Love & Liberate
Love & Liberate is a raw and real podcast about coming home to your body, your truth, and your power, one rebellious act of love at a time.
Hosted by Emilie Iris, embodiment teacher, self-leadership coach and artist, this is a space for the wild ones, the soft ones, the ones who feel deeply and refuse to settle. Through honest reflections, soulful tools and unfiltered conversations, we explore what it means to heal, to feel, to lead from within, beyond the spiritual fluff, beyond the systems that tried to tame us.
Expect embodied wisdom, personal stories, inspiring conversations and tangible practices to help you live, love, and lead in your own way, from your own heart.
🎙 New episodes every Wednesday.

When Life Is Just Too Heavy: The Will to Live & The Freedom to Die
In this episode, Emilie opens a raw and often-avoided conversation about suicide. Not as a personal failure, but as a mirror of the world we’ve created. She shares her own experience with not wanting to be here anymore, and questions the narratives we hold about life, death, and responsibility.
Why do we call it unnatural to want to die, when the world itself has become so deeply unnatural? Why do we treat those who no longer want to live as the problem, instead of seeing them as proof of a collective disconnect. What if they are our canaries in the coal mine, showing us that something is off?
This conversation is not about glorifying death, but about humanizing pain, and about the humility it takes to listen to what suicide reveals about us as a society.
What you’ll hear in this episode:
- A deeply honest reflection on the will to live and the freedom to die.
- Why suicide is not an individual problem, but a collective symptom
- How our social, economic, and political systems distribute suffering unequally.
- Why giving people the right to leave can be an act of collective responsibility
- How privilege blinds us from the weight some are forced to carry
