Conversations will air every Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday.-------In the latest episode of A Perfectly Imperfect Union, we travel to The Palmetto State and sit down with Emma Ambrose.Emma grew up in Sag Harbor, New York, and now calls Charleston home, though she joined this conversation from the Bahamas mid-move into her first apartment.Emma built a social media career from scratch, selling over $700,000 in her first eight months on TikTok Shop, and she's now launching her own jewelry line, Popped by Ambrose, while also pursuing a real estate license.Her take on America centers on freedom and permission, the encouragement to chase what you want even if it means reinventing yourself, something she watched her own father do when he left a Wall Street career to become a chef.You can follow her on TikTok @emmambroseeAnd her question for you and our next guest is:What's a moment in your life you wanted to change, not for anybody else, but for yourself?Share your thoughts in the comments and share this episode with someone you love.You can now download my Pause Breathe Reflect App with Microdose EQ for FREE in Apple’s App Store or Google Play.
