Episode Transcript:

[00:00:01] Lindsay: Emily. Thank you so much for being on the Book Your Dream Clients podcast, I’m so happy you're with us today.

[00:00:34] Emily: Thank you. It's such an honor to be here with you, Lindsay. Thank you so much for having me.

[00:00:39] Lindsay: Yeah, absolutely. 

[00:00:40] Lindsay: I'm excited to chat with you. So I just want you to go take the wheel and tell us about what you do and maybe a little bit how you got started. 

[00:00:49] Emily: Sure. So I help impact driven entrepreneurs intentionally scale through business energetics. [00:01:00] So I got into this because I saw some really.

[00:01:05] Beautiful results within my own life, in every part of abundance showing up, meaning I, once I started managing and working on my personal energy, I attracted my husband. I attracted my business. I attracted all of these beautiful things that are health, getting pregnant, a bunch of different things that came through that I wouldn't have necessarily attracted in the timely fashion that I.

[00:01:32] Experienced it. So I lived it and then I knew that once I actually put a framework in place to understand what I was doing and how I was utilizing my energy, I was, I really felt the need to share that with other people. So today I really work with really entrepreneurs that are established and they get to a place where mindset and strategy really.

[00:01:56] Doesn't work anymore. It gets you to a certain [00:02:00] point, for sure. But you want, if you want to scale to, you know, seven, eight figure, sometimes you want to, you want to look at something different to get you out of that plateau a lot of times, or even support you in hiring or, you know, scaling with complete competence.

[00:02:16] So that's what I help people do. I 

[00:02:18] Lindsay: love that we got a guest on a couple of spots ago, talking about the pain points of multiple, multiple six figures and beyond, because I think so much of our mindset when we're starting is just to get to the 100. Right. And that's all that we think about it just got to get to six figures and then everything will be glorious.

[00:02:38] And that's not the case. There's a lot of growing pains involved in there. So what does energy have to do with up leveling yourself as an entrepreneur online? 

[00:02:51] Emily: Such a good question. Well, let's just, let's just take a big step back and look at our lives. Right? So [00:03:00] everything that we are experiencing in our life right now is a direct reflection of our current energetic vibration.

[00:03:07] So. If it's the car you drive, if it's your health. And sometimes this is really like the tough love, like people don't like to hear this part because it requires you to take radical responsibility for where you're at. So sometimes people will kind of brush this off as, oh, I don't believe this, but that's really a telltale sign that you should really look at this as a way to grow and an opportunity to say, okay, this is the vibration I'm I'm operating at.

[00:03:34] And if I want results in my life, I need to elevate or adjust my energetic frequency. So I, I help people by reading the energy that they're at understanding their specific, energetic bandwidth and what I call their energetic unique, energetic framework. So all of us have a unique, energetic framework, like a DNA.

[00:03:57] For our, our unique energy in a way that we're [00:04:00] supposed to show up in the world. Okay. And so when you apply your unique DNA energetic framework to everything that you do, let's say. I'll give you an example. So it makes more sense, but let's say your energetic DNA is divine communication. Okay. So you are a beautiful communicator and you are supposed to be sharing your words.

[00:04:23] Your words are, have some sort of substance and depth to them. Like more than other people. So it's important for you to utilize your words in your work, as well as your relationships. So that's communicating with your partner. It's also communicating through, through, let's say you're speaking and you're on stages or even an author, right?

[00:04:45] So you can see that when you understand your unique, energetic framework, you can really apply that in everything that you do. And what will happen is that you're opening the flood, right? For abundance and vital force [00:05:00] energy to flood towards you. So I help people understand what their unique energetic framework is.

[00:05:05] And then I put practical action items in place so that they can actually understand how to navigate and create the life that they want. And when you're in alignment with this energy that you're supposed to be showing up with life gets so easy. Life gets so fun and fluid and. I have to say the caveat to this is that it's not always like, not like you don't have to work, right.

[00:05:33] So there's, there's a distinction between like forcing something right. And working and really enjoying it. Right. So we've all experienced that where we feel like, oh, we're pushing a square peg through a round hole, you know, and life just is not fun anymore. That's when you know that something is energetically misaligned.

