What Fulfills You?

#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.

#184: Cultivating self-confidence is one of the most important skills one can ever have and the first secret is that it all starts with yourself.

But you might wonder, where do I begin? How can I actually "work on" my confidence? Ironically, it's truly just like training any other muscle...you take specific actions (just like you would in the gym) in order to build on it over time. In other words, it's certainly not overnight, but you can at least start with specific steps.

Tune in to this solo episode to hear Emily share her personal secrets on how she cultivated self-confidence over time and how she continues to maintain it by repeatedly doing these action steps.

#180: Do you often struggle with "mastering your emotions" or you notice that you become bothered by someone's actions (or lack thereof)? Or maybe you recognize that there is a fluctuation in how you feel based on the external environment such as types of people you're with, when something comes up at work, having conflict in a relationship or friendship, etc.

We all deal with it. But the question is, how do we master ourselves to reduce the way it impacts us? Ultimately - how do we maintain a high vibration, even when others are dragging us down with their "low energy"?

On this solo episode, Emily dives into the Hawkins Scale of Consciousness, the impact of vibrating at a frequency of love, and the triggers she uses to maintain her energy at this level, even when others or situations outside of her are lower.

#179: Sabrina Zohar started her career in the fashion industry, working sales for large brands and showrooms. In the industry, she particularly noticed how brands were both ripping their consumers off with low-quality materials and offshore and unethical manufacturing plants and damaging the environment with inefficient and wasteful standard manufacturing processes. When her mother went to the doctor with a headache, was diagnosed with six brain aneurysms, and given a three-percent chance of survival, Sabrina realized there was more. She watched as her mother took this time of adversity as a moment to find gratitude.

When her mother survived, Sabrina decided to start Softwear the next day. After spending eight months creating the exclusive fabric and deals already in place with dozens of vendors, retailers, and other outlets, including The Iconic, Bloomingdales, Tracy Anderson Method, Rumble, and more, the brand has experienced unexpected success at a very early stage. Softwear is set to potentially make a lasting impact on the sustainable apparel industry while inspiring female founders and empowering US-based businesses and environmentally and ethically-conscious consumers.

Topics discussed:

• The story behind the brand Softwear
• How Sabrina took unique approaches to getting her products into retail stores
• Reality of working with Bloomingdales and "big department stores"
• Overcoming the differences with family and parents (especially first-generation immigrants)
• The real price of entrepreneurship and sacrifices you need to make
• Creating boundaries between your friendships, romantic relationship, and work
• How to know if a partner truly likes you and the importance of being upfront about expectations

#178: How often do you try to "escape" the feeling when you're feeling in a rut or just simply "down"? Maybe you immediately turn on the TV to watch a show or hop on Netflix to binge a few movies. We've all been there.

Most of the time, what you're doing is being avoidant. Avoiding the feeling of discomfort and pain. Avoiding the reality that you need to solve it. Or maybe you get by with "going around the obstacle" only to face it again down the road.

The secret to reducing these constant feelings is finding inner peace - which is a long-term process and often you have to work through it, not around or avoiding it.
