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! In this episode: Signs you need a break How stepping away, even for just one night, can shift your mindset Our iconic Beverly Hills Hotel staycation Beyond Date Nights — how true connection takes presence The Core of ALL Love Languages How even solo hotel stays can inspire big breakthroughs Reset Your Mind, Reset Your Vision The Cloudy Water Analogy Sneak Peek of The Fordivine Retreat Why The Fordivine Retreat is your next level reset And so much more!

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!

Imagine going from a happy athletic teenager to becoming paralyzed from the neck down — with no feeling, movement, or cure for a brighter medical outcome.  Meet Natalie Buchoz. Just before her 16th birthday, Natalie endured a life-altering spinal cord injury that changed her path forever. From once a happy and athletic teenager, she had to relearn the very basics: breathing, sitting up, feeding herself, and using her hands again, all while being told she might never live independently or pursue her passions.  Yet Natalie defied every expectation with her relentless spirit and what her loved ones called her “Nattitude.” This fierce, faith-driven determination led her to walk at her high school graduation, earn a degree at USC, and become one of the first producers with a spinal cord injury to make waves in the media industry. Today, she works alongside some of the world’s leading talent, including renowned psychiatrist Dr. Daniel Amen. In life, we’re often faced with a choice: to be defined by our past or to let it propel us toward something greater. In this episode, Natalie shares how she turned the unimaginable loss into a story of hope, faith, and purpose. Tune in to be moved, uplifted, and reminded that sometimes our calling is bigger than we could ever imagine.  In this episode: The beginning of a beautiful friendship The importance of finding and nurturing genuine friendships that empower and elevate one another Clarity Over Comparison — the importance of defining what you truly want Natalie’s Life-Altering Accident Unshakeable Identity — defining yourself beyond what can be taken away The power of surrendering to a higher purpose Embracing your uniqueness The importance of finding mentors who challenge you and help you see your potential From Reluctance to Resonance — how Natalie inspired others through her authentic online presence Embracing gratitude by acknowledging abundance in our everyday lives Why normalizing disability is key to creating a more inclusive society And so much more!
