SPEAKER_01 0:00

Welcome back to the Supported Wife Society. I am so excited because my guest today that I'm bringing on is amazing. Her name is Emily Williams. Emily is the founder of iHeart My Life, which is really like this global movement of personal development, and it has helped thousands of women reinvent themselves, clarify their deepest desires, and design lives that feel even better than their dreams. And I can personally attest to that, and you'll hear that in the interview. Emily actually left this path that didn't really light her up. She overcame over$100,000 of debt. She turned her passion into a seven-figure business within 18 months. Her mission is really to help ambitious women stop settling and start fully living by transforming their mindset, really unlocking their wealth potential and then creating lives that deeply align with who they are, which is exactly why I wanted Emily on the show today. Emily is the creator of the I Heart My Life method, I heart money, and to be ambitious, which is really a high-level mastermind for women. She also hosts a show called I Heart My Life Show, Shocker. And so, really, Emily's goal is to help women rise up. And so if you've ever felt like, man, I am just meant for more. I'm not really sure how to get there. Then I promise you right now, like Emily is your girl. So enjoy this episode. I am literally probably her number one fan. So enjoy the episode, my friends. I'm so excited, all seriously, to bring Emily Williams onto the show. I was telling Emily before we started that she is the reason that I got in business 10 years ago, which is wild to say I've been in her orbit that long. She's the first woman I ever saw running a business online and doing it successfully and doing it really well. And so when I was thinking about just this audience and what you guys, what I hear in the DMs and stuff, I was like, Emily's so perfect because she if you don't follow her on social media, you should because her and her husband seem pretty obsessed with each other. And they've been married for a hot minute. You guys have moved like across the country, like you guys have done a lot together. And so I was like, if anybody knows anything about what it's like to be a woman in business, but then have a like thriving marriage, it would be Emily. So just thank you for being here, my friend. Oh, thank you. I'm excited. I am so excited. Do you mind just giving us like a quick little background story, kind of on you, even how you met James, all that kind of?

SPEAKER_00 2:28

Yeah, totally. Yeah. So I'm from Ohio in the US originally, and I was all set to go to grad school at Northwestern in Chicago when I was, you know, 22 or so back in 2008. And I had this feeling as I was driving there that it wasn't the right decision. And so I literally turned the car around, went back to Ohio, moved in with my parents, ended up working at Starbucks for a bit, and was essentially in a full-blown quarter life crisis. And during that time, I had this feeling like I was meant to live in London, England. And it was super random. I had only visited there once, had this instinct that I needed to be going in a different direction. So I basically did everything I could to apply for programs over there. I ended up getting into a master's in nonfiction writing program because I wanted to write a book. So I moved to the UK at age 25 or so and kind of kicked off my life and just dove into life in England. And during that time, I thought, you know, everything would shift once I got to a new place. But really, my quarter life crisis followed me across the pond. And I was super unhappy. I honestly didn't know how to be happy and actually decided to hire a happiness coach. And she was the first person who really taught me about mindset and personal development and that your thoughts can become things. And it was just such an eye-opening experience. And it led me down the coaching path, which I'll talk about in a second, after that. And during that same time, I found it really challenging to make girlfriends. And so I just decided to throw myself into the world of online dating. And so I ended up meeting my husband about a year after moving to the UK online on a cheesy dating site. And we got married, or we got engaged rather about six months after that, very quickly. And so we've been married for nearly 13 years now. So that's a little bit about, you know, my journey in the UK. And around 2014 or so is when I started my business, I Heart My Life. And that really stemmed from my own quarter life crisis and again, not knowing how to be happy and starting to put some of the practices in place that I learned from my own coach and mentor and seeing big shifts in my life, like manifesting my husband, starting to see financial shifts, getting more clarity around my purpose. And so I really just felt inspired to help other women live their best life. And, you know, I had people all the time telling me, like, it's crazy that you moved into another country, and I can't believe you did that. And so I started to see that like the way I did life wasn't really the norm. And so I thought, let's create a brand around that. And I really had no idea what I was doing, but it's lasted. We're in 2025, so it's lasted a while. And yeah, that's really the beginning. That's kind of the origin story of everything. I love it.

