What’s More to Your Life all about?

More to Your Life is a daily column about freedom, exploration, life in general, and creating work and a life you actually like. From your risk-taker and big dreamer friend, Emily.

It’s full of anecdotes and sometimes funny thoughts about life—dating, work, AI, freedom, money, travel, simplifying, exploration, talking with strangers, and the occasional, non-pushy recommendation.

In a world saturated with advice and life/productivity hacks, we need more storytelling and talk about life, living, and being human. Don’t you think?

The column is delivered to your inbox every Monday-Friday. Subscribe to get your first one starting tomorrow.

You’ll love it here if…

You are a dreamer and a builder, and you’ve got THINGS TO DO.

You crave substance over posturing, growth over comfort, and creating over consuming.

You love stuff that inspires and celebrates more living, more freedom, and more fun.

You’ve got cool things to be building and this column is here to add some life to your inbox, make you think, laugh occasionally, and spur you to take more action on your big dreams.

All while appreciating and cultivating a life you like right now.

You’re done hustling, and you’re done waiting. Am I right? Yes, yes, I am.

About Me

I’m Emily Burnett—a writer and entrepreneur who is basically always thinking about the intersection of life, money, work, faith and fun.

I quit my comfortable tech job in 2022 for an early mid-life rewrite—working on my financial coaching business, traveling solo for 2 years, talking with strangers—and lots of writing. I fell in complicated love with uncertainty.

But that wasn’t my first big leap. Nope—I’ve quit, rebuilt, risked, and recovered multiple times. And I’ve learned that taking the leap is always worth what you discover.

Home-base is near Salt Lake City, UT. I read avidly and widely, love Jesus, being outside, and playing pickleball. And I can’t help but be fascinated by true crime.


I’d love to have you join me as we all make even more of our lives. Subscribe today—the first one lands in your inbox tomorrow.
