Idioms! Remember idioms can be both literal and idiomatic, meaning you can't see it as something that people use to describe a situation or something that has happened in the past. Black sheep, an outcast, I have an example for you. I haven't seen my own goals since I was a child because he isn't in contact with my parents. He's the black sheep of the family. In other words, we don't talk to him much. He's the one that people don't speak with very often. Another example might be, hey, all the girls in that family except Mary grew up to become respected members of the community. She was the black sheep of the family. So black sheep obviously has a negative connotation. The expression probably originates from the fact that most sheep are white, and only the very different ones are black, black tie, formal dress, in which men wear black bow ties and dinner jackets or tuxedos and women wear formal, usually floor length dresses. Here's an example. The dinner was black tie, so all the men wore black bow ties and dinner jackets. Another example The film stars wedding was black tie, it was a glamorous affair that I'll never forget. So when we talk about the dinner was black tie, it means a very special event where we're going to dress up maybe with a tuxedo, and of course, the expression originates from the black bow tie that is part of a man's formal dress. Blow one's own horn, it means to most or brag to blow one's own horn. An example: Hey, Keith lets everyone know that the boss is going to make him the new assistant manager. He likes to blow his own horn. In other words, to brag or to tell everybody what's going to happen when he gets promoted. Another example, hey, Ruth won't make many friends if she keeps blowing her own horn about her accomplishments. There's an example where somebody likes telling everybody about all the good things they have done. Blowing one's horn has a little history to it. It dates back to at least the 16th century. This phrase is a reference to the practice of blowing horns to announce the arrival of important officials, such as kings to blow one's own horn to most or claim a position of superiority over others. Here's one where someone gets a little bit angry, blow one stack to become suddenly very angry. When Emily's father saw the damage she had done to the family car, he blew his stack. In other words, he got very angry. Another example: Hey, I hope the boss doesn't blow his stack. When he finds out. I didn't finish this work on time. You could compare this expression or this idiom blow one's stack to raise Cain. He raised Cain and he was so angry. He flew off the handle. He got his dander up, he blew off steam. All of those could be compared to blow one's stack. Here's another interesting idiom to run hot and cold to have mixed or inconsistent feelings about something. An example: Hey, I don't understand jack. One day he's really nice to me and the next day. He couldn't care less. He runs hot and cold. Pam runs hot in gold about studying nursing. Sometimes she says she would enjoy it and sometimes she says it would be too much work. Hey, I hope you enjoyed today's lesson American English grammar review with Billgreen54. Thanks for listening!

ONCE UPON A GENE - EPISODE 096 Finding Peace and New Energy to Dig Deeper After 18 Years Undiagnosed with Billie Short Billie Short is the mom of a 20 year old daughter that has an undiagnosed rare disease. She shares what it's like to be a caregiver with chronic stress.  EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS Share a bit about yourself and your daughter. I've been caring for my adult daughter Emily for 20 years. She was a typical baby when she was born and I had an easy birth. At about three months old, I noticed she wasn't meeting milestones and we started testing. We've continued testing and determined she has some sort of genetic anomaly and we don't know what it is. Emily is non-verbal and non-ambulatory and has a lot of the same symptoms of Rett Syndrome.  How do you embrace not having a diagnosis? I'm at peace right now. If Emily never got a diagnosis, I would be okay. She is physically healthy and she's outgrown a lot of issues and I'm grateful for that. Recently, I've become more curious to seek answers as testing has changed, but not having a diagnosis offers some comfort in ignorance because I'm present focused and not diagnosis focused.  How have you managed your stress as a caretaker? The first 18 years, I was bitter and angry. In the last 2 years, I've learned to find the calm in the chaos and the zen in the zoo. It's been a mind change because this is our life and it's a beautiful life. I embrace the chaos and roll with it. My husband has depression which was brought on in part when Emily was born. When Emily was 18, he was able to get the resources he needed and we were able to break through that. So many parents don't take time to take care of their own health because they're focused on their children and when something forces you to face it, you have to re-evaluate everything.  How do you feel healthier as a caregiver? I started out trying to lose weight I gained over the years and I learned a lot about self-care and caregiver burnout. I learned to focus on my physical and mental well-being so that I could continue caring for Emily in the future. I also shifted my thinking of caring for Emily as a gift, not a burden. Changing the way I thought about caring for Emily really changed things. I'm a caregiver of myself first and ensure I'm rested, eating well and getting help from my resources so that I can be a caregiver to my daughter with an open heart, not resentment. How did you implement better self-care? I started turning the tv off and going to bed earlier so I could get up earlier and journal. I have an accountability group, I plan meals and plan as much as I can with my superpower- pivot and adapt. I know my plans may get interrupted, but I will figure out how to block time out later for it so it still happens. Part of my self-care has also been listening to podcasts which is getting me connected and helps me feel like I have the bandwidth to support other moms.

As an economist and professor, Emily Oster is accustomed to using data to inform the decisions that she made in her own life. When Emily got pregnant with her daughter, Penelope, she was shocked by the lack of data provided by doctors to back up the common rules of pregnancy. Emily started to analyze the data behind many common pregnancy rules, and wrote a book, Expecting Better to improve decision-making for pregnant women. As her kids have grown up, her research has continued through 2 subsequent books, Crib Sheet, focusing on birth to preschool and Family Firm, which comes out today, focusing on the early school years. 

"I just remember thinking during the race, 'I'm running my race and I'm doing everything I can to give myself a shot at making this team.' And at the end of the day, if it's enough, it's enough."   The last time Emily Sisson was on the Ali on the Run Show, it was to break down her disappointing race at the 2020 U.S. Olympic Marathon Trials. Today, Emily returns to the show — and this time, we're celebrating! Last month, Emily raced — and won! — the 10,000m at the U.S. Olympic Track & Field Trials, earning herself a spot on Team USA for this summer's Olympic Games. On a hot day at Hayward Field in Eugene, OR, Emily took the lead five laps into the 25-lap race, and she held it the entire time, finishing in 31:03 and breaking a 17-year-old Trials record that was formerly held by Deena Kastor. On this episode, Emily talks about the win and shares every detail from race day. She talks about how hot it really was on the track that day, explains how she recovered physically and emotionally after last year's Marathon Trials, and shares how she feels about making her first Olympic team.   SPONSOR: goodr. Click here and use code ONTHERUN15 for 15% off your entire goodr order!   What you'll get on this episode: How Emily celebrated her 10K win (3:55) Reflecting back on the 2020 U.S. Olympic Marathon Trials (5:35) What Emily's training was like leading up to the Track & Field Trials (11:00) On arriving at Hayward Field (15:45) Emily's thoughts on the heat and the 40-woman field (22:30) What it's like being the one to watch (27:00) How Emily felt at the start of the race (33:55) What it was like lapping the field (40:40) On “running scared” (42:30) When Emily knew she had the win (45:30) What happened after the race (48:00) What Emily has learned from training partner Molly Huddle (51:30)   What we mention on this episode: Emily Sisson on Episode 234 of the Ali on the Run Show Emily Sisson on Episode 169 of the Ali on the Run Show Molly Huddle on Episode 391 of the Ali on the Run Show   Follow Emily: Instagram @em_sisson_ Twitter @em_sisson   Follow Ali: Instagram @aliontherun1 Join the Facebook group Twitter @aliontherun1 Support on Patreon Blog Strava   Listen & Subscribe: Apple Podcasts Spotify SoundCloud Overcast Stitcher Google Play   SUPPORT the Ali on the Run Show! If you're enjoying the show, please subscribe and leave a rating and review on Apple Podcasts.

