#300: For this special 300th episode, Emily gets personal and dives into a Q&A submitted by listeners on the following:

#299: If you don't have a general vision or direction for your life, then you will eventually find yourself "floating" too much and almost getting lost. On the flip side, if you plan too much and think too far into the future, you will miss the present and the beauty of letting life happen in its flow.

The thing is, you really do need both. You need to create a general plan of where you're going to go, in order to know what things/people don't align with you on your journey, and vice versa.

So...

#298: At some point in your life, you learn to recognize the value and importance of relationships, especially friendships, that deeply connect with you and leave a positive impact on your life.

The kinds of friendships where you can rely on the person to talk through tough times with you. The types of people that will drive hours, just to see you on a rare occasion.

These of course, take time to build. But what does it start with? Your intention and how you show up for others.

#294: One of the biggest obstacles we face as we navigate adulthood is figuring out our personal finances. From how to make more, save, invest, and of course, how to actually be conscious with the way we spend our money.

It's easy nowadays to just click the purchase button on Amazon and not think anything of it. It's easy to just swipe your credit card on everything you want, but probably shouldn't be buying. It's also easy to hoard a lot of unnecessary items in your closet.

So how can we work to be more mindful...
