She didn’t start a brand to go viral. She started it to find herself again.  At 47, Caroline Baudino thought life had passed her by. Her father was sick, her confidence was gone, and her reflection felt like a stranger’s. But instead of breaking down, she gave herself a simple assignment: Get up. Get dressed. And what began as one woman’s daily act of courage evolved into Shop with Caroline, a brand that now inspires nearly a million women to rediscover their worth and their voice.  In this episode, Emily and Caroline unpack the blueprint behind her personal brand - the habits, systems, and mindset shifts that turned authenticity into influence, and influence into impact, because every brand begins with a belief…that who you are is worth being seen.

Love doesn’t end in one dramatic moment. It fades slowly in silence - in the kiss we don’t give, the words we leave unsaid, and the gratitude we forget to express. That’s where intimacy slips away. In this episode, Emily welcomes back her dear friend, Emmy-winning entertainment reporter and lifestyle expert, Moll Anderson, to unpack the quiet truths about love that most couples miss.

What if the very thing you’ve been fighting all along is the very thing you need to let go of? What if the patterns, shame, and fear you’ve been holding onto aren’t obstacles to push through, but signals pointing you toward freedom? In this episode, Emily sits down with Kevin Crenshaw, known as The Heart Guy, who has spent over a decade helping leaders and individuals break free from the patterns, fears, and habits that keep them stuck. His own near-death experience, chronic illness, and mental health struggles forced him to confront the things he couldn’t control and taught him that surrender to God, not pushing harder, is often the first step toward transformation.

Grief is the wilderness no one prepares us for. The world tells us to move on and bury the pain. But what if grief wasn’t meant to be erased but integrated into who we are becoming? Melissa Dlugolecki knows this firsthand. After losing her daughter Leyden to NEC, her life was shattered, her heart broken, her finances devastated, and her sense of identity stripped away. And yet, it was in that breaking that her rebuilding began. Today, she is a speaker, coach, and author of Scar Tissue, helping thousands transform grief into healing, resilience, and purpose.  In this episode, Melissa opens up about the truth no one wants to talk about: grief doesn’t disappear, it integrates.

Most personal brand messages fall flat because they’re built to sound good, not to connect. If people can’t feel it, they won’t follow it.  You can have a stunning logo, perfectly curated posts, and show up on every platform, but if people can’t instantly tell a friend why they follow you, you’re not creating impact… you’re just adding to the noise.  In this episode, Emily unpacks why most messages get lost in the scroll and the subtle shifts that turn a personal brand into one people can’t stop talking about. She’ll challenge the way you’ve been taught to “show up” online, expose the hidden reasons your audience isn’t engaging, and give you the tools to finally share a message that lands. Because the truth is, your brand’s power isn’t in how good it lands.

He tried to end his life three times. What happened next changed everything.  Brad Scot Johnson was once a respected pastor with a global platform.
