PRODUCTIVE DAY! Life Update, Panic Attack, Cleaning, Organising + Skincare Routine 

Hi my name is Leah from South Africa. Watching your channel is giving me energy to take care of my family. Thank you ❤

I have followed for the last 6 years and I just want you to know that your videos are highly valuable. You have been a huge blessing to me and I have grown immensely just by watching you. May the lord continue expanding your territories. Mary from Kenya in Africa

Teenage years are really really hard and I think you don’t have the support like you do when they are babies. The problem get harder and the worry gets bigger because you lose control of what they are doing or who they spend time with, Iv come through the other side now thankfully 😊

Emily, your house is beautiful but I love how you show how the normal mess gets in your house and don’t pretend that it’s perfect all the time.. Thank you for being real!

We saw a motivational speaker on Monday and he does a few things before speaking to calm his nerves. He had a small handcream that the smell helps him calm down. When he starts feeling panicky he just brings the back of his hand up to his nose and inhales it. I thought that was so clever

Hi Emily- yes the worries change and shift focus as our kiddos get older. You worry about social things, exams, peer pressure or them dealing with bad attitudes or behaviours around them. You just want to protect them from any nastiness. You and Matt are doing a brilliant job (so nice to see Matt’s mug for a bit 😊). Thought for the next time your in the sound booth, would it be possible to have Kiki in the booth when you’re doing the audio next time?.... Loved the mini vac, just the thing for when the chia seeds escape in the draw 😊💕

Great video always Emily! Always so relatable and honest ❤super thanks always so inspiring & motivating!

Hi Emily, I’m right there with you, I am having some symptoms although my OB said even if I don’t test that way she said my diagnosis of PMDD might be perimenopause 😢 I have bad panic attacks and anxiety, it’s actually why I started this channel 5 years ago, I talk a lot about my experiences. My husband doesn’t understand it at all, and it’s been hard! Wish we could sit down and just talk about it. If you haven’t ever experienced an attack you just don’t understand and most of my friends are younger so they just think I’m old lol. Sending much love from the US!! ❤

Hi Emily, really enjoyed your video, its such a motivator for me to get things done. So sorry to hear about your panic attacks, I get them usually when I'm nervous, worried or really excited. The sound of rain helps me, I switch off the tv, move all social devices far away and play the sound of rain in the distance. It's so relaxing and calming 😌 . I hope this helps your nerves to calm down ❤

Hi Emily! I just want to tell you that I absolutely love your channel and I’ve been following it for quite awhile now :) I have your book, and it’s fantastic and super helpful! You truly inspire me and motivate me :) I wanted to tell you, as I used to have panic attacks, that something I found helpful was 1) self-talk, letting yourself know that it’s very normal and a lot of people have panic attacks from time to time and 2) reminding yourself that you can always leave the space you’re in, that you’re not tied in to where you are. If I find myself getting ansy in small confined spaces, I just remind myself that I can leave to “go to the bathroom” (when I don’t actually have to lol) to get some space. I don’t feel bad about it at all. I was in the middle of getting a cavity filled at the dentist when I interrupted and said I needed to use the bathroom LOL You gotta do what you gotta do! Thanks Emily for being such a real and relatable person on your channel! ❤️

Love from Trinidad and Tobago. I tune in for my weekly motivation.

Love these day in the life vlogs. What is that beautiful nail polish you have on Emily please?

Something I learned through therapy that has helped with my anxieties, is to focus on the physical sensation you feel rather than the worry or thoughts or anxieties that you have in detail. When you bring your focus to your physical sensations, it draws your thoughts away from what’s making you anxious and helps you get over the hump of that panic attack or an anxiety attack.

Hi Emily, I’ve been following your channel for years and I also am a mum of boys. I have tweens and young teens. You’re saying all the things I felt a few years ago and still feel about parenting not getting any easier. I feel in fact it gets more difficult to navigate. It is physically easier, but dealing with emotional issues is a whole new ball game. I look forward to following your content. I totally hear you on the boys’ later bedtime and not having that adult time in the evenings! My 15 year old goes to bed later than us at weekends now! We are in the process of designing a teen den for them by converting our single detached garage into a safe hangout for the older boys. Xxx

Hello Emily! I love you so much and your videos have been such an inspiration to me❤

I met the CEO of Skin & Me in an elevator in London earlier this month and we got talking and I was asked how I learnt about the company. I mentioned it was from you. They wrote your name down and thanked me for using it and said they were happy I shared that it was you I learnt about it from. ❤