Emily Reagan is a mom of four, Air Force wife, digital marketing consultant and founder of vacrashcourse.com. As a scrappy military wife who moves every two years, Emily has worked in various jobs related to public relations, marketing, sports media relations, journalism and video production. Finally her random skill set paid off as a freelancer digital media “VA” (virtual assistant). Now she helps creative entrepreneurs take their talents online, grow their social media presence and build their sales funnels. She quickly booked out and didn't like turning down clients, so she trained her smart military spouse and mom friends to learn digital media tech skills and take on clients as their own. She calls her Digital Media VA Crash Course graduates “unicorn VAs” because they have all the resourceful qualities, online insight and implementation skills that online business owners are looking to hire first... aka that total magical package. Here's what we covered on the episode: Emily's Background () How emily and I met over a year ago, before the pandemic at dinner through Sage Polaris at the TCC IRL event  The story of how Emily had her dream job, found out she was pregnant, moved again, became a stay at home mom, had a couple more kids, and moved a couple more times A friend of Emily's saw that a blogger needed help with a media kit and asked Emily if she would be interested; Emily said yes and explains that she googled what a media kit was because at that time social media was changing so much and she had been out of the workforce for a 4-5 years   Emily explains how doing this blogger's media kit opened one door after another and introduced her to Google Analytics  What's a Unicorn VA?  Why Emily doesn't like the term VA because to her, she was never just a virtual assistant, she had so many responsibilities and did so many tasks that had a direct impact on her clients and their business  What Emily teaches virtual assistants in her course is, get in, get your feet wet, learn the skills, figure out very quickly what you like, what you're good at, what you don't like and immediately start promoting yourself Promote yourself as a VA by taking on projects because so many businesses will hire in-house or hire overseas   When Emily talks about unicorn VAs, she's talking about that first person you hire when you need help with everything, someone who can help with the administrative tasks, but can also help with the tasks that bog you down weekly When deciding what you should or shouldn't take on as a VA, Emily says know what your zone of genius is and start handing off the things you aren't good at Emily shares that when you have a skill that's marketable, you just need to learn the online way of doing that business and shares a real example of someone in her course  When Emily first started, she kept her head down, said yes to the projects, had no vision but ended up booking out so quickly that she realized she needed to teach her other mom friends what she was doing because there was such a high demand for implementers  How training 8 women to take on and subcontract client work validated for Emily that she could teach people and realized she needed to scale it  How Emily's Business has Changed  The story of how Emily helped a client with a million dollar launch, where she stayed up until 1am rebuilding the client's tech library and realized she didn't want to be doing that anymore  Emily started to scale her course and put herself out there  How quiz funnels were a great way for Emily to keep her hand in the pot, but get out of hourly rates  When Emily pitched her first press kit, she charged $300 and shares she had some experience but didn't really know how to design, so ended up hiring it out  Emily started doing Pinterest for $10/hr and says she loved it because it was stress free  Now, Emily charges $100/hr and her day rates are $1,000 a day  Don't Wait Until It's Too Late If you are in need of a VA, you can go to hire a unicorn.com and fill out a form that they'll post in their student Facebook group Emily's advice is to not wait until it's too late to hire someone to help you; she also says don't get stuck on 1 tech skill you need because someone will be able to learn it  Even if a job listing has job requirements you don't meet, like needing 5 year of experience, Emily says put your name in the hat anyways  Why Emily tells all her students who are new to talk to their friends because they probably know a business owner who you can get work from  Emily tells us about the 4 women on her team and explains each of their roles, and shares that she does her own social media  Connect with Emily on Instagram or listen to her Podcast, Unicorns Unite or fill out a form at hire a unicorn.com if you are in need of a VA    Links mentioned:   Emily's VA Crash Course   Hire a Unicorn    Connect with Emily on Instagram    Listen to Emily's Podcast - Unicorns Unite    Like what you heard?  Click here to subscribe + leave a review on iTunes.

Cycling intervals, homework assignments, planner items: Emily Schaldach raced through her life checking off her list. When Emily's grandmother invited her to a silent meditation retreat in the woods of Colorado, she reluctantly accepted. Compelled to sit still for a few days, Emily saw herself in a way she hadn't yet envisioned.

For Emily Griffith, this has been a journey of triumphs and challenges. Like many entrepreneurs, she started without startup experience or capital and had to figure out how to survive along the way.The idea behind Lil Bucks was born in Australia a few years ago. Emily was working at an advertising agency in Sydney when she got introduced to buckwheat as a healthy alternative to sweet snacks like granola. She fell in love with it immediately.When Emily came back to the United States, she noticed that there weren't any brands selling buckwheat as a snack in the Midwest. Upon further research, she discovered that the country was missing food that could meet consumers' functional needs while tasting better than existing alternatives. On top of that, she learned that while 75% of Americans were eating healthy snacks, they didn't want to sacrifice taste or texture over nutrition.She felt there was a gap in the market and that her idea was the best option to fill it. In 2018, Lil Bucks was officially born as a breath of fresh air in a world where many people forget that they're creating solutions for people and not just more products to make a profit.Join us in this episode to learn how Lil Bucks has managed to quadruple their revenue from 2019 to 2020 while providing healthier grain options in the US and supporting sustainable farming.Key points discussed- What does Profit to the People mean to Emily?

Today’s Episode with Emily O’Connor:Emily stepped away from working in schools to build a full time tutoring practice and created multiple revenue streams by creating educational cards that are sold online.As a dyslexic herself, Emily says her favorite thing is tutoring elementary and middle school kids with dyslexia.Emily’s practice is currently all online, she mostly tutors kids in math, has a high retention rate and is fully booked.When Emily graduated from her masters program, she really saw herself in the classroom, but the country was in the middle of a recession and teaching jobs were hard to come by. After working for a literacy initiative at the Boys and Girls Club, Emily got a job at a school but eventually after a few years of poor administration and degrading work conditions she was burned out and decided to go off on her own so she could provide more personalized education for kids (especially those with dyslexia).Before going completely on her own, Emily worked for a colleague on her private practice and this was her window into starting her own business.Over the years, Emily has gotten many different offers from various schools and contractors. Educators are asked to do things they don’t want to do every day and Emily really values working for herself and says  “My freedom doesn’t have a price tag”.Emily talks about some of the times she fell on her face before getting to the point where she is now where she is able to only do things she really want to do.“I can change any situation at any time for any reason” is something that Emily tries to live by. She constantly evaluates her life and work and is able to adapt. Emily does not keep her rates super high but she makes it very clear to clients that she changes for her time and charges for consults. She keeps her standards high and works with families who are on the same page.You can find Emily on her website www.advantagemathclinic.com!Enjoy the show?

She's a rare breed of unicorn, and he's in the business of misery. When Emily and Jake meet-cute at a recovery group for nose fetishists, sparks fly. But while they're engaging in pankkake and deciding whether GIFs are the ultimate love language, a sadistic ventriloquist and its doppelgänger capture them and make them sing the entire Moulin Rouge soundtrack together while replacing every instance of the word "love" with "Doug." Can their relationship survive such frisky ear violence, or will they have to update their OK Cupid profiles? Spend your VD with Going Romantically, starring Emily Jean Durchholz and Jakob Bilinski. Episode out now! Other discussion topics may include: - Years of Oxen and Cocksen - An opportunity to not win a brand new German dishwasher! - How much have all of us been missing each other's noses? - Renée Santz, professional belch artist - Wife swapping, credit card swiping, and A Clockwork Orange-style threats...you know, real romantic stuff

You have to be the one to make the decision. No one else can tell you that you’ve got to do something. You have to want it. You have to be in the right mindset to tackle that goal. Emily Zupanic did just that. Emily decided that enough was enough and she set out to change her career and her wellness. Emily is a 31-year old that grew up in Pennsylvania. When Emily relocated to Ohio, she found herself miserable in a job she hated. What do you do when you hate your job and you are like Emily (and me- I do this too!), you eat your feelings. You find yourself spiraling into a negative vortex. Emily left that job. She landed herself a new career that filled her job and brought her joy. She decided that the nightly alcohol and binge eating was no longer necessary. She found her spark. She found her why. Emily took the next couple of years to deeply learn about herself and how to take her wellness back. She learned it’s not just about movement or food, but a variety of elements. Emily shares her journey of losing weight, kicking food guilt to the curb, and becoming her best self. The advice Emily leaves you with is invaluable. 1. Small Goals Lead to Big Results. 2. Focus on One Day at a Time. 3. Dedication is Greater than Motivation. 4. You have to be the One to Make the Decision. 5. You have to be Ready! 6. You must fill your cup before you can fill anyone else's. Follow Emily’s health journey and story on Instagram @emilygotgoalz

