In Order To Live A Fulfilling, Joyful Life, And Build A Personal Brand, You Must Embrace Your Whole Self. Your Highest And Best Self, Including Your Imperfections. The New Golden Rule

The old golden rule says to treat others the way you want to be treated. Emily says, treat yourself the way you want others to treat you. The new golden rule is a guide to help you embrace your whole self.

The way the new golden rule came about was that Emily was doing so much doing for other people seeking validation and acceptance. She was getting to the goal, but wasn’t satisfied and kept wanting more. Throughout this journey, she was never good enough.

She discovered that she was really meant to be an entrepreneur. Even her relationship with her partner shifted seismically.
