This episode might trigger you as I talk about something controversial which is: why I love money. While money isn’t the most important thing on the planet, money does make life a whole lot easier as it serves as a tool and resource. 

I believe in achieving financial freedom and independence so you can live your fullest life in accordance with your values. Money is an amplifier that allows you to do more of what you love and be more of who you are.

So if you have any money mindset challenges, I hope you enjoy this episode and know that it’s never too late to start fostering a healthy relationship with money and attracting more of it.

Listen in as I talk about:

02:38 Gratitude for Community Support
04:08 Celebrating Life and Family in Sedona
05:02 Unpacking the Love for Money

I’m so excited to have Rachel East of Clarity On Fire as my special guest and to answer your questions about finding your life purpose.

If you’ve been tying your life purpose to career – you’re missing out on more than half the equation! 

Listen on as we explore the pitfalls of tying your joy and purpose to external factors like a career. We also discuss the difference between purpose and passion, what purpose is and isn’t, and how to create a purposeful life today.

Finding your purpose starts with realizing what you have been conditioned to believe about yourself. It’s only when we can start deprogramming those thoughts that you can emerge as your true, authentic best selves.

And really, life purpose may not be so much about accomplishing goals X, Y, and Z, as it is just simply being excited about living the human experience. 

So please join us in this episode as we cover the following topics:

Do you have a hard time making space in your life to have fun? Are adults even allowed to have fun – in the sense of just allowing yourself to be present? Do you only do what feels productive?

In this episode, I'm going to teach you some easy tips and share ways that I have added more fun into my own life, because we all deserve to INTENTIONALLY experience fun and be present in the moment!

Maybe you feel like your habits are hardwired for survival. Or perhaps your family was working all the time, so you never saw what it was like to see an adult model how to have fun.

I don't remember seeing my parents having fun. I remember how hard they worked. It wasn’t until recently, as an adult, that I realized how it affected me – whether that’s how I approached school, life, or work. 

I now know that it's critical to allow myself to have fun – as an adult. You DESERVE to have moments where you have fun for the sake of pure enjoyment, and I’m here to encourage you! 

You’ll learn about reflecting on the things, the moments, and the experiences that bring you pure bliss and joy. You can try out a new hobby or interest. You can reframe what you define as “work.”  

Plus, if you're already mastering having fun as an adult, I'm going to challenge you to take it to the next level.

Listen in as we uncover the following topics:
00:00 The Serious Side of Life: Recognizing the Need for Fun02:38 Rediscovering Joy: Embracing Hobbies and Interests07:57 Finding Fun in the Present: Practical Tips for Enjoyment09:30 Embracing New Hobbies and the Importance of Play12:23 Savoring Fun and Cultivating Gratitude13:41 Overcoming Struggles and Finding Simple Joys15:22 Wrapping Up: Encouragement and Next Steps

When you do something that allows you to nourish your soul, reduce your stress, get back into creativity, and inspires you…adding in more fun becomes an intentional step in allowing yourself to enjoy life more. 

Thanks for joining me on this first episode of the Cultivate Your Joyful Life podcast. 

I’m here to encourage you to be the most bold and courageous version of YOU – so that you can create a life you love, on your own terms!

In this debut episode, I, Emily Liou, Certified Life Coach, explain my soul purpose and mission to evolve from a known job search coach to a life coach. Listen in as I delve into why I’m so freaking excited to share how you can cultivate your own joyful life.

For the past 6+ years, I've been helping people land their dream jobs without applying online. I’ve made a name for myself as a “LinkedIn Top 10 Voice” to follow in job search and career, and I’m recognized for having one of the top career-coaching programs. 

But, as you’ll learn in this episode, we are whole beings, and I’ve been feeling out of alignment with myself to not support your beautiful soul with everything that relates to inside and outside of your career.

Together, we’ll go on a journey of how you can come back to your whole self – your true authentic self, the self that loves and approves of yourself – no matter what you have on the exterior or what others say or think.

And to begin, I have a practical exercise called the Wheel of Life to get you started on your journey.

Listen in as we uncover the following topics:

00:00 Welcome to the Journey: Discovering Your Why00:41 Introducing Cultivate Your Joyful Life01:33 The Personal Story Behind the Podcast02:11 Transitioning from Career Coach to Life Coach03:16 The Essence of Cultivating a Joyful Life08:13 Unveiling the Wheel of Life: A Guide to Fulfillment09:46 Your First Actionable Exercise: The Wheel of Life11:47 Gratitude and Next Steps

Thanks for joining me on this first episode of the Cultivate Your Joyful Life podcast. 

I’m here to encourage you to be the most bold and courageous version of YOU – so that you can create a life you love, on your own terms!
