During this episode, Emma addresses the common fears and uncertainties that many recent graduates face as they begin transitioning into post-grad life. She opens up about navigating change, highlighting the fact that there is no rule book for this stage of life, and delves into the ever-present question of "What's next?" Emma touches on various topics, including embracing change, owning the power of your "Yes," and understanding that all the emotions you are feeling are valid, even when they don't seem like it at times. So, whether you're a recent graduate, in the midst of your post-grad journey, or simply curious about what lies ahead, this episode is a must-listen.

This week, Emma is joined on the podcast by one of her best college friends to introduce and explore the value of slowing down! Gina Miklasz discusses her experiences and the lessons she gained when incorporating this practice into her own life (something Emma struggles with immensely). You will hear honest, open discussions on how, during times of transition in your life, you could experience feelings of loneliness (let's normalize that!! ), about the practice of caring less so that you can care more, and everything on being mindful. If we're being honest, they are incredibly difficult to put into practice when you're 20. Nevertheless, I hope we can all start to make little adjustments to better embrace the important parts of life. 

Oh, birthdays! You are super fun, mostly exciting, can't forget stressful, a little anxiety inducing, and sometimes just lonely. Emma turns 24 and wants to have a candid episode on all things birthdays. This year was Emma's first birthday in LA, and she felt the birthday feelings. Emma will take you through the actual day of her birthday, her silent disco celebration, and all the emotions in between. This week, we'll break into everything from experiencing birthday joy and love to experiencing sadness and loneliness as well as how to handle any unwelcome anxieties or worries. But still, HAPPY 24TH BIRTHDAY, EMMA!
