I Heart My Life Show

Success found through fear does not equal fulfillment. For Jennifer Jayde, this sentiment marked a pivotal change in her life and her career. Jennifer, a former mortgage broker turned successful photographer and life and business coach, found herself in her mid-twenties having achieved everything that she believed would bring her happiness. She was married to a supportive husband, thriving in a well-paying career, and owned multiple properties… but something was missing. One day she received a call that literally turned her life upside down. A close family member was diagnosed with a terminal illness at a very young age and was going to be leaving behind two daughters. The feelings of unhappiness and doubt were already creeping in, and it was in this moment that she realized she needed to make a big change. Jennifer started pursuing her passion of photography and went all in. After winning multiple awards and traveling the world, she thought she’d finally found her path. But those overwhelming feelings of do

It has always been my goal to create a massive business. I knew I wanted to make a huge impact on the world and to serve as many women as I can. No matter if that holds true for you or if your goals are smaller, there are several things that I wish I had done just a bit sooner.  First, as the saying goes, when you market to everyone you market to no one. This is so true. I started off with myself as my ideal client, but from there I was trying to speak to every woman who wanted to start or build a business.  I learned quickly that you need to be very clear on who you want to help and what your goals are.  From there you need to figure out what you want to be known for.  What are you exceptional at? Is there something that you see or understand in a different way than other coaches in your niche?As an example, I quickly realized that women were coming to me to figure out their business strategy. Then we’d start working together and as I learned more about their story, we’d find that there w

It doesn’t matter what adversity you face, with will, drive, passion, and a deep understanding of your goals and passions, you will succeed… no matter what success means to you. There are few who embody this more than Leah Gervais, founder, and owner of Urban 20 Something. Leah has always had a strong view of her dreams. From an early age, she had a “vision board” in the form of a picture of the New York skyline. She made it! She got into NYU and was working her way to a steady career in law, but something felt off. Instead of accepting any of her law school entrance offers, she decided to take some time off and travel through Southeast Asia. It was then that she started a small blog chronicling her life and the times. Fast-forward a few years and she realized that she was playing small. She invested in I Heart Coaching and despite the loss of her father mere weeks before the program began, she went all in. She was present and engaged at every call and she implemented. The loss of her father spurred her on t

I don’t know if you know this, but I have been a big fan of Taylor Swift for a while. When her documentary came out on Netflix, I knew that I’d have to find some alone time to sit down, watch it, and absorb. That opportunity came while James and I were in London for his father’s birthday! As I was watching the documentary, it struck me that Taylor was being extremely vulnerable. She was sharing some huge personal moments, moments of growth, and reactions to powerful triggers. I was especially impressed by how she came out of the Twitter backlash that came from her run-ins with Kanye. I’m sitting there, listening to her talk about this huge moment of clarity, and realized that we ALL have hashtags that represent our fears. So, I created an exercise that I went through with my mastermind members and I want you to participate as well. What is the absolute worst thing that someone could say about you and turn it into a hashtag? It can be personal, business-related, family related… but it needs to represent that o

Attention Entrepreneurs: You’re not in this alone! Today I’ve brought my brand new (been with us for several months) Director of Operations, Megan Hansell Henderson, on to discuss what it means to accept help in your journey. Megan went from professional, to stay at home mom, to work at home mom because her fulfillment comes from more than traditional motherhood. FYI: there is nothing wrong with that. Despite the fact that her oldest needs an advanced level of care, she knew that she needed more to bring her a sense of fulfillment. Fast-forward to the past year. While she has her MBA she decided that she wanted to learn more about the online space. She obtained a certification in online operations and began living her dream. Now she’s decided that dream is centered on supporting her family and the I Heart My Life Movement. Here’s the thing, you don’t have to choose one over the other. Your success in business does not have to eclipse your success in family life. Listen in as Megan shares how she has found a

"Anything is possible.

I want to really support you with understanding how you can move forward with your own online business during this time. Brendon Burchard is someone who I've worked with previously, and he's the world's leading high-performance coach. He's an incredible New York Times bestselling author, has worked with Oprah, and he's a world-renowned marketer. He was talking about the fact that right now, it feels as if it did in 2008 when he realized very quickly he had a big opportunity to be a leader in the world and change lives. I feel very passionately that now, more than ever, we have that same opportunity. I know a lot of people are going into fear around what's next for them. I know people have already lost jobs. I know people have experienced pay cuts, and

“Get over yourself and make it happen. You don't need someone's permission for you to move forward with your business or whatever it is that you want to do in your life.” -Emily Williams   WORK WITH EMILY iheartmylifebooking.com E-mail: info@iheartmylife.com   DURING THIS EPISODE Are you ready for some real truth? If you're telling yourself that you want a business and you're not taking action on that business, it comes across as a little delusional. I wanted to record this episode to share my honest feedback on what's actually going on beneath the surface. It really confuses me when I hear people rattle off excuses for why they aren’t working on their businesses. I call BS. When you have a passion for something and when you are meant for something, you find a way to make it happen. You're telling yourself you want it, and yet beneath the surface, that's not the actual truth. So we're going to break that down today.   WHAT YOU’LL LEARN Why sacrifice doesn’t have to be negative The questions yo

“We have to truly trust ourselves and trust that regardless of what life throws at us, because it does throw some doozies, we are going to be fine. We are going to thrive. We are going to come back stronger than ever.” - Emily Williams   WORK WITH EMILY iheartmylifebooking.com E-mail: info@iheartmylife.com   DURING THIS EPISODE I'm recording this episode because of the number of questions I'm getting about the Coronavirus. People are asking me how to handle things happening in their life and business that are causing them to lose faith or go into fear, especially around money. I don't know what your situation is, but I know people are feeling stress around everything that's happening in the world right now. Operating from fear doesn't serve you. We're capable of handling what we're experiencing, and all of that challenge makes us stronger.