❤ absolutely loved this video! Thank you so much, Emily! ❤ sorry to hear about your panic attack, that must’ve been quite scary! I suffer from anxiety and I’m 40, what I would say, been experiencing some symptoms of perimenopause for at least three years. My cycle has changed, mood swings, anxiety, overthinking, really painful cramps etc I do find that taking some deep and long belly breaths can help. I also meditate daily, even only five minutes with a guided meditation seems to help me overall. I try to do some yoga that also helps me calm my nervous system. Regarding the boys, I totally understand and feel the same way as you. I find two that the problems can last a bit longer and drag on a little bit. 💙

Rescue Remedy is really good for those high anxiety moments ❤ they do gummies or drops. When I had to read a tribute at my parents funeral I was in such a state leading up to the day. I spent hours reading my tribute out aloud over and over again and regulating my breathing to help me get into a rhythm of reading. I concentrated on the punctuation. Pausing at comas and remembering to breathe in longer and slower at full stops. Think of it like reading a story to your children. ❤

Your card and cookie idea--so sweet. As a mother, I am inspired by all the extra thought you put into making your boys feel loved. As a teacher, I love that you are rewarding effort, not a particular score. Many studies have shown that celebrating effort is far more motivating long-term!

Hi Emily. Watching you from Aruba 🇦🇼 been subscribed since I was pregnant with my son, he's turning 7 this year. You've been an inspiration all these years. Thank you ❤

Hi Emily, hope you're well. I have been watching you for years and I never comment but I hope this helps...I suffer from panic attacks, I have now for quite a while. I have 3 kids under 6. I started having them nearly 2 years ago just before my Dad passed away from Cancer. I struggle daily. I go to a healer when I can & she takes all that panic away. Look into reflexology / healer in your area, try meditations and breathing exercises are so important. Just by breathing properly can help. I also find the shower grounds me too. Hope this helps. They're absolutely terrifying. Wishing you well xx

Hey Emily, I've been following you for a long time now. I have the same experience with my son who is 15. A teenager/in his puberty. His going to bed later really affects my goodnight sleep. Some things get easier some things harder like emotionally with finding their place in this crazy world we live in and the pressure and stress of school like you mentioned. We do the best we can.Take care and much love. You have a beautiful family. God bless you. 🙏☀️❤

Hi Emily hope you are well❤❤ love to watch your videos and love the songs❤❤❤❤❤❤

Love watching your cleaning and organising videos🥰. Looking forward to see where you're going on your holidays and for the holiday content! Sorry to hear about your panic attack, sending lots of love. I'm sure you'll smash it next time💪🏻xx

your positive energy is contageous❤

Hi Emily loved this video,so much of which I can relate to .My sons are now 38 and nearly 37,ones married with a newborn son other one gets married in November.The hardest times for me were when they started driving.we were upstairs in our chalet bungalow and the boys rooms were downstairs.I made them promise me that when they went out they left their doors open which meant if I looked down and saw the doors shut I knew the were home and only then would I go to sleep.Also I had anxiety attacks when I hit the menopause and they stared again 7 weeks ago when my lovely mum passed away.I hope you will find a way past them.I love your channel.xx

On the perimenopause, my first symptoms were agitation and anxiety when I’m usually quite chilled. Alsonitritability and anger which doesn’t feel like me at all. I’m 44 and on HRT, life saving! My bloods also said pre-meno but bloods are not reliable or indicated due to daily fluctuations. Thanks for another lovely video. Noticed the Emily song too as I too have a little Emily. X

Thank you for the discount I got my first order for skin and me can't wait to try it ❤❤❤

Hi Emily, so sorry you had a difficult time with recording your audio book and regarding all the life challenges you are experiencing.Sending you good wishes for getting through it all.Please remember that so many of us enjoy listening to your really pleasant voice and your Canadian accent here and there.For sure second time round will go well...mainly because you ve shared your feelings and that s super helpful.Also your Matt is your loving fan always❤ All the rest will fall into place.Thanks for being you here.Much support from us all out here!!❤

Hi Emily, I always try to do grounding when I feel myself become overly anxious. I name outloud: 5 things I can see 4 things I can feel 3 things you hear 2 things you smell 1 thing you taste

Love to watch your videos. I saw your wedding video today, you look better today, it´s like you don't age :)

I wish I could give you a hug!!! I’ve definitely had a moment or 2 of panic but know you can do this!! ❤ you and thank you for sharing with us! 😊

Our nanny is on leave and I’m trying to juggle house work and job with 2 kids ages 3 and 5, I watch your videos everyday for motivation you are really with me helping me thank you Emily ❤much love from Istanbul to you and your family ❤

Hi Emily, I am just watching this and I think I have a good recommmendation regarding time before menopause. I am 43 now and had similar experiences as you (sudden panick attacks…) some years ago. What really helped me was the Book „In the flow“ from Alisa Vitti. For me it came down to follow a cyclic diet and avoid coffee. But there is so much more in the book. Hope this helps. Good luck and Thank your for the Great Content.

