Prompting the Soul

hi, we are back AND with video this time. I really wanted to read some old journal entries and to chat about what's been top of mind for me lately. I read a few journal entries from past Emi, feeling scared for what's to come. I also shared a bit more of my current reflections on integrating all the different sides of myself into one. I really enjoyed this one, and I hope you do too. <3

HIYAH! Today we chatted about emotional closure and explored whether closure is actually necessary to move on, or whether it's kind of egotistical to demand it from people and situations. I also reflected on what it feels like to be on the other side of closure. What if you're the villain in someone else's story? I reflected on the times I've been the one who didn't explain, di...

HI! I MISSED YOU! It feels like I am taking a mini vacay every other day with this podcast. As you will hear in today's episode, my perfectionism has kept me away from this project. To honor the main reason I started, I am backkkkk. And I'm excited for what's to come. Use today's episode as your sign to keep going! I know it's easier said than done, but it feels so good when we...

She's on camera?!!!! How fun to try something new! I've been wanting to do a video episode, and I kept waiting for the "right time". No videographer or studio owner came magically knocking at my door, so I decided to do it anyway. I have been really claiming this energy of doing things that make ME feel good and happy without expectation. Anyway, I hope you enjoy today's mini...

Hi, Happy Anniversary to the pod! For this episode, I wanted to take the time to talk about what is happening in Venezuela and the aftermath of a tragic natural disaster. I've been feeling so much over the past few weeks, and I've had a hard time thinking of what to talk about. The biggest theme for me lately has been sitting in a constant battle of guilt, gratefulness, helplessness, and h...

Happy 30 episodes of Prompting the Soul!!!! Today's episode is a vulnerable one for me. I share my journey with getting my Narcolepsy diagnosis and navigating life with it. Even six years after my diagnosis, I still struggle to find the right words to talk about what it is like to live with it, but this episode felt like the right place to try. We talk about post-traumatic growth, the quiet st...

Being an adult is hard!!!! And while aging is such a blessing, the reality is that it also brings a sense of grief for the life we used to have. I hope you enjoy today's conversation, journaling prompts, and affirmations!!! Thanks for listening.

HIYAH! It's good to be back. This time, I am hoping to stay for the summer. Lately, I've been haunted by the "what's next?" question. I've seen people around me questioning the same thing. Should I move? Should I go back to school? Should I quit my job? You know the drill. Today I share my own experience on wondering "what's next?" and offer ways to rephrase...

Hi, we are back with a new episode. This one I didn't even bother taking notes for. I've been thinking and journaling about this for days, and as I was stressed about what to talk about for my next episode, this just made sense. The idea that success shouldn't be my main goal is becoming increasingly enticing. It also helps take the pressure off things, and I'm really liking how it...

HI, happy 2026! I'm back with a new episode. This one is a bit of a catch-up before we dive into regulating our nervous systems, techniques to slow down, and why chasing JOY is the best medicine for keeping us grounded through life's ups and downs. I had so much fun writing and recording this one. Enjoy! <3

Happy New Year!!!!🎆 I took a few weeks off but had to be back to reflect on 2025 and share the energy I am bringing to 2026. I hope you all had a great holiday break. Enjoy

Hi! In today’s episode, I discuss some quick and practical tips we can apply when we are in the midst of change.

Enjoy! ☺️

Enjoy! 💞
