20: Taking the Leap to Follow Your Dreams (The Story of Simplified)

It’s scary to dream big – to imagine the hard work and sacrifice that come with chasing what’s in your heart. But what if achieving your goal helps you build a life you love and helps thousands of women along the way? You’d probably decide it was all worth it – that’s how Emily feels. As Simplified celebrates its 13th birthday, Emily shares how Simplified started as a dream to help women live and work well, grew into late nights watching YouTube videos on designing note cards and invitations for an Etsy shop, and eventually evolved into creating the Simplified Planner, writing bestselling books, and creating a beloved brand. Emily shows how to keep moving forward after big life changes (because balancing a new company and a new baby is hard) and how to bounce back after making a million mistakes (because that’ll definitely happen when you try something new).   Thanks to our affiliate partner!
