  • What If Your Real Assignment Looks Nothing Like Your Dream? ft. Rex Crain

    Your calling isn’t just about you. It carries breakthroughs for others.

    And when you obey, miracles move.

    Rex Crain is an acclaimed speaker, writer, and peak performance coach who has spent the last 25 years helping people unlock their potential and walk boldly in their God-given calling. He has worked with Fortune 500 companies, Olympic athletes, entertainment executives, medical professionals, and individuals from all walks of life, from the world’s most elite stages to some of its most broken places.

    In this episode, Rex unpacks the radical decision that took him from the MLB to sweeping floors in a church, all to follow a voice greater than success. Through stories of disruption, obedience, miracles, and spiritual boldness, Rex shows us what it really takes to walk in purpose. 

    He reveals:
    • The truth about calling, pain, and spiritual identity
    • How obedience to God brings favor, miracles, and clarity
    • Why success isn’t the goal and what significance looks like
    • The surprising link between compassion and calling
    • The powerful story of a young boy brought back to life through prayer

                                              • Beyond Exhaustion: Your Exit Plan from Burnt Out to Blazing Forward

                                                Let me ask you something… when was the last time you actually felt at peace? Like, deep, soul-level peace — not drowning in your to-do list, not filling every empty space on your calendar just to feel productive. When was the last time you felt calm? Or honestly… the last time you felt like yourself. Can’t remember? I get it.

                                                Today, I’m coming in with a message you probably didn’t know you needed. We’re talking burnout — how to recognize it, why it’s showing up in your life, and most importantly, how to finally break free from it. And I’m not here to sugarcoat anything. I’m giving you the raw, real Emily per usual, because I’ve been there — burnt out, overcommitted, and losing my sense of self because I was trying to do all things and be all things for everyone else. 

                                                If that’s you right now, this episode is your reset button. It’s time to clear your calendar, set some boundaries, and finally step into the peace and purpose God designed for you. Because here’s the thing: You were never meant to live burnt out. You were meant to live blazing forward, filled with clarity, energy, and purpose. Let’s dive in!

                                                    • Feeling Chaotic? A Staycation Might Be Your Answer

                                                      Feeling overwhelmed and stretched too thin? Trust me, I get it. Between business, relationships, and life’s constant demands, it’s easy to find yourself running empty. But here’s the thing — sometimes, the reset you need is not a big elaborate vacation or a complete overhaul of your routine. It’s much simpler than that. 

                                                      Today, I am joined by husband, Jake, to talk about how a 24-hour staycation in Beverly Hills gave us exactly the reset we didn’t even realize we needed. We’re going to dive into why switching up your environment, even for a short period, can shift your energy, deepen your connection, and bring clarity where there once was chaos. We’ll share how this quick getaway helped us break free from the everyday stress, sparked fresh creativity and brought us closer than ever before. 

                                                      If you’ve been feeling drained, uninspired, or just off, then you need to hear this! Because the reality is, your best ideas and your biggest breakthroughs don’t happen when you’re drowning in the day-to-day grind. They happen when you create space for them. Let’s dive in!

                                                      In this episode:
