58. Permission NOT to know, the aquarius eclipse season & facing our own mortality...with Intuitive Mentor Bridget Rose

64. *dear emily*...navigating unexpected life change (a new series!)

Welcome to the very first Dear Emily episode. This is a new series where you write in about the career transitions, professional crossroads & unexpected changes you're navigating and I coach you through them in a *dear abby* style episode on the podcast (always anonymously). Earlier this week, I got an email from someone who in the last year alone has: 1) shut down a very successful business  2) gave birth to her second baby 3) left an unstable marriage 4) started an MBA for entrepreneurs 5) all while finding clarity on her purpose in this new stage of life. Needless to say, she's going through some major changes. As she put it, it feels scary financially, tiring emotionally and physically, and she doesn't feel like she has enough time in the day. She wanted to know how I (and other women) have moved through the unexpected changes in life. As I read this email I realized something--so much of what makes life transitions difficult is the isolation. What makes these transitions easier? Knowing that others have gone through it too. In this episode, you'll hear more about what she's experiencing and then, some reframes, tools and perspective shifts that I've found helpful on my own journey (and that I've seen be helpful for clients as well). I shared: * how my definition of 'finding purpose' has changed and what I think it means now  * the hidden cost of trying to stay strong and what we actually need to feel strong during life's upheavals * one simple, but wildly effective (and free) tool I use that helps me actually become the person who can create the big changes I want for myself * a reframe for navigating the blank canvas after you've made a big change that might bring you the sense of peace and relief you've been looking for ➡️ Navigating big life change yourself that you'd like me to coach you on through the podcast like this one? Email support@emilyelizamoyer.com with subject line "Dear Emily" and a few sentences about the life changes you're navigating (I'll always keep it anonymous).    ➡️ Want to work through your crossroads privately with me? Email support@emilyelizamoyer.com with the subject line 'Crossroads' and I'll share more details about my Crossroads Sessions--potent one-off coaching sessions that will help you untangle the mess in your head and get clear on where you're going next in less than 90 minutes.

63. I pressed publish...and then, CRINGE

Last week, I published a podcast episode...and then immediately wanted to delete it. In this episode, I'm sharing why we're actually the worst judges of our own work (especially when we're out of the habit of creating), why we can't rely on something feeling "good enough" before we press publish, and the simple tool that's helped me through every pivot, transition and reinvention in my life: guiding principles. I share what "guiding principles" are, the exact ones I use to show up every day as I'm rebuilding my business after baby (especially when things are clunky, awkward, cringey, etc.), why I'm already working and chose to hire a part-time nanny just five weeks postpartum and a little behind-the-scenes of my life as a mama-CEO that you'll never see on IG :) Finally, if you're in one of those seasons where you've outgrown your work (your business or job), but don't know where you want to go next, I'm offering something new: They're called Crossroads Sessions: potent, single-session coaching calls to help you quickly untangle the mess in your head, get clear on what you actually want and leave knowing your next right step. Email emily@emilyelizamoyer.com or shoot me a DM on IG (@emilyelizamoyer) with "crossroads" to learn more.

62. Rebuilding my business in real-time after having a baby

Earlier this week, we talked about where to start when you don't know where to start. Today, I'm taking you behind-the-scenes and sharing more about:   * some of the answers I've found around who I'm helping now & why  * what I'm thinking about the role social media may (or may not) play in this next chapter * the reminder I need to tell myself again and again as I'm figuring out what's next that you may need to hear too  * the two clients who helped me realize what I love to coach on most

61. Where to start when you don't know where to start

Last week, I found myself three weeks postpartum, soooo sick of scrolling, watching tv, listening to podcasts, reading.  I just couldn't consume another damn thing. I knew I needed to just create something.  But, I didn't know where to start. I realized as I was lying there, in my unmade bed, with the baby sleeping on my chest, the doggie snoring on my toes, that this was exactly where I needed to start. I needed to share what I do when I'm in that exact uncomfortable moment because, maybe, it'll be helpful for you too.  I have sooooooooo much to catch you up on. Like my wild AF birth story and what it taught me about when life (or business) does nooooooot go to plan. What motherhood is like so far & why I'm already working just one month in. How I'm navigating the transition into CEO-Mama land, rebuilding in real-time. The next evolution of my business & why I am so not afraid of AI taking my job. What my intuition is telling me about what's coming for the future of work But for now, enjoy this little podcast episode about where to start when you don't know where to start (and please forgive the sound quality, but frankly, I think it's perfect for the lesson I'm sharing <3)

60. The Art of the Pivot with Kacia Ghetmiri

It doesn't matter how many times you've made a pivot in life, when you are craving making a big change, it will ROCK your world. This is why, for months now, I've been bringing women onto this podcast to talk about their pivots, transitions and seasons of big change. Who better to learn from than women who have gone before? In this episode, I’m joined by Kacia Ghetmiri: ex-Googler, top podcast host of empowerHER (we're talking .5% podcast here with 13+ MILLION downloads), turned million-dollar coach and now, recently pregnant with her 2nd baby, has started a brand-new career as a real estate agent. Speaking with Kacia felt like catching up with an old girlfriend who was just here to drop some wisdom.    She shared her thoughts on:   * how she knows when it's time to pivot * navigating next steps in your career change when nothing feels clear * how ambition and career identity changes through motherhood * and she even gave us a mini-course on growing & monetizing a podcast (I took many many notes)!!!  We also get into building a business as a mother, trusting the future version of yourself, and Kacia took us through her whole journey from coaching and podcasting into real estate.
