Mindset

Hi, I'm Emily Williams, coach, podcast host & champion of your big dreams. I'm so glad that you're here.

Wondering how to transform your life and get closer to your vision and desires?

Today, I’m teaching on that very topic and showing you how to get everything you want through this powerful interview.

It’s not every day that I get interviewed, but today, that’s going to change… Because today, I will be the guest!

Yep, we’re turning the tables (on me) and I’m going to get all candid with my brilliant interviewer, the amazing friend Vasavi Kumar.

“When you start to practice following your heart and stepping outside of the rational mind that’s trying to hold you back, you develop trust muscles with yourself.” – Emily Williams

Woop woop! (Yes, as you can see, I am veeeery excited).

You see, I wanted to change things up a bit. And I thought, what better way to do so than to sit in someone else’s chair for once?

We talked about sooo much interesting stuff to help you transform your life, and I thought it would be a shame not to share it with all of you.

I cover topics like…

  • my top mindset practices
  • how to transform your thoughts to create more success
  • how I live my life based on my desires (and how you can too)

All right, let’s dive in and talk about how to transform your life!

In This Episode:

  • [00:00] Introduction
  • [00:41] It’s time to change things up a bit!
  • [02:19] How I went from being rejected from Starbucks (I know, crazy, right?!) to where I am now
  • [07:58] Why I couldn’t NOT follow my heart
  • [13:26] Here’s why it’s important to admit your desires to yourself
  • [22:46] It’s time to realize the power of your words
  • [33:17] Let’s talk about motherhood
  • [39:12] What it’s like to be a recovering people pleaser and why you should say “no” more often

Quotes:

“When you start to practice following your heart and stepping outside of the rational mind that’s trying to hold you back, you develop trust muscles with yourself.” – Emily Williams

“I definitely was always somebody who felt like she was meant for something big, but I didn’t know what that thing actually was. But it was always that little whisper and intuition that there was something more for me and something different.” – Emily Williams

“I saw the entrepreneurs in my family have big dreams and do things that were a little bit different. But I definitely took it to a whole nother level. After my quarter life crisis, I felt like I was meant to live in London, England. And for somebody who grew up in Ohio with a family that really never leaves Ohio, that was very strange. And that was definitely one of those moments where I did get some pushback, even from friends.” – Emily Williams

“I didn’t know any other way to live my life besides doing the things that I love.” – Emily Williams

“There’s this beautiful quote by Raymond Holliwell, and he talks about how following your desires is basically stepping into your fully expressed life, the fullest expression of you. And so I believe that when I continue to trust my heart, that’s me being fully expressed.” – Emily Williams

“Everything [you desire], big or small, just get it down on paper. Because the issue is most people can’t even admit what they want to themselves.” – Emily Williams

The LATEST

Welcome to the IHML Blog, brought to you by Emily Williams. (I had a Tumblr blog back in the day, but this is way cooler.)

Behind the Brand

Emily Williams

I know what it's like to look around and realize you're not living the life you truly desire. To feel the pull for more — and not know how to bridge the gap between who you are and who you're meant to become.

I've built, lost, and rebuilt. I've made bold moves when the safe choice was right there waiting. And I've learned that the women who actually get the life they want don't just work harder — they think differently, lead with desire, and refuse to settle for a life by default.

That's what I teach. And it works.
