| 0:00.0 | Hello, hi and welcome to another episode of the Emmagun show. am your host Emmagan Awardner and in this |
| 0:16.0 | episode I'm joined by columnist mommy blogger and author Emily Leary although some of |
| 0:21.8 | you may know her better as a mummy too. |

| 0:29.5 | little about parenting, so I knew I'd learn a lot from Emily, but perhaps what intrigued me the most |
| 0:35.5 | was how she left a successful job in marketing to pursue her blog full-time before |