This episode features our frequent and very popular guest Elyse Rivin. If you enjoy her episodes, please consider supporting her on Patreon. Everybody is talking about Emily in Paris. Elyse and I watched it together and we took some notes on our reactions. I must confess that we only watched two episodes, and we already have a lot to say! This is our perspective from a French perspective. While Elyse isn't technically French, she's lived in France so long she's forgetting her English ;-)  Click play, let’s see if you agree with us! Why Is Emily in Paris Getting So Much Attention? Big name newspapers and magazines are all talking about this show which is surprising because it is very new. It probably has to do with the fact that we can't travel right now and going to Paris on TV is better than not going at all. The fact that this show has become controversial is also playing in its favor. People have to see this show that everyone is talking about. Emily in Paris is definitely not a documentary. It is more like one stereotype after another and we point them out in our conversation. Emily in Paris Is Chock-Full of Stereotypes Stereotypes are helpful in fiction because they allow the writer to make points quickly. Nothing much happens in the show, but boy do they spout stereotypes! French men prefer older women. This may be a reference to President Macron, but it's a new stereotype about French people. It's nice that they use French songs in the show but these are not songs that we recognize. When she walks into her new apartment the concierge gives her the evil eye because she doesn't say "bonjour". She says "hi" which shows she assumes everyone knows English. You have to start off by making an effort to speak some French. You should not walk into a business situation in France with zero French and zero understanding of why that's not acceptable. The 5th floor / 4th floor thing comes up several times. Ground level is "rez-de-chaussé" in France, that's 0. We start counting one above ground level whereas Americans say ground level is 1. The Realtor who shows her to her "Chambre de Bonne" that looks nothing like a "Chambre de Bonne" hits on her saying it doesn't matter that she has a boyfriend in America, she needs one in France. The stereotype of French men all being overtly interested in sex. They are typically more subtle than that. Emily shows up at the office on her first day with a shirt that has an Eiffel Tower print on it. She's too flashy. Annie doesn't think the lady at the boulangerie would ever correct someone for using the wrong article, but Elyse says it's happened to her. Sylvie, the boss tells her not to bother to learn French because she'd be terrible at it. On her first day at the job French people explain to Emily how all Americans are fat while they smoke in the office. The fat/smoker thing is established early on in the show and comes back several times. There are many French people who believe that when you stop smoking you gain 5 kilograms. But even with that, French people are quitting smoking fast. Both Annie and Elyse know people who used to smoke and have quit and none who are still smoking. It's only a minority of French people who smoke today, this stereotype is dated. Sylvie says "Without pleasure what are we? Germans?" This is definitely something French people might say and something that would make us laugh. Luke asks Emily why she is shouting. It is true that in France kids are raised to keep their voice down generally and that Americans would do well to be more discreet in France. The whole city is like Ratatouille! Really? That's what she knows about France? Ratatouille and Saving Private Ryan? This is the idiot American stereotype. Everyone gets stereotyped in Emily in Paris! It is true that hall lights are all on short timers in France and that's annoying. But electricity is expensive in France! Now we have phones with flashlights so it's not such a big deal, but growing up in France Annie always looked to see where the light switch were. French people are lazy and don't go to work until 10:30 in the morning. That stereotype is  false. Taking a 3 hour lunch isn't OK either any more for most people. This is an old trope about French civil servants doing nothing all day and it's not been correct for a long time. Nobody wants to have lunch with her on her first day. That's possible. There are snobby work environments in France. Not most places thankfully, but it happens. She goes to eat lunch alone on the benches of the Palais Royal and that's where she meets Mindy. Do French women as scantily as Mindy? French people hate the idea that women should dress conservatively because men can't control themselves. But in reality most French women dress conservatively at work. Mindy says "Some places people gossip behind your back, but French people are mean to your face!" French people are very blunt. Annie has an American friend who says "If you want to know the truth, ask a child or a French person!" French people who wok in social media wouldn't be so afraid of English that they run off. That stereotype is very overdone in the show. The term "plouc" is something kids call one-another. It means hick or farm boy. It doesn't fit Emily at all. And if Emily doesn't speak French she would have no idea how to spell it. French people would have chosen a much more refined insult because our language is full of them. Luc says "Americans live to work and French people work to live". This is actually true. French people value quality of life over money. Emily is early to work on her second day. A co-worker tells her not to show up early. That is true. In France you're supposed to be competent and professional but not come across as too eager. Emily steps on dog poop coming out of her posh apartment. This stereotype is old and it would not be the case today, Paris (and all of France) has come a long way in teaching people to pickup after their dogs. Sylvie explains to Emily that she shouldn't be an open book. It's better to be mysterious, sophisticated and hard to get. That stereotype is actually true. Antoine Lambert the "nose" comes across as sleaze ball. Dominant males in France can come across like that. I'm better than you, I dress better, I talk better. The concept of dominant male in France is nothing like what you're used to in America. There's a suggestion that French women sleep with their bosses and clients and American women don't. We highly doubt that. But French and Italian women are more likely to talk about it. It is common for French women who know their husbands are cheating on them not to get a divorce. They don't see why they should have to give up their standard of living and comfortable life because he cheated. French people don't care as much about politician's private life and shenanigans, but that's changing with social media. Emily's steak is too rare and she tries to send it back and the cook comes out to explain to her that she's wrong. That's actually happened to Elyse. French people have strong opinions about what you eat, when you eat, how you eat it, etc. That's one of the reasons why we've kept our food traditions strong. But it's annoying. Emily in Paris gets that one right. It is also very French to do what you want and go against the grain. You can get along just fine as a woman in France without makeup or jewelry, but you have to be ready to own it. When Emily takes a selfie with the bakery lady, there's a sign that goes up for a second that says "Bonjour goes a long way", so clearly somebody on that show knows what they're talking about. French actors and actresses on the series are beautiful but not perfect, they look like real people. Why is "le vagin" a masculine word? Carla Bruni texts Brigitte Macron to tell her about this product and it take off. That's not realistic but it was funny. And French nominal genders make no sense. Emily in Paris is unrealistic and entertaining at the same time. TV being unrealistic and full of stereotypes is not new. This show is escapist, pleasant, and the production quality is high. It will probably introduce a whole new generation of young people to Paris and we love that. We really hate that it'll instill the same old stereotypes in all these new people. We'd love more subtle dialog. @JohnAugust to the rescue? B.J.

Episode #002: Sam + Emily Sharpe They have been described as complementarity at its finest!!! Both Sam and Emily wrestled with difficult questions within their lives but at very different points. After leaving behind a life of sin, and then a life as a religious brother, Sam pursued Emily with everything that he had. When Emily was asking, Lord, am I going to stay with you? Sam came in to bring her Him and His joy. Show notes: - Master's degree in common sense. Email Sam directly: samsharpekc@gmail.com. - Sam and Emily met at Franciscan University : https://franciscan.edu/

The opening scene shows us a Victorian home and zooms ever so gradually in on a wood carved antique front door. There is a truly insidious sound effect, sinister in its low bass rumble. We enter the house in a series of stills as the rumbling continues. Awesome impact.  This is an effective way to create atmosphere in a horror movie. Also an effective part of the intro is the typeset or overlay of the credits. I’m seeing this a lot in the last decade. On a macro level, most people have seen Tarantino’s movie set in California Western times. It has those sort of overlays. It creates verisimilitude in this film and I was taken back to the days when things were simpler and scares were possible from atmosphere without jump scares. Has anyone else out there relished the spooky feelings they’ve had over a horror movie?I hope that’s what you come here to Riley on Film for because I am forsaking all others for a good long while. Atmospheric Horror is the name of my horror reviewing game! This film is knee deep in that category. In this review I plan to take you through the parts that create the most atmosphere. I hope you enjoy. We see our presumed heroine in the kitchen first cooking. Her looks are pleasant. She’s wearing a white ruffly dress that doesn’t reveal much. She turn her head though and seems quite attractive as a brunette, farm beauty type of woman. The actress’ name is Anna Ishida. She has very little listed in IMDB. It appears she is all by herself wandering aimlessly around. I don’t mean this is a sexist way but it would be nice if all she is going to do is walk around that we might see her figure. Movies are appealing to the visual right? Just saying, sorry if that offends anyone. Nonetheless, I am convinced she is quite beautiful in my imagination as well as onscreen. Dressing up in the mirror sort of shows she has large breasts. LOL. Sorry again. This part is a bit dull. I’m not sure what the point of this drawn out scene is. Would be a first for me though. People like my wife and otters get pots way before me, probably because I have a low patience threshold. The kitchen table is highly visual and pleasing. It has that country kitchen look to it and it adds to the suspension of disbelief that this was made in 2012 and not 1812.  A voice begins to speak to her, Emily. She talks to Emily like a parent or doctor. She even sings Emily a bedtime song before asking her to repeat the phrase “I am a Ghost” over and over. At this point the voice is attempting to remind Emily she is a ghost. The voice is a medium hired by the owners of the house to rid the ghost (Emily) from the house. It’s a bit of a “Groundhog Day” scenario. When Emily leaves the room she loses all memory of what the medium is trying to do with her. It repeats. I find it highly clever what the director is doing here. H.P. Mendoza has given us a ghost film from the perspective of the ghost. Instead of waiting to be suddenly spooked, the story gives us an extended creepy feeling without the need for jumps or gore. While it wasn’t exactly the mood I was hoping for, meaning it was too timid, in a mild way it created atmospheric horror.It was thick with it though. I think this director is quite good for that. My conclusion is this film is a 5/10 Boring but it will score higher for fans of this actress and director. I Was immediately interested in the lead but I didn’t get to see her figure much. It was powerful when she repeated “I am a ghost.” Wish I could recommend it more highly. It does deliver a certain degree of atmospheric horror but loses the mystique as it progresses.

