Welcome to Life: TBD! My name is Emalee and I’m not here to give advice. Instead, I invite you to join me in a conversation where I explore and share what it is I am learning and unlearning that is impacting the way I THINK, the person I’m BECOMING, and what I’m DOING to allow Life: To Be Defined.
Have you ever heard the phrase, "You're too sensitive," from someone when you expressed your feelings. Let's talk about it. I consider myself sensitive and I don't believe that's a negative quality. I actually consider it a strength.
QUOTE: "I used to dislike being sensitive. I thought it made me weak. But take away that single trait and you take away the very essence of who I am. You take away my conscience, my ability to empathize, my intuition, my creativity, my deep appreciation for the little things, my vivid inner life, my deep awareness of others' pain, and my passion for it all." - Caitlin Japa

Closing a Chapter: On New Beginnings
If the flower does not grow, do you blame the flower or the environment? A deliberation on understanding when it’s time to close one chapter and begin a new one.
Quote: “Life is like a book, where most people write one book and then spend the rest of their lives rereading the same chapter over and over. When you feel things come up, it’s time to write a whole new chapter. What makes a great book is when you turn to the next chapter and you didn’t see it coming.” - Adam Cheyer

The Podcast has a NAME! Find out the origin story of Life: TBD. I dig into the ways fear held me back and how I moved past it. Special shout out to our inspirations for the episode: Eleanor Roosevelt and Mother Teresa.

Prioritizing Rest: On Peace
First episode of TBD - I swear I'll figure out a name at some point. Until then... :)
*Sigh* Resting and it feels so gooood...so why do I feel guilty? Society has conditioned us to be overachieving "doers" vs peaceful "beings." These are my thoughts after taking some time to rest and be alone.
“It takes courage to say yes to rest and play in a culture where exhaustion is seen as a status symbol.” - Brene Brown
