She didn’t start a brand to go viral. She started it to find herself again.

At 47, Caroline Baudino thought life had passed her by. Her father was sick, her confidence was gone, and her reflection felt like a stranger’s. But instead of breaking down, she gave herself a simple assignment: Get up. Get dressed. And what began as one woman’s daily act of courage evolved into Shop with Caroline, a brand that now inspires nearly a million women to rediscover their worth and their voice.

In this episode, Emily and Caroline unpack the blueprint behind her personal brand - the habits, systems, and mindset shifts that turned authenticity into influence, and influence into impact, because every brand begins with a belief…that who you are is worth being seen.

• Why it’s never too late to rise, rebuild, and be seen
• How to turn your real life into your most powerful brand story
• Habits that turn visibility into genuine connection
• The secret to creating a community that feels like family
• How to build a brand that doesn’t burn you out, but brings you alive

Love doesn’t end in one dramatic moment. It fades slowly in silence - in the kiss we don’t give, the words we leave unsaid, and the gratitude we forget to express. That’s where intimacy slips away.

If your income stops the moment you stop working, you don’t own a business - you own a job. Too many entrepreneurs stay trapped in this cycle, mistaking hard work for wealth. The truth is, hustle will never scale.

Terra Harvell broke out of that game. Once “just a hairdresser,” she went from standing behind the chair to scaling Harper Ellis Hair Co. into an 8-figure brand. Now, she’s rewriting the rules for hairstylists everywhere, teaching them how to scale their business, build lasting wealth, and create not just their dream life, but their legacy.

In this episode, Emily sits down with Terra to uncover the exact principles that transformed her journey. If you’ve ever felt capped by your time, your income, or your industry, this conversation will show you what’s possible when you choose to build differently.

What if the very thing you’ve been fighting all along is the very thing you need to let go of? What if the patterns, shame, and fear you’ve been holding onto aren’t obstacles to push through, but signals pointing you toward freedom?

In this episode, Emily sits down with Kevin Crenshaw, known as The Heart Guy, who has spent over a decade helping leaders and individuals break free from the patterns, fears, and habits that keep them stuck. His own near-death experience, chronic illness, and mental health struggles forced him to confront the things he couldn’t control and taught him that surrender to God, not pushing harder, is often the first step toward transformation.

Together, Emily and Kevin explore the experiences that shaped his journey and the insights he now shares with others to help them release what no longer serves them, step confidently into God’s plan, and live with more clarity, freedom, and purpose.

• The ways surrender can break cycles of shame, fear, and limiting patterns.
• The life-changing reality of deliverance and the Holy Spirit
• Stories of real transformation that show how trusting God changes everything

She turned $1,000 and a table at a local market into a multimillion-dollar jewelry empire. What started as a creative outlet for Lisa Valenzuela nearly 20 years ago has grown into Truly Blessed Jewels, a brand known for its timeless designs and bold identity.

From her earliest days selling jewelry in farmers' markets, Lisa understood that people weren’t just buying a product. They were buying into how the brand made them feel. That mindset, combined with her relentless work ethic and faith, created loyalty that no trend could ever replicate.

Today, Truly Blessed Jewels has grown beyond jewelry pieces into signature services like permanent jewelry and customized experiences that keep customers coming back. At its core, the brand remains what it has always been: a vision rooted in service, a business grounded in faith, and proof that branding built on authenticity will always outlive every trend.

• The service model that makes customers fall in love with a brand
