Story

So, where did it all start?

PS If you can't pronounce Workzbe..blame this guy.
He named it. 😉

In 2018, Emily Elrod was sitting on her front porch with her then-8-year-old son. They were talking about the 'what-ifs' of life and imagining a future world with flying cars and real-life Pokemon. In the middle of the discussion, her son asked a very impactful question that Emily will never forget:

"What if you could be a human being instead of a human always working?"

Emily didn't know if he could sense her exhaustion and burnout (even though she had just received a reward for being a top 10 wellness practitioner in the nation) OR the struggle of constantly doing more to "be more" resulting in working 60-70hrs a week OR that she just wasn't a present mother anymore. But whatever it was, Workzbe was born that day.
