In this episode, I share a wake-up moment from our team gratitude call in December of 2025 that reminded me I needed to practice what I preach and share my story louder!I dive into my journey: struggling to do it all on my own, wanting success more for others than for myself, and feeling the frustration when my income dipped but my hustle didn’t. Watching others pause, embrace their humanity, and share what they love inspired me to make a change.Through leaning into prayer — yes, the cupboard prayer — and letting go, I experienced a breakthrough: hitting a leadership level that seemed impossible while actually resting on the weekends! This wasn’t luck — it was the power of consistent faith and letting third-party credibility help paint the vision.Now, I’m on a mission to help others see that consistency, faith, and sharing their story can transform both their business and their life — all while keeping God at the center.Tune in for encouragement, practical insight, and a reminder that rest + faith can truly move the needle.And, after today's homework, you'll need extra encouragement from Episode 43.

Have you ever felt the heavy weight of perfectionism—the endless striving, the fear of failure, and the shame that lingers when you fall short? In this conversation with my girl Lenee, we dive deep into God’s heart for us and how His grace frees us from performance-based living. Together, we share stories of how perfectionism crept into our faith, families, and businesses—and the powerful truth that God never asked us to carry that burden. If you’ve ever struggled to “do it all” or to feel “good enough,” this episode will remind you of the freedom found in Christ and His unconditional love.✨ Let's Keep in Touch: The Wholehearted Health with Emily website Our Free Facebook CommunityFollow Emily on Instagram here💡 Connect with Lenee Here Hosted on Acast.

In today’s episode, I sit down with my friend Julie—a woman who embodies courage, discipline, and what’s possible when you trust the process and refuse to quit.Julie paid off her truck - 48 additional payments made in 6 months - faster than she ever imagined, walked away from teaching, and stepped into a lifestyle that gives her time, flexibility, and freedom. She's a busy, fit grandma and wife to an amazing supportive husband! We talk about what it really looked like behind the scenes, the mindset shifts that changed everything, and how saying “yes” to an opportunity opened doors she didn’t even know existed. We also share stories from our incentive trips, the adventures we’ve had, and why we’re so passionate about partnering together for events across our state. This episode is all about women supporting women, choosing growth over comfort, and creating a life that feels aligned.

If you’ve ever felt stuck in the cycle of work, routines, appointments, responsibilities, repeat — this episode is your reminder that life can be different.Joe and I just took our longest vacation ever… and it completely shifted how we see time, adventure, and what we actually want our life to look like! We never expected this feeling; we thought we'd be "ready to come home" like usual on vacation after a few days. From seeing sloths up close (I wanted to snuggle them and bring them home 😂), to driving a golf cart straight onto the beach, to conversations with people that we’ll never forget… this trip showed us what slowing down really feels like.And then we stepped into the incentive trip we earned — a luxury Secrets experience we never would’ve booked on our own but now get to enjoy every single year because we said YES to an opportunity to simply be cheerleaders for each other and our world.If you’re craving more freedom, more fun, more memories, and a life that doesn’t leave you exhausted… this episode might spark something you didn’t know you needed! PS- thanks to my friend Vikki for the SWEETEST gift, these sunglasses!  Visit episode 50 for a great story about incentive trips, and episode 54 to learn how we afford vacations!

In this episode, I’m sharing how goal setting for 2026 looks completely different for me — and how my favorite planner truly transformed the way I approach it.I don’t set “goals” anymore. Instead, I set an intention and write a motivating letter to myself that keeps me focused on purpose instead of pressure. This mindset shift has helped me feel excited about what’s ahead rather than viewing it as another task to check off.If you’re ready to start the new year with faith, clarity, and a renewed heart for what God has in store — this one’s for you.🎧 Watch the pencil tip episode on YouTube here: https://youtu.be/k8zkjNfMU0U🪷 Shop my favorite planner (and grab your discount link here!): https://bloomplanners.refr.cc/default/u/emilyschwartz?s=sp&t=cp🌿Follow our Instagram and Facebook pages ✨ Visit our *new* website hereLet’s start 2026 with intention, not obligation — and celebrate the goodness and favor God is already preparing for your year ahead!

In this episode, I sit down with my dear friend Alicia, a woman whose story will leave you inspired and encouraged. Alicia and I met through our health and wellness company a few years ago, and every time I get to spend time with her, I’m reminded of her courage, her strength, and her heart.She’s a mom who made the decision not to repeat the same health struggles her parents faced. Alicia has lost over 100 pounds and continues to prioritize fueling her family with nutritious foods, showing her kids what it looks like to live with purpose and discipline.But her story isn’t just about weight loss. Alicia has walked through deep pain — including addiction, loss within her family, and the heartbreak of not always being shown love and tenderness. Yet instead of hiding her struggles, she’s chosen to bring them into the light to inspire others.In our conversation, Alicia opens up about her journey, her faith, and her passion for helping others see that transformation is possible no matter where you start. I pray this helps you bring your darkness into the light! Let's Stay Connected:Visit Our WebsiteThe Wholehearted Health with Emily Facebook Community Follow Our Instagram Page Hosted on Acast.

In this heartfelt (and joy-filled!) episode, Emily sits down with her "sister" Jessica — a woman who said yes to the same wellness business, not knowing it would lead to lifelong friendship, deeper faith, and a completely transformed future for both of their families.Though they live states apart, Emily and Jessica are the kind of friends who voice memo about prayer requests one minute and business goals the next — and then break into karaoke at retreats like no time has passed. Jessica opens up about how she went from full-time teacher to full-time mama of four, creating a life of travel, faith, and flexibility with her husband Lantz.Together, they share how their friendship was forged through shared dreams, growing in their faith, and walking through the adoption journey — and how Jessica’s own story helped support Emily and Joe as they stepped into theirs. From big life decisions to tears, this conversation is a reminder that when God leads you to say yes, He’s often opening more doors than you could ever imagine.If you’ve ever longed for deep friendship, freedom, or confirmation that your yes could lead to something beautiful, this episode is your sign.Let's Stay Connected:https://www.wholeheartedhealthwithemily.com/The Wholehearted Health with Emily Facebook Community Emily on Instagram Hosted on Acast.
