Some guests don’t just share their knowledge — they embody it. Dr Emilia Vuorisalmi is one of those rare voices who merges medical expertise with lived experience in the most powerful way.

A medical doctor, author, and expert in love hormones and emotional wellbeing, Emilia has spent years exploring the biochemistry of connection, the science of burnout, and what it really takes to build emotional resilience. She’s also lived through the messy, non-linear reality of healing — from overcoming love addiction to redefining her identity outside of clinical expectations.

In our five-question conversation, Emilia shares how she’s learned to breathe properly (literally and metaphorically), why making peace with fear changed everything, and how storytelling became one of her most powerful tools. She also talks candidly about her ongoing journey to feel “enough” — a feeling many of us will relate to — and how she's learned to trust herself again after years of inner turmoil.

What struck me most was Emilia’s honesty, warmth, and her deeply human reminder that healing is rarely a straight line — but always worth the walk.
