Welcome to the very first episode of The Simplified Podcast! Throughout the show, Emily will take you by the hand and help you think about some of the pressure points in your life—like overwhelm at home and work and in your relationships—and give you tactical tools to bring more calm and confidence into your days. Emily kicks off her brand-new podcast by laying all the cards on the table and asking: can we dare to build a life we love, even when life throws unimaginable challenges our way? We all worry about our families, and our careers, and our futures in the face of uncertainty, but none of us wants to spend every single day battling the anxiety monster. So how do we move forward when we feel stuck? Where do we start when everything feels hard?  Emily walks us through three steps for putting one foot in front of the other so we can step out of the anxiety keeping us frozen and into this brave truth: we may not have control of what happens to us, but we do have a choice about how we respond.   * * * PRE-ORDER EMILY’S NEW BOOK!
