The Em&M Show

Hi guys! Welcome back to another week’s episode.

Here is a highly requested episode topic: social anxiety! In this episode we dive deep into this topic and discuss why you're feeling social anxiety, and how to overcome it for good. 

Do you get this feeling as well? It seems like the world is becoming more and more socially anxious. As technology improves and "social" apps grow, it seems that we are becoming more socially disconnected. So often we reach for our phones to escape the uncomfortable anxiety we feel. Completely unaware that doing this makes our social anxiety worse every time. 

The funny thing is... you aren't awkward, your social anxiety is making you awkward! Remember that the next time you have your inner dialogue telling you to feel anxious.

Hi guys! Welcome back to another week's episode :)

Are you feeling judged by the people around you? Does it feel like you can't get a break from the incessant belittling comments and jabs? Feels super sucky... right? But wait... what if you were able realize that people aren't judging you, you're judging yourself. Seems backwards... I know! But making this realization will change your life!

In this episode we are discussing exactly how we can make this realization. This realization will allow you to  overcome the sucky feeling of judgement. We discuss the fundamental fact that feeling self conscious about what others think of you is a direct reflection of how you think of yourself. People who are doing better than you in life will never call you down. It is important that you learn confidence and authenticity to life a fulfilled life. We offer the practical steps to making this your reality!

Hi guys! Welcome back to another weeks episode. 

This week we are talking about the difference between processing emotions & ruminating in emotions. We've all been there right... drowning in the same catastrophizing thought & we can't seem to get rid of it. If this has been you, this is the episode that will change that forever! 

Emily  discusses 2 tones of your emotions and proposes the question - are your thoughts, feelings, and emotions "love based" or "fear based." 

We dive into emotional intelligence and talk about how to differentiate between thoughts, feelings. emotions. By doing this, it allows us to process rather than ruminate. 

Finally we end it with 5 practical steps that you can directly apply to your life!

Hi guys! Welcome back to another week's episode :)

We hear about investing our money every day! When was the last time you heard of investing... but in terms of TIME? More important than investing your money correctly, is investing your time correctly! The habits and tendencies we have today will reap immensely greater rewards than anything our money could ever do.

In this episode, we dive right into the topic of INVESTING your TIME correctly. We discuss 2 major things: 1) health & 2) yourself. When we talk about health we dive into physical, mental & emotional, connectional & relationships and spiritual health. When discussing the topic of self, we dive into investing into skills, habits, and character traits. We offer practical steps for each of these categories and things you can start doing immediately to see improvement. 

Your life is up to you! Don't reach an old age and say "I wish i would've...X" (I promise you won't be saying many things about money but mostly about health & yourself.)

Hi guys! Welcome back to another weeks episode!

Walking away from medicine... walking away from stability, benefits, and a clear path to life... was SCARY! It took courage. Or did it? Did I have the courage to walk away & then actually did it? I actually don't think so. I think the order was... I walked away and then gained courage. You don't gain courage and face your fear... you face your fear and gain courage! 

In this episode we are discussing developing courage in life & how to love a courageous life. You don't have to overcome your fear to start doing anything. Just grab that fear, put in your pocket and walk with it! We are going to detail various points about courage and of course, offer practical steps you can implement into your own life to live more courageously!

Welcome back to another week's episode! We are happy you are here. 

What are you chasing in life? Are you just things that are 100% worthwhile & valuable or are you chasing things that are difficult to obtain? It seems that many of us in society have confused things that are just difficult to obtain with things that are worthwhile & valuable. Think of it this way - many individuals are chasing dream homes, expensive vacations, Rolex watches, the fastest cars, right? Those things are 100% difficult to obtain. But are they 100% worthwhile & valuable? 

In this episode we discuss chasing things that are 100% worthwhile & valuable to us over chasing things that are just difficult to obtain. We discuss worthwhile things, chasing attributes over possessions & where we are spending our time. We also offer practical steps you can take to start chasing things that will make your life full & beautiful!

Hey guys welcome back to another weeks episode! 

This week we are diving into the 4 Horsemen of the Apocalypse - Relationship style! The 4 Horsemen of the Apocalypse is a biblical metaphor that depicts the end of times. The Gottmans (Marriage & Family therapists & researchers) changed this metaphor to be more applicable to relationships. They researched & discovered "4 Horsemen" that depict the "end of relationships." The 4 Horsemen are 1) Criticism 2) Contempt 3) Defensiveness & 4) Stonewalling.

In this episode, we detail what these 4 Horsemen look like in real time. We give practical examples that will help you to look into your own relationships. We then offer 1 antidote for each Horsemen; which can be used as better alternatives to the Horsemen.

We are all doing these things to some degree... the important thing we do is 1) realize we are doing it & 2) understand the "antidotes" to the Horsemen. Relationships are a work in progress. Join us for this episode so that you can better understand how to improve your relationships!

Hey guys, welcome to a new episode!

In this week, we discuss the 2 keys to building self-confidence. These 2 keys are: 1) Making and Keeping the Promises we Make to Ourselves & 2) Deriving confidence from the right places.

Alex Hormozi says: "You don't gain confidence from shouting affirmations in the mirror but by having a stack of undeniable proof that you are who you say you are. You do what you say you do."  It easy terms - you keep the promises you make to yourself! Consistency plays a major role in developing confidence. You have to be willing to put in the reps. Those reps are pieces of the "process." As we change our focus from being results driven, to process driven, our confidence will grow. 

In addition to that, it is also key that we derive our confidence from the right places. Confidence comes from within the human soul. Our confidence cannot come from anyone or anything outside of ourselves. 

We share personal stories of times where we have struggled with self-confidence and how we have been able to overcome our pitfalls. 

This episode will give you practical steps to improve your confidence as you implement them into your own life. Tune in! You don't want to miss it.
