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.

Our Fear of Feeling: How Killing Pain Is Killing People
In this week’s episode, Emilie dives deep into our collective relationship with pain, how we numb it, silence it, and in doing so, silencing life itself. From the opioid crisis to our everyday coping mechanisms like scrolling, working, drinking, over-giving, ... she unpacks how disconnection has become a cultural norm and what it truly means to feel again.
Emilie shares her own raw and personal experiences of sitting with pain, from heartbreak to grief, and offers a way to meet discomfort with honesty, breath, and embodiment.
This episode is not about glorifying pain but about reclaiming its purpose. Pain isn’t punishment; it’s information. It’s the body’s way of saying: something needs your love, your attention, your presence.
Because the only way to truly “kill” pain is to feel it.
💫 What you’ll learn
- Why numbing pain slowly disconnects us from life and from each other
- How pain can become a teacher, not an enemy
- The hidden link between pain, sensitivity, and creativity
- Simple ways to move with pain instead of fighting it
🧠 Reflections to Sit With
- What’s one sensation or emotion you’ve been avoiding lately?
- What happens if, instead of fixing or fleeing, you simply stay with it?
- Who in your life could use your presence — not your advice — as they move through pain?
