Hello, this is Emma Ganon, and thank you for listening to this podcast. I just wanted to let you know that my new book, The Success Myth, Letting Go of Having It All, is out on May the 18th.

I think it's my best book yet, so I'm excited for it to come out. And the book unpicks the eight success myths from happiness, to money, to productivity, to celebrity, to the idea of finally arriving, and how chasing a version of success that doesn't align with your values can really take you off track.

And this book is about getting back to yourself, breaking free, finding a new way forward.

And it's available on May the 18th. If you love this podcast, you'll love the book, and it's available soon from all good bookshops.

So you can order yours now. I hope you like it.

Hello, this is Emma Ganon, and welcome back to The Success Myth Diaries, my mini series to accompany my new book, The Success Myth, Letting Go of Having It All, which came out on May the 18th.

It unpicks the eight success myths that I believe are getting in the way of us redefining what success really means to us from society's expectations around happiness and money and productivity and celebrity culture.

And this idea that we always have to move the goalposts. I'm looking at different ways that we can feel enough that we can realign with our own values and personally feel more fulfilled day to day.

And to celebrate the book, I'm interviewing some of my favorite thinkers on success and asking them about their success myths, which we unpick together.

Today's guest is Fiona Erigo. She is beloved for her ever evolving wisdom and heart-based living for changing times. She's a visionary in her field.

She works globally as a biodynamic psychotherapist. She's an intuitive healer, a mentor, and a life teacher. And she's truly wise and had so much wonderful stuff to say on this topic.

She also runs the brilliant Erigo program, which is a profound healing system developed with Fiona's expert team of practitioners. And you can find out more about that on their newly rebranded website, which is in the show notes.

So you can check out that if you're interested in a really fantastic retreat and amazing space to heal and talk about these topics in a lot more detail.

Fiona talked about her success myths on this podcast. She spoke about how the world is going through a massive change. We spoke about collective burnout, how we can work together, how to rest, and how to use our own intuition more to guide us forward during this very heavy time.

I hope you enjoy this episode. I loved recording it.

Thank you. I feel like you have so much to share. And it feels very urgent this message of redefining what success looks like, not just for us, but for the world at large.

Before we begin, actually, would you be able to just sort of tell us a bit more about how you got to what you're doing because I'm so intrigued. Have you always worked in this space?

Yeah, before that, let me just thank you for inviting me on. And I'm really loving what you're doing and the importance of your message. And, you know, I think we're all coming at this in the same way, but from different angles and because we all know something urgent is needed.

So I really just wanted to honor and thank you for your work really. And as I said, when you said, would I come on, you've actually pulled me out of my, I haven't done a podcast for two years, except for my own community.

So how did I get into this? I've been doing this work for like 40 odd years.

Really, the truth is when I was a child, I was born with a huge question mark on my forehead, which was always the kind of questions that I'm asking in a way today.

You know, who are we? What are we doing? What's the meaning of this and why? And that was really from very, very young. I mean, all sorts of funny stories I could tell you about.
