The podcast for high-performing humans who want their life to feel as good as it looks on the outside.
If you're a high-functioning human who's so f*cking tired of white-knuckling your way through business and life and calling it "success", you're in the right place.
I’m Emily Rose Dallara - High Performance Coach, Somatic Practitioner, and someone who’s built a business and career while rebuilding my body and nervous system from the inside out.
If you’re into nervous system tools, biohacking, rituals, and performance that doesn’t make you feel more fried, welcomeeee.
Each episode, I break down the sh*t that shapes how you show up in your work, health, relationships, and life. We talk nervous system mastery, trauma healing, energetics, spirituality, business and what it actually takes to feel good and function at your highest level.
Because when you feel better inside, everything you touch gets better too. And honestly, we need more regulated people in the world. So if you're on the same waves, come have a listen.
What happens inside, happens outside. Let what bubbles out, be good.

If you’ve ever felt like building a business and leading a team means carrying the weight of the world on your shoulders—this one’s for you.
I sat down with Chiara Airoldi, co-founder and COO of Cloove, to talk about what it really takes to scale a startup, lead a team, and delegate without turning into a control freak. Chiara shares her journey from working in startups to building her own business, how she raised €400,000 in pre-seed funding, and the biggest lessons she’s learned about leadership, delegation, and building a team that actually takes ownership.
If you’ve ever found yourself micromanaging, struggling to let go of tasks, or feeling stuck in the operational weeds, Chiara breaks down the mindset shifts and systems that make all the difference.
We dive into:
(04:11) Why Chiara left the corporate world and what drew her to startups
(05:59) Raising €400K in pre-seed funding—and the biggest challenges that came next
(06:46) The hardest part of leading a team (hint: it’s not what you think)
(08:54) The one system every founder needs to avoid becoming a bottleneck
(12:35) How to hire people who take initiative (without just throwing money at the problem)
(16:21) The real reason founders struggle to let go of tasks—and how to shift that
(20:19) How to stop sweating small mistakes and focus on what actually moves the needle
(26:19) Managing team mistakes without damaging trust or morale
(32:08) Why standardization is your best friend—and the tool that changed the game for Chiara
(36:30) How Chiara finds time for personal development while running a startup
Chiara keeps it real about the challenges of leadership and how she’s grown as a founder—plus, she shares some practical ways to step out of reaction mode and into high-performance leadership.
If you’re building a team, scaling a business, or just trying to survive startup chaos, this is a must-listen.
