Episode Synopsis

This episode is a wake-up call wrapped in warmth. Dr. Emily Jacobs and I dive deep into the unspoken cost of overgiving, the roots of people-pleasing, and the hard-but-holy work of choosing a different story. From generational patterns to redefining wealth, self-worth, and success, we explore what it really means to make empowered choices that serve your future (not your guilt).Key Takeaways:-People-pleasing starts early, but it’s your responsibility to unchoose it.-Self-sacrificing can easily become self-sabotage… and that’s when you stay stuck.-Transformation usually isn’t as painful as staying where you are.From chasing mom’s approval to choosing a life of peace, Dr. Emily Jacobs shares how burnout, boundaries, and brave decisions shaped her evolution. This episode is packed with mindset shifts, light-hearted honesty, and powerful reframes about what we’re really choosing and why it matters.#Boundaries #Overgiving #BurnoutRecovery #PurposeDrivenLife #WomenInLeadership #PeoplePleasing #EmotionalWellness #RedefiningSuccess #EmpoweredChoices CONNECT WITH EMILY***Come Join the 3rd Live Empowered Moms Event on Oct 5th in Detroit*** (Click Here for Early Bird Pricing!)IG - https://www.instagram.com/dremilyjacobs/website - https://empoweredmoms.co/Grab the bestselling book, Live Your Life For You (Not Your Mom) LET'S CONNECT @brittneytollinchi⁠YouTube⁠ (for full video episodes)⁠LinkedIn⁠⁠Instagram⁠RESOURCES**Feel like you "don't have time" to start makign different choices for your life?
