🎙️ How to Work Smarter, Not Harder – Emily Austen’s Success Secrets
Ever feel like you're running on a treadmill of hustle culture, sprinting toward success but never quite getting there? We’ve all been there—rewarding ourselves for late nights, glorifying burnout, and measuring our worth by how busy we are. But what if I told you that working harder isn’t the answer?
In this episode of The Silly Little Girls Club, I sit down with the brilliant Emily Austen, founder of Emerge PR and author of the bestselling book Smarter, to unpack the truth about productivity, business growth, and ditching the toxic hustle mentality for good.
Emily started her PR empire at just 22 years old, navigating betrayals, bad hires, and the steepest learning curve imaginable. Fast forward to today, she’s running a 30-person agency, has a chart-topping book, and has cracked the code on how to work less but achieve more.
We’re talking business betrayals, burnout recovery, and the myth of "doing it all." If you've ever wondered how to scale a business without losing your mind, this episode is your cheat sheet for success—minus the stress.
So grab your coffee (or your martini, I won’t judge), and let’s get into it. 💡✨
