In this enlightening episode, we had the pleasure of chatting with Emily Gomez, a Seattle-based wellness and fitness enthusiast, and the visionary behind EM (Emmy Movement). Emily's passion for holistic wellness stems from her lifelong dedication to athletics and physical activity. From playing golf and achieving a black belt at an early age to becoming a former cycle instructor and collegiate runner, Emily's journey has been marked by a relentless pursuit of health and vitality.

After relocating to Seattle in 2019, Emily discovered the transformative power of skeletal muscle mass and strength training on overall health and longevity. Guided by a top-level strength coach, she embraced a no-excuses approach to fitness, whether at the gym, on the road, or at home. Emily's Emmy Movement brand embodies the belief that each of us has the potential to be the best version of ourselves, contributing to a better world when we prioritize our well-being.

Throughout our conversation, Emily shared insights on various topics, starting with the impact of our social circle on personal growth. She emphasized the positive influence of mentors, coaches, and personal trainers, highlighting the role they play in shaping our mindset and daily habits. Emily also delved into the importance of a growth mindset and positive coping skills in navigating life's challenges, allowing us to approach each day with resilience and determination.

We explored the topic of confidence and self-care, discussing hair extensions, Botox, fillers, aesthetics, and skincare as tools for enhancing self-confidence and well-being. Emily also asked Dr. Kandace about her practice, balancing motherhood with her career, and the support she receives from her family. Dr. Kandace then shared valuable insights into navigating life's seasons of growth and change with her partner, Nick, emphasizing the importance of teamwork and communication.

As our conversation continued, we touched on topics such as training, sleep hygiene, and nutrition, underscoring the importance of holistic wellness practices. Emily also shared her goals for 2024 and discussed the significance of community and giving back as integral parts of her purpose-driven life.
