Emily Skye

It’s all about communication. Connect with the people you look up to, and surround yourself with healthy minded people who support you.

I know I love hearing from people and connecting with them. Most people on social media do. That’s why we’re on there – to hear and be heard.

Today it’s so much easier to communicate with people you look up to.

On this episode of School of Greatness we are joined by fitness model Emily Skye.

Emily, like a lot of us, felt out of place. She struggled and wound up in some really dark places and bad relationships. Once she let go of the pressures society was putting on her, and really started becoming the person she wanted to be, her life changed for the best.

Today she is a fitness role model with millions of followers who is inspiring people globally to love their bodies and pursue fitness for health’s sake, not image.
