Podcast Transcript: I know you’re tired. I know you are so tired of all of this. Of the not knowing. Of the waiting for it to end. Of the not knowing how long it’s actually going to last. I know you are tired of feeling like things are spinning. And you’re not in control. I know you’re tired of grasping for something solid to hold onto— for anything that tells you you’re not in this all alone. I know you want your routine back. I know you want your normal back— your regular old life. The everyday days that seem like such a distant memory now. I know you’re tired of worrying. And thinking. And overthinking. And planning. I know you’re tired of trying to predict what tomorrow is going to throw you, and whether you’ll be ready for it when it does. I know you’re tired of buying too much. And storing too much. And not being able to hug your family. I know you are tired of not being able to see your friends, and not being able to go places, and having to cancel all of the things on your calendar you’ve been looking forward to for so long. I know you’re tired, love. From all of it. From trying. And doing. And feeling like you’re failing. But mostly, from trying to keep yourself and everyone around you safe by giving up. By giving up so very much. For something so small. And so invisible. And so terrifying. I know it feels like this is never going to end. But it will. And trust me when I say that you are not the only one feeling the way you are. Like you just can’t keep it together. Like what the world is asking for you to carry keeps getting heavier and heavier. We will get through this. We will. But until we do, let me just reassure you. You are not alone. And we are all in this together. So just keep focusing on doing the best you can, with the worst you get. Hang on, love. Hang on.

Do you always wonder when it will be your turn? In today's episode, Emma reminds us that nothing that is meant for us will ever get lost on its way there.

Podcast Transcript: I think it’s brave. I do. How you never stop believing in other people. In their ability to change— to be better— to love you more than they do. I think it’s brave that you never seem to run out of space in your heart to fit in new love stories. To keep hoping. To keep— going. I think it’s brave. I think that YOU are brave. I do. But— I also want you to eventually realize that not everyone and everything that dances into your life deserves a permanent place to stay. Not everyone deserves— you. And you know that you only have two hands. And you can’t hold on to everything. You just can’t. And you know this— I know you do. But when you choose to hold on to the things that are trying their hardest to pull away from you, it makes it THAT much harder to hold on to the gentler things in this life. The delicate things. The beautiful things. When you are always fighting, your hands are always full of tension and your eyes are always distracted— your hands are trying like hell to hang on to things that maybe were never meant to be yours. And your eyes? They are ever-focused on what is leaving you. And not on what has stayed. So— loosen your grasp. Just a little. Nothing that is meant for you will get lost on it’s way there, love. Nothing.

Do you constantly ask yourself why you're going through the things you are? In today's episode, Emma hands us a little dose of hope for the uncertain times.

Podcast Transcript: I wrote Untangling during one of the more tumultuous times in my life— last summer. For those of you currently reading it, just make sure you don’t miss the acknowledgments section. Just don’t. It tells a little more of the story. And you won’t want to miss it. Untangling is a book first about loss— and then, and most importantly, about growth. And for all of you, I am going to let you in on a little secret. Two weeks after I finished writing this book— after I finished navigating all the chapters of loss and growth and healing— I ran headfirst into the person that made the entire journey to get there worth it. Now, that’s a story for another book— but I do want to remind all of you who are out there searching— that life has its plans. It does. Life has a purpose for what it puts us through, and how long it takes for us to get there. Life has a purpose for every no. For every not yet. For every goodbye. And I can’t tell you how long you are going to need to wait, or where (or from whom) your growth will ultimately come from. All I can promise you (just like the story I tell in Untangling) is that this life puts things in your path to steer you in the direction you need to go. There IS a reason for what you’re walking through. There is always a reason, love. So if you’re walking through the darkness right now— through the chaos, the confusion— just hang on. Hang on because your ‘one day’ is coming. It is. And it’s incredible.
