In a previous life, Emily was a corporate girlie, working with Fortune 500 companies as an account manager. In 2021, she left the corporate world and set out on the path of self employment, working primarily with podcasters to help build, grow, and monetize their shows.  Outside of working with creatives in the outdoor industry, she loves being outside, climbing or trail running, preferably with a great female crew and some pups.   We talk about…   - The identity crisis of leaving a full time job - Knowing that the conventional path wasn’t for her or her partner after trying to follow it - Moving from the northeast to Colorado to be closer to outdoor passions - How your income doesn’t equate to your worth (but that’s hard to not feel!) - Openness with a partner about money and financial goals, including having money dates (cute!) - Sobriety and the decision to stop drinking - The “So you’re not fun anymore?” reaction from loved ones when you stop drinking - How you can support people in your life who are considering sobriety - How self-employment is a constant experiment with ups and downs - Being your own boss through the wins and challenges   How to connect with Emily: Emily on LinkedIn Wild Poppy Creative Consulting 👋How to connect with Jeni and Angie: Jeni on Instagram Angie on Instagram Angie’s website Angie on LinkedIn FTLO on Instagram    ⭐Please rate and review For The Love Of: On Apple Podcasts On Spotify     Shout-Outs: Music: The Kind of Sandwich Island by Shut-ins Thank you to The Ruins, the best wedding venue in Oregon, for supporting the show.   Follow FTLO on IG: https://www.instagram.com/for.the.love.of.podcast/ For full show notes and more: https://fortheloveofpod.com 💕
