Wrestling With Life
Wrestling with yourself? Other people? Life? You’re not alone – nobody has life figured out. Welcome to Wrestling With Life, where we get out of our heads together, baby!! I’m your host, EmLed, and I’m spilling all the tea on the ways I’ve struggled and how I’m stepping into the highest version of myself in the hopes it will help you do the same. Wrestling With Life is a community for ambitious people who want to get out of their head and start truly living! Learn to adopt the mindset shifts, habit changes, and self-talk of the people who truly love themselves and their lives so you can step into your most authentic self. We cover all sorts of juicy topics like how to stop caring what other people think, advocating for yourself, living a life that’s true to you, and so much more. Sometimes I drop these truth bombs solo and sometimes I bring in my favorite people to do the honors. But one thing is always the same: I keep it real with you guys and get really freaking vulnerable, own my shit, and challenge you to look at life through a limitless lens of who you could be. It’s time to get out of your head and grab life by the freaking balls!!! If you’re liking what you’re hearing, follow @wrestlingwithlifepod on Instagram and TikTok or leave me a 5-star review wherever you listen. Welcome babe - I’m so happy you’ve joined the wrestling squad!

My bestie LIZZY!!! is on the pod to give you the 411 on advocating for yourself when...
People cross your boundaries
People hurt your feelings
People are disrespecting you
You need help
...while also keeping in mind:
There are two sides to every story
People who love you don't intend to hurt you
Coming in HOT is not the best approach
And more <3
We giggled the entire way through this episode and Lizzy dropped some amazing truth bombs of wisdom you don't wanna miss!

It's soooo important to demand respect from the people in your life. But be warned: there are two extremes when it comes to setting boundaries and standards in your relationships:
High standards and no grace
Low standards and too much grace
Both of these extremes are SO unhealthy and lead to either having no solid relationships or letting people walk all over you. In this episode we discuss what a healthy middle ground looks like :) Let's gooooooo baby!!

Those who RKO the shit out of life
Those who let life RKO the shit out of them
Suffering is involved in either choice. Which do you want to be?

Are you focusing on all your problems? What hasn't been going well? How you've failed? Where you're "behind"?
Me too dude. I've been so in my head lately and in such a funk. God really spoke to me the last few weeks and showed me that my attention has been centered around all the wrong things.
In this episode we talk about:
How hyper-fixating on our problems is counterproductive
How we can pull ourselves out of scarcity mindset
How to practice gratitude for what you DO have, what you ARE doing right, and how you HAVE grown & improved
Your emotions and problems are always valid bb. But letting negativity and darkness consume you will only destroy you in the long run. Let's get out of our heads together today <3

DUVAN IN THE HOUSE!!! My college bestie of 7+ years joined me on the pod for a hilarious but also real ass conversation.
We discuss:
How Duvan was effected growing up in poverty and being bullied
How he overcame these feelings and stopped caring about what others think
How we both struggle with:
Trusting people
Feeling "behind" in life
Believing it's okay to not be okay
We also reminisce on Duvan's player days and both of our party days. This episode is full of a lot of laughs, wisdom, and way too many F-bombs.

Anybody else down bad in the trenches rn? I've had a rough start to 2024 -- but I'm here to tell you it isn't the end of the world.
Here's some words of wisdom from my favorite people who have been picking up my pieces:
Healing isn't linear
It's not weak to ugly cry
You don't lose the healing progress you made just because you have a few bad nights or weeks
Give yourself grace
Remember you're only human and this is your first time every doing any of this shit
Know when to take breaks and take a step back from things
Let yourself feel your emotions
It's okay to slip back into old patterns as long as you catch yourself and correct yourself
P.S. Wrestling With Life will be pivoting to guest episodes for the foreseeable future. I'm so excited for this next season of the podcast and I hope you are too :)