Great video which reminds me to clean my fridge out 😂

I developed a panic disorder and the first time was coming back from holiday on the aeroplane! They actually took me off the plane in a wheelchair and I couldn’t go on holiday last year because of the fear of it happening again.I HAVE to get through this fear because my daughter is getting married in Cyprus in 2026…I’ve been put on medication called venlafaxine and it seems to be helping,my anxiety has subsided and I haven’t had any more panic attacks since.I literally couldn’t function before this medication so I hope and pray 🙏 your episode was a one off ❤

Hi i just started to watch your channel this year and i absolutely love your videos If you dont mind me asking what football team do you support

As someone who has never had anxiety in my life,peri menopause brought it in with a force! I can't even pinpoint what triggers it but small spaces and feeling overwhelmed definitely are triggers. It's such a horrible feeling! I hope you get through the second taping anxiety free!

I like the "Emily" song in the background! What a genuine and motivating video

On the topic of kids, it definitely gets much harder as they get older but grab those moments to build memories as much as you can. As once they leave, its worse. And try having 3 teenage daughters, Emily!😂😂😂 Thankfully, I only have one at home, now. But even she has her moments!

I enjoyed every second ❤ and you r so right about the kids when they are growing up... 😂😊

Hi Emily❤great video content! I recently watched Amy Landino on RU-vid and she recorded her audible book in her house in a small space and used bits of things to make to sound like a soft box or a real studio. Just thought you should try it out and be comfortable then the panic attacks won’t appear! Keep on making amazing content ❤🫶

Lovely vlog Emily , sorry to hear about your panick attack but glad you're okay now ....for sure harder as the kids get older & needs much greater ....I miss them little boys running around the house not a care in the world .....❤ thank you Emily

Feel bad for you Emily, anxiety is scary, I like lavender scent and herbal tea twinings calm. Meditation really helps. Hope you feel better ❤️

Hi Emily! You look lovely today! Do you know if Skin and Me is available in the US? Thanks for the wonderful video! You never disappoint! ❤

Can you share Matt’s recipe for the chicken curry naan? It looks so delicious!❤

I enjoy your get it all done videos!

Hey Emily, great vlog as always! On the topic of menopause, I'm in my 50s and very lucky to have never had any symptoms or had the menopause yet... However, if you are getting panic attacks, try and suck on icecubes, breathe slowly and deeply and when leading upto talks on your book do relaxing things, like going for a walk, reading a book etc. I know that is a hard one, but if your heart rate is up, panic attacks are more likely as i suffer from them, but mine have calmed down considerably. Also, have a good diet as eating healthy and really does help. As i know you are already doing. I remember my first book signing, and I had just been in hospital for a serious illness but had a book signing in 10 days! In the end, I managed to have my book signing successfully and some radio interviews later. So I'm positive you'll be absolutely fine, Emily!😊❤

Meant to say I use the rescue remedy in the dropper bottle and also the pastilles which I keep in the car and my dog walking bag,do find they help me so may be worth a try xx

Hi Emily. I remember you nice said you take collagen. What would you recommend. Thank you. X

Love your dress Emily, exactly what I'm looking for, may I ask where it is from? Thank you ❤

I used to get terrible panic attacks and they really are awful,I feel for you, I was advised to wear a rubber band on my wrist ,and whenever panic started I used to ping the band and tell myself all is well ,I’m ok and safe ,and I have to say it did work ! Even though it’s sounds crazy! my kids are all older ,one lives with girlfriend,the other is the oldest and travels with work over seas ,so always comes home regularly! And my youngest is at university studying to be paediatric nurse ,so is home regularly and intends to live at home permanently when she is finished at uni,I’ve always believed your kids need you more once they start senior school and onwards ,we need them when they are babies etc,I was a air stewardess working long haul flights and other mums slated and judged me all the time for being away over night etc,but when they all went back to work when there kids got older I reduced my hours drastically,so I was there for them when they most needed me, enjoy every moment of their teenage years with their friends as well ,my house and garden was the social gathering place for the kids instead of them being on the streets ,and I enjoyed every moment and am still in touch with so many of my daughters friends,your doing an amazing job both you and your husband ,I love your vloggs ,sorry for such long post ,I watch but don’t normally make comments x

