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 differe...
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 f...

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.
P.S. We are back to episodes on Tuesdays!!! Stay tuned for my Patreo...
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 to...
👑 <-- here babe you dropped this :)
Do you know how BAD ASS you are to be chasing after what you want even when nobody else gets it? Even when you're wrestling with your own limiting beliefs and doubts and fears IN ADDITION to living in a super judgmental world where everyone else is constantly projecting THEIR OWN self-doubt on you???
I don't think you do babe, so I'm here to remind you. Tune in for the pep talk you didn't kno...
We got LED himself guest starring on the pod baby!!!!
My dad has always had a pristine reputation everywhere he goes as a reliable man who follows through on his word, doesn't speak poorly of other people, and always strives to do the right thing.
Led is here to spill the tea on how and why it's so important to live a life of integrity and share practical ways you can do the same. Let's get into it baby!!!!
You ready for the biggest truth bomb I've ever learned in my life?
NOTHING. IS. PERSONAL!!!!!!
The way people treat you has nothing to do with you. Getting rejected romantically or by friends or for a job has nothing to do with you!!!! Tune in to hear why <3
