The podcast host said:
That’s what I’m struggling with right now commercially, I keep going because it’s always been my easy choice because I don’t have to focus on anything else. As far as business, I’ll go ahead, I’ll do my podcast, Sassy, I’ll do everything. But personally, there is a level of guilt associated with moving on with my life. Thinking about mom and dad not being around for certain life events is like thinking, “I can’t get on with my life.” Until I know there are, I can’t get married. I can’t have children.

For me, eventually, one day, they’ll be part of it. Dad told me that when I start feeling bad about myself, it’s like, “Hey, look what Emmy’s going through.” Dad said, ‘I may not be here in front of you, but I’m still alive. I always fight. You don’t have to go a day without talking to me.
