About the Host :

Host, Emily Williams is a success coach, author, speaker, and CEO of multiple brands.

After falling into a quarter-life crisis and struggling through a string of low-paying jobs (including serving up lattes at Starbucks), she finally decided it was time to follow her heart. So she packed her bags, moved to London (where she knew no one), and launched her own coaching business, I Heart My Life (without knowing if she’d ever make a dime). And that’s when her whole life changed course.

In her first month in business, Emily earned $442. She then went on to hit 6 figures before her 30th birthday, and—after just 18 months—successfully scaled what she'd started to a multi-million dollar empire.

Today, she remains the CEO of I Heart My Life, which has evolved into a media, educational and lifestyle brand through which she carries out her mission of helping thousands of women worldwide to create a life better than their dreams.
