122: Turning Big Thinking Into an Amazing Life and Business with Emelie Russell
Are you investing in yourself the way you need to based on where you’re at right now?
You might be stuck in investing in industry or problem-specific coaching, which isn’t a bad idea. But the thought of exploring the option of life and business coaching together may not have even crossed your radar.
That’s where Emelie Russell found herself when I hired her in April 2022 to be my videographer for a live event I was doing. She’d invested in specific coaching for her profession but had never thought broader than that, until I asked her about it.
You might see a bit of yourself in Emelie. Within a few years, she took her wedding videographer hobby and turned it into a thriving six-figure business while growing her family of three kids. And today, she’s here to share how coaching has helped her shift her mindset and approach to her life and business.
In this episode of Time to Level Up, you’ll see how coaching can help you redefine what work-life balance and asking for help looks like for you as a parent and entrepreneur. I’ll also teach you about the success triangle I use with a lot of clients and the three beliefs that, when added together, really show what you think you’re worth.

Quotes from this Episode of Time to Level Up

“Emily invested in a wedding videography-specific mastermind. But in order to be successful in all aspects of life, she also needed to change her thinking and some of her actions in how she was integrating it all together.” - Andrea Liebross
“Having a workday routine kind of flows into having a routine at home. So I’m less stressed thinking about all the work I have to do and actually schedule time for all the other stuff I want to do.” - Emelie Russell