SPEAKER_01 5:13

I was in like iHeart branding. I did all of the things like early on when I was starting my business because I liked what you were doing. And I think we're similar in that way. Like my best friend and I we were just talking about this. Nobody believes me when I'm like, oh, I'm just gonna move, and then I do 10 days later. So I ended up in Savannah, Georgia. I was like, I'm just moving, and nobody thought I was real, and then I did. And then met my husband, we got married three months later, which is really insane. But so you were running your business when you met James then.

SPEAKER_00 5:41

I was actually working for a matchmaking company. So I did like a bunch of random stuff. When I first got to the UK, I was a nanny, then I was an assistant, then I worked as a matchmaker. So yeah, something completely different. And I mean, he always knew I was super driven, so it wasn't necessarily a surprise. And I come from a long line of entrepreneurs, but definitely, I mean, I'm a completely different person from the woman he married in many ways.

SPEAKER_01 6:05

I was gonna say, I mean, I know my husband says that all the time, like, I'm not the same person he married almost a decade ago at all just because of the way business transforms you and the minds at work and personal development and all those kind of fun things. I would love to know kind of like maybe how you guys handle that. Because you do run a very successful brand. It's very like well known and stuff like that. And so I hear from women all the time that my husband feels emasculated by my business or he doesn't understand what it's like to run a business and they're struggling kind of in that.

SPEAKER_00 6:35

Yeah. So my scenario is a little bit different. So a year or so after starting iHeart My Life, because it took off so quickly, my husband was able to leave his job. So for 12 years, he worked at Sky, Sky News Network in the UK. And he was in graphic design and visual effects, and so very different in terms of his industry. But he kind of caught the coaching bug from me and he got certified in 2015 through Brendan Burchard's certified high performance coaching program. And so we were kind of blessed in the sense that we were interested and still are in the same things. And so our work really, it just went really well together. And so, even in the first round of iHeart Coaching, which was my signature program for coaching students or sorry, women who want to have coaching businesses, he did like the hot seat sessions. And so he was our guest expert coach, essentially. And so our work really, it just worked really well together and it still does in many ways. He never once has said that he's felt emasculated by my work. I mean, he's always somebody who's been my number one fan and my biggest cheerleader. I would say that the main difference between us is I am, I'll just give you a tangible example. We were in the UK a few weeks ago and it was around my 40th birthday. And so I woke up one morning and I was like, you know, I'm just thinking about my legacy work. And he's it's 5 30 in the morning. Who thinks about their legacy work at 5 30 in the morning? And I'm like, I do. And, you know, so there's like an intensity that I have just because of my personality and because I have a really big mission in the world. And he absolutely loves what he does. He is a coach, like that's at his core, he's a coach and he's obsessed with it. But for me, I have such a big, like a movement mission. And so it's a lot grander in many ways. And so I think, you know, if I had to live with myself, I think that'd be very challenging. It's not easy to be married to somebody who has such a big vision and who has such tunnel vision. And I know that I'm I'm getting a little bit off track. But, you know, for me, my growth edge, so to speak, is learning how to be more present because I am really focused on the relationship or sorry, on my business. And sometimes the relationship comes second. And so I've really had to learn how to shift that because obviously my husband means the world to me. But when you're so driven and so focused on that purpose, it's easy to be like, okay, my relationship is good. So I'm just gonna throw everything into the business and the growth that I want to see there.

