#343: The power of who you surround yourself with consistently is invaluable. This may be your colleagues, friends, partner, family, the list goes on. While you can't always hand select some of these people, for the most part, you can choose who you allow consistently into your energy space and who subconsciously influences the way you think, act, and your fundamental values.

Why is this so important? Because it's possible that you're not heading in the right direction in life because you are around people (or maybe one person) that is limiting your decisions and life direction. And maybe, this is relevant to you and you just don't know it yet.

On the other hand, maybe you're looking for that nudge to find better friends and need a starting point on what to look for first. Either way, Emily shares her personal experiences with this and how all of this started at the age of 20, when she decided to make a big pivot in her long-term connections.

#342: Life is meant to be designed the way YOU want it, not what others want for you. Not for your parents, family, society's, etc. The problem? It's sometimes easier said than done.

There always seems to be some sort of "society standard" as to when we're supposed to be married, have children, move in with a partner, etc. And what often happens, is we see our friends starting to move in that direction and we feel that inevitable FOMO and we subconsciously make decisions based on what we're seeing externally, not what is aligned internally.

On this solo episode, Emily dives into the following topics:

• Importance of having your own independence before moving in with a partner
• Her prior experience at the age of 20 and living with a previous partner and lessons she's taken from it
• How valuable it is to have close friends or mutual friends as positive references or examples of what you want in life down the road

#339: One of our biggest shared fears, whether we admit it or not, is our fear of change. We fear the unknown because we don't know what to expect and certainty makes us feel safe.

Sometimes, it's the certainty that holds us back from expanding in life. Recently, Emily moved out of her first NYC apartment after nearly 4 years, but dealt with some internal fears and hesitations that she realized was truly all mental.

On this solo episode, she shares a raw conversation on her thought process in the move, how she knew it was fear, not intuition, and how you can push yourself out of your comfort zone, even with the present fear.
