Emily Scott James is one of those people who radiates joy. You feel it instantly when you scroll her Instagram, and you definitely feel it in today’s conversation. This was our very first time meeting, but we’ve actually been DMing for years (way back before she became a content creator). Now, she has over 700K Instagram followers, a feed full of hilarious, heartwarming videos (have you seen the bathtime salon series?!), and a brand-new full-time career born out of dancing next to a moving car.

In this episode, Emily and I talk about:

- Her past life as a competitive dancer and a “So You Think You Can Dance” alum

- Why she left her corporate job of 10 years

- How motherhood reconnected her with her joy, confidence, and creativity

- The boundaries she’s set around money, sex, and family content

- And what she’s dreaming up next 👀

Emily’s energy is infectious and her story is one so many women will relate to, especially if you’ve ever had to reinvent yourself or rediscover who you are. Whether you’re a mom, a creator, or just a fellow glass-half-full type of gal, I think you’ll love this one.
