Host, Emily Williams is a success expert, author, speaker, and CEO of multiple brands.

After falling into a quarter-life crisis and struggling through a string of low-paying jobs (including serving up lattes at Starbucks), she finally decided it was time to follow her heart. So she packed her bags, moved to London (where she knew no one), and launched her own coaching business, I Heart My Life (without knowing if she’d ever make a dime). And that’s when her whole life changed course.

In her first month in business, Emily earned $442. She then went on to hit 6 figures before her 30th birthday, and—after just 18 months—successfully scaled what she'd started to a multi-million dollar empire.

Today, she remains the CEO of I Heart My Life, which has evolved into a media, educational and lifestyle brand through which she carries out her mission of helping thousands of women worldwide to create a life better than their dreams.

The guest on this episode is Jean-François Lappas, the co-founder of Wabya. 

Jean-François Lappas understands the feeling that there must be something more to life than the endless cycle of sleep, eat, work, repeat. He’s been there. Burned out, he left his corporate job in the midst of the pandemic and began searching for answers. Along the way, he discovered that pursuing his own goals—not someone else’s—was the key to finding genuine fulfillment.

He also realized that coaching provides the ideal path to achieve this sense of purpose. Now, three years later, he has joined forces with a community of dedicated professionals, united in a mission to make coaching accessible and affordable for 1 billion people by 2033. At Wabya they believe it isn’t about self-improvement; it’s about self-realization. Discover coaching. Discover yourself.
