Life can be challenging.

I get it!

Emily, Thank you for what you are doing. Every one of your interviews makes me reflect on my own past challenges. I appreciate the insight your guests share. Truly authentic!

I wanted to reach out and let you know that your podcast was a crucial source of motivation and support when my wife and I went through a very difficult time recently.

We have very little support, as we have no family or local friends. I worked twelve hour shifts, and my employer was the biggest issue we were facing. It was a brutal environment to be in during our situation.

I have no idea what would have happened if things continued, but I doubt it would have been anything good. Your podcast gave me the inspiration and drive to stand up and challenge my employer head on.

It was really brutal. But I made some serious impacts. Nobody will face the  things I did from them again. They not only implemented enterprise wide changes (200k+ employees,) but also used exactly the framework I submitted and recommended.

I really couldn’t have accomplished anything without hearing that there’s other people out there that are brave enough to stand up, as well as knowing that they all ultimately came out of it okay.

I could never thank you or your guests enough for the empowerment I received from their stories.

One thing that pulls my heart strings more than anything is a story about somebody going through hard times but pulling through and succeeding. The knowledge and wisdom gained from these experiences is hard earned and worth while to pay attention to. This podcast has all of that!

Every episode has touched me in some way. The bravery, openness, and vulnerability of both Emily and the people she has interviewed is inspiring. If everyone showed their authentic selves like these people, we would all be better off.