I would really recommend listening to the Disordered podcast, it really helped me with my anxiety / dealing with panic attacks :)

Matt's face eating the turkey bacon, hehe! 😊 I hope you can keep the panic attacks at bay, I have them now and again and they're scary. Have a lovely weekend! 💕

Wow youre going to Bali!! So excited! Hello from Jakarta, Indonesia 👋🏻❤

Hey Emily, sounds very much like peri menopausal ❤ Have you tried Rescue Remedy - I’ve found it works really well - lots of love and can’t wait to hear your Audible xxx

Love the Emily song ❤️

The goal posts keep moving and you'll always worry however old they are! Wait till they learn to drive! Then coming home in the early hours, you won't sleep till you hear that key in the door! But I wouldn't want change a thing. 🥰💕

Hi Emily hope your well! Fantastic video as always! Love your content, your amazing keep the fantastic content coming lots of love to you and your amazing family!! 💯❤️💙🐾xxxx

I hope you have a great time when you go back into the studio to record your audio book! 🥰 It is perfectly normal to freak out once in awhile, you are human and sometimes being a human is rough.

Rescue remedy is good and easy to take without anyone really noticing :) and cold water to drink always helps me.

Lovely video as always. I can only imagine how horrible it was to have that experience. Is it possible to have a fan on in there as the breeze might make you feel like you are in an outside, spacious area? Xx

Emily hope you're ok, had panic attacks after dad died, we're in essex back to where we met 40 yrs ago, celebrating 25th wedding anniversary ❤❤

Sorry to hear about the panic attack this has happened to someone I know and you can get a spray from the doctor I will try and find the brand for you and also thanks so much for recommending fussy I have used it from your recommendation and won’t go back to spray! It’s brilliant so thank you for the discount code xx

I think I've got perimenopause but I had anxiety and depression before it started anxiety is much worse. Gosh you seem to be going on holiday a lot lol Bali sounds amazing

Hiya, I totally agree about how things feel the older the children get. My eldest is currently doing GCSEs and with that comes making decisions regarding college/ their future with them on top of everything and everyone else's needs... it's so draining as mum especially in your 40's . Think I feel more tired now than when all 3 were small babies and toddlers xx

You are SO LUCKY to never have had panic attacks before and not have a panic disorder. I’ve had panic attacks since childhood, if you don’t suffer from panic disorder then a few things that could help a lot - breathing mindfulness and grounding. I have a band that I snap on my wrist to help grounding.

“That’s red wine 😲😏” 😂

Where did you buy your cake dome please?

Hi , just wondering do you still slice your grapes? My 3 boys are the same age's as yours , xx

Love day in the life’s

Propananol stops the physical symptoms of anxiety such as breathlessness and palpitations. I've just started Boots own Calcium with Magnesium in as i think its supposed to help with perimenopause

Hi Emily! I'm a new subscriber and a 43 married mom of 2 living in the northeast US. I had to laugh when you were talking about teen problems being harder and problems when kids are small being solved by a snack and a nap. My oldest is 16 and the hardest thing is figuring out that I cannot solve her problems for her. But I can be there with a snack, hug (or a reminder to rest and not be so hard on herself). Lots of things change.. but some are the just the same. Also, right there with you on wondering if everything is perimenopause!!!

You can do it Emily ! You’ll get it recorded! Maybe do some meditations focused staying calm over the next little while. If the person who was telling you to slow down could not be there that might help just to not remind you of the first experience. Remember you gave birth to 3 kiddos so you can absolutely do this too!!! 😉

Hi Emily, loved the video. Your panic attack might have just been an adrenaline rush from the excitement of doing the audio book, adrenaline can sometimes trigger the 'fight or flight' reaction and it can be overwhelming, some people actually faint, which is the bodies way of getting you to lie down to lower blood pressure, it happened to me a few years ago, took me awhile to learn how to control it but once you learn that nothing bad is going to happen to you it gets easier ❤️

Early full menopause here at 47. It was and is difficult I also suffer from anxiety now and never has. For panic attacks or to help prevent them I was prescribed Inderal.

