The Real Reason Mark 'Grandpa' Hembrow Left Hollywood Behind

If you're like me, you probably got a bottle of Who Is Elijah in your purse, but the story behind the brand is as amazing as the fragrance itself. Raquel Bouris was working a 9-5 corporate job when she stumbled across this phenomenal scent, and decided to build a business around it. She's gone from bottling in her lounge room to a million-dollar global brand. 

This week, Raquel reveals to me exactly what it took to make the business a success while juggling being a mum, the truth about working with her husband on a daily basis, her lessons in personal and business failure, and her thoughts on whether women can have it all.

In this raw and deeply honest conversation, Zoe Marshall speaks to Emilee about hitting rock bottom, then finding a way back to life. From surviving abuse, embracing grief and redefining manifestation as a grounded, embodied practice, Zoe shares what real healing looks like when you don’t bypass the pain.

Together, Emilee and Zoe explore motherhood, and raising emotionally intelligent children while still healing yourself. This episode serves as a powerful reminder that growth doesn’t come from positivity alone, but from feeling it all.