When Emily makes a - some might say - rather strange request to her dad, the sky’s the limit. Actually, even the sky's not the limit, thanks to Emily's lucky, and very magical, nickel…

Emily Yinger is my person. She has been my best friend for... shit... has it been 12 years already? Dayummm. I met Emily in 2008, the year my best friend Lindsey died. When Emily met me, I was in the throws of grief. I never imagined I would have another best friend because it felt like Lindsey was irreplaceable. Turns out, Lindsey IS irreplaceable. But that didn't stop me from opening up my heart to allow myself to have another best friend. Emily & I have been through a LOT together. Like so much, I could write a book about just that. But I digress... Last night, We flip-flopped between having a phone call or recording a podcast, but either way, I knew my Bestie needed to talk about her grief. So we recorded our convo anyway, and I decided, I'm just going to publish it as is, No Editing, because we like to keep shit real...as real as can be. Emily's younger brother, Joseph, died by suicide when he was 26. Today, August 23rd, the day I publish this episode, would have been his 30th birthday. Drop some eaves on our best friend talk, complete with sarcasm, profanity, tenderness, substances, stupidly funny jokes, annoying cackling (from myself), and an abrupt ending because Anchor cut us off. Our talk is a long one (so you can listen to it in spurts if you choose) about grieving in partnership, and during a pandemic, as well as our current perspectives on suicide, and the unfair pressures that are placed upon the bereaved. But we also throw in a little Portlandia reference. Earlier in the day, our phone call birthed a now-ongoing sarcastic joke about how much we love our lives, how blessed we feel to be where we're at, and happy we are...because the truth is, we feel the furthest from that and it frustrates the shit out of us to hear others say that, only because we're super envious. Anyways, I won't give away everything... Listen in, but beware, there's some extra noises, like dog panting and possibly even a fart. We're pretty damn ridiculous, and at some point, I think we both forget we're recording a podcast. Oh well. YOU'RE WELCOME, WORLD.

While the podcast showcases the specific steps and tactics people used to start over in new careers, my goal is to actually demonstrate the mindset that you need to take the leap.  Because without the mindset, all of the tactics in the world won’t help you start over. If you get stuck in the fear and the doubt, you’ll be stuck forever.  Through my own journey and talking with over 90 quitters, I’ve come to realize that the most important mindset shift is in truly understanding that you CAN figure anything out. Once you become comfortable with the unknown, not because you’re certain, but because you’re confident in your ability to figure it out, you become unstoppable.  No one embodies that mentality more than my guest this week, Emily Sexton.  Emily started out on Wall Street as Vice President of Communications and Change Management. Feeling like something was missing, she quit without knowing her next move. When Emily discovered the opportunity to open up a pop-up retail truck that would combine her love of fashion with her desire to support female vendors from developing countries, a cause she was passionate about, she jumped on it.  With no retail experience, Emily leaned on her community to make the pop-up shop a success. A year later, she turned the Flourish Market into a brick-and-mortar shop. And when she was presented with the opportunity to move to a bigger space, she seized that too. But the space was actually too big for just a retail shop. Emily had to figure out what to do with all the extra space. So in the Summer of 2019, she launched The Locality, a co-working space + incubator for 60 female entrepreneurs, with membership spots selling out before construction even started! And now with the Covid pandemic, when so many businesses are struggling, Emily took only a couple of days to pivot her co-working space into an online membership. She is such a testament to the fact that opportunities are all around us, if we’re willing to see them. Her outlook and attitude are infectious. And she provides the hope and clarity we need in this time!

When Emily was about a year old, she had a surgery that left her with a permanent physical impairment. In this episode of Discovering Our Scars, Steph and Beth have an honest conversation with Steph’s longtime friend Emily about what it’s like to have a disability everyone can see. What do people say? What do people avoid saying? It will make you wonder—what’s the first thing people notice about you? Emily talks about online dating, the importance of a positive attitude, and how it felt when someone called her goblin. This conversation also reveals the one place where society prefers the word “handicap” over the word “disability.”Full transcript and show notes here: https://dospod.us/e22

134 | Emily Williams Turns a $442 sale to a 7 Figure Business Do you ever feel stuck and bored in your life?

But did you know that NO is just part of the deal in business? If you use it right, you can learn EVERYTHING you need to know from a NO. Let me show you 3 ways that you can turn a NO into YES without being pushy, sleazy, or desperate. Click here and download your FREE guide “3 Ways To Turn a NO Into a YES” right HERE! Here are a few key secrets we talked about in this episode: Michelle introduces Emily Williams. Emily’s first sale brought her $442 - and she was on the call while on a park bench in California. She had two calls: one client said NO and one said YES. Emily received 54 NO’s in a row! How could she overcome that? Her coach encouraged her to cut her coaching prices in half, and focus exclusively on selling them. Her goal was to sell 10 spots. Not only did she sell 10 spots, but she sold more! That brought her $20,000, and was the first step on her upward trajectory. One of the huge factors that changed Emily’s sales calls was going deeper than NO. It was understanding why people said NO rather than just accepting that first NO. When Emily went deeper on the calls, she found that it was fear that made her potential clients say NO. When she was able to help people find solutions to those fears, she began to hear more YES’s. You have to be curious to be able to overcome those NO’s. Curiosity helps uncover hidden potential. People don’t want a paid friend, they want someone who is going to see them for what they have to offer. When people say they don’t have money, that’s B.S. People find money for what they truly want, whether it be from outside funding or from borrowing money. It can be found! “If you want to get to seven figures, you have to be willing to talk to people about money.” ~ Emily Williams Emily shares the story of her greatest NO when six people dropped out of her high-level mastermind. During the time of bouncing back, Emily leaned on her coaches and mentors. Emily shares how those NO’s were some of the best things that has happened to her.  Hearing NO’s made Emily go through the learning curve fast: she had to get good at learning the financials in her business and build a strong foundation. You have to learn to take the emotions out of business and recognize that NO isn’t always about you!  Create an atmosphere where your clients can communicate with you, especially before things go wrong.

Notes: We're not doctors. Lori said 6000mg of vitamin d, but it turns out she meant 200mg. Please consult a doctor before taking any medicine or vitamins, or at least follow the label. When Emily said silk underwear, she didn't mean like, sexy underwear. More like long johns. Her family isn't like that. This podcast is powered by Pinecast.

In this episode, our new host, Hirewell partner James Hornick, talks with former teacher and now Hirewell recruiter Emily Goor from our Managed Recruiting Practice about how she got into recruiting. When Emily decided that teaching was not going to be her long-term focus, she looked at her strengths and knew that she needed to be working with people. That’s a big part of what makes for a good recruiter, but there’s a lot more to it as well, and while James and Emily discuss this on the podcast, we’re going to discuss this topic all month on the blog. First, though, James and Emily admit what every recruiter, everywhere will tell you: no one ever intends to get into recruiting. But that’s okay. We know people get interested in recruiting because they are interested in people and want to change lives. Now, what makes for a good recruiter beyond wanting to work with people? James and Emily discuss that as well, along with Emily’s expectations when she started the job and what she knows one year into her work with Hirewell. What she didn’t realize is how many hats she’d be wearing or that she would need to be a career counselor, confidant and therapist.  James and Emily focus on all of this, as well as James’s favorite topic: ghosting.  This is a great conversation, and I’m excited to share it with you.        Related Blog Posts Searching for a New Job?

