The Vibrant Life

Send us Fan Mail  the ABCDE Model  is great for when you find yourself being overtaken by your emotions. I use it when I have a panic attack, or when I'm feeling particularly stressed out and my mind is going crazy. Which I'll admit happens more than I'd like. But it happens less and with less intensity since I've been putting in serious effort and work on being more mindful. ...

Send us Fan Mail Have you ever heard an old song that you love and it transports you right back into the past and into a special moment that might have happened while that song was playing? Well, today we're taking a look at the past, specifically our mindset and emotions about the past. I might be one of the most nostalgic people ever. Sometimes I might be a little too sentimental and I&apos...

Send us Fan Mail As I was thinking about my dad and what I wanted to share with y'all this week, I thought there couldn't be a better topic than The Joy Of Service . This is perhaps the biggest lesson I've learned from my dad, and I've learned it from his example. Not only, did I learn from my father's example though. It's been a pattern coming down the line going sev...

Send us Fan Mail For better or worse, puns & cheesy jokes play a major part in my personality. So using a ketchup bottle to promote the subject of Keep Up vs. Catch up is very ME. A ketchup bottle is an apt metaphor to kick things off for us today.

Send us Fan Mail Alrighty, we're getting down and dirty with our topic today which is Bloom Where You're Planted . This phrase has become pretty popular over the last several years, and I love it. I love plants. I love their beauty and variety. And I love the way they brighten up a place. You could even say they make things vibrant.  Support the show Join Emily Romrell on The Vibrant Lif...

Send us Fan Mail There's a quote that's been around on the internet for a while that I really like: On particularly rough days when I’m sure I can’t possibly endure, I like to remind myself that my track record for getting through bad rough days so far is 100%…and that’s pretty good.  I think this is important to remember. When we're in the thick of hard things, it's easy to fo...

Send us Fan Mail Today we're talking about the Outward Expressions Of You Inside . The ideas I want to share have been marinating and simmering around my head for a while. There are a lot of layers to the topic so just like in the classic movie Shrek , we'll peel our way to the center like an onion. That's all the cooking/food metaphors for this episode, I promise.  To kick this off...

Send us Fan Mail You know,  there are a few mottos that I've adopted in my thirty-five years. Obviously, to Live The Vibrant Life is right at the top of the list. Another one is Be Not Weary In Well Doing which has seen me through many hard days. But today, we're covering another principle that has truly changed my life. It's something that I've strived to practice in my day to...

Send us Fan Mail Like anything, the closer you look, the more you learn. There are a bunch of things Mary Poppins teaches, but the lesson I want to focus on today comes from the "Spoonful of Sugar" song. To quote the classy character, "In every job that must be done, there is an element of fun. You find the fun and snap, the job's a game." This is one of the truest tricks...

Send us Fan Mail If when I say "Wabi Sabi" you are picturing the spicy green stuff that comes with your sushi, that's not quite right. That's Wasabi. I like sushi, but wasabi isn't really my thing. But Wabi Sabi is definitely something I can get down with. In simple terms, Wabi Sabi is the art of embracing and appreciating imperfection. (I've included a couple of insi...

Send us Fan Mail Here's the truth: every single human on the planet is creative. We just have different ways of showing it. Have you ever heard the expression that someone (maybe even you) is not the brightest crayon in the box? That can be a reference to intelligence, but it also has artistic tones. If you are thinking that you're a dull crayon then this episode is for you. Support the...

Send us Fan Mail I'm doing very well, but I'm not going to lie. The last few months have been trying for me. I've been working hard to believe in myself and my goals. This podcast is a product of those efforts. But I've also been feeling the tension between who I am and who I want to be. And then there are those pesky demons of doubt that love to swoop in and stop us in our tra...

Send us Fan Mail Humans have a deep sense of what is true and what is not true. When we hear something that is true, our first response is an inward yes. Think of the spark of light that comes into someone's countenance as they understand a new concept. It could be a math principle, spiritual knowledge, or anything in between. But that light that comes into a person's eyes is the soul sa...

Send us Fan Mail Today we're talking about Prospering By Degrees. This is something that I've thought a lot about over a long period of time. I've contemplated the nature of growth and achievement and what it means to become a higher version of yourself. What is required to level up in life?  The truth is that personal development is a process. It doesn't happen instantaneously...

Send us Fan Mail “Emily,” she said. “Life is hard. You just have to decide which hard you’re willing to live with. It’s hard being over-weight and not being able to be active and do things you want to do. It’s hard to change and live a healthier lifestyle and give up some of the habits that brought you here. It’s hard to stay home in bed feeling anxious and depressed. It’s hard to make yourself ge...

Send us Fan Mail Last year my theme was choosing Faith over Fear, and let me tell you my commitment to that was tested in 2020. Not only did I have personal struggles, but the whole world seemed to be in panic mode over Covid 19, civil unrest, and many other setbacks. But my personal theme of Faith over Fear helped me to trust in a loving Heavenly Father even when everything seemed out of control....

Send us Fan Mail The first step to overcoming any weakness is to acknowledge it exists. Just naming it removes a lot of the power and fear a struggle may have over you.  So I'm getting real with you here and admitting that I really struggle with thoughts of inadequacy.  I've allowed Imposter Syndrome to prevent me from moving forward in different areas of my life, but now the time has co...
