Wrestling with yourself? Other people? Life? You’re not alone – nobody has life figured out. Welcome to Wrestling With Life, where we get out of our heads together, baby!! I’m your host, EmLed, and I’m spilling all the tea on the ways I’ve struggled and how I’m stepping into the highest version of myself in the hopes it will help you do the same. Wrestling With Life is a community for ambitious people who want to get out of their head and start truly living! Learn to adopt the mindset shifts, habit changes, and self-talk of the people who truly love themselves and their lives so you can step into your most authentic self. We cover all sorts of juicy topics like how to stop caring what other people think, advocating for yourself, living a life that’s true to you, and so much more. Sometimes I drop these truth bombs solo and sometimes I bring in my favorite people to do the honors. But one thing is always the same: I keep it real with you guys and get really freaking vulnerable, own my shit, and challenge you to look at life through a limitless lens of who you could be. It’s time to get out of your head and grab life by the freaking balls!!! If you’re liking what you’re hearing, follow @wrestlingwithlifepod on Instagram and TikTok or leave me a 5-star review wherever you listen. Welcome babe - I’m so happy you’ve joined the wrestling squad!

    The episode title says it all baby: We got unhappy single people out here longing for families and unhappy married people out here reminiscing on the good ole days when they could pee in peace.
    Poor people dream of mansions and fancy cars and rich people just wish they had the love and peace they had before money made them cold. 
    No matter where you're at in your life, it's easy to think someone who has it different also has it better. But that's not necessarily the case babe! Tune in for some encouragement and ideas on how to water the grass you're standing on right now :)

    BUY WRESTLING WITH LIFE MERCH
    A huge shift is taking place in my heart y'all. My priorities are shifting. Things that used to keep me up at night just don't anymore. "Making it" by the world's standards and crafting a certain image for myself just feels like a silly waste of time. I'm saying goodbye to being obsessed with my own little world and myself, always trying to be right and justified in my perspective...
    When you operate from the ego, peace is not possible. You focus on things you think will ultimately make you happy but actually leave you empty: status, money, titles, self-importance, accolades, recognition, credit, and praise.
    I used to think humility was the opposite extreme of this: shrinking yourself, not caring about success at all, and operating from a place of low self-esteem.
    But it's not that at all. Humility is actually how we tame our ego and find true peace, wonder in the world, joy, contentment, and purpose. Tune in to hear more 3

    43 | Wrestling With Faith: Feeling Doubt, Shame, and Anger with God and the Church

    43 | Wrestling With Faith: Feeling Doubt, Shame, and Anger with God and the Church

    BUY MERCH: Wrestling With Life merch is finally here baby!!!!! Get your hands on a big comfy embroidered hoodie or trucker cap ;) More merch coming soon. Lesssss goooooo
    Today we got one of my besties, Baby Bri, on the mic for a vulnerable convo about faith: how we've both wrestled with doubt, shame, and anger towards God and the Christian church in general.
    Boy oh boy have I avoided this topic for a long time y'all. I have been so angry with the church for many years, but I'm finally starting to see light at the end of the tunnel.
    Even if you're not a Christian and you don't believe in God, I encourage you to give this episode a listen. We cover:
    How judgmental people in the Christian church can be and why this is so harmful
    How it's easy to be turned off to faith for this reason
    How Christians can speak and model truth in love instead but still stay in your own lane

    42 | Choose Authenticity Over Acceptance: Go Where You Can Be All of You

    The people we hang out with, the places we go, and the choices we make all shape how in touch with our true selves we really are. A lot of times we sacrifice our authentic selves so we can fit in.
    Tune in for a SUPER simple mindset shift you can make that will help you stop trying to fit in places where you don't belong and prioritize authenticity over acceptance.

    41 | Stop Trying to "Fix" or Change People: Inspire Them Instead

    41 | Stop Trying to "Fix" or Change People: Inspire Them Instead

    This one is for all my "fixers" out there :) Anybody with high standards for themselves (AKA all of you beautiful people) likely has high standards for the people in their life, too. That's why it can be so frustrating when we think the people around us are slacking.
    A lesson I've learned the hard way: you cannot fix or change people. They have to want that for themselves. In this episode we discuss why being a fixer is actually toxic and how you can inspire people to be better instead :)

Lizzy is awesome ,

Loveeeeee! Must listen!!!

EmLed’s voice is just so soothing and she is so inspirational. This girl knows her stuff and I love that she is spreading her wisdom. When listening to her podcast I feel like it’s just two close friends in a room talking. She gives such great advice and her episodes are sooooo relatable.

Every episode is a MUST listen! 🫶

Wrestling with life FTW

This has been such a great listen for me in so many different areas of my own life, it helps me slow down and reflect and also remember that I’m not alone in how I feel and that we’re all just doing our best and trying to figure it out. Em is such a vulnerable host and always is her authentic self and it makes the experience 100X better.