In today’s episode, Anne talks with Emily Carter about a genre they both used to think they were too smart to be reading. When Emily entered a season when she was busy and stressed, and she discovered that the genre she’d once categorically dismissed was full of books that were exactly what her lackluster reading life needed.Fellow repentant "book snobs" will relate to this conversation about what we miss out on as readers when we seal ourselves off from whole sections of the bookstore, how our misperceptions can be corrected with the help of our fellow readers, and how we can take smart chances on books outside our readerly comfort zones.

Episode 16: Depression & Prevention of SuicideEmily Gard, LICSW, joins us to talk about depression and suicide. Emily is a Licensed Individual Clinical Social Worker and nationally certified mental health first aid trainer with over ten years of experience in the field of social work. Emily earned her undergraduate degree from Concordia College and a master’s degree in Social Work from the University of North Dakota. She initially worked as a chemical dependency social worker before pursuing graduate education. Currently Emily is employed by Sanford Health as an Integrated Health Therapist. She was named Sanford Health Employee of the Year in 2017. When Emily is not working, she enjoys spending time at the lake with her husband and five children.Depression - feeling down, depressed, hopeless, helpless. May come out of nowhere or be triggered by stressors. Symptoms include tearfulness, loss of interest, appetite and sleep changes, irritability, stomach aches, headaches. Symptoms can be physical - fatigue, diarrhea, upset stomach. Isolation, irritability, frustration, and slowed thinking can be seen in the older population. Sadness and bereavement generally do not last for more than a few months. Depression tends to be persistent and pervasive.Suicide is a side effect of depression. Warning signs include thoughts of being better off dead or not wanting to wake up. Talking to people who are depressed about suicide does not make them more likely to commit suicide. Many people experience ambivalence about suicide and want to be asked about how they are doing.Warning signs of suicide:- talking about death- statements like “people would be better off without me”- feeling like they’re a burden- feeling isolated- feeling disconnected- preparatory behaviors - giving away things, purchasing firearms, making sure will and/or insurance are in orderThe next step for friends/family/clinicians:- Ask how the affected person is doing- Make observations to the person- Using the word “suicide” is okPeople with depression need support just like people struggling with physical illness.Local support groupsNational Suicide Prevention Lifeline American Foundation for Suicide Prevention Columbia suicide severity rating scale - helps assess risk Protective factors- Valued relationships (pets, children, parents, close friends)- Futuristic thinking- EmploymentAs a friend, you can highlight protective factors and help them focus on these things. Do this without creating guilt by asking “what’s one thing that you’re living for?”Terminology - language is changing. In the past we would say “committed suicide” but just as people die of cancer, they die of/by suicide. This is more accurate and helps decrease stigma.The Columbia scale helps identify level of concern when someone is alluding to suicide. Preparatory behavior, plan for suicide, and suicidal intent predict suicide attempts.People can recover! Every emotion is temporary. Recovery is possible. If someone has had suicidal thoughts in their life, they don’t typically experience them again. People generally get better and are able to experience joy and quality of life again. People should know that they aren’t alone. Depression and anxiety are common and treatable.Treatment of depression:Non-medical includes therapy, behavioral activation: exercise, healthy eating, connecting with others.Medications include SSRI’s, SNRI’s, other antidepressants, sometimes antipsychotics- These increase hormones in our brain that create positive feelings and emotion.- Sometimes they have to be tried to find the right one. It can take a 4-6 weeks for these to reach their full effect.- Medications don’t necessarily have to be life-long.- Side effects: feeling emotionally “flat,” fatigue, nausea, weight changes, appetite changes, sexual side effects.- Avoid heavy alcohol consumption while taking antidepressants.Inpatient stays and partial hospitalization (PHP) can help individuals with suicidal intent. They help stabilize and facilitate mediation adjustments in addition to learning coping skills.Exercise can be equivalent to taking a medication to help elevate mood. This shouldn’t be done in isolation but can be a helpful part of a treatment program. Being outside, being mindful of different sensations can elevate mood as well.Cognitive behavioral therapy is a frontline approach for depression. Thoughts and behaviors are interconnected. Mindfulness, or the intention to pay attention, can be helpful in managing depression. Deep breathing can help regulate emotions.Headspace, Calm, and Breathe are good apps. Or search “Guided meditation” on Youtube.Health pearl of the week: Unplug! Technology can be enriching and helpful, but can also intrude into our lives. Think about having an hour of “unplugged” time per day (or even a day per week!).Follow us on Facebook and Twitter

When Emily Dawson inherits a plantation in Barbados from her grandfather, Jonathan Fenty, in 1854, she is not quite sure what to make of the bequest. Emily, an English vicar’s daughter, has long been the “poor relation” of her merchant family, but the bigger surprise is that her grandfather never once mentioned the existence of this property, Peverills. In the company of her cousins Adam and Laura, Emily embarks on a sailing vessel for the West Indies. In Bridgeport, further shocks await. Their contact, Mr. Turner—reputed to be the wealthiest man in Barbados—is of African descent; and neither he nor anyone else in his family seems to think much of the English visitors. When Emily expresses the desire to see Peverills for herself, the Turners explicitly warn her away. Emily persists, only to find the estate in ruins and the family next door eager to take her in. But Emily soon begins to wonder about the neighbors’ motives, as well as the history of the plantation. How many other secrets did her grandfather conceal? In The Summer Country (William Morrow, 2019), Lauren Willig nimbly balances Emily’s story against her grandfather’s, interweaving the stories of three families across two timelines into a seamless whole. Better yet, she does it against the backdrop of a Barbados so beautifully realized that you will feel that you can smell the sugar cane burning and hear the singing carried on the wind. C. P. Lesley is the author of nine novels, including Legends of the Five Directions (The Golden Lynx, The Winged Horse, The Swan Princess, The Vermilion Bird, and The Shattered Drum), a historical fiction series set during the childhood of Ivan the Terrible, and Song of the Siren, published in 2019.

When Emily died, Mark's old life ended, and a new one began. In the final episode of Death, Mark explores the concepts of closure, forgiveness, and ultimately hope.--In 2011, journalist Mark Longley's daughter Emily was murdered when she was 17 years old. This three-part series tells the story of Emily's life, and her death. It examines death and its impact on us - how we mourn, how we cope, how we treat the grieving. We've interviewed people who have lost parents and partners, grandparents and children, and talked to friends, colleagues and academics to figure out why grief is so hard to process, why are we so awkward around those who are in pain, and what can we do to help people through it.Death is a podcast about love, grief and hope.

Ever since she was little, Emily daydreamed about meeting her donor dad. He was a prince living in a far away land, a celebrity who had sent her a necklace, and possibly even George Bush. (The latter being more of a nightmare than a daydream.) When Emily was thirteen, she found other kids who had family structures like hers. They also wondered and dreamed about the day when they might be able to meet the sperm donor who helped their moms have a child. But what really united this group of young people was being together in Provincetown, Mass. for Family Week -- the largest annual gathering of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer-identified families in the world. This is the second chapter of a big story that takes up most of Rashomon Season 2. You will hear multiple families telling every side of multiple stories, all having to do with the early days of sperm banks and how it effected the lives of the families that used them. From Season 2, Episode 2 onward, it is important to listen to them in order to get the full story -- so go and listen to Sharon and Sammy first.

