Emily Schromm is a creator, serial entrepreneur and author helping others empower themselves by way of food, movement and business. She recently published her first book, The Process, and launched EMPRESS, a digital publication filled with workshops, video, audio and written content, live classes and more. Other ventures include EmFit: online nutrition and exercise programs; Evolved Motion: a backpack-turned-weight-training invention to make the world your gym; Element Tea: an herbal tea line; and Platform Strength: a 24/7 access strength gym in RiNO, Denver.Emily joins Steph on the pod this week to talk online personas, letting go of food guilt, and pivoting in both health and career. She reflects on how we limit our identity to what shows up online, and how it can be a detriment to our self development and evolution — because we become so attached to this precious version of ourselves on the internet. Emily reveals how her attitude towards health and fitness have changed, and how she has embraced major pivots in her businesses. Now she asks herself in her work: “Can I help people — especially women — with guilt?” From letting go of ego in training, to removing the association between guilt and food. She recognizes that athletes “don’t have a problem with moving — we have a problem with stopping.” This realization came when she acknowledged that her view of wellness was warped, and that she didn’t want her clients to feel the burnout she was experiencing. “All I was doing was beating my body up — and setting standards I was never able to satisfy. I want to be better everyday — but at what point does that affect your psychology in saying — ‘I am never enough’.”Show Links: Emily on the ‘gram: https://www.instagram.com/emilyschromm/?hl=enEmily on the web: https://emilyschromm.com
