#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.