[00:05:55] So I encourage you. If you're watching or listening to [00:06:00] this to really take an inventory of your life right now, ask yourself what feels forced, what feels like I am not doing something right. Is truly nourishing my soul. Right. And then ask yourself the second question of what can I do? How can I pivot or change my perspective on this to apply something that really does fuel me.

[00:06:28] Okay. If for instance, your unique, energetic framework is, is that divine communication. We'll, we'll stay with that, that analogy or that, that example. Then you would want to go at your specific position at work with a, with utilizing your communication skills or you'd like to get, it's probably, it's probably best for you to navigate into your relationship issue by having a.

[00:06:57] Conversation or writing a love note [00:07:00] or, you know what I mean? So it really is all about understanding who you are at soul level and applying that that's going to help you thrive. Mm 

[00:07:09] Lindsay: so much there. I really, it really stuck out to me when you said like, look around you and the things that you have. And I feel like that almost puts up a defense in some people when they're like, yeah, but that's just what my life is like now.

[00:07:25] And that's just what it is. I want better. But if my dreams look completely different, from my reality, It's hard for a lot of people to see that that's even possible. So can you walk them a little bit through that? 

[00:07:43] Emily: Yeah. So I think, again, you're absolutely right when I was first told that, you know, my, my current circumstances are an exact replica of the vibration that I'm operating at.

[00:07:56] I wanted to push that away as well. I didn't [00:08:00] want to hear that, but the reality is, is one. I, once I stopped really repressing that and pushing it away, avoiding it. I decided to look at it and say, how can I shift this? How can I move this? And when I started to actually look at the behaviors that I was doing and, and believing and thinking I realized that that is really not the exact.

[00:08:28] Person that would have what I was expecting to have. So I really think the exercise of, of writing out, like who would that future person be, being an embodying at that level that you're trying to achieve. And then start implementing that in your life. Right? So let's say if you expect to get a raise at work, but for some reason, and you're so frustrated cause you didn't get offered.

[00:08:55] The rates think about who that is person is that is receiving that [00:09:00] raise full wholeheartedly. Right? What actions are they taking? How are they thinking? Are they in the victim mentality? Are they pissed that they're not getting awarded? Probably not they're operating at a place that they are feeling really good as a result, they're doing different action and those actions are contributing to the new results that they're receiving.

[00:09:24] So it's really a nice exercise to start. Jotting down ways of what that future person does, how they think, how they act. And just by doing that simple act, you're already the act of writing it out. You're already starting to elevate and bring that result closer. Into your own reality. 

[00:09:47] Lindsay: That's such an and practice to do it kind of gets you excited because you're actually stepping into it a little bit.

[00:09:52] Baby steps are always, you know, my recommendation starts small. If it feels very strange for you to do something like that, that's all [00:10:00] important. Okay. So we'll go with the example of the communicator. Do you find that many times when you. See that this is what they're here to do. That it is something that they've always wanted to do, and they just needed to hear that.

[00:10:13] And that kind of 

[00:10:14] Emily: solidifies it. A hundred percent. Yeah. So a lot of times what happens is when I do share these your unique DNA, energetic DNA it's a confirmation of sorts. A lot of times it's people that like affirming, like something that they've already known that was really deeply within them.

[00:10:30] And typically what I see and like when I go do a session with, with a client they're really in depth. So I go in and I do an energetic. I do energetic research. You know, it can go from four to, you know, five hours, even on my end, before I even hop on the call with a client. And when I got on a call, I'm explaining what came through energetically for them.

[00:10:56] And what I see typically is I get [00:11:00] information on who they are at soul level. So that's their energetic DNA. And I deliver that information to them. That's very confirming. That's very formative and it helps them really adjust and see the patterns of behaviors that are not in alignment with what they're truly here to be and do.

[00:11:18] Right. So it kind of allows a lot of the old behaviors and subconscious beliefs to start to rise to the surface. Okay. And the second part of our call is really moving through. Energetic blocks. Okay. So we all have energetic blocks and in different parts of different, different Ella, like when we're trying to rise up and change and evolve, we always have new new blocks that show up in our life.

[00:11:45] Right. So I help you understand what blocks energetically are showing up that are not allowing you to. Vital force energy. Now, vital force energy is the energy of creation itself. It's what you're meant [00:12:00] to receive to help you feel your most vital, fill the best and really create and be. A living being and your truest essence.

