Perhaps the best part of life is that you always get the CHOICE – of the path you want to take, of the things that matter to you the most, and of the person you want to be.

In a conversation on the more profound topics of guilt, liberation, and spirituality, we're joined by our co-host and badass attorney-turned-content creator, Emily D. Baker. Emily and Aprille talk about being your own boss in life, work, and relationships. Emily also talks about her journey from law to content creation and how venturing into a path she had no idea about was more fun than unnerving.
