The WINK Podcast

It's DAY 50 of The 100 Day Project 2020, so I thought I'd walk you through what the daily chalk drawings you've seen all over my social media are about! In this episode, I'll fill you in on all the details of the Project and dive into some unexpected takeaways I've gained from participating.

Pivot, pivot… PIVOT! Ross* was saying it before it was cool, back when we could hug and go to movies. With all the recent pivoting going on with the world (and on a much smaller scale, me), I wanted to create this episode about the three perspective-shifters I'm using to turn negatives to positives!

Today’s Power Up episode features a quote from the book “Option B,” written by Sheryl Sandberg and Adam Grant. This book is incredible - a blend of storytelling and research, based around resilience, adversity, and joy. I haven’t finished it yet, but I’ve been incredibly moved by the stories shared. I’ll share the link to the book here: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01N8R5QD7/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_7SL8DbS5DTPYV

In this episode, I quote Brendon Burchard: “At the core of congruence are questions about how we are really living our life, not just imagining it -- to feel more congruent, we will have to be more conscious about who we are and what kind of life we want to live. We will have to be conscious in crafting and maintaining our identity."

Here’s the link to Brendon Burchard’s book, “High Performance Habits:” ...

This episode features a mantra from Gay Hendricks’ book, “The Big Leap.” I finished the book this week and really like the way Gay presented the idea of a mantra as an anchor to thoughts and energy through the day. To make this practice of remembering my mantra very easy, I created a Phone Wallpaper for myself with the mantra in it. I’ll post it on my personal Instagram at http://www.instagram.com/TheDilemmasOfEmma an...

If you’re like me, you’re really good at remembering every awful thought, every negative act, every selfish move you’ve ever made. And I’m really good at taking those negatives and creating a false narrative about myself from them. BUT! Today’s Pep Talk episode dives into the flip side of this, thanks to a thought from Adam Grant on the most recent episode of the Armchair Expert Podcast (Ep. 16...

This episode features a quote from Gay Hendricks’ book, “The Big Leap.” I haven’t quite finished it yet, but it’s a fascinating study of the upper limits to our happiness, success and abundance. These self-imposed limits are often subconscious and I’ve really enjoyed exploring how they present themselves in my life. I’ve linked the book here: https://www.amazon.com/Big-Leap-Conquer-H...

Before being with Todd, I used to worry that our relationship wouldn’t work if we both didn’t want to do the same thing all the time. Or even worse, I would just feel like I was wrong - that going out and being social was the RIGHT thing to do and hanging out at home was the wrong thing.

But this is your reminder that if you’re stuck in a n...

Today’s Pep Talk comes to you from a gas station parking lot! If you’re feeling a little off your game, sidetracked from your routine, and beating yourself up about it... you’re normal! We’re in a weekend of other people impacting our routines, and that lack of control always makes me feel a little less than great. The good news is that you don’t have to stay that way. Enjoy yourself, make the memories, and remember that tomorrow i...

Today’s Power Up episode encourages you to allow your happiness, abundance and potential to flow, without feeling guilty or selfish. A perfect reminder as we enjoy our Thanksgiving dinner that embracing joy and striving to be our Best Self encourages our family and friends to do the same!
