On this week’s episode, Chelsea sits down with Emmy to discuss:

  1. Existing out loud - Emmy shares about her work, her passion and her way of storytelling

  2. From blogging to podcasting - Before joining Mic Drop, Emmy has a decent chunk of blogs, an avenue where she reveals her truest self

  3. ‘I want to be me’ - Emmy doesn’t want to be anybody else but herself and podcasting helps her do that

  4. Intentionality - The secret to being a consistent podcaster is by being intentional with all episodes you publish

  5. Podcasting as a safe space - Putting yourself out there is scary but for Emmy, for some reason, podcasts make her feel safe

  6. Advice for podcasters - “Give yourself time”

 
 

“Experiencing life has been helpful. Putting myself in different environments, having someone who is so different from me, and at the same time people are like, it just Makes Sense. I think being open to having people reflect back to you in some way can kind of help affirm you to yourself.”
