In this heartfelt, hilarious, and wisdom-filled episode, Emma returns to the mic after a short break to kick off summer vacation with side-eyes, real talk, and her signature honesty.
Together, we explore joy in its simplest form, the power of being seen and celebrated, and what it looks like to grow in truth-telling, even when it’s messy. Emma drops the mic with a line that will stick with you all week: “Don’t. Be. A. Robot.”
This conversation invites you to slow down, tune in, and honor what it means to be fully human.

Curiosity Cards
- Now that I’m on summer break, what’s one thing I’m really hoping that I can do during these next couple weeks?
- Some people tell Mommy that I’m “wise.” But I wonder...what’s one thing I hope people remember about me that has nothing to do with being smart or perfect?
- If someone asked me, “Hey, what’s your podcast really about?,” what would I tell them?
