  • 5 Self Help Books That Changed My Life

    Self help books have exploded over the past 10 years, and there are so many to pick from. How do you find one that works for you, without it just being another book that sits on a shelf collecting dust? First you have to pin-point what area of your life are looking to improve... your health, mental well-being, money mindset, or dating & relationships. It's important to remember too, that a self-help book can only take you so far. Once you finish reading it, it's up to you to integrate that new knowledge and apply it to your life.



    When I started my self-healing journey back in 2015 after leaving a toxic relationship, reading was one of things that helped me heal. I've always been a book nerd, but self-help books have become one of my all time favorites. I love hearing other people's stories & these are just a few of my faves.



    In this episode I share:



    * 5 self-help books that changed my life & blew my mind* The Four Agreements by Don Miguel Ruiz* Vibrate Higher Daily by Lalah Delia* It's All in Your Head by Russ* Beauty Detox Power by Kimberly Snyder* The Wild Woman's Way by Michaela Boehm

  • Setting Goals & Staying Committed

    Setting goals is a crucial part of life. It's what drives us to wake up in the morning, and make changes in our life for the better.

  • Why New Year’s Resolutions Are BS

    New Year's Resolutions sound nice, but a lot of people break them. With the start of a new year comes the feeling of a beginning, like we all have a fresh new start. When it comes to setting a resolution, most of us feel the pressure to change something we feel insecure about, like getting abs or loosing 10 pounds. Or we start off strong, and a month later we fall off track.



    Most people break their resolutions sooner than you think! Listen to hear how long the average person lasts.



    For years I swore to myself, "This is going to be the year I loose weight or give up sugar," but then I would break my resolution, have tons of guilt, & the year would go by & all the motivation I had back in January would be gone. Now I have a different approach to New Years & it's brought me so much happiness & growth.



    In this episode I share:



    • Why most people break their New Year's Resolutions
    • How long most people stay on track with their resolutions
    • The negative impact media puts on us to "get skinny" & "loose weight"
    • Why I stopped setting New Year's Resolutions
    • New Year Intentions > New Year Resolutions
    • How to avoid feeling guilty if you drop your new year intention/goal
    • Tips to stay on track with your intention/goal
    • My 1st Polar Plunge & why it was so powerful



    What are your intentions for the new year? Take screenshot of you listening to this episode & tag me on Instagram @emilysiero! I'd love to hear how you're up-leveling your life this new year.

  • Why Natural Skincare Matters with Yanique Teape

    Natural skincare is more important than you think. What you put ON your body is just as important as what you put IN your body. I used to struggle with hormonal acne & nothing used to work until I started using natural products.


    This week I had the pleasure of interviewing Yanique Teape, the founder of Humility, an organic skin-care & supplement line that's all about using wholesome ingredients from the earth.

    • The importance of understanding your roots
    • How running your own business requires support



    I hope this episode inspires you to make time for self-care. I love using the From The Earth face mask when I'm expecting a period pimple, and the supplements are as super clean, no BS added.
