I am beyond proud to present you with my new podcast, ‘Outside the Lanes’ partnered by Westpac New Zealand. To take on any challenge successfully, first you need to take care of yourself. As a Westpac Ambassador, I’ve been exploring specific areas of growth to inspire you and I to achieve whatever we set our sights on. Outside the Lanes is a podcast that focuses on key themes that are very personal to me – such as leadership, values, balance, health and more. I have carefully selected mentors who are successful in their field to have beautiful conversations with. In every episode I will be asking a new interviewee about them; uncovering their learnings, their challenges, their wins, their journey – ultimately getting under the skin of what it takes to be in their lane.

Being able to incorporate her own personality into her role is something Emma Watkins, best known as the ‘Yellow Wiggle’, finds particularly helpful when navigating her personal life in the public eye. With her down-to-earth attitude, enthusiasm for performance, and love of children and animals, it’s not hard to see why Emma is adored by fans both young and old.
When a diagnosis of stage 4 endometriosis took Emma abruptly off the stage and into surgery in 2018, Emma made the decision to talk openly about her journey with the disease in the hopes of raising awareness and starting conversations that would impact women’s health in a positive way. Emma manages to use both her social media platforms and her Wiggles platform to build on inclusiveness, and has been incorporating sign language into performances for years to create content that is accessible for deaf and hearing-impaired children.
In this episode of Outside the Lanes with Sophie Pascoe, Emma discusses her life-long passion as a performer, how she maintains health and wellness with a demanding schedule, and why she can’t wait to be back on New Zealand soil.
