People are thrilled to see her back in action, and can’t wait to see where life leads her next.

In an Instagram post, Emily wrote: “Lately, I’ve been hiding away, letting the fear of what others think and the worry of saying or doing something wrong hold me back.

“I’ve been paralysed by the fear of offending someone, and in doing so, I’ve strayed from the very advice I’ve been giving others for the past 14 years.

“In life, there will always be people sitting in the cheap seats, never daring to step onto the floor. From their safe distance, they hurl mean-spirited criticisms and put-downs.

“But here’s the thing: if we stop caring entirely about what others think and become numb to cruelty, we risk losing our ability to connect with others. On the other hand, if we let ourselves be defined by those opinions, we lose the courage to be vulnerable and authentic.

“The key is to be selective about the feedback we allow into our lives. For me, if you’re not also putting yourself out there or you’re not an expert in that field, your feedback doesn’t matter.

“Surround yourself with those who understand the struggle, who are brave enough to be vulnerable, and who are fighting their own battles. It’s in this shared courage and resilience that we find true connection and strength.

“So, step into your arena, embrace your journey and let your courage shine. You are not defined by the critics in the cheap seats, but by your own daring spirit.”

Since she shared the post, it’s been liked over 18,000 times, and her fans are clearly happy to see her smiling again. Emily boasts a huge following online, and people rely on her uplifting content to boost their own confidence.

It’s clear her absence from social media hasn’t gone unnoticed, and people are thrilled to see she’s got her mojo back. They thought she looked absolutely amazing in her latest snaps.

One person said: “Smoking hot and beautiful inside and out. Your quirks are what make you you.”

Another added: “Emily you are magical. Don’t let anyone to convince you that you are not. Just be YOU.”

A third fan chimed in: “People online just hate for the sake of being hateful. It’s got nothing to do with you. You’re a light and people who don’t like it will try to dim it because they’re upset they don’t have it themselves.

“I feel sorry for the haters because they’re not happy people.”

In addition, a fourth follower added: “You look absolutely beautiful! Don’t let others ignorance bring you down. Your heart is always in the right place, and that’s what makes you amazing!”

“Keep doing you boo! Always love reading your post and seeing all your photos. You are very inspiring.”