SPEAKER_01 9:00

Oh, okay. I love that you talked about kind of the shift because I'm the same way. I'm like, I get tunnel vision, I get so excited, I'm like pouring everything in. My husband, I think, is similar to yours. And like he gets mad if I don't take opportunity. I don't even understand why you're calling to ask me about it. He's super I'm very blessed. I feel very fortunate that's the way he is because it's probably not easy to be married to me when I get tunnel vision, or I'm thinking about legacy work that's been like a hot topic in our household lately, too. And yeah, it I'm wondering if you feel like you're at like getting by into the vision. Cause I feel like you're good at vision casting. I feel like that's like talking about what you're doing and what the result of that will be and the impact it's going to have. Do you guys like have that conversation a lot, what the vision is, and yeah, kind of like family buy-in for the vision?

SPEAKER_00 9:47

So again, we're a little bit different. So the answer is no. And the reason I say that is, you know, we I threw a party for somebody back in 2020. It was a good friend, and when we were living in Santa Barbara. And because my husband is also in the coaching space, he came later on and was a part of that luncheon. And we were all sitting around the table just talking about our big mission and our purpose, et cetera. And I hadn't shared yet, I'm getting emotional talking about it because it was a really special moment. I hadn't yet shared what my vision was because some of the ladies didn't know me and didn't know, you know, the backstory and everything that I was about. And essentially when my husband arrived, it was my turn to share. And I asked him, you know, what is your version of what my vision is? And he nailed it like so much more than I could have ever, you know, expressed. And so that for me was such a reminder of like how he truly sees me and how he sees so much more than other people see and how he can actually like see the vision. And so I think one of the reasons for that is because we do talk about stuff all the time. We do talk about my business, we talk about clients, posted events together. We've done all these things. We're literally, you know, together 24-7. And so there's no secrets. You know, even recently, a family member wanted to have a private conversation with me about something. And I said, you know, just so you know, like that I will tell my husband about this. There's not going to be any sort of secrets. And so across the board for us, like it's always very open communication. Me always sharing ideas and struggles and challenges. And so we're very much like in tune with each other, and we know exactly we like we really see each other.

SPEAKER_01 11:22

I love that. That is something I love that you brought up the open communication. That is something I see a lot is women saying, like, their husband doesn't care, they don't communicate, they don't share those things. I'm like, I tell my husband everything. Everybody knows that I'm the same way. I'm like, if you tell me something, just assume my husband probably already knows because I'm gonna tell him always like we're in a constant conversation between him and I about everything that I'm thinking, feeling, and vice versa. Like he's sharing that with me. I love that you got to have that experience where he shared your vision and it was almost like better than you could articulate it. Like that just is such a testament to what happens when you're openly communicating and you are partners. Like, I think you guys are true partners, like in the sense of what a partnership looks like financially, business-wise, like in every single sense of the word. And I just think that it's a really beautiful experience. I would love to know how you guys like how do you separate it? Do you ever feel like you're I mean, I'm the same way though. I'll tell my husband, like, oh, I'm thinking about this thing at five in the morning, and he's what are you doing? Do you guys do you have a separation between the two, or do you feel like it's just woven into every piece of you guys?

SPEAKER_00 12:32

So I think we're very open about when we need to have a separation. So there are times where, you know, when he like has his own interests where he'll go down some, you know, rabbit hole about something in health and wellness, or you know, whatever the things that he are, what the things are that he loves, he'll talk about it. And there are times where like it's really intense, and I'm like, you know what, can we kind of table that and can you tell me that tomorrow? You know, when I have when it's a bit fresher for me. And same, you know, vice versa, if there's something where I'm talking about work or I'm talking about something that feels like it's a bit overwhelming, then we'll just be open and honest with each other that now's not the right time. Or one of the things we learned from a relationship coach that we worked with was when to put on your wife hat versus, you know, your business partner hat and how to shift those sort of personas. And I'm pretty good at understanding and reading the room, so to speak, and knowing when to wear which hat. But sometimes I'll even ask him and just say, What do you need for me as your wife right now? And so we've just always tried to be not always, but at least in the last few years or so, really tried to be open and honest about communication and what we need and not make each other wrong and just be in full acceptance about the people who we are at our core. Because I think it's challenging when you try and change somebody and obviously they don't want to change. And so we've never come at this saying, like, I want to change you. That's never been part of the scenario in our relationship. It's just trying to be in more acceptance of one another and who we really are. And, you know, although we have changed over the last 12 or so years, like at our core, we're the same people in terms of our values and what we really want for our life. And so just always coming back to that as well.

