#195: On this raw talk segment, Emily sits down with a close friend (and former co-worker) Jordan Voth to chat about all things having a secure and healthy relationship. Emily often asks Joran about her approach and perspective around her nearly 4-year relationship and notices that she has a very secure and confident framework, while also enabling herself to "live her own individual life" in her early-mid 20s.

Tune in to this episode to hear a unique perspective from a fellow 20-some year old on how you can shift your framework to develop healthier behaviors in your romantic relationship.

#194: (REPOST EPISODE) We all go through various changes in life and at certain times, we are faced with the choice of taking a leap and leaving our comfort zone (maybe like your hometown, current job, etc.) or living with the question of, "what if?"

On this episode, Emily dives into her personal experience from leaving her hometown of 8,000 people to move to Southern California by herself at the age of 18 (plus leaving that comfort zone and heading to NYC), how she overcame the fear of the unknown, and the specific questions she asked herself in order to let go of the worry and adapt to the big changes.

#191: How often do you catch yourself feeling bothered, annoyed, and maybe even angry because of others, or even worse, towards other people?

Perhaps it's because you feel as though they caused your pain or suffering, but what if you re-framed the situation in your mind? What if you considered the fact that they are human (that makes mistakes) and that they didn't know any better in the moment?

Or better yet, consider being more compassionate with a deeper understanding for another person's perspective. On this episode, Emily shares her recent implementation of mindfulness from Buddhist monk Thicht Nhat Hanh and how the practice of deep compassion for others has enabled her to feel more internally calm and peace, especially in times where she would normally feel resentful and hurt.

Learn how you can shift your perspective and bring more internal peace and happiness into your life with this small practice.

#189: On this episode, Emily opens up about her recent (and somewhat current) internal struggles and how it relates to a similar feeling she felt during a low period of life many years ago.

While sharing these mental and emotional blocks she is currently facing, she touches on how she notices the immense push for personal growth, something she needed for awhile, and how she utilizes the practice of mindfulness from Thich Nhat Hanh and how it may also be helpful for you in "getting out of your head" and learning to see things in a more objective lens.

#186: Do you ever feel conflicted in drawing boundaries with which friends you go to for advice and opinions? Maybe you've come to notice that some friends are always siding with you and that what you really need is an objective perspective and maybe even a little "tough love" to help with your continuous growth and improvement.

On this episode, Emily shares her perspective and thoughts on how she mindfully selects certain people to ask for opinion and insight (outside of her therapist) and what she considers before actually asking those specific friends and peers.

If you struggle with knowing who to go to for insight and advice for different obstacles in your life, then you'll want to tune in to this episode.
