Turning Busyness to Magic through Bite-Sized Self-Care with Emily Schickli

June 08, 2022 • Anna Lucas with Emily Schickli • Season 1 • Episode 7

In this episode of Spark Connection, I am joined by my friend Emily Schickli. Emily is a triple-certified Life Coach, Yoga and Meditation Teacher, and Reiki Master with a Masters in English and Curriculum Design from the University of Chicago. In our conversation, Emily shares her definition of self-care, and talks about some of the basic psychological drivers that play a role in practicing self-care that works. She reads an excerpt of her newly released journal/planner (order yours now!) and leads me through a mini coaching session centered around moving from intention to action.

Emily has led workshops for companies like Google, Microsoft, Course Hero, and more, and loves guiding stressed out humans to turn busyness into magic through the power of bite-sized self-care. Through her coaching programs, her clients have doubled their energy and increased their ability to manage their time by 1.5x on average––resulting in things like promotions, deeper relationships, and a renewed sense of self. When not coaching, she’s playing with her Havanese pup, Mac, and designing her own Oracle deck in the SF Bay Area.