Emily Hodge joins me this week to discuss the shame she felt around running Facebook Ads prior to her last launch, and how she found great success when she finally started! I’m really excited to be talking about this, because most often, the problems I hear people having with Facebook ads, are around the money side of things: “Am I going to lose money running ads?” or “Will my return on investment be worth it?”. This conversation goes more into answering questions such as “Will I annoy people?” and “Am I really that good if I need to use ads to promote myself?”. When Emily brought this topic up to me, I realized she was onto something that other people might be struggling with, so we got together and created this episode of Ads That Convert, just for you.   What You'll Discover: The antidote to hustle, and Emily’s past ad experience. The challenge, the launch and the mental struggle surrounding ads. How she came to realise there's nothing shameful about promoting yourself. The amazing results Emily had after making this mindset switch   Soundbites from this Episode: “Why does life have to be about hustle and running around like a headless chicken” “There was a long old mental state of change to go through before I got to where I was with the launch” “The way I was feeling about ads was almost that it was a badge of honour not to use them.” “It’s okay to promote yourself. People need to promote themselves” “I think word of mouth is hugely important” “I absolutely understand what I’m looking for now”   Emily’s Instagram! @gentle_life_mindful_business   To connect with me and share your thoughts on the podcast: Leave a note in the comment section below.

Episode 14 of You've Got Love sees Arthur and Keisha dive into the 2017 rom-com The Big Sick. This Academy Award nominated movie is inspired by the true story of Kumail Nanjiani and Emily V. Gordon. When Emily falls ill and is placed into a coma, Kumail must come to terms with cultural and familial expectations to be with the woman he loves. We really enjoy this one, and were excited to look at the hard work involved in relationships when illness is on the table. 

Emily Duggan’s story is a perfect example of why it’s important to share the stories of women in sport. When Emily was a little girl, she was watching TV one weekend and came across the Supercar motor racing series here in Australia and was instantly hooked. However Emily, in that moment, also realised there were no women racing and thought it was a “boy’s sport” and put it to the back of her mind (as the saying goes, “you can’t be what you can’t see”). Thankfully the voice that whispered to Emily that day never disappeared and as soon as she started working, she began saving for her first racing car - and hasn’t looked back since. In 2016, Emily became the 1st female driver to race in the V8 Touring Car Series here in Australia and now in 2019 is racing in the Super3 series (which is the 3rd tier in the Supercar series here). And sometime soon, I know we’ll see Emily line up on the start of the iconic Bathurst 1000 race (a race I’ve promised to watch, for the first time ever, when she does!). Emily shares her story with me on Sparta Chicks Radio this week.

In today’s episode you will hear the difference between the companies who are winning big and the ones who struggle keep their doors open. You’ll also understand how you can go from being a halfass in the marketplace to dominating and crushing it. Here are some of the awesome things you will hear in this episode: Find out what a Tennis pro (ranked 50 in the world) did to turn an injury to victory and how you can use the same principle to grow your business. Find out what the companies who are winning do differently than the ones who struggle. And see the secret to removing overwhelm and burnout in your business and personal life. So listen here to find out how Satori successfully coaches the best to achieve their most important targets and how you can do the same. ---Transcript--- The reason they're winning big is because they’re narrowing their focus while everyone else is going wide. ...AND they lacking precision. So the guys that are dominating and crushing it have a sniper approach that is very, targeted. ...And everyone else, who’s losing battles and getting killed, is because they’re setting fantasy goals without a clear and efficient strategy to execute in an overcrowded market. So that’s why their growth and marketing isn’t working as well anymore. So what we gotta do, is help them narrow their focus and remove distractions in a world that is constantly trying to sell them the next sexy thing, or some new marketing fad, right? There are new ideas everywhere… There are no lack of ideas. Are you following?  Here is what I mean by that... If you think about our clients, they come to us for a couple of reasons… Number one... They’re doing great, but they want to elevate their performance. They want a higher level of achievement. They want to do better. I love that. that’s great. Unfortunately, is not always easy. So a lot of times they’ve been doing great for a long time, they’ve been very profitable but they’ve plateaued, they’ve spend a ton of money on marketing and development, but they’ve lost momentum. AND the reason things stop working is what I said a minute ago, they’re going too wide and they lack precision. Because of that, they have a million plates spinning at all times and nothing gets the necessary focus, or attention and therefore, momentum, decelerates, slows down, or stops. Imagine your marketplace like a battlefield and you want to win the war, right? (I know, it may be grim metaphor but just follow for a second. You don’t want to have a million battles to fight, you want to your best effort, your best resources on the fewest amount of battles possible to win the war. The more battles the less chance of winning the war. Otherwise, you just end up overwhelmed, overworked, frustrated and exhausted. You with me? The companies who are winning right now, are the ones who are narrowing their focus and know how to put their best effort, best focus, best energy and resources on the most leveraged, most profitable targets. They are not fighting a million battles, they’re picking the fewest battles possible they know they can dominate to win the war. Makes sense? So if we’re looking at it from the perspective of dominating your market and achieve maximum growth, maximum profitability and maximum impact that’s sustainable, what do we gotta do? We’ve got to do what I call narrowing down to the core and give it a disproportionate focus and attention. Which will accelerate growth, create a deeper bond with your best clients and make you the most trusted advisor, the preeminent authority and highest paid expert in your field. Those that are doing this are hands down the ones crushing it today. If you think about some of the biggest companies in the world, this is really what they do. Apple brag that they are the most focused company in the world. They say NO to more things than they “yes” to. There’s only ONE iPhone. Said differently, there is no competition. If you’re putting a lot of marketing money and effort in going wide and not yielding the growth you want, it's because everyone else is too, and you just become a commodity, fighting too many battles and lacking focus. The good news is, the money is not in doing more things, fighting more battles. The money is in narrowing your focus, removing distractions and picking that ONE thing you’re the best at, that your competition is not paying attention to and you will win the war. You will out-do, out-perform and out-earn your competition. You’ll dominate your marketplace, bring in more revenue and cultivate a team of elite performers, that are focused, energized and love to be part of your brand. This means, that when it comes down to your best buyers making a purchase and choosing who to do business with, who are they going to choose? They’re going to choose you, the expert that has specialized. Your prospects will see that and know you are the most trusted advisor, most preeminent authority and go to expert in your marketplace. You with me? Why because you didn’t dabble. Because you had precision and didn’t do things halfass. So the question becomes number one, what do you do to position yourself as the go to expert? ...And how do you do it so you’re not just wasting money on the next shiny idea or marketing tactic? Meaning, what’s a strategic way of doing this, without overwhelm, or running your team to the ground, right? ...And how do you know what is the right focus that will yield the biggest most relevant results? The secret is called Precision Based Growth. and precision can be a dangerous word because it could be mistaken with, perfection or micromanaging and it's the complete opposite. This is not what this is about. The word precision is key here. We want to remove any and all friction, distraction, any unproductive, unprofitable, unnecessary, meaningless activities and behaviors that slow you down and decelerate your growth. We want precision. It makes you faster, more flexible and gives you freedom. So if we want to dominate our market and accelerate growth we need to ask ourselves... Number one, if all areas of our team’s performance remained the same which ONE area could use the greatest most relevant improvement and growth? And number two, what are all my current key activities that are making me inefficient, unproductive, unprofitable? Number three, What core values drive our company and which ONE target will help to congruently fulfill on those values? And here is the big one, who do I need to become in order to demonstrate the leadership necessary to inspire my team into action? In other words, what's the mindset, what are the beliefs, skills, habits and consistent behaviors I must own to be the type of leader others want to follow? Once you have the answers to these questions and own that stuff, here's the roadmap with Precision Based Growth...   Phase ONE: Clarify. We use the information as building blocks. We identify the best most relevant key targets. And which ones do you think are the best? Of course, the once aligned with you core values, most profitable and energizing. What are we doing here? Probably not too hard to guess, right? We’re using Precision Based Growth to strip away, simplify and remove all that stuff that slows you down so you can accelerate the growth of your business. How about I give you a quick example of how it relates outside of business? A client of mine; a Tennis pro who went from being ranked 50 in the world to not even being in the top 100. (He had an injury and had to stop playing for awhile and he took it really hard as you can imagine. It affected his confidence and certainty. This is not only his passion but also his career. I asked him what he wanted. He goes, “I want to win a Grand Slam. I want to be #1. It’s been a dream since I was a little kid.” Now in the world of tennis this is a big deal. It’s the biggest thing you can do in Tennis. (You could say it changes your status and your income drastically. It’s a whole different life if you’re a pro. It will 10X your income for sure). Because of the injury he went from top 50 to leaving the top 100. This is not an easy turn-around… Are you following? Apart from working on the mindset we had to understand where the most efficient focus and energy had to be. It was not enough to just practice for two hour a day, we needed precision. What kinda of practice would make the biggest difference? Are you with me? We had to make a complete evaluation to turn this around. We couldn’t just focus on his footwork, backhand, volley’s, slicing or serving. I asked him, “Which ONE area would bring the greatest level of growth, which would impact your game most?” Right? Because everything is not equal. He goes, “No doubt, my serve.” But then we went deeper, “How many perfect serves can you make in a row?” Without going into the whole story right now... Here’s the point. We had to find a a way to evaluate the most important area of focus (so he didn’t treat every aspect of practice with equal importance) and then we had to figure out the most productive activity to increase the success of his serve. Just by doing this, in his next tournament he made it to the finals. Which is amazing because he had not won a game since the injury. That’s the power of precision. Precision of mindset, precision of activity and precision in knowing the fruits of the activity. Of knowing not only what to focus on but how to focus. If I go to my marriage. We have focused on finding each other’s most leveraged things; where we are the most effective and efficient instead of focusing on being equal and fair. (When I saying fair, I’m talking about splitting tasks 50/50). This is a major point of conflict in many marriages. (This will be the topic of a completely separate episode). But just to give you a quick example. I have not cooked a meal in over 8 years, from scratch. Not that I can’t, I know how to cook, but it’s not where I’m most efficient, where I can make my greatest contribution. When Emily, my wife prepares food, it’s way healthier, tastier, and she enjoys it. (most of the time.) She has a system. Could I learn it? Yes. But it’s not in my values, like it is for her. I wouldn’t put Emily in coaching clients or making sales call. It’s not that she can’t. She is great in sales. She closes me and the kids all the time on what she wants. It’s just not in her values. When it comes to dressing the kids, she loves doing that, and doesn’t want me to do that. (She thinks she has better taste than me.) And I’m sure she’s right. She does a great job doing. Therefore, I’m not going to waste my mental energy of doing something that lowers my efficiency and takes away from what I do best or enjoy most. Like being here with you, right now! Is this making sense. You getting this? I know people struggle with this every day. They try to force themselves to be motivated to do something that is completely out of alignment with their values. Again, this is the topic of a completely different episode. Let’s continue. Phase Two in Precision Based Growth is Execution...How do you implement the most effective, most efficient messaging, packaging, positioning, offers, the most precise sales process that guarantee your best buyers know you are the most trusted advisor, the most preeminent authority and go to expert in your field.It’s very simple… Once we strip away all unnecessary, unwanted and low-productive and unprofitable activities we move into… Phase Three. OPTIMIZE: If you want to remove overwhelm, burnout and stay focused, efficient and be the kind of leader that goes first, that others want to follow, you’ve got to be relentless and engage your team in developing deliberate, habit-forming activities that consistently elevates your thinking, skills and processes so you can achieve accelerated, sustainable growth in the midst of outside demands. It’s a very very simple concept. And it’s extremely powerful. You see, you know what’s great? Nobody’s doing this. The ones who are winning are narrowing their focus. Luckily for us, not a lot of people are narrowing their focus. They’re busy getting distracted. Trying to please everyone and being controlled by the demands around them. They’re very reactive. I say, let them. The best is doing this. If you want to really, really grow your business and really outperform your competition. The money is here. …Focused on precision-based growth. If you want to stand out, accelerate your growth and keep your sanity, I strongly suggest you test this thing out.Remember: Precision Based Growth equals Exponential Growth... In your business. In your life. In your marriage. In your family. In your health and in your finances. I hope you found value in today’s episode and you enjoyed it as much as i enjoyed making it for you… Now if you know somebody who might find this helpful please feel free to share this podcast… This is how we continue to grow and make a difference in the people’s lives around us.Until next time, this is Satori Mateu with Halfass to Badass.com Stay focused and keep optimizing your business and life for massive growth.