[00:12:10] Right? So when that's blocked, you can understand how you can start to feel exhausted drained. You're, you're, you're not feeling yourself. You can lose confidence, you can lose your, you know, obviously your self esteem. Self-trust a lot of these things are byproducts. By you having these energetic leaks or blocks within your profile.

[00:12:30] So what I do is I go through and help my clients understand what are these energetic blocks and subsequently like all of, a lot of times when I'm working with these business owners These blocks are hindering their growth to the, you know, 7, 8, 9 figure mark. And what can be really interesting is when I, I shine a light on these elements, it can.

[00:12:56] It can trigger something that shifts it [00:13:00] immediately and they, they actually grow substantially in a really rapid form. So it's really, really amazing. And I'll just explain a little bit about what a block might be and how they are created. Would you like. Yeah, I was going to ask 

[00:13:14] Lindsay: you that, so, perfect. 

[00:13:15] Emily: Okay, perfect.

[00:13:16] So let's stick with the example of somebody who is a divine communicator. Okay. So let's say that they are here to communicate, their words have substance, they have depth, and they're here to share their words with the world. Right. And let's say at the age of 12, they spoke up to their mother or father and.

[00:13:40] Voiced their opinion. Now their mom or dad did not like what they said. And they scolded them and said, never speak out again, never speak against me. So they begin to have a program in their mind saying, oh gosh, when I speak my truth or speak out, then. Not actually beneficial. It's not what [00:14:00] I'm supposed to do.

[00:14:01] And it's going to only mean that I'm going to get in trouble. Right. So they associate that and that creates a behavior change. Right. And so consciously. And it's something that they grow with as they go into adulthood. When I speak out I'm going to be punished. Right. So every time that they want to speak out, And speak their truth and they don't do that.

[00:14:30] That's working against their energetic DNA. What that's doing every single time is creating a block. And that block is just getting bigger and bigger and bigger because they're not activating their truest essence. Does that make sense? It makes all these blocks. Yeah. And these blocks are not there. Like it's, it's becoming a behavior that they're not implementing in their life and their business.

[00:14:58] So it's becoming really hard [00:15:00] for them to reach another level in their business, reach another level in their relationship because they don't even know that that blockage is there. So I help reveal these things that are. The barricades for it, their personal growth. I helped them clear it. I help them move through it and acknowledge that they're there.

[00:15:21] That's a big piece too, is like acknowledging and bringing consciousness to the instances where they have not spoken out. Right. And so that's really powerful work because they start to really take responsibility and take new action. And through that new action is that is how you shift vibrational states in the most profound way.

[00:15:44] I 

[00:15:44] Lindsay: remember doing work when I felt like I had those visual blocks in my head and it was just little tiny conversations or incidents that happened, you know, in school, growing up that were that I didn't even remember. [00:16:00] Were completely holding me back from really being myself. I've talked many times before how, what growing up, I was the quietest person in the room.

[00:16:09] I would not set up in front of my tiny little class, out my best friend standing beside me. I was terrified to speak. So it's funny that that's what I do all the time now. And it's just because you were a certain way when you were little, it doesn't mean that's who you have to be now, but it's so important to do that work, to see what.

[00:16:27] Like literally blocking you from moving forward. And it's, you know, whether you're just starting, this work is important when you're starting, you don't have to wait until you're at a certain dollar amount. That means nothing. If you feel like you're stuck, you have to remove what's in front of you. If you really care about moving forward.

[00:16:44] Right. Do you, do you 

[00:16:45] Emily: agree? A hundred percent. Yes. 100%. I think, I think it's really important to recognize one that we all have blocks and that's okay. And blockages don't necessarily mean that you're you're [00:17:00] damaged at all. It means that there are opportunities to really clear and move stuck energy. And, and to your perfect example.

[00:17:10] You were shy, meaning you probably create something in your past. I'd have to go into your record to understand deeply, but put something in your past, created a behavior where you felt like you couldn't share. Now you over time as you build consciousness and as you start to see different results show up in your life based off of new behavior patterns.

[00:17:32] For instance for you, you started speaking up and you probably saw abundance come in in the form of work, in the form of money. In the form of connecting with your clients are calling in your soul aligned clients, right? So every time you do that, That awareness around these new behaviors in the new results that you're, that are showing up as as your changing are, are perfect examples of, [00:18:00] of what can happen when you start to really recognize what your gift is.

