I'm Emily Shram, the ultimate meathead hippie. Welcome to the show.

Sometimes the longer you wait to hit record, the less likely it's going to happen.

How true is that in every aspect of our life?

The longer you wait, the more time you have to think, and the less likely it will become

or a path that is full of coulds, not shoulds, and how many times have we gotten into something

and it was a I should be doing this? I should, I should, I should, versus I could. And that is an air of

opportunity that is a lens of joy that is a place of experience versus a place of restriction.
