Emily Tells All Map & Resource Guide

Now for my gift to all who stuck it out with us through these two seasons. We’ve created an “Emily Tells All” Central Florida Resource Guide and Map that highlights all local agencies, organizations, and companies interviewed on the show. The searchable guide is divided into general categories to maximize efficiency. Click on the associated links to get help, make donations and volunteer with your favorite organizations. The map helps you find organizations in your area of central Florida and each site has a categorical icon for easy identification. You can download the resource guide and open the map by selecting the links below in the description.

I can’t believe we’ve made it to the last episode of the year. To celebrate I’m answering questions most commonly asked on the set of “Emily Tells All.” After answering these questions I have a special resource to share with you guys. The end of December’s often used as a time of reflection and planning, a time to look back on our past year and create goals for the new one. And make sure you stick until the end for a sneak peak footage of season three. So without further ado, let’s get started with some FAQs.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why did you start “Emily Tells All?”

In March of 2021, I decided to start the show “Emily Tells All” to share with central Floridians what is available in our community. And this ranges from government services, support from nonprofit organizations to entertainment and cultural events. On occasion, we also interview subject experts to uncover ways to live safe and informed lives. As an Orange County Commissioner, I realized that many constituents don’t know where to turn in times of need. With the show, my hope is that we can all learn about organizations and agencies working hard every day to support individuals going through any situation. I can’t do it all, but if we’re able to learn about who can our needs are better met.

How many episodes have you filmed so far? How many have aired?

At the airing of this episode we will have had 82 episodes aired in 135 filmed. What is the most challenging part of “Emily Tells All?” Well, the most challenging part is getting people to watch the show. We definitely have been struggling with getting viewership so I need your help to share the show with others as much as possible. Share it with your friends, family, and neighbors. There’s information here for everyone.

What do you love most about “Emily Tells All?”

Well, I love to learn and so does my staff. So we are definitely having a great time going out there and talking to experts and learning everything that we can and things that we didn’t know that we didn’t know. And we’re hoping that you get just as much out of it as we do.

Which episode topic were you the least familiar with before filming?

That would have to be Dialectical Behavioral Therapy which I still can’t say right in one take. But yes, that one. I was like, what are we talking about? What does that mean? If you want to learn more about that you can go check out the episode. It’s about being your best self, so go check it out.

What topics do you have a soft spot for?

I have to say my soft spot is sustainability and environmental topics. I’m very passionate about it as you can see from our episode. Make sure you go and check out our sustainability episode.
