In this week’s episode Emma & Emma are back and are taking on the topic of people pleasing and navigating life through the forest of other people’s perceptions and expectations. We touch on our adolescent and present-day encounters with this theme while asking ourselves who or what our lives are currently serving. We also touch on why it’s not sustainable to live around the wishes and expectations of those surrounding you. We hope you enjoy! As always, feel free to email or message us any questions or comments! Episode nineteen of our All (Em)bracing series. Equipping women to lead extraordinary lives by embracing their whole selves through a healthy mind, body, and spirit. Music by www.bensound.com. Cover art by Christa Tousley.