SPEAKER_01 14:16

I love that. Do you is there like a difference? Because I like that you brought this up, the wife hat versus the business owner hat versus like even the mom hat, you know, we have to as women, I think we play a lot of roles. And so is there like a difference maybe in like how you and James interact when you like when it's the wife hat versus like the business owner hat? Because I heard my life was your baby. So is there a difference like in you in your dynamic when you're like switching personas or are you guys pretty much the same throughout?

SPEAKER_00 14:46

I mean, I think for me it's about being softer when I have the wife hat on and being more loving. And you know, I'm a very direct person, and you know, many people will tell me that I'm very intense, but I'm also like can be very goofy and have fun, obviously. And so just knowing like when to be a bit softer and more loving. And I'm not a naturally affectionate person, but I know that's my husband's love language, just tuning into that and just like showing him love and appreciation through the way that he receives it and just being more conscious of that because I just I do think, especially when you're ambitious and you're driven, there is like a hard sort of an energy and like a more masculine energy. And so just shifting into more of the feminine softness.

SPEAKER_01 15:28

I love that. Yes, I'm the same way. I could be super masculine when I'm running my business and everything, and then speaking with my husband, I have to intentionally get back into a feminine and because I'm not a super touchy person or affectionate and stuff. I had to really learn how to do that with my husband. I think our husbands are probably the same. He's very achieving, but that's how he receives it was a learning process. I think it's a learning process for a lot of the women who listen or watch the show. They struggle in the same department. Is it like, was it hard for you to make that switch or like how do you switch?

SPEAKER_00 15:59

Yeah, I think it's just a consciousness and it's understanding that you know you want your partner to experience love. And it's even the same thing. So my husband works with this multi-million dollar company and he supports their team in many ways as a coach. And so he has even brought in the love languages exercises and framework with teams because if you don't know how your team receives praise or what makes them feel valued, then you could be praising them and showing them respect and kindness and love in ways that they don't resonate with. And so it doesn't land and it just, you know, goes completely over their head, but it doesn't make as much of an impact. And so it's the same thing in your relationship. If you understand, and it sounds really simple, but it truly is if you understand what means the most to your partner or to your spouse, then obviously if you love them and you want your relationship to be healthy, it will be in your best interest to make effort in that area. And so for me, one of my ways that I receive love is through words. So my natural tendency is gonna be to praise my husband verbally, but now I know that's not actually gonna land. I'll still say nice things to him, but you know, I know that affection and spending time with him, like uninterrupted time, goes a lot further. And so I'll make a conscious effort to do that and just be aware. And I think so often because we are so busy and like we talked about already, have we have so many cats and so many balls in the air, it can be very distracting and awareness isn't necessarily something that we're focused on. But I know that like my husband makes a lot of effort to speak my love language, and so I want to reciprocate that.

SPEAKER_01 17:36

I love that so much. Okay, I want to talk a little bit about the work that you do because I do think that it's deeply impactful for couples. Like my phone background is like one of your affirmations and my laptop background. I know that's I feel like such a weirdo when I say that. I'm like, No, that's so amazing. Unlike I love it.

SPEAKER_00 17:54

Cause you never know. I have testimonials and all of that, but you don't always hear the impact that you have, especially in such an extended period of time. So I appreciate you sharing that.

