This week we meet Emily Soccorsy, our last amazing co-host! Emily demonstrates how she lives life emotion-first; she shares deeply personal stories, and the invaluable lessons she’s learned from grief and perseverance.

Emily also shares with us her wisdom around the power of emotions & why our beliefs shape our business. 

We’ll learn how telling stories has shaped her varied career, and how being driven can be more about patient persistence than non-stop grinding. Don’t miss this beautiful deep dive with our final co-host!

Join us as we discuss: 

• 23:50 The unconscious standards we set for ourselves, and why success won’t help us understand them.
• 29:43 How the sharing of embodied sensations can help us find our people.
• 31:15 The important roles of failure and forgetting in personal growth.
• 35:11 Breaking down the false distinctions between the values in our personal and business lives.
