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. Together, Emily and Kevin explore the experiences that shaped his journey and the insights he now shares with others to help them release what no longer serves them, step confidently into God’s plan, and live with more clarity, freedom, and purpose.

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.

Once entangled in addiction, dealing, and destruction, he now leads a ministry devoted to delivering women out of trafficking, addiction, and exploitation, even transforming a strip club into a house of healing.

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. It’s in how deeply it connects.  What You’ll Learn: The qualities every brand message must carry to connect deeply How to speak with clarity so even a 12-year-old can repeat your message Why conviction, not polish, makes you magnetic The surprising way to stand out without being controversial How to create a calling-based personal brand that creates legacy, not just likes Timestamps: (02:01) - Why clarity is more powerful than content (04:53) - The real reason why your message isn’t landing (05:17) - Why complexity kills clarity (06:22) - How to make your message instantly repeatable (09:10) - How to make people say “That’s me” (10:42) - Conviction beats polish every time (10:55) - Your story is the bridge to your audience (15:52) - Why challenging the status quo is key (23:06) - Your brand is a permission slip, not a performance (26:17) - The secret to building a timeless personal brand (27:29) - The enemy’s tactic to keep you quiet (33:02) - Invitation to “The Called” Masterclass  Join “The Called” Masterclass The Called Masterclass | https://fordivine.com/masterclass  More from Emily & FORDIVINE: Website |  https://meetemilyford.com   Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/itsemily         Facebook | https://www.facebook.com/itsemilymethod    YouTube | https://www.youtube.com/c/ITSEMILYFORD   Called & Crowned Podcast | https://www.instagram.com/calledandcrowned/  FORDIVINE | https://www.fordivine.com/ 

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. But behind the sermons and stages was a man slowly unraveling - battling addiction, shame, infidelity, and internal collapse. His fall was public. His marriage ended. And his soul was buried in shame. Until one day, he woke up after another suicide attempt and asked: If God wanted me dead… why did He let me live? In this deeply honest conversation, Brad shares the raw truth of what it means to fall hard and rise again - not just to ministry, but to identity, purpose, and divine restoration. This isn’t a story about being perfect. It’s a story about what God can do when you finally surrender your shame. What you’ll learn: How shame keeps you from stepping into your authority Why guilt and shame are not the same and how to heal How to hear from God when you feel unworthy What it means to be “called and crowned” after failure The spiritual and scientific path to becoming whole again Timestamps: (02:36) - Brad’s Three Suicide Attempts (09:13) - Living a Double Life as a Pastor (13:29) - The Godly encounter that sparked a spiritual shift (22:30) - The Story of King David: What it really means to be “Called and Crowned” (29:09) - Guilt vs Shame: Which one is keeping you stuck?

Let me ask you something… when was the last time you actually felt at peace? Like, deep, soul-level peace — not drowning in your to-do list, not filling every empty space on your calendar just to feel productive. When was the last time you felt calm? Or honestly… the last time you felt like yourself. Can’t remember? I get it. Today, I’m coming in with a message you probably didn’t know you needed. We’re talking burnout — how to recognize it, why it’s showing up in your life, and most importantly, how to finally break free from it. And I’m not here to sugarcoat anything. I’m giving you the raw, real Emily per usual, because I’ve been there — burnt out, overcommitted, and losing my sense of self because I was trying to do all things and be all things for everyone else.  If that’s you right now, this episode is your reset button. It’s time to clear your calendar, set some boundaries, and finally step into the peace and purpose God designed for you. Because here’s the thing: You were never meant to live burnt out. You were meant to live blazing forward, filled with clarity, energy, and purpose. Let’s dive in! In this episode: Why your significance is not tied to your busyness Signs of Burnout (emotional, behavioral, physical) What Is Burnout? What Causes Burnout? The Different Stages of Burnout The Alignment Audit The Invincible Power of Choice Discernment and the Law of Trade-Offs The Power of the BIG MO Life Bucket Assessment — where is your energy going?  How to take your power back and blaze forward Invitation to the Worthy of Wellness Club And so much more!

Feeling overwhelmed and stretched too thin? Trust me, I get it. Between business, relationships, and life’s constant demands, it’s easy to find yourself running empty. But here’s the thing — sometimes, the reset you need is not a big elaborate vacation or a complete overhaul of your routine. It’s much simpler than that.  Today, I am joined by husband, Jake, to talk about how a 24-hour staycation in Beverly Hills gave us exactly the reset we didn’t even realize we needed. We’re going to dive into why switching up your environment, even for a short period, can shift your energy, deepen your connection, and bring clarity where there once was chaos. We’ll share how this quick getaway helped us break free from the everyday stress, sparked fresh creativity and brought us closer than ever before.  If you’ve been feeling drained, uninspired, or just off, then you need to hear this! Because the reality is, your best ideas and your biggest breakthroughs don’t happen when you’re drowning in the day-to-day grind. They happen when you create space for them. Let’s dive in!

For years, I thought my time for new business ventures had passed, until I discovered Shaklee and its visionary leader, Roger Barnett. If you’ve been following me on social, you’ve probably heard of the Heritage Club. It’s more than just a beautiful brand, it’s a reflection of everything I stand for, and one of the cornerstones of this venture is my partnership with Shaklee. Roger Barnett is the Chairman and CEO of Shaklee Corporation, a pioneering natural nutrition company founded in 1956. With over 2 Million members and ambassadors across North America and Asia, Shaklee’s ageless movement immediately caught my attention. But what truly blew me away was Roger himself — a brilliant entrepreneur with an impressive career that began in investment banking and grew into groundbreaking ventures like Beauty.com and revitalizing iconic brands like Burberry through his family’s legacy. With degrees from Yale and Harvard and a career rooted in making an impact, Roger is the kind of business partner you dream of working with. When I started exploring Shaklee’s products, especially their EWG-certified clinical-grade skincare and nutrition lines, I was hooked. After personally experiencing the incredible impact on my health and skin, I knew this was more than just a business—it was a mission I couldn’t ignore.  That’s how the Heritage Club was born. It’s not just a brand I’m proud of; it’s a movement built on doing things differently—classy, sophisticated, and purpose-driven. And partnering with someone like Roger, who shares that vision, feels like a divine alignment. In this episode, you’ll hear directly from Roger about his journey, Shaklee’s mission, and how we’re working together to revolutionize the beauty and wellness space. If you’re ready to get inspired and maybe even think about how you can plug into this vision—stay tuned. Let’s dive in! In this episode: Roger’s Purpose-Driven Leadership Entrepreneurial lessons from Roger’s early ventures from shoe-shining to Beauty.com The Search for Shaklee and Its Unique Business Model Discovering Shaklee’s Legacy Science-Backed Wellness Combining Heritage with Innovation — how Shaklee, much like Burberry, harnesses timeless quality to fuel innovation and continued growth Community Marketing™: The Heart of Shaklee The Heritage Club The Land of AND Rewards for Impact: Shaklee’s Revolutionary Compensation Plan Strategies that drive Shaklee’s growth Health on a Global Scale Why Small Wins Matter And so much more!