You're probably studying all the different strategies out there, right? That's also great. But the hardest part is figuring out how to remove overwhelm and friction and get done what matters without burning yourself and without killing yourself in the process, right?

So if you’re wondering how Precision Based Growth can work in your business or life, I created a special opportunity for you to get on a call with me to get you on track with the right focus, and more important, how to maximize growth, maximize efficiency and simplify.

We like to have fun, honest talks about music and the business of music. Fortunately, our guest, Emily Miller, knows her stuff.   Emily works in Communications & Outreach for the Austin Music Foundation (AMF). And she walks the walk. When Emily isn't working, she can be found at shows all around Austin. It's her passion and it shows in her hustle.   Emily willed her way into the music business and now helps musicians with their business education needs. She does this while having a fantastic disdain for corporate culture. We talked about AMF programs as well as Fair City Fire's own experiences with AMF advisors. FYI, Fair City Fire has been an AMF Artist of the Month and is thankful for all AMF does for our music community. Enjoy the episode!   #rowyourboat #highclassnut

Is the struggle for perfection squelching your creative energy? Before you are tempted to say NO, you need to listen to today’s show. We are hearing a personal story of a spiritual awakening, freedom from perfection, and the power of creative energy as a vehicle in cultivating self-worth. Emily Pereira was once entrenched in the corporate world, searching for happiness and fulfillment everywhere except for where it really exists. Emily had a breakdown that became an astonishing breakthrough. After discovering a treasure trove of passion and magic living inside her to which she was previously blind, she’s now helping other women attract soul-affirming love into their lives by showing them how to gain access to their magnetic, radiant selves via one-on-one coaching and transformational Costa Rica retreats. Her ebook, Unstoppable Woman, is available on Amazon, and her 300-page memoir, The Quest, is in the wings. A mom-preneur living her dream life in Costa Rica, Emily is giving other women a map for how to manifest the life that aligns with their heart. She’s here today to tell her amazing story. Living the dream Isn’t that what most people want---the dream? For Emily, her original dream was to be a teacher, but she found herself in pharmaceutical sales, a job she describes as having “golden handcuffs.” She lived a comfortable lifestyle even though she didn’t have passion for the job, but the benefits were top-notch. Fast forward five years when a life crisis caused her world to come crashing down in her late 20’s. Nothing was bringing her happiness, even though she had all the “stuff.”  TWEET: It can look like you “have it all” to everyone else and still be completely unhappy with your life. It’s not the stuff that makes you happy - it’s following your dreams. @bethebeginner The biggest illusion What is the biggest illusion in your life? When Emily connected to a spiritual teacher, he told her she had bought into illusions about herself and the way the world works, with the biggest one being that she had to be perfect in order to have approval, acceptance, and love. He said she was creative, but was freezing herself out of her natural creative passion with her attempt to be perfect. The result was that she was walking around in a constant state of judgment on herself. She says the key to finding freedom is giving yourself permission to be “the beginner” and taking on full radical personal responsibility. TWEET: “Give yourself the freedom to be imperfect and to be the beginner.” @bethebeginner “You’re a writer” Has someone ever told you something about yourself that took you by surprise? When Emily’s spiritual teacher said, “You’re a writer,” it took her awhile to believe and know where to start. He challenged her to set an intention, be the beginner, and write her story. She found with amazement that when she suspended judgment, the words flowed freely. Sentences turned into paragraphs, then pages, then chapters---and she was transformed in the process. She began to play guitar, sing, write songs, paint paintings, do improv, and dance burlesque in an explosion of creative passion. The floodgates were opened and created a cascade of spiritual changes.  TWEET: “Suspend judgement of yourself and finally be able to be in flow.” @bethebeginner Guest Recommendation: ONE action for a dream chaser to take--”Be patient with yourself and find people who are a little ahead of you on the path who can help you. Permission leads to passion, and passion delivers you to your purpose.” OUTLINE OF THIS EPISODE: [:06] How she ended up in Costa Rica [3:40] What young Emily wanted to do with her life [8:05] The spiritual teacher who changed everything [9:10] Buying into the illusion [13:03] Full radical personal responsibility [14:46] Finding the silver lining [17:25] “Write your story and heal your heart” [21:55] Belief in yourself [22:35] Feeling compassion for women bound by chains of perfection [23:56] The pull of Costa Rica [29:00] Emily’s two books [29:35] Why Emily wouldn’t change anything in her journey [31:30] ONE action for a dream chaser RESOURCES MENTIONED IN THE EPISODE: Emily’s Website - Find out about Emily’s work, retreats, coaching, books, blog, and more!

