"When You Believe in Yourself it's like MAGIC" with Emmie Levy on The Rose Grows Podcast

Описание: What happens when you truly believe in yourself, even when no one is responding and the dream feels bigger than anything you have done before?

In this episode, Rayna Rose sits down with Emmie Levy, creator of The Emmie Effect, for an inspiring conversation about confidence, self belief, journaling, manifestation, and learning how to keep going when doubt shows up.

Emmie shares real stories from her journey, including how she emailed her way into the Super Bowl Halftime Show, what it took to work for the New York Knicks, and how she ran the NYC Half Marathon despite never seeing herself as a runner. She opens up about anxiety, negative self talk, and the mindset shifts that helped her change the way she speaks to herself and shows up in her life.

This conversation is full of practical tools you can use right away, from journaling for clarity, to flipping the script from “what if I can’t” to “what if I can,” to learning how to talk to yourself like your best friend. Emmie also shares grounding techniques she uses when she feels overwhelmed and why belief has to come before proof.

If you have ever struggled with self doubt, felt stuck waiting for things to happen, or needed a reminder that you are capable of more than you think, this episode is for you.

When you believe in yourself, it’s like magic.
