The Art Of

This week, we’re diving into Mel Robbins’ Let Them Theory—the mindset shift that’s been making my life so much easier. If you’ve ever felt frustrated by things out of your control, caught up in what others are doing, or constantly trying to manage situations that aren’t yours to manage, this episode is for you. At the end of the day, there are two parts to every situation: what’s in your hands and...

If you're wondering what to listen to when it comes to podcasts, start with these. I’ve been absolutely obsessed with the podcast space for the past 3.5 years, ever since I lived in Chicago. Podcasts have been my go-to for learning, laughing, and keeping me company, and these are the ones I’ve been hooked on lately: Tinx: Let Go or Be Dragged and A Sermon on Summer Comparison—thoughtful takes...

This week, we’re covering a little bit of everything—because life in your 20s is nothing if not chaotic. From the LA fires and the TikTok ban (spoiler: it’s not actually banned) to a recap of this year’s best sounds and trends (anyone else obsessed with “How lucky I am to be…”?), we’re reliving the moments that made us laugh, cringe, and feel all the feels. But let’s get real: moving to a new city...

2024: My Year in Review This year was both incredibly social and deeply personal for me. I can break it down into three buckets: personal, career, and social. If I mapped it out on a graph, it started low, rose to mid, dipped low again, and is ending on a high note. The theme I set for 2024 was “Letting Go.” I put my hands up and truly let go—learning to love myself and those around me more than I...

Does anyone know to navigate change perfectly? No. But here’s the thing: just because it’s tough doesn’t mean you have to feel completely lost in the process. Here I share practical ways to navigate change without hating every minute of it (though, no promises you won’t have those days too).

(but also a dump of people watching, sept. favs, fall wishlist, and the art of eavesdropping in public) In this episode, Emma talks about how the mantra "quality over quantity" plays a major role in her life—from friendships, to plans, the media she consumes, and even how she applies for jobs. When we focus on doing more and more, it often distracts us from doing things well—or even enjoying them...

#63: This episode is being released after just hitting the one month mark of being laid off. It was recorded in real time capturing the emotions. Though it creates a wave of emotions at different times, I have been working to stay optimistic. It is rare to be put in a position at 25 to start over and figure out what I want next in a role. I do believe things happen for a reason, even if finding th...

Who Actually Knows Podcast x My Public Journal.  From Tik Tok to the microphones, Emma and McKailyn talk, maybe a little too much, about the phases of your 20s.

Emma gets on this week to discuss what has been on her mind. The inspiration may start from a Hannah Montana lyric, but trust the process. She speaks on how she changed her mind so many times and ultimately had to learn that her decisions did not need validation. Most decisions she was unsure about but all decisions do not have to be permanent. Enjoy! xx Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠@emmabriedl⁠ Tik Tok: ⁠@...

"Comparison is the thief of joy." Not an Emma original quote. Regardless, it is relevant. Emma talks about how comparison can be a roadblock in one's life. The 20s...a time where we look around at what everyone is doing in hopes to feel as though we are on the correct "timeline" and not falling behind. But at the end of the day, no one has it all figured out. So, are we blo...