[00:18:04] I'd be so interested to go in and find out what your energetic framework is, so that we could share that. But yeah, we'll have to do that. But you're right. It's for it's for all levels, you know? And you know, I work with established entrepreneurs because a lot of times, like you probably know as well, like you get to a plateau in your business, you know, where you've, you've implemented.

[00:18:30] All the funnels, all the systems and the sales and the marketing. And you want to take that next level, but you're feeling really maxed out. You have to manage your team, you have to manage you know, everything that's happening and you don't know how to get to that next level. I help you really. Stand, what is that barrier, right?

[00:18:50] That ceiling that you're at. How can you reallocate your energy? And sometimes that means adjusting your systems, adjusting your programs, adjusting [00:19:00] your team. I actually do I do readings for teams and help them understand how to adjust our higher even For people who are on the team and make sure that we're all holding that vision very close to our hearts.

[00:19:14] And we have people that are working with us to make that vision a reality. So sometimes we don't even realize that our businesses are a, an extension energetic entity, an extension of us. And everybody who contributes to the business is what we call a contributor. Right. And their energy is going into the business as well.

[00:19:36] So it's really important to make sure that the energetics of your team are really aligned as well. Because the customers and clients on the other side are receiving their energy too. So I help people refine and recalibrate the energy of the team to make sure that everybody is in the right roles and that have the, the right Understandings of their responsibilities [00:20:00] so that they feel really empowered when they show up.

[00:20:03] And so it's really beautiful to see that, you know, when you can synchronize your team, how fast you can scale and grow. And, you know, also I help people clear. We talk about clearing blockages. I help people clear before launches. So like if you're looking to launch and you're scared, you know? Oh, cause there's always a little, yeah.

[00:20:23] Before you, before you launch something I help people really launch with ease and, and to help them confidently move forward because we, we clear any blocks that are in the way, and we refine the launch process to make sure that you're going to end up success on the successful on the other side. So really, really cool stuff.

[00:20:41] It's it's, it's it's really It feels like it's very niche because who, you know, everyone in the business world thinks about, you know, the tactics and that and such, but you'll be surprised to see how many, how many high-level entrepreneurs and, you know, [00:21:00] Mo some other people that are not even high level entrepreneurs are really interested in this work to really go deeper.

[00:21:06] Lindsay: I think it's important to, to almost referred as it's like a maintenance work as you grow your business, it's not like, oh, I did my, my energy work I'm done now. That's not what that is. It's not like you work out in the morning and okay, I'm done working out. I did that moving on. That's not how it is. It's, it's a maintenance.

[00:21:24] I also loved how you pointed out people who are higher level entrepreneurs. They have their programs up and running. People are coming in, everything's running. Smooth. And it's Al it's almost literally smooth. They've gotten to that level and now they're just like smooth gliding and they want more, but how do they get more when they're just kind of maintaining, maintaining the good stuff?

[00:21:47] I think that is a very common thing. So I think that's a great red flag. If you want to say it that way to do the work, do you agree? 

[00:21:56] Emily: Absolutely. And, and that's just, ed is like, when [00:22:00] you reach that place and you have this financial responsibility to, you know, responsibility doesn't necessarily mean that you have to hand over your freedom.

[00:22:11] Now, as entrepreneurs, we. Thrive with freedom, right? Like we'd got into this because we love to be free and be creatively free and, and work wherever we want to work, or, you know, have the ability to do what we want to do. And you know, I'm sure most entrepreneurs will tell you like entrepreneur, you're working a lot more than you did when you were in the corporate world.

[00:22:37] But all that's to say that it doesn't need to be this or that it can be both. You can have the high level results while having the freedom. And I think so often we get caught up in, in being so maxed out in running our business, that we lose sight of the creative freedom [00:23:00] that we got in business for in the first place.

[00:23:02] So. It's it's really beautiful to, to witness my clients feeling so good again about doing this work because when they feel good about doing the work, it's a trickle down effect. Everyone that they touch starts feeling better as well. So I think it's, I think it's also owning the fact that. You are the CEO.

[00:23:25] So you get to choose what, how you want to allocate your time and your energy. And if you want to be more time rich, we can make that happen. It just takes a little bit of energetic clearing work and really noticing where you want to, where you want to drive, where you want to, where you want to put your energy and create.