SPEAKER_01 18:03

Yeah, of course. I think I did like Hi Heart Money back when you ran it live. That was a while. Like the first iteration of it live, and I still got all the old calls, all the old fun stuff. But it has been super impactful. It's stuff I still bring into my marriage. It's still I go back through actually like version one probably twice a year. Like I just go back through it because you're always in a different place and then bringing that back to my relationship. And so I'd love to talk about like kind of the work you do and then how like it is impacting not just the women who are taking it, but then like their like how you see it benefiting their relationship.

SPEAKER_00 18:38

Yeah, that's been super interesting because even when my husband and I were in iHeart coaching together, we heard from different clients that the work they were doing in that program impacted their spouse. And I know that sounds kind of obvious, but it's not something we ever set out to achieve, so to speak. But I definitely hear that, especially with the money work. That is, I mean, it's kind of, I'll be honest, like it's in it's two different camps. I do have a lot of people tell me that their relationships end after doing my work. And I want to bring that to the surface because that is a real issue that I see when people start to dive into the world of personal development or professional development, they start to transform and their spouse or their partner doesn't follow the same path. And it doesn't mean that they need to be right there with you doing everything exactly the same or having the same speed at which you transform. But if there's not a level of interest in transformation, then it's very challenging to stay in a relationship like that because you constantly feel weighed down, you feel judged by the other person, you just feel like you're not on the same page, maybe your values have shifted. And so, luckily, that's one of the things that has always remained the same for myself and my husband is that we're very growth-oriented. And so it's just powerful. And even if I'm doing different work or working with a different coach than him, like I'll bring it to our conversations and he's always interested, and vice versa. But I know a lot of people don't have that. And so it can be challenging to stay in a relationship like that. There's that sort of level of impact in my work. Sometimes people start doing, especially the money work, which can be very triggering. They start doing that work and then realize, oh my gosh, I don't want the same life as my husband wants, and he's not willing to even get on board with this. He's not willing to support my vision. I know that you have a lot of listeners who may be in that space where it's a very challenging relationship. But I'm not saying go and end it, but I have seen that, you know, in many cases over the last few years. And then on the flip side, there are people where they go through the money mindset work, their spouse is super interested and maybe isn't on board at first, but starts to see their transformation and their results. And then is okay, what is this? And they get involved. I do the course with them, or I've had, you know, people read my book together or listen to the podcast. And so it is really amazing when both people are really growth-oriented and willing to look at life in a different way. And I really find that's one of the keys to that lasting relationship and lasting marriage. And again, it's not always something that happens immediately. Some clients, it takes their spouse a few years or a few months to get on board. And once they see wife transforming, then things start to shift. But yeah, it's super interesting to see, you know, how everything transforms relationships in one way or another.

SPEAKER_01 21:21

Yeah. And you have a lot of ways that you do transformation. So you want to talk about kind of what you have going right now. And I'm just gonna tell you guys like 20 out of 10 recommend whatever Emily top, you guys should do it. I'm just gonna say because she does go all in on what she does, and it is very transformational.

