Today's guest on Eyes Wide Open is Emma Demar, also known by her nickname, “That Trendy Therapist.” She's a licensed clinical social worker, former actress from Gossip Girl, podcast host, and bestselling author of the book, “The Truth Teller: The Truth Behind Our Masks.”    In my journey to better understand myself and my internal motivations, I came across Emma and her book, which is all about how to rediscover yourself through inner work so that you can show up in the world as your authentic self. I instantly connected with her message because it aligns with one of my key ethos in, to be unapologetically myself and do the work to get there.   Our conversation covers positivity, grounding, unmasking, how to accept your own complexities, and learning your inner truth. Emma also shares her own mental health journey, including struggling with anorexia as a teenager.   I really hope that you enjoy this episode with Emma, and that it helps you to show up in the world as your true authentic self so you can go through the world with your eyes wide open.   Find Emma here:   Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thattrendytherapist/    Website: https://www.thattrendytherapist.com/home    TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thattrendytherapist    Read “The Truth Teller” book: https://www.amazon.com/Truth-Teller-Behind-Our-Masks/dp/B0CBD639H2    Listen to “The Truth Teller” podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-truth-teller-by-that-trendy-therapist/id1500330939  Find Nick Thompson here:   Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nthompson513/    Website: https://www.engagewithnick.com/    UCAN Foundation: https://www.ucanfoundation.org/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@EngageWithNick  LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/nickthompson13/