[00:23:45] Yeah. Just 

[00:23:46] Lindsay: because someone else has a life that looks pretty to you doesn't mean that's how your life has to be. Either you design your own life. And like Emily said, you're the CEO, it's your job to make those decisions. And when you [00:24:00] feel really good, it's almost like breathing a sigh of relief onto your whole business, and you really have to make every aspect of it, a way of something that feels joyful to you.

[00:24:09] If it does not feel joyful, I mean, that's the highest feeling we could possibly have. Don't continue doing it. You got to make those changes because you created this and you have to, you have to maintain it. You deserve it. And so does your best. 

[00:24:21] Emily: Right. And I just want to say to the audience that I wasn't always there.

[00:24:27] Right. I wasn't always as happy. I wasn't always really this time rich, like I just had another baby and it was one of the moments where I like looked at her and I was thinking. I have to make more time to spend with my child, my, my two girls, like I have to, I want to spend time with them. And my first reaction was, oh my gosh, like, how am I going to make this work?

[00:24:48] How am I going to maintain my, my profit, if I'm going to be spending more time with my family. And that's really where I started to stretch. I own beliefs and [00:25:00] say, actually it's possible. Actually. It's more possible. It's for me to even think of new ways that I can bring in more money and work less.

[00:25:10] It's possible. It's when we start to notice ourselves stopping ourselves thinking, no, that's not possible. I encourage you to look into that and say, actually there is a way, let me find one. Right. And so w you know, it wasn't until recently too, that I was ashamed of, I have a lot of shame around being.

[00:25:32] Like exposing the fact on social media and on my blog that I liked nice things. And I felt like I was, it was not right to share that I like beauty and fashion and traveling. While I was trying to talk about, you know, energetics and business. And I didn't think that the two worlds could blend and it wasn't until I started owning all parts of me and [00:26:00] remembering that I'm multidimensional.

[00:26:01] I have so many. Facets that compliment and really bring me into who I am. So when I owned that, when I started showing up and unapologetically saying, I like nice things. And the truth of the matter is, is in order to get the nice things and be time rich and spend time with my family and travel. I have to prioritize management, managing my energy, and I know without a shadow of a doubt that that energy.

[00:26:30] Is the key component. I mean, I've worked on my mindset for years and that's such, such a key contributor as well, but the energetics I'm telling you is, is what has really moved the needle the most. 

[00:26:47] Lindsay: I think when all the mindset books start to sound the same, you know, you're ready for something else. I think that's a big thing too.

[00:26:54] And I love that. You said you were multidimensional. We can have the life that we want. You know, I don't run [00:27:00] my business all day long either. I have a corporate job that I get to work from home as well with my kids. And so I designed my business to make that all work and we all have no one has more power than women to make it all happen.

[00:27:12] So you don't have to do this. You can be. All who you want to be, and you can share it with the world too. Once you do that, you'll find that people who can really connect with you because they can pull from those, those little tiny things that you were like, gosh, should I share that? I like based things or that I like to spend time in the garden, share those things, because you're going to connect with some amazing people that way.

[00:27:33] Emily: Yes. And I think Lindsay, you should share a lot about you being a homeschool teacher now, like that is, you are such a super mom. I'm telling you, I'm just so envious of how you do it all. It's amazing. I'm going to, I'm going to need to call you and my girls are older to get some tips. 

[00:27:52] Lindsay: Please do I am not a professional, but I'm doing it.

[00:27:56] And I think that's what we just had a conversation before we started the interview. [00:28:00] How homeschooling is exactly like building your business? You are, you are soaking up all the information and the key to homeschooling everything in life, building everything. Just simplify it and make it a way that feels really good for you.

[00:28:13] When it starts to feel dreadful or you start to procrastinate on things, there's something wrong and you have to, and you gotta figure it out. It's your job. So we have beautiful people like Emily to help us go to the next level and help us. So Emily, why don't you share with us how we can find out more, how to work with you and how to find you on the internet?

[00:28:32] Emily: Yes. My website is EmilyKthomas.com And there you can actually see my blog, my podcast, my insight on an aligned energetics is the business that I helped, you know, we've been talking about so you can learn more about. That there, and you can also set up a time to chat. If you want to learn more about your unique, energetic framework and how to remove these [00:29:00] blockages and really Excel in life and business.