SPEAKER_00 21:37

Yeah, so you mentioned the iHeartMoney program. It's interesting because we've relaunched that. It's now iHeartMoney 2.0, and that came to be because three years ago I lost$250,000 when I was newly pregnant, and my husband and I just purchased our first house. We just moved to a new city, we got all the furniture, et cetera. I had just taken out business loans to grow my business, and so it Like this perfect storm, you know, for a good year or so. And even now we're coming through it was one of the most challenging experiences for both of us for sure. And I realized as I was coming out with the iHeartMoney certification that I wanted to go deeper back into iHeartMoney and really look at, you know, what it was at its core and also where I wanted to infuse what I've been learning over the last three years into that program because I'm not the same person that created it back in 2016. And all of the ups and downs have really given me a new level of understanding of money mindset work and recognition that it's not just the mindset piece that creates massive financial change. It's really a new wealth identity, you know, going even deeper than what that original course provides. And so I decided to create iHeartMoney 2.0. And that is kind of the structure or excuse me, the framework for the certification as well. And so I'm really passionate about not only transforming their mindset, but really transforming who they are at their core. Because, you know, you know, as well as I do, I've worked with a lot of newbies. I've worked with a lot of people just starting out, and this work is powerful for them, but also people who are already successful. I mean, I see multimillionaires who are completely unhappy. I see people who, you know, they think from the outside it looks like they've created a life of freedom, but really they're just on this hamster wheel. And, you know, I had someone tell me recently like she has employed all of her family, and now she feels like she can't take her foot off the gas and everyone's taking advantage of her and there's no boundaries. And, you know, there's a lot that comes up even as you make more money. And so I've really been looking at the survival archetypes and some of the ways in which we keep ourselves stuck and in survival, even when we've created a lot of money, which is essentially what I found out I was doing and was one of the causes of me losing all of that money. And long story short, I've infused a lot of what I've learned over the last three years in my own journey into this new version of the program. So we have that. And then we have a membership where anyone who signs up for the courses, or even if you don't, you can come in and work with me monthly. So I do a monthly call and I also release a new monthly training. It's what we call the monthly drop because it's essentially to help you stay in alignment with your desires. Desire-led living is a big passion of mine. People tapping into their intuition. I really feel like that is how we live our fully expressed life and the life we were born here to experience through the membership. And then I have another course called the I Heart My Life Method, which is all about desire-led living. And we have the certification. So those are really the main things that we have under I Heart My Life.

SPEAKER_01 24:32

I love this desire-led living. That is what I have done. And it's almost funny, too, that you brought up the divorce thing. That's how I ended up divorced. Please, because I was doing a lot of work. And I mean, we had a lot of other issues besides the informational work that I did. But it was something he said right before I filed for divorce. He said, I think our biggest problem is that I've stayed the same person and you're continuing to grow and we're not aligned. And I was like, very interesting. Where my husband now is like obsessed. He's like, You should go do learn. Like, I'm gonna go do and learn, and we're gonna bring it back and we're gonna, I mean, that's all we talk about, which is cool because we see it now in our kids. Our kids are like constantly having deep conversations with this person, or they're learning this. I'm like, this is great. I know yours are much younger than mine. Mine are 12 and 14. So I know yours are younger than mine, but it's cool to see how because that's what's been modeled for them from my husband and I like that's what they do.

SPEAKER_00 25:26

Yeah, I mean, same with my daughter. Like, she we went to the UK and we had to visit an ill relative, and she's in a care home, and she was all excited to see her. And then when we got there, like the house itself was not what she expected, and so she freaked out and she kept saying, you know, I want to go to the grass because she knows grass is grounding and she's two and a half years old and innately knows this. And you know, she'll tell us, like, I feel sad, maybe it's because I'm tired and like stuff like that, which is so insightful. But she has two coaches for parents, so you know, it's no surprise. I love that.

SPEAKER_01 25:58

What a different world this could be. And I think that goes back to the legacy conversation. Look at the legacy, not just in the work you're doing with clients who are paying you, but like now your daughter is doing this and will grow up. I mean, probably vastly different than you did or your husband did. Like my parents weren't coaches. This was not normal for me. And yeah, so the kids are doing the same thing, and what a beautiful legacy to be leaving it behind. And it's why I think this work is super important, especially as a couple, to do just because it's not just about you, but it is about the legacy that you're sewing and the people you're interacting with and what you're bringing to your clients and then the future in your community, all these beautiful things that are impacted by you changing and you growing.

SPEAKER_00 26:40

For sure. Yeah, and I think people forget that this is really generational. And a lot of the stories and beliefs and limitations that we currently have that's passed down through generations of programming. And, you know, you're not only just experiencing your spouse, but you're experiencing their parents and their grandparents and so on and so forth. And so it can be challenging. And I don't take this work lightly, like I know that it's very deep work, and oftentimes it's why people don't want to work with me. I've had top people tell me that they're scared to do desire work because they think it's gonna be like they're gonna have to throw everything out and start over and burn it all down. And I'm like, I'd much rather you do that and be happy than stay in a life that doesn't excite you for the next 20, 30, 50 years. That sounds way worse to me, but it's just interesting. You know, it is very deep work and not everyone's willing to do it.

