Hello, everyone. I am just so giddy right now because I just posted my first podcast episode in a while.

And the podcast has been such a purposeful journey for me. And it's something that I love. And I feel, you know, without it, I feel like I really was missing so much, so much of that fulfillment that I get out of my life. And I recently just went to

the Rise event by Nick Komodina, which I mentioned in the last episode. And in that, I was able to

connect with people that have followed my journey, listened to the podcast. And, oh, that is like life

for me. I need that. Like, i need to meet my people in person because

it connects me you know i think and that's why i've really focused to my retreats and

in-person events because we need each other we need real forms of connection even like

even those of you that feel connected with me online, it's like

one thing online. It's completely different in person, meaning like the depth of the connection

is so much more valuable in person than it is online. So I really encourage you guys,

if I ever share an event or somewhere where I'm speaking or one of my evolved Emily retreats,

do your best to come. I promise it's going to be incredible. You're going to get a lot of value out of it.

I am only doing things this year and throughout the rest of my life. That is a hell yes.

So when I am speaking at an event or doing something like that, you can know that you're going to get

some really valuable things out of it. So I don't think I welcomed you guys. Welcome to the

Evolve Emily's show. I'm your host, Emily Hayden. And what I've decided to do by bringing

back these solo episodes is I'm just going to start by sharing different stories and different things

that I've learned through and grown through. So today where I want to take the episode is I want

to talk about my transition of moving to a place, moving back to the place that I came from.

So a lot of you guys know that I lived in L.A. for about seven years. I'm originally

from Houston, Texas. And when 2020 hit, I decided to move back to Texas after a while. I think I made

the official move in early 2021, because I was traveling all of 2020 anyways, so I didn't have to be in L.A. too
