this tender waiting period between book submission and approval. She’s here now and obviously her astrology is perfect (more on that another time). Get your copy of Lead Like a Matriarch here: www.emilynachazel.com/book (http://www.emilynachazel.com/book) And when you get her, please share a photo. I want to see this creative baby out in the wild! Big Hugs, P.S. My first book, Lead Like a Matriarch, is officially here! She came into the world in the early hours of October 23rd a few of days after recording this episode. You can now grab your copy at emilynachazel.com/book (https://emilynachazel.com/book).

   What If Being Pulled in Every Direction Means You're Expanding?

   This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit emilynachazel.substack.com (https://emilynachazel.substack.com?utm_medium=podcast&utm_campaign=CTA_7) EVOLVE 2-Day Creative Retreat in Oakton, VAGrab Your Ticket: https://www.emilynachazel.com/evolve-2026 (https://www.emilynachazel.com/evolve-2026)This month, for our Birthing the New paid subscriber call, I came in honest about the fact that I felt pulled in about seven different directions — and then realized that was the teaching. I held up the proof copy of my book for the first time on this call. It still says NOT FOR RESALE across it, there are still edits to make, and we’re aiming for a 10/10 publication date. There’s a retreat next week. There was a first day of preschool. There are two children now instead of one. So we started where the pull actually lives, which is the body, and we got curious about it instead of trying to fix it. Because feeling stretched across too many rooms isn’t one message. Sometimes it means your energy is spread too thin and it’s time to get discerning. Sometimes it means your focus needs to narrow. And sometimes it simply means you are expanding, and the rest of you hasn’t caught up to the size of the life yet. Wherever you find yourself in your own stretch right now, there’s nothing wrong with you for finding it uncomfortable. The discomfort is information, not evidence that you’ve done something wrong. If you can carve out the time for this month’s replay, I’d love for you to join us. The practice inside is one I return to constantly, especially in seasons like this one, and it will meet you again in whatever comes next. Become a paid subscriber to access this month’s live replay ↓ Inside I teach: A short grounding practice for calling your energy back to you when you’re depleted, scattered, or pouring out more than you’re taking in The three things a big emotion is actually asking for — and how to tell which one you’re working with before you go looking for meaning that isn’t there Why “just leap, just invest, just do the thing” is incomplete advice, and what it looks like to engage the edge of your comfort zone without shrinking back or blowing up your system Character Work — a full guided somatic practice for giving a big feeling a body, a gesture, and a voice, then turning up the volume until you can hear what it’s been trying to tell you And after you tune in, I’d love to hear: Who showed up when you turned up the volume? What did that character want, and what’s your integration action item? And if there’s a specific emotion you keep bumping into, or a phrase you keep catching yourself saying — I’m so stretched thin, I’m so overwhelmed, I’m so pulled in every direction — tell me. I’ll build a future call around learning to work with it on a body level. Your big feelings are not obstacles to your expansion. They’re the messengers telling you how to hold it.

   Full Moon In Pisces Ritual

   This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit emilynachazel.substack.com (https://emilynachazel.substack.com?utm_medium=podcast&utm_campaign=CTA_7) Become a paid subscriber on Substack (https://emilynachazel.substack.com) to access the full ritual. Leo is the sign we usually assign to the spotlight — the roar, the crown, the one at the center of the room. And there’s real truth in that. But underneath all the shine, Leo is the sign of the heart. The sign that rules children, our relationships with children, and the child living inside each of us. The sign that asks whether you have the courage to be seen without your armor on — first by yourself, then by anyone else. A new moon in Leo lands with this particular kind of tenderness. It’s a fire sign, yes, but the fire here isn’t performance. It’s courage. The steady flame that lets you drop the walls long enough to actually meet yourself. So this new moon, we’re going to do something Leo would love. We’re going to visit the younger version of you. Not to fix her, or to tell her what she got wrong, or to teach her something she should have known. But to see her. To let her see you. To find out what she came here to say. Because Leo knows that your inner child arrives as a teacher. She has a message. This lunation is asking you to be still enough to hear it. For this ritual, you’ll need: About 20 minutes in a quiet, private space A journal and something to write with A candle — Leo’s element is fire, and the flame is here to lend you a little of its courage Light your candle. Let yourself gaze into the flame for a few moments before you settle. Soften through the jaw, the third eye, the space around your heart. Notice any armor you’re wearing today, and let yourself set it down. This is not the moment to be on guard. And then, when you’re ready, let a younger version of yourself come forward in your mind’s eye. Don’t overthink it — trust whichever version arrives. Let her see you. Let yourself see her. She has come with a message. After you’ve sat with the ritual — how are you feeling? Take some time to reflect on what surfaced and let yourself continue to write for as long as it feels good. While the meeting is still fresh, write down what she said to you — even if it came as an image, a feeling, a color, a sound, rather than a sentence. And write down what you said back to her — the words of love, of acknowledgment, of you’re doing a great job that she may or may not have received the first time around. To close, place your right hand over your heart and your left hand on top. Feel your heartbeat. This is the same heart that has carried you through every chapter of your life, and it’s still carrying you now.
