Creating Your Own Personal Board of Directors

In this episode, Angie talks about how we all need to know the important players are in our life who can support us. From doctors, dentists, and lawyers to coaches, therapists, and friends, we can choose our advisory team,  those who we can talk to about the intimate details of our lives. Angie refers to those people as our own personal board of directors. She says it is important for us to know who those people are so when a crisis comes along, we can just pick up the phone and know who to call for help.

Angie also talks about the pandemic and how during this time many of us are slowing down and reevaluating what is happening in our lives. She believes that the purpose of this transformation is for society to grow as a whole and to raise consciousness for everyone.

“It’s not going to be some big mandate that changes our culture, it is going to be what each one of us do individually. And therefore, if we have work to be done, now is the time to do it. It is a collective healing.” – Angie Swartz

About Emily Harman, the Host of The Onward Podcast

Emily’s journey began when she attended the U.S. Naval Academy. She says she felt a need to please others and she learned to act the way she felt was expected of her. Although she was a confident overachiever at work, she suffered in her personal life as she was married to someone who was verbally abusive. After having children, she got the courage to get out of the marriage. She remarried and divorced a second time, still feeling unfulfilled and not able to be true to who she really was.

After feeling such unfulfillment she ended up retiring and creating the Onward Podcast. She says she learned the most valuable tool along the way, “How to listen to the guidance of my inner voice, my higher self, my authentic self, to create a roadmap for an authentic and fulfilling life.” Emily is now pursuing her dreams and living her life with confidence and she uses the Onward Podcast to help others do the same.
