Send us Fan Mail We all learn key lessons, warnings, stories and skills throughout our lives, and the ones we learn early on truly determine what we go through, think, feel and what we do. In the last episode, Bianca and Emilia discussed the 5 things they WISH they learned and heard growing up. In this episode the ladies of The WhyPower Podcast will be discussing the lessons they DID learn, and th...

Send us Fan Mail The lessons we learn in life truly shape us into the people we are; whether it's how to think, feel, the experiences we go through or what we see the people around us experiencing. These factors determine the trajectory of our life and who we are able to become. Many of us learned such valuable lessons from the people around us, our parents, grandparents, teachers, caregivers...

Send us Fan Mail It's hard allowing ourselves to admit this, especially if you're someone who learned how to completely fend for yourself and be alone: we need people, and more importantly we need good, and healthy relationships with other people in order to truly and fully succeed in life. This episode addresses the theory of attachment, and more specifically how your attachment style i...

Send us Fan Mail "To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment." -- Ralph Waldo Emerson A major goal every person in life has, whether it's verbally expressed or not, is to figure out who we are, and be ourselves, no matter what. It's a beautiful thought and something we all aspire to, but what are the risks and c...

Send us Fan Mail Imagine your life is like a boat; your values determine where you will steer to, or go, and your boundaries are the guardrails keeping you safe from falling off when passing through unsafe waters. Every single day of our lives we are on a journey, headed towards our primary visions, goals, dreams and aspirations. Having well thought out values, and strongly held boundaries, are tw...

Send us Fan Mail Every leader, mentor, speaker, "guru" or expert has their own understanding and teaching of self-belief; where it comes from, how to acquire it, how to really make it last. Many of these theories are sound, but they might not fit for every single person! In this episode Emilia and Bianca teach you where self-belief truly comes from, based on science and decades of resear...

Send us Fan Mail We have all endlessly heard, from one person or another, that we need to prioritize what's most important to us, or "get your priorities in check." But what does this actually look like? How do you decide what to focus on, how much to focus on in and what the best strategy is for you? Bianca and Emilia discuss their different personality styles (E vs. M), and teach...

Send us Fan Mail As we learned in Part 1 of this 2 part series, saying no can be an incredibly difficult thing to do; it challenges us to decide what's really important in our lives, and forces us to set those boundaries on our time, energy and even our heart. But how do you say no without hurting the people around you? How do you say no in a way that maintains those relationships around you,...

Send us Fan Mail For a long time, there was this belief that you should say "YES" to everything; yes to every opportunity, to every event, to every risk, to every request. But how beneficial is saying yes, truly? Sure, we want to have more experiences, have more friends, have more stories to tell, but what is saying YES taking you away from? How is saying YES to everything, actually hurt...

Send us Fan Mail Valentine's Day is here, and with it comes the romantic movies, songs and commercials that show us what love "means" and is "supposed" to look like. What all of us recognize, but have a hard time really understanding is, "why doesn't love look like what I see on T.V. and in the movies? Why isn't love easy? Screenshot this episode & tag @...

Send us Fan Mail Ever had that pit in your stomach that you get when you are faced with a challenge that makes you flood with fear?

Send us Fan Mail From 0-10, how much do you believe you are moved by your devices? How much power does your phone ALONE have over how your day goes? LETS TALK ABOUT IT! We are the most distracted, and distractible we have ever been; and as easy as it is to blame our devices, we need to take a hard look in the mirror and recognize the control we give to these devices, the power we have allowed them...

Send us Fan Mail We've all heard the phrase "you are the average of the 5 people you spend the most time with." When it comes to success, in whatever you consider success to be, the people, places, things, and even the mental and emotional environment in your head, will truly determine who you become, and what you will do. Your environment is one of the most important aspects of you...

Send us Fan Mail What is your definition of success? Where are you looking to validate what this success looks like?  How will you know you've finally 'gotten there'. What are the SYSTEMS you have in place to protect your trajectory TO success? The path might look different than ours, but uncovering your own unique design is paramount to living a fulfilled life. The word "syste...

Send us Fan Mail There's one common thread that you'll hear over and over again, which is one of the MAJOR ingredients to one's success; Belief-not only in something greater than yourself, but the belief you have IN yourself and your capabilities. So how do you start believing in yourself? How do you build up that motivation to do the work every day that builds up your goals? How do...

Send us Fan Mail This episode is a bit different from previous episodes, we're switching it up! This episode is a monologue where Emilia shares her wisdom, knowledge and experience in the arena of motivation: particularly how to motivate yourself based on your personality style, temperament, lifestyle, fears, beliefs and so much more. Motivation strongly comes down to your WHY (the premise of...

Send us Fan Mail New Year's Eve is coming up, and each year we make promises to ourselves and those around us that we're going to make this year different. We find ourselves saying "this will be the year I finally...(insert desire here)." We buy the gym membership, buy the program, the equipment, etc. We truly convince ourselves it'll be different this year, because we are...

This episode dives into conflict resolution strategies that are aimed to help you keep healthy relationships (and your sanity) during those events you are dreading attending.

Send us Fan Mail The holiday season is a time where families are meant to unite, friends' bonds become closer and we all sing, watch holiday movies, drink cocoa and express the love we have for each other. But what about the other side of the holidays? The not so shiny, bright and joyous side that some of our favorite movies, like The Grinch, demonstrate? This side involves the toxic family d...

Send us Fan Mail Every single one of us have heard someone, somewhere, discuss the topic of the power of gratitude. It has been said so many times that it has become a "buzzword" and a "woo-woo" concept that many of us just dismiss. But what if giving gratitude was the one thing that made all the difference in your life? In this episode Emilia and Bianca discuss the science beh...

Send us Fan Mail So many of us in our adult life, and even as children, have asked ourselves the question (at least once), "What's my purpose?" This question can be a blessing or a curse because those of us who know the answer feel empowered by it and take charge on it, and those who don't know the answer feel as though they have to go out searching for it. There's also an...

Send us Fan Mail Our lives are predicated on our relationships, whether it’s the relationship we have with our family, our peers, our colleagues or even with ourselves, our food, our environment. These relationships, and how we interpret and internalize them truly make the difference in our lives; so when these relationships are toxic, or painful, or just downright damaging, it makes a massive neg...

Send us Fan Mail We all want the keys to create and maintain our own boundaries, but what about honoring and respecting the boundaries of others? As children, most of us were taught "treat others the way you want to be treated" and the same goes for boundaries! Respect that of others, which you want respected! In this episode Bianca and Emilia really dive into some major keys for honorin...

Send us Fan Mail Growing up, no one ever sat us down and said "here is how you set a boundary." To be honest, nobody ever even told us what a boundary was! As adults, so many of us still struggle with this concept and actually taking action on it; we feel bad saying no, we don't want to hurt others feelings, we've never actually put ourselves first. Emilia and Bianca have strug...

Send us Fan Mail We all want to be loved, understood, and accepted for who we are. But what if the people who can't do those things, are the ones who brought us into this world, and who were by our sides our entire childhood? Our families mean so much to us, whether by blood or by choice, we want their acceptance and understanding of who we are, but for some of us that just isn't the cas...