SPEAKER_01 27:31

I love that you said like you would rather somebody burn it down. I just had this conversation with somebody the other day. I would rather you burn it to the ground, start over from scratch and actually enjoy your life. You know, we're not even 40 yet. You can start over and it is okay, and there's their judgment when you do that. And so I just love this desire led living. So you cover that in the I Aren't My Life method.

SPEAKER_00 27:54

Yeah, we do. And I'm actually, I haven't shared this, but I'm actually launching a new program called Life by Desire because that's really how I live my life is through intuition and desire. And yes, you need some more masculine things in business, and I get that, but truly all my best decisions have been heart led and you probably couldn't explain them and I didn't know what I was doing half the time, but I really feel like that's what leads us to our fully expressed life. So that's coming up in the pipeline as well. Okay.

SPEAKER_01 28:21

I will, I promise y'all, I will update the show notes when it drops because I get Emily's email, so I know what she's got going on. I will update the show notes when that comes out because I think you guys would like it. I'll just say that. And she always puts out really good stuff. You need to go get into Emily's orbit because I think you guys seriously will just love the work that she is doing and it really is deeply transformational. You know, for anybody listening, the house I'm in is not the house I normally record in. I'm sitting in a beautiful beachfront, like eight million custom built home that my best friend's father-in-law built. And I was like, Oh, this is the perfect place to do this with Emily talking about desire-led living. I would not change a single thing about this house. And my husband he asked me for a video tour when I got here. He was like, Yeah, let's take it. Now we're going to making eight million dollars happen today. I don't know. It really, but it all feels possible because of the work that you've done and the just what you've been willing to share and the vulnerability and all of those things that you've been willing to share. It's had an impact in our relationship. And so I'm just gonna encourage everybody to go get into our work because it will change your relationship if you let it. So thank you. Yeah, of course. I so appreciate you if what if somebody was listening and they're like, I okay, like how do I start doing this, or how do I even have this conversation with my spouse? What's like a final piece of advice that you would maybe give them?

SPEAKER_00 29:36

I think it all comes down to honesty and being honest about what you really desire for your life. And if it's a beautiful relationship, then there may be and probably will be some uncomfortable conversations that need to be had, or you sharing your truth in a way that you haven't yet shared, or your spouse being honest about what they want and just having some really open lines of communication. I really think like honesty is everything, being honest about what you want for your business or your career, what you want financially. Because if you're not even willing to admit what you want, it's very hard, basically impossible to actually get it. And so I think that's really the starting point for everything. I love that.

SPEAKER_01 30:16

That was something my husband said when we first started dating. He said we're gonna practice radical honesty. And it took me a long time to get because I was like, I've never had that, right? Like where we're just gonna lay our soul completely bare to each other and what we do. And now, I mean, it's incredible. And so I definitely credit him because that was the very first thing my husband said was a non-negotiable for him and our relationship when we first met. That's amazing. I'm very fortunate. I think it helps I married somebody seven years older than me too. So he came, you know, much smarter than I was when we first got married. So yeah, okay. See, so we are yeah, we're one and the same. That's Emily. I so appreciate you being here and just doing this. I have just I've loved watching you and just watching how your life is transformed and all these beautiful things that have happened for you because of the honesty and just the way that you and James do interact. And because I've been on calls with you guys together and I've seen your dynamic in real time and things. So I just deeply appreciate you being here and sharing today. Oh, thank you for having me. I really appreciate you as well. All right, where can everybody go find you and connect and all of the fun things?

SPEAKER_00 31:23

SPEAKER_01 31:31
