Ep. 21 - Adjusting to Life Transitions, Ignoring the “Shoulds” & How to Live a Healthyish Life with Emily Joseph

The Chasing Joy Podcast

Emily was one of the first bloggers I really connected with back in 2014. We’ve met a couple times in New York, Tampa and most recently Philly. What attracted me first to Emily’s blog is her amazing writing and ability to distill such relatable truths.

She’s someone who shares her thoughts in such a relatable valuable way without making everything a listicle or waiting until life has happened to wrap up some lessons in a bow.

This episode is all about life after college. The ups the downs and how to navigate between what you really want versus what the world is telling you you’re supposed to be doing.
