Episode notes
Work And Life As One Journey
- Work and life are one integrated journey where career is a crucible for becoming yourself.
- Emily frames this as a Jungian process of externally manifesting your inner self through sustained effort.
Visualize Then Take Small Practical Steps
- Create structure: visualize a complete happy life, then use small pragmatic steps to move toward it.
- Shine the flashlight close to the page and diligently do what you're good at while the score takes care of itself.
Visualization Led To Real-Life Change
- Emily used vivid visualization of a happy past (a pond in Tahoe) while stressed in New York to pull her life toward that reality.
- Years later she lived in Telluride with a pond, illustrating manifestation through consistent imagination and choices.
