Summary

Episode 207: This week, Natalie’s sitting down with a beloved guest who has already passed the vibe check. That’s right, Emily Duong is back on the podcast! She’s known as the host of the "What Fulfils You" podcast and founder of Elite Skate Wear, but let’s not forget her real talent: flirting. In this episode, Emily shares her secrets to taking risks in all areas of life (like approaching men at the bar) without getting bogged down by the "what ifs", practicing Stoicism, and putting your ego aside to achieve your goals. She also discusses how to deal with rejection and find the sweet spot between confidence and humility. Even after leaving the Amish capital of America, where her hometown only had 8,000 people, Emily's story is a reminder that anything is possible if you don't give up. So, if you're looking for some motivation, words of wisdom, and a healthy dose of wit and laughter between two gal-pals, tune in to hear Emily and Nat swap stories on growing up with immigrant parents, letting go of resentment, finding grounding practices, and living life without regrets. Today’s episode dives into: Emily’s journey with skating and if she has any regrets from her experience The breakup that altered her mindset and formed who she is today What it’s like to grow up with immigrant parents and the impact if can have on your adult life Her thoughts on the Kardashians and why she’s never put them on a pedestal Growing up in the Amish capital of America and defying the odds of making it out Tips and mindset practices for dealing with rejection How to know when you’ve found your people in life Navigating grudges and learning how to let go of resentment The importance of finding your own individual grounding practice Thank you so much for being a part of our podcast community!
