ABOUT EMMA
"Here’s what I did starting at the age 14 when I hit rock bottom which got me here today:
- slowly started waking up earlier until I reached 5am and worked out before school at this time - deleted Snapchat and blocked all toxic friendships online - refused to let kids at school into my life/ control me anymore - only went to school to study and learn - spent every minute at home pursuing my side hustle (this account) - physically stopped talking to anyone who used me/ made my life bad (chose loneliness over fake friends) - found a way of eating that worked for me (plant based, whole foods) - started exercising every day (things I loved like running) - set time limits on my phone for social media and screen time - made my purpose inspiring and helping people so that I had joy and a reason to live
And one day many months later I woke up and realised my life could not get any better, despite the fact that I was physically still in the same environments.
You are the only person that will change your life!