In this episode, she shares the most important tips and tricks you need to know to make your videos stand way above the rest! “I want to tell people, don't put that much pressure on yourself.

She pours so much into each video she edits, and her goal is always to bring out the best in the person she's editing and make them look as good as possible.

What do you get when you combine two business besties, 5 million podcast downloads and a brand new book? Today’s So Money guests, Co-Founders of the Being Boss Podcast: Emily Thompson and Kathleen Shannon. When Emily and Kathleen were growing up, they watched their parents head to 9 to 5 jobs and bring home steady paychecks, but each one of them through a series of events became creative entrepreneurs, eventually setting aside their day jobs in favor of launching their own businesses. The two friends combined their creative forces and started a podcast called Being Boss, where they've interviewed leading experts, including Melissa Hartwig, who is the co- creator of the Whole30 diet. Remember I went on that? It was actually one of the best diets I've ever been on. They’ve also interviewed me, although you will have to wait for that interview. It airs later in September, so really excited to bring on Emily and Kathleen to So Money ahead of that. Their podcast success has led to a book deal. It's called Being Boss and it just hit shelves a few months ago.

When Emily decided with her boyfriend a year ago to start cosplaying, she had no idea what influence this will have on her life. Getting into cosplay have not only sparked the creative part of Emily, but also improved her confidence and health life substantially.    Reference Links:   Steelgirl on Instagram Steelgirl on Facebook Little.Songbird GamerGirlUK   For your own free cosplay page, join CosplayWon.com  

One day, Emily had trouble getting out of bed... Then, her feet felt heavy when she was walking. Pain crept up her body... From her feet, to her knees, to her hips, and then her shoulders... She had bones that started protruding out and had tingling sensations... It all happened very quickly... From August of 2015 to December 2015, pain and tingling had taken over her entire body. When Emily went to see a doctor, she was told she would need to start taking a chemotherapy agent to manager her symptoms. She didn't want to take those pills.. So instead, she was given a medication that helped with her pain and inflammation, but it also made her face fat, gave her suicidal thoughts, made her lethargic, sad, moody, and tingly. At only 35 years old, Emily knew there had to be a better way to deal with the symptoms of her now crippling Rheumatoid Arthritis. Fast forward to today... Emily is medication free and is no longer dealing with the side effects of her medications. Her pain is almost gone and she knows how to manage it with what she chooses on the shelf at her local grocery store. Listen to this episode of Stories of Self-Healing to hear Emily's incredible story...

When Emily and her daughter caught a nasty virus, her regular self-care practices fell to the wayside. Yoga and meditation were seen as expendable, and healthy eating was just too exhausting to even contemplate. Problem is, those were the very practices that were keeping her feeling more balanced and healthy. Once the dust settled and the sickness lifted, Betsy began to ask questions around what Emily was doing to take care of herself and her daughter, and what, if anything, she was doing to get better. Of course, those questions prompted further discussions and a whole lot of self-reflection. AND, it prompted us to want to talk more about the in's and out's of self-care, particularly when something like an illness or surgery comes in and throws everything off track. What about you? What do you have in place in your own life to support you and help you feel better? How does being sick (or tired, or in recovery mode) change how you take care of yourself? Also, are there things you've wanted to try but have either been afraid of it or pushed it off to the side?     Topics Discussed: General feelings around self-care Is self-care selfish? Taking care of our bodies The mental side of self-care Introversion, extroversion, and the power of being alone Creativity and play When things throw a wrench in our self-care routines Recovering from illness or trauma Intuition and self-care Resource Links: Cellular Expansion Sensory Deprivation Tanks Himalayan Salt Cave Duolingo The meditation episode (Ep. #9) The interview with Leslie on Tarot (Ep. #5) Make Miracles in 40 Days by Melodie Beatty Dry Brush Silk Pillowcases Hit us up: Twitter: @nandfpodcast and #nandfpodcast Facebook: nourishandflourishpodcast Email: hello@nourishandflourish.us  

This week's show is with Emily Nature helps smart, successful career women to have fun in dating and relationships. Whether you want to get into partnerships with ease, get through rough patches with grace, or get out of heartbreak with freedom, Emily is your gal. Under Emily's guidance, hundreds of women in the US, UK, Europe and Australia have found delicious relationships with themselves, with their bodies and with men. When Emily is not coaching, she can be found writing, dancing wildly, stalking squirrels, or contemplating on mountain tops. Emily and I talked about her experience of exploring past her boundaries and testing her edges in a relationship... and finding out what she does and doesn't want. In Emily's case the boundary was around her boyfriend's desire to experience a polyamorous relationship (ie wanting to experience sexual intimacy with more than one person) and then ultimately discovering that what she really wants is what she calls 'unconventional monogamy', however this topic of exploring our boundaries can apply to almost all of us. What you'll learn from this episode: Providing the space for yourself and your partner to explore and articulate your thoughts emotions means that you can more fully experience and benefit from what you're both feeling. That's not always easy to do and personally I found Emily's description of how she and her boyfriend did that was very inspiring. Not knowing who you really are, what you want or don't want is a powerful place to be. When we lessen our grip on our stories about how we think we should be, so much freedom and exploration can come from that place. Understanding that we're always 'OK', that we always have inner wellbeing and happiness, allows us to feel safer when we're exploring past our edges.

Recovery from addiction is a particularly challenging process for women, who are also mothers, to go through. Emily Lynn Paulson, author of the book, Highlight Real: Finding Honesty and Recovery Beyond the Filtered Life, is our guest for today's show. She shares the story of her addiction and her journey along the path of the process of recovery and healing. Emily lives in Seattle and she's is the mother of five children. She has been sober for three years now, and she is a certified, professional recovery coach. Emily used to dislike herself a lot. She had difficulty with being honest, both with herself and with others. From a very young age, she used to tell white lies to cover up the things she didn't like about herself and to make up for the things she thought she lacked. Episode Link>> www.theaddictedmind.com/80 ( http://www.theaddictedmind.com/80 ) When Emily started drinking, it helped her to cover up, and make up, for the things she didn't like about herself or that she thought she lacked. The first time she ever drank alcohol, she realized that it affected her differently to the way it affected her peers. Rather than just having fun, when she drank, she felt that she was finally the person she was always meant to be. This theme wove its way into different areas of her life and followed her until she found recovery. When she was younger, it was hard for Emily to make the connection between alcohol and her problem because back then it was still relatively easy for her to hide things from other people. Bad things didn't happen every time she drank but every time something bad happened, she had been drinking. At college, her problem was easy to hide because everyone was drinking all the time and her behavior didn't appear to be any different from that of anyone else. As an adult, Emily had five children and she didn't drink while she was pregnant. So she continued denying her problem for quite some time until the consequences of her drinking finally started outweighing what she thought she was getting out of it. Emily didn't believe she was an alcoholic at first because she thought she could stop drinking. She made several attempts to stop but she always started again. Deep down, she knew that she had a problem but she was not willing to let it go forever. That is alcoholic-thinking, and it is very common. Eventually, it got to the point where Emily could no longer deny her alcoholism. All the dishonesty, secrecy, and lies of omission can make addiction a soul-crushing condition. Other people are often not fully aware of what is going on, so they don't step in and offer to help. Although Emily came to realize that dishonesty didn't work, it was still very hard for her to become fully honest. She found that coming out with her sobriety, and also writing her book, helped her to make the connection and become truthful about who she was, and about the things she still needed to deal with. She knew that she could not start afresh without first dealing with everything that had come before. It's very easy to give a false impression of what is going on in our lives with social media. And many people fall into the social media "comparison-trap". Having to confront her kids with her alcoholism was the most difficult part of recovery for Emily but it was also her biggest blessing because it brought about some very necessary conversations. Alcohol is not something that women have to do to survive their kids. For Emily, her book is an important message to women, telling them how necessary it is, to tell the truth to other women about what alcohol does to mothers. Since Emily started putting her sobriety first, she has been able to be there for her family in a way that she has never known before. Her life has become so much better. She's not perfect now, but her best day when she was drinking was always way worse than her worst day, sober. *Links and resources:* Emily's website - www.emilylynnpaulson.com ( http://www.emilylynnpaulson.com/ ) Emily on Instagram - @highlight real recovery You can find Emily's book on Amazon ( https://amzn.to/2MuEhPJ )
