What you do well

In this inspiring episode of The Wellness Puzzle Podcast, I sit down with Emily Erstad, a remarkable healthcare executive and indie author who beautifully blends emotional intelligence with operational excellence.

Emily’s journey is a powerful reminder that even the most driven and successful among us can lose our way chasing success, love, and happiness. With a background in speech-language pathology and extensive experience in strategic regional leadership, Emily has built and scaled high-performing teams while helping emerging leaders grow with clarity, compassion, and confidence.

But her path wasn’t always clear. After running too fast for too long, Emily found herself struggling and lost — until one profound question changed everything: “What do I do well?”

That moment of stillness led her back to her true identity, and from there, her light began to shine even brighter. Today, Emily channels that light into her writing — including her In Too Deep series — and into her work helping others heal from burnout, rediscover self-worth, and redefine what leadership truly means.

In this heart-opening conversation, Emily shares her journey of:

• Slowing down to reconnect with her authentic self
• Finding peace and joy beyond achievement
• Leading and living with presence, purpose, and soul
• Using storytelling as a powerful tool for transformation

Outside of her professional world, Emily finds joy in nature, interior design, turquoise jewelry, vintage records, and her favorite cowboy boots — the simple pleasures that keep her grounded and inspired.

✨ Don’t miss this beautiful episode that reminds us all to pause, breathe, and ask the most powerful question of all — What do I do well?
