About Muse Yourself | Real talk on self-love and starting over

Muse Yourself is the podcast for the woman ready to reinvent her life from the inside out - the one making her own rules, rewriting her story, and remembering who the f**k she is. Unfiltered. Unapologetic. Undeniable. I’m Gemma James - podcaster & journalist. In 2017 I was about to turn 30, recently widowed, newly jobless, and on the edge of losing my home - trying to figure out who I was without everything I’d built my whole identity around. But what do we do when life throws us the ultimate plot twist? We rewrite the story. This is a podcast about the rewrite. It’s a place for real talk on what it actually takes to rebuild your life from the inside out - and stories from the women who’ve lived it. Because here’s the thing no one wants you to know… You get to have as many new beginnings as you want. No matter how many times you think you’ve failed, how lost you feel, or how ‘late’ you think you are. When a woman owns her story - she changes the world. Muse Yourself isn’t just a podcast - it’s a full frequency shift. It’s where we start living unapologetically as the main character and lead the way for other women to do the same. Expect intimate, unfiltered conversations on reinvention, healing, self-love, and what it really takes to rebuild your life from the inside out. Through raw storytelling and soul-led interviews, we explore the power of starting over, turning pain into purpose, and stepping into the life you were BORN to create.  If you're a woman who's ready to rise - unapologetically and on your own terms - you're in the right place. Because it’s never too late to change the plot. gemmaj.substack.com

43. A LIFE RESET: The Power Of One Decision

What if you knew that the life you want - the one where you live as the most fearless, authentic, fully expressed version of you, was only one decision away? In this episode, I’m talking about the power of making bold moves - BEFORE you feel ready - and how a single action can completely change the trajectory of your life. Not reckless, misaligned action - but trusting your vision, following your intuition, and saying yes to the incredible life that’s waiting for you. I’m covering: * Why “good enough” isn’t good enough for the version of you who came here to live fully in her power * How one action can set in motion your biggest transformation * The mindset shift that allows you to move from survival mode into full expression * How to trust yourself even when the next step isn’t visible yet This is your reminder that you were not put here to stay small. You were meant to live boldly, expansively, and unapologetically. So what’s your next move? Until next time Muses X PS.

episode 42. How to stop people pleasing & set boundaries this Holiday Season artwork

42. How to stop people pleasing & set boundaries this Holiday Season

Hi Muses, A short but powerful reminder for you in this week’s Monday Muse as we start to approach the Holiday Season - if you’ve spent years being the fixer, the peacekeeper, or the one who holds everything together for everyone else, this is the episode for you. I’m getting into why so many of us feel the need to carry what doesn’t belong to us, absorb energy that isn’t ours, how we confuse worthiness with being needed, and how reclaiming our boundaries can bring us back into our power. Inside this episode, you’ll hear: * Why we feel conditioned to carry other people’s problems * How taking on someone else’s problems not only steals your peace but also their growth * What it means to love someone without trying to save them * A grounding reflection to help you release what isn’t yours * A powerful reframe to help you protect your energy this week This is your permission slip to step back, breathe, and let people live their own experience - without making it your responsibility. A reflection to take into your week:Where have I been carrying that doesn’t belong to me? What would it feel like if I could let it go?

41. STARTING OVER: How to let go of old identities, turn endings into new beginnings, and step into your MOST powerful era yet

What happens when the life you thought you were meant to live doesn’t work out the way you planned…? Hi Muses, In this week’s episode I’m so excited to welcome back one of the most popular guests we’ve ever had on the show - host of The FemmeCast podcast, Visibility Healer & Coach, and my beautiful friend, Maria Rei. In this deeply honest conversation, we’re exploring what it really takes to let go of old identities, release what’s no longer aligned, and start over - whether it’s by choice or because life’s thrown you some unexpected plot twists… We’re covering: * The messy middle of turning endings into aligned new beginnings - how to stop clinging on to an old identity and start actively choosing who we want to be * Why, and how, pain can be a portal to our next level * The scarcity mindset that keeps us holding on even when we know we need to let go, and how to stop the cycle for good * Learning to trust our inner guidance (even when it’s not logical!) * How we can learn to surrender control and trust our own intuition And SO much more! This is a conversation about courage, trust, and becoming who you were always meant to be. If you’re in a season of transition, whether in relationships, love, or career, I hope this episode reminds you that endings aren’t failures - they’re your invitation to your next chapter. P.S.

40. Feeling behind? How to stop waiting and choose YOURSELF

Hi Muses, This weeks Monday Muse episode is your sign to show up, speak up, and choose yourself - fully and unapologetically. I’m sharing some personal reflections on why the days of having to be ‘chosen’ to be seen, published, or successful are DONE, and why the real power is now in choosing yourself. Which, let’s be honest, we’ve known for a while…but it never hurts to have a reminder. Whether you’ve been waiting for someone to notice your work, offer you the opportunity, or validate your next move - consider this your nudge to STOP waiting and start becoming the author of your own story. Because I’ve got news for you…you now live in a world where you can give YOURSELF the platform. And you were always meant to be the main character.

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
