All (Em)bracing

This week's episode involves a discussion surrounding distraction and how we can minimize the chaos from our mind, body, and surroundings. We have experienced benefits in our own lives by maintaining a tidy space, making time to care for the vessel of our bodies, and prioritizing time free of distraction to improve spiritual and mental health.

We’re tackling the topic of burnout this episode after both of us experienced it this past week feeling exhausted, unmotivated, or simply in a funk. The purpose of this episode is to reinforce the unity we have as human beings who all experience seasons similar to this. If you are feeling this way frequently though, we encourage you to talk to a loved one and seek professional guidance [we are not therapists ;)]. In its entirety, we think there is a lot of value in sharing the unmotivated and exhausted times just as much as the ambitious and encouraging seasons. There is so much freedom in allowing ourselves to acknowledge how we’re truly feeling and we realize the goodness that is unleashed when internal guilt is fought with grace of the heart.

Do you ever wonder how you could better orient yourself for launch toward your goals? Or how to root yourself in a positive mindset while working at those goals? We do too, which is why we took this episode to discuss the practices and experiences that have shaped our goal-setting journeys thus far. Making a plan for sacrifices upfront when it comes to goal-setting, depending on an encouraging support system, and choosing to seek the goodness throughout the journey are just a few of the truths we discussed, and we hope you’ll share some of your insight with us too!

In this week’s episode Emma & Emma are back and are taking on the topic of people pleasing and navigating life through the forest of other people’s perceptions and expectations.

We also touch on why it’s not sustainable to live around the wishes and expectations of those surrounding you. We hope you enjoy!
