When looking to take a leap in life, the best advice often boils down to these three words: trust your gut. Often that’s easier said than done, but this week’s guest is living proof that believing in yourself - every step of the way - changes EVERYTHING. 

Today she’s the Creator of the wildly popular The Simplified Planner®, bestselling author, and mama of three – but just a handful of years ago Emily Ley was a newlywed with a love for luxe stationery (which was not in the budget), a knack for DIY and a budding Etsy account. As Simplified grew to hit major shelves like Target and Amazon, Emily hit each milestone while staying true to herself and knowing her “why.” In this episode hear Emily’s encouragement for chasing the thing that lights you up, why she’s a stickler for morning routines and the inspirational new project that was born out of a season of feeling forgotten. Consider this episode your reminder to “simplify” and trust that your calling and your instincts really do go hand-in-hand.