Hi Emily, I feel exactly the same about parenting. I have a 13 and 17 year old. The 17 year old seems to need me just as much and the worries are bigger! X

Emily ❤ you look so beautiful. Love your black dress. Good job with the healthy meals.

Maybe try to do the recording after your period, calm gummies(magnesium) and chamomile tea that day. Doing things right before my period is difficult for me personally because of PMDD.

Hi 👋 I'm 34 and I was diagnosed last year with Endometriosis,Endomiosis and Adenomyosis. I have had to be medically put into early menopause. So I'm on HRT patches twice a week and hormone injections every 4 weeks. I do get anxious about things. I get hot flushes, but not at times I'd like to be... usually in the middle of the weekly shop 😅. X

One hack for sorting out bandaids, especially if you have many different kinds, is to get a little coupon sorter/ mini file from the dollar store and make the little pockets hold the different kinds, like different characters if you have a kid who only wants that one kind, or the waterproof ones, or what have you. It really helps them from going everywhere in your first aid kit!

Hi Emily Loved the content of the video so interesting and enjoyable to watch. You showed a clip of the boys getting their hair trimmed by their father. Next time would you mind sharing how it’s done? Especially any tips and tricks. I would be extremely grateful, it would also help me to save £££’s. Thankyou 😊❤

Its been a while but it's raining here in Dublin, Ireland and I really feel that you make these videos just for me 😊 .. but I've just used your discount code for skin & me for the first time.. in the nearly 10 years Ive been following you.. ❤

You look beautiful in this video xxx

Shoot, I was finally ready to dive in an try skin and me and it’s only for UK residence. Gutted. 😞😋 I’ll find something in Canada I’m sure, or maybe skin and me will expand to here 😉

I am 41 too! Thanks for sharing

do you know how much the skin & me daily doser is a month now (un discounted) I did it couple of years ago when you recommend it and it was £25 a month just for the daily doser so I’m guessing it's probably gone up now ?! 😬

Emily, I am a 27 single female so i appreciate you have experienced a lot I may never/wont for a while, but anxiety is something i can relate to. We are all different but emotions are always the same! Remember why you want to do it and that it will have an ending. It isn’t you stuck in that room forever! Think about where you will be the next week and that in a short time you will leave, go home to your safe space and carry on with life! Its not easy but it will pass! 😌 xx

Hi Emily! Im one of your older mums 🙈 but just want to say I feel for your panic attack .. I think as we age we are not quite as carefree as when we are younger 😅 I found I am more anxious about things that didn't worry me before 🤷‍♀️ We are in Perth Western Australia so only 3.5 hrs from Bali its our holiday playground .. Just curious if you UK need to pay at the immigration desk as Aussies we need to give Australian dollars about $55 each (in cash) to the immigration .. you are going to have a great time! Love all your content 🥰🥰 P.S I bought my first Fussy deodarent cant wait!

May i ask where and how much the little hand held hoover is from?

This may sound silly. But when I have panic attacks, or even feel unwell. I try to imagine every butterfly there is, in a endless field of every flower there is. I have done it since I was a kid and sometimes it works. But that's my specific safe place. Maybe the movie Happy Gilmore was onto something haha. Because our happy place is very unique to us as individuals. You created such a safe place for all of us fans and I hope more than anything that you know that.... and it gives you power the next time you record. We love you Emily!

I was terrified of the teenage years ! ( I only have one child - a boy) but because of covid he hasn’t had the normal teenage-hood which is sad in some ways not in others! He’s 16 and goes to bed later than us! And as you say you dont get an evening anymore! one thing Ive noticed for the last couple of years is he spends a lot of time in his room whereas when they’re younger they are around you!

Honestly, if you are having panic attacks, I recommend medication. I know a lot of people don't believe medication is the right path, I was that way too. However, I have been on medication for anxiety and depression for two years and I feel like my life has improved 10x

Hey Emily, get yourself referred to a menopause clinic. Also, if I have those episodes, do some breathwork, so breathe in for 4 then hold for 4 then release for 4. X

Awww i hope the audio book recording goes well Just think about the bigger purpose about why you are recording the audio book- the amount of people you will be helping to have a healthy home❤

Hi again, from Katie in the US

Do you wear make up and do your hair so nice when you are not filming?

It’s my last school run tomorrow and then my youngest daughter leaves school. I’ve been doing school runs for over 20 years and now it’s over. It’s quite sad 🖤

My Mum has always said that the as your children get older the problems don't go away, they just get bigger 😆

Was there an EMILY song in the background?😍🤭
