For years, I felt like I was barely keeping it together—working, raising twins, managing a household, and constantly trying to be everything to everyone.
Hey, I’m Emma Krause—a comedian, teacher, Heal Your Life trainer, Louise Hay enthusiast, and mum.
I was exhausted, overwhelmed, and honestly, I didn’t even know who I was anymore.
A few things happened around the time I turned 40 that really changed the trajectory of my life.
I read Women Who Run with the Wolves by Clarissa Pinkola Estés.
This book woke up a part of me. A part that I didn’t even realise was buried under years of trying to meet everyone else’s expectations.
The stories and wisdom in this book reminded me that there’s a wild, intuitive side of me—a side that’s creative, emotional, and powerful—and that it's important to embrace that.
The book helped me see that the way I was feeling wasn’t a flaw or weakness—it was a signal that I’d drifted away from my true self.
It guided me out of a dark place by showing me that my struggles were actually a call to reconnect with the parts of me I’d forgotten. It gave me the courage to trust myself again, release what no longer served me, and start living in a way that felt authentic and true.
#1
In many ways, it was like finding my way back home to who I really was.
So this led to ...
#2
I decluttered my home. Clearing the clutter out of my life changed sooooo much for me.
It gave me room to breathe, dream, and rediscover who I truly was.
Something I thought would just clear my physical space, ended up transforming so much more.
As I stripped away all the "stuff" I didn’t need, I started to feel lighter, clearer, and more like myself.
Then, in the middle of decluttering my office, I found something I hadn't seen in YEARS.
An old comedy book I’d started writing as a kid.
It reminded me of how much I once loved telling jokes and making people laugh.
I didn't think I'd ever REALLY go through with trying stand up comedy...
But then,
#3
happened...
This highlighted to me just how much life I still have ahead of me. I thought about how I still had SIXTY YEARS ahead of me...
When I asked my Nan if she had any regrets, her answer was so simple but so powerful...
she didn’t have any.
She said she'd lived her life, not a life others expected, and she left nothing on the table.
I watched my Nan turn 100.
These three things really impacted me. I really wanted to live my own life, and listen to what I felt called to do...
But the idea of trying stand-up comedy?
That felt impossible. I had an ENORMOUS fear of public speaking. The mere thought of standing in front of a crowd, trying to be funny, was enough to make my stomach flip.
Could I really do it? Could I actually try stand-up?
It was like the book "The Women Who Run with the Wolves" answered me with this quote....
All the "not readies," all the "I need time," are understandable, but only for a short while. The truth is that there is never a "completely ready," there is never a really "right time."
As with any descent to the unconscious, there comes a time when one simply hopes for the best, pinches one's nose, and jumps into the abyss. If this were not so, we would not have needed to create the words heroine, hero, or courage.
I found comedy to be absolutely TERRIFYING—heart-racing, sweat-dripping, stomach-churning terrifying.
But it was also exhilarating.
Facing such a big fear felt powerful—like I was finally taking back control.
I decided to keep going.
It wasn’t just about becoming a comedian; it was about proving that fear didn’t get to run my life anymore. I started to realise that I was so much more than my fears, doubts, and insecurities.
I learned so much doing comedy.
It didn’t just make me laugh—it pushed me to grow.
It taught me resilience, helped me build confidence, and showed me I could trust myself even when I was full of doubt.
More than anything, it proved the power of stepping outside my comfort zone and facing the things that scare me the most.
I’ve had some pretty amazing opportunities in comedy—reaching the Finals of Australia’s Got Talent, playing Sue Finley for Oz Lotto, and touring with The Motherhood.
Another big highlight has been taking my own comedy show on the road.
Mostly because of the way it's allowed me to connect with so many women who feel the same as I once did.
Hearing them say how much the show’s message resonated, how it made them felt seen and understood—has been really meaningful.
I love making people laugh, but knowing the show creates a space where women feel less alone and more validated in their struggles? That’s what truly makes it all worthwhile.
I still love doing comedy, but my real passion is helping women rediscover themselves.
Through workshops, courses, and sharing my story, I want to inspire others to reconnect with their spark, face their fears, and create lives that feel true and meaningful.
If you’ve ever felt stuck or too scared to go after what you want, I get it—I’ve been there. But it’s never too late to make a change, and sometimes, the scariest steps are the ones that lead to the most freedom.
