What Fulfills You?

#296: It's very common to "lose ourself" in one way or another when we get into a new relationship. It's even easier to do so when you don't have a very clear idea of who you are and what you like and don't like.

So how can you prevent some of this? How can you work towards better self-awareness and clearer understanding of who you are and what is actually aligned with you?

Emily dives into all of that on this short episode and shares her insights from personal experience with a previous 4-year relationship.

#294: One of the biggest obstacles we face as we navigate adulthood is figuring out our personal finances. From how to make more, save, invest, and of course, how to actually be conscious with the way we spend our money.

It's easy nowadays to just click the purchase button on Amazon and not think anything of it. It's easy to just swipe your credit card on everything you want, but probably shouldn't be buying. It's also easy to hoard a lot of unnecessary items in your closet.

So how can we work to be more mindful and conscious with spending money? Emily shares her personal tips on this episode and what she does exactly to be more "in control" of where her money goes, while also being savvy by investing another percentage of her disposable income into a long-term investment account.

Book mentioned in this episode:

• I Will Teach You to Be Rich by Ramit Sethi

#292: This week's bonus episode is a quick one, focused on insights and ideas around how you can take better initiative of your life; whether that be finding more likeminded women and friends, taking on hobbies that actually interest you (pottery class, writing class, piano, sports league, etc.), and how the lack of these elements may be part of the reason as to why you don't feel deeply fulfilled in your own life.

#291: In April 2023, Emily sat down next to an elder couple in their 80s in Florence, Italy and ended up striking a meaningful conversation with them. To the point that they invited her and her friend for hot coca after dinner to continue the conversations.

This couple has been married for 60 years, while also building a fortune well over $500M through the sale of three companies and the husband now invests as a shareholder in other companies in UK and overseas, while leading his own philanthropy organization to give back to seriously ill children.

A little more than a year later, Emily reconnected with them in-person, this time, in England where they reside, and had the opportunity to stay with them for a few days and soak in the perspectives they had to share on life in their 84 years of living.

Topics discussed:

• Ultimate question to ask yourself to determine if that is truly your life partner (more than one couple shared this)
• Key ingredient to career and personal success
• How true wealth is built and rarely ever that flashy externally
• Importance of having your own life as a woman, outside of being a wife, mother, etc.
• How marriage can last after 50+ years of being together (and the foundation of it)

#289: If you struggle to separate your decision making from parents, family, or friends, then this episode is for you.

It's common for us to get caught up in the opinions of our loved ones and what they want or think is best for us.

But it's important to remember that at the end of the day, the decisions we make for our lives - whether it's who we marry, where we go to school, where we live, etc., that impacts YOU.

You live with those decisions, not the people that try to influence you.

#288: On this episode, Emily gets candid and shares one of her top secrets to her success in personal life and in her businesses. While sharing this with others, she realized that not many people actually follow up as much as they need to and are often losing out on great opportunities, whether career or personal related, due to the lack of following up.

One of the primary reasons Emily was able to scale her boutique marketing agency to 6-figures is because of the amount of following up she did with potential clients and partners.

She also applies this in personal life, when it comes to making plans and time to see friends. While maybe following up five times is not the move in personal life, it's important to put ego aside and still follow up with friends if you want to make the connection and create time to see one another.

If you're looking for a little nudge on how to follow up more and feel more confident about doing so, this episode is a must listen.
