Let’s Get (Mostly) All Figured Out... Again

We’re back!!! Season 4 is officially here, and I am so freaking happy to be back behind the mic. I missed this space. I missed you. And honestly, I’m coming into this season with a whole new energy - and a whole new game plan.

In this kickoff episode, I’m reintroducing myself (hi, I’m Emily Rose 👋), and sharing the deeply personal, mostly chaotic path that got me here - from growing up the oldest of nine in a big Polish Catholic family to giving an epically bad chastity speech to a group of fourth graders (don’t worry, I explain), to becoming a single mom, small biz owner, and woman who is finally figuring out what she wants… not just what everyone else expects from her.

I’ve never been a perfectionist - but I am a lifelong people pleaser. I’ve spent so much of my life trying to be what everyone else needed, expected, or wanted me to be. And that led me into some very real moments of crisis, transformation, and (thankfully) growth.

This season, the podcast is evolving. I’m doing something new: every month, I’m taking on a different habit or goal (like waking up early, working out, tracking my spending) and using this space to hold myself accountable in real time. The goal? Progress, not perfection. Just messy, human, hilarious, healing growth.

In this episode:

• Why I’m switching things up this season (again)
• That time I weaponized a chastity talk (sorry to literally all my friends)
• How pregnancy, miscarriage, and divorce forced me to rethink everything
• Learning to stop living for other people’s approval
• How ADHD and radical acceptance have shaped me lately
• The monthly challenges I’m taking on (and dragging you into with me)

Whether you’re brand new here or you’ve been around since day one, thank you for being part of this. We don’t have to have it all figured out. We just have to show up.
