#175: Have you ever had that feeling where you just feel *slightly* stuck? Not in a rut, but just as if there was something really minor in your way.

Most of us will go through that feeling and more often than not, it's our own self holding back. Maybe you're feeling stuck in taking a leap as a full-time entrepreneur/freelancer. Taking a big shift in the new people and aligned friendships. Letting go of an old version of yourself and past patterns that can no longer work in your new chapter.

If you've felt that or are currently feeling this way, then tune in to this episode to hear how Emily overcame her own small mental rut and how a simple "purge" really resolved it all.

#173: Steven Izen, founder & CEO of Lokai & ELEMENTS of Balance. When Steven was 19 years old, his beloved grandfather was diagnosed with Alzheimers - an event that brought Steven to his personal low in life. It was during this time that Steven turned his pain into his purpose and launched his first product, the Lokai bracelet.

These elements serve as a reminder to stay humble and hopeful through life’s inevitable highs and lows.

Lokai has sold over 10 million bracelets globally (hundreds of millions in revenue) and has donated over $9 million to charity as part of its 10% of profits to charity pledge. Steven’s latest venture, ELEMENTS of Balance, is a plant-based drink and supplement brand with clinically-effective levels of adaptogenic herbs that will support a sense of balance in your day-to-day life.

• The scrappy start of Lokai and how it was NOT an overnight success like most people thought

In this episode, Emily shares 3 simple solo activities you can do on your own to not only remove this fear and build your confidence, but to more importantly, have a better relationship with yourself (something you will need in order to have great relationships with others).

#168: Have you ever found yourself kind of "stuck" in what to do when it comes to decision making? Especially when it comes to dealing with people, you're not sure whether you should be more solution-oriented or empathetic. Hint: Emily struggles with this as well.

Recently, Emily had a mini breakthrough on understanding when it's wiser to be more rational and logical in her decisions, versus emotional and empathetic. This skill is important to have, as often times, we find ourselves in a little bit of trouble if we are being "too emotional" in our decisions and vice versa.

The truth is all related behind the concept of "mate value", which is often something we are subconsciously thinking about when it comes to romantic relationships, but it can also be applied in other areas of life.

Tune in to this episode to learn how you can optimize your mate value and your potential options in your dating and romantic life.
