Welcome back to Emily’s Life Plan for the Week, a weekly newsletter where I share my personal notes and recap every little detail from my previous week’s videos (follow me on tiktok, youtube, instagram, and twitter @emilymariko)!
You can expect a new email in your inbox every Sunday at 6am PST! The posts will start with my weekly overview and get more and more specific as you scroll down. Headers link to the corresponding TikTok video, and anything else underlined is also a link. If you’re looking for something in particular, chances are it will be all the way at the bottom in the FAQ section!
