Ah, boundaries. A topic we frequent on the podcast, but what does a boundary look like and how is it different from putting up an emotional wall? Boundaries are in place for you to become expansive and look after your emotional, physical and spiritual wellbeing. An emotional wall is a reaction to pain.

In order to have boundaries externally with others, you need to have them internally with yourself. Boundaries require vulnerability, emotional walls barricade your feelings. We're dissecting the difference between the two today with key examples and how to start using small boundaries into your everyday life so they don't seem as scary.

This past week, Emily had the pleasure of meeting and working with Matty Healy from The 1975 and Hayley Williams from Paramore. She shares her experience, interview, and gives us all the juicy details on Matty.

Plus, Hannah is growing money for her debut album and lets know how you can help. It's wrapped up with a beautiful message about chasing dreams and still balancing a healthy 9-5 work/life balance.

So you want to play cupid with your friends love lives? We all do it! Naturally we think all of our friends are great, so if two of them can date then it would be magical! Sometimes, it's not always the best idea though. For some, being set up is a lot better than meeting a stranger on an app or at a bar. For others, it holds too much responsibility and makes them anxious of accidentally screwing up. Just cause someone is a great pal doesn't mean they're a great lover, but sometimes it's exactly what your bestie could need.

We're giving you the do and the don'ts of setting up your friends, get their permission, how and where to introduce them, find out if they're really a good match or a good friend, get the conversation flowing between them, and how to ultimately handle being set up by your friend. Enjoy!

Hannah drops in for this intimate update episode to talk about the important decisions that went into her wedding with Blane, how she and him built an even deeper love in one another with their special moments they worked into the day, and how – even with the various mishaps of the day – she never stressed under the pressure of it all. Thanks to Taylor Swift, of course!
