Show Notes:

[6:10] - Emily shares her background and the 15 years she spent climbing a career ladder.

[8:25] - She went into marketing and consulting, but when Covid hit, she made a shift.

[10:51] - Emily describes a wake-up call that she got during a phone call with her dad.

[14:40] - It’s one thing to go from good to great. It’s another thing to go from great and the potential of even greater to leaving it behind for uncertainty.

[16:28] - At the start of her business, she felt regret and grief over the loss of her identity markers and “throwing it all away.”

[18:09] - Her ego was in rejection of what was occurring, but there was something in her that knew it was worth it. She kept going with no tangible evidence that it was working.

[19:35] - Emily took an opportunity for a lengthy interview process and realized that she couldn’t see it through.

[21:24] - There can be some programming that includes a lot of guilt and shame for entrepreneurs having a typical “real” job.

[25:06] - She truly followed her intuition. She physically felt her intuition telling her to keep going.

[27:14] - Entrepreneurship is pushing a boulder up a mountain for an extended period of time. But eventually you create momentum.

[30:22] - When she started on her entrepreneurship journey, she resisted anything that felt like marketing.

[32:32] - Entrepreneurship is shadow work like no other. It activates all your greatest doubts, insecurities, and fears.

[35:44] - The focus on money freaks a lot of entrepreneurs out and activates the fear that they aren’t doing enough.

[45:06] - Emily discusses the difference between the law of attraction and the law of action.

[47:43] - Entrepreneurship is not for everyone. It is inherently hard due to uncertainty and discomfort.

[52:10] - Marketing isn’t saying a million different things. It is saying the same thing a million different ways.

Jill gives a brief life update including a few lessons learned and then lists ten ways to know that you're actually healing. Many times, we chase being healed and forget that it's not a destination. It's a lifelong journey.

Don't forget, Jill is gearing up for an in-person retreat in September which is not just a gathering but a transformative experience where women are already starting to see shifts just by committing!
