Episode 22: "Don't. Be. A. Robot."

On Joy, Truth-Telling, and Summer Break with Emma

In this heartfelt, hilarious, and wisdom-filled episode, Emma returns to the mic after a short break to kick off summer vacation with side-eyes, real talk, and her signature honesty.

Together, we explore joy in its simplest form, the power of being seen and celebrated, and what it looks like to grow in truth-telling, even when it’s messy. Emma drops the mic with a line that will stick with you all week: “Don’t. Be. A. Robot.”

This conversation invites you to slow down, tune in, and honor what it means to be fully human.