Challenges are actually setting you up for the next level, and so when they happen, it's actually a sign that you're being prepared for massive growth. -Emily Williams   WORK WITH EMILY iheartmylifebooking.com E-mail: info@iheartmylife.com   DURING THIS EPISODE In this listener Q&A, I’m sharing some of my most recent challenges, how I was able to move through them, and how I’ve learned to appreciate challenges while they are happening. I’m going to teach you how to shift your perspective on challenge ASAP. Challenges are one of my favorite topics, which is crazy for me to even say that out loud because that was never the case. In fact, I used to really shy away from them. I thought that I was doing something wrong. I remember when I started I Heart My Life, I felt like I was going to have this trajectory that just kept going up and up and up. Then someone finally explained to me that that's not actually how it actually works. I’m going to teach you how challenges will help you grow in this episo

Think about “what problem do you want to solve that has yet to be solved,” and that’s most likely your billion-dollar idea (as taken from Jaclyn Johnson quote) and inspiration from Jessica Simpson. -Emily Williams   WORK WITH EMILY iheartmylifebooking.com E-mail: info@iheartmylife.com   DURING THIS EPISODE Okay, I’ll be honest, I never expected to love Jessica Simpson’s book this much. Yes, I’m a HUGE admirer of her work and I fell in love with her back in the day when she opened for a 98 Degrees concert. I was an avid watcher of Newlyweds. I was sad (well, maybe more on the edge of devastated and confused) when she and Nick broke up. And you better believe I was so excited to meet her a few weeks ago at a conference and receive her book at a book signing, but I never expected to literally devour this book. This book is raw, open, real about what it took for her to create a life and a business she loves. She’s transparent about her body issues and everything she’s done to try to be a certain si

I had to get over my own BS and start calling myself out and taking totally different action, in large part, by relying on business coaches and other people who could hold the vision for me and help me take the steps to get toward it. -Valerie Del Grosso   WORK WITH EMILY iheartmylifebooking.com E-mail: info@iheartmylife.com   ABOUT VALERIE DEL GROSSO Valerie Del Grosso isn't your typical stuffy lawyer - she refuses to "over-lawyer" a problem or drag it out to earn fees.

Your desires are meant for you. They are possible for you. They are part of your DNA, and if your mind tries to tell you otherwise, tell it to “Shut Up.” It doesn't get to be in charge anymore. You are in charge. -Emily Williams   WORK WITH EMILY iheartmylifebooking.com E-mail: info@iheartmylife.com   DURING THIS EPISODE It's easier than ever before for you to get rich. And this is not a get rich quick scheme. Trust me, that's not what we're here to do. We are here to uncover what's stopping you from reaching the next level of wealth that you desire. And frankly, most people don't want to have this conversation. I imagine growing up, you had a number in mind that meant you would be successful. For me, I always wanted to hit that six-figure mark. I wanted to hit six figures before my 30th birthday because I had learned growing up that six figures equals successful. So in my mind, I thought I would have made it if I reached that milestone. I launched I Heart My Life in September 201 and made a whoppin

I'm all about action. And so I can set the vision, but if I never take the steps it takes to get to that vision, then I'm living a complacent life. And that's not how we're going to live bold, confident, and courageous lives. -Natalie Gingrich   WORK WITH EMILY iheartmylifebooking.com E-mail: info@iheartmylife.com   ABOUT OUR GUEST Natalie Gingrich is the founder and host of The Ops Authority.

What would happen if you operated with the belief that everything you desire is available for you and meant for you and possible for you… -Emily Williams   WORK WITH EMILY iheartmylifebooking.com E-mail: info@iheartmylife.com   DURING THIS EPISODE You might be surprised to know that I still have my own money “ahas,” even after six years of studying money mindset, being a money mindset expert, and truly living a life based on my desires every single day. Money is literally my favorite topic, and I've learned so much from working with incredible women around the world, especially women who are leveling up. I see their money blocks first and foremost, and I support them in moving through those blocks. Every single day I'm blown away by these women and what they're experiencing. They teach me so many lessons. Often what happens through those lessons is I have my own “aha.” I'm so excited to share this latest one with you today.   WHAT YOU’LL LEARN What happens when we allow money to rule our decis

At the end of the day, if you don't have the mindset pieces in place, you're not going to get there because you don't have the confidence.  -Courtney McClasky   WORK WITH EMILY iheartmylifebooking.com E-mail: info@iheartmylife.com   ABOUT OUR GUEST Courtney McClasky went from being a teacher with a coaching side hustle to creating an incredible real estate company that's actually due to do $100 million in sales in 2020 alone.

Everything starts with your mindset and believing that you are meant for something, that it's possible, and that you can do it. -Emily Williams   WORK WITH EMILY Get your free money mindset workbook at iheartmylife.com/moneymindset iheartmylifebooking.com E-mail: info@iheartmylife.com   DURING THIS EPISODE We're talking about your money mindset. You’re going to learn how your own personal money story is impacting the way that you think about money, talk about money, and the way money makes you feel. I never expected to be a money mindset expert, even though my dad claims that “money” was the first word I ever spoke. This episode is going to be a game-changer for you. We usually have our money story by the time we're about 10 years old. It's based on what we're told about money, what we see about money, and what we experience when it comes to money. We bring this money mindset into our adult life. In his book Secrets of the Millionaire Mind, T. Harv Eker writes about how your thoughts lead to your f
