In the first episode of The Flower Girl Perspective, Emily shares the story behind the perspective she brings to the podcast. Before sitting down with strangers and asking them to be vulnerable, she opens up about the life that shaped her: growing up sheltered, losing hope, questioning fear-based religion, rebuilding her relationship with God, learning to love her body, dating herself, trusting her intuition, and becoming the person younger her needed. This episode is for anyone who needs a reminder that it really can get better — and that you can make something beautiful out of whatever ingredients life gave you.
