Hey! I’m EMILY
AND MY MISSION IN LIFE IS TO HELP YOU MULTIPLY
YOUR POWER AND (OFFICIALLY) STEP INTO YOUR VILLAIN ERA
Born on the west coast, raised in New England, and finally embracing all the parts of me I held back for so long,
here are a few rules that I’m currently living by…
→ Weird is welcome. All of you, all the time.
→ Show me real or show me nothing.
→ If you have something to say, say it with your whole chest.
→ Stay true to your mission and values, no matter how high the goals.
My life’s mission is to help women step into and own their feminine power while unapologetically running the hell out of their lives, careers, and relationships. But it wasn’t always like this. Not that long ago, I spent most of my days convinced that something was wrong with me - and I spent a lot of time trying to figure out how to achieve more and do better so I could ‘fix’ myself once and for all.
spoiler alert: there was nothing to fix (other than the incessant need
to PROVE that to others)
After my parents’ divorce, my mom put me into therapy. I hated it (at the time). But it was the start of what later snowballed into a continuous cycle of obtaining degrees, certifications, and trainings; all while trying to get to the bottom of what was “wrong” with me, in an effort to “fully heal”, and finally find some semblance of self-worth.
Growing up, I often felt like the odd one out. I didn’t talk a lot; I was afraid to. I was desperate for validation (which echoed the fact that I grew up under a shadow of constant comparison and wildly unrealistic expectations
(an A was never good enough when there was such a thing as an A+)).
Sound familiar?
I’ll spare you the rest of the messy details, but fast forward to today where I now take pride in the fact that I rarely color inside the lines (unless I want to) …
instead I am a FREAK for helping women liberate themselves from money shtuff, imposter syndrome, and the constant anxiety of being judged (and compared) for living their best lives without apology.
As a confidence coach, I know the power of radical growth through both formal training and real-world experience. The crossover between my academic background and professional certifications has given me the opportunity to sharpen the perfect set of tools (which I now pull out with precision in order to guide you most effectively).
as a woman who was once weighed down by the heavy burden of others' opinions and my own self-doubt, I bring more than just knowledge to the table
I also bring a deep level of understanding, curiosity, creativity in curating the best, most unique answer for you (+ FROM you),
and a personal commitment to helping you find
the peace & freedom that has always resided in you.
growing up traditional therapy was a huge part
of my life …
I spent hundreds of hours with my head buried in self-help books and my ass firmly parked on a therapist’s couch. To say I was obsessed would have been an understatement; it was the ultimate love-affair/hyper-fixation.
Over the years though I could not deny the steadily increasing, deeply unsettled feeling that was taking over my body. Sometimes it was an underlying “ugh” and other times it was an all encompassing, full-body guttural scream that came from the deepest depths of my soul.
Eventually I reached a point where I realized that traditional therapy was not going to cut it any longer. So many versions of therapy are about helping people feel better (but only within the confines of the socially constructed boxes we define as “better”) and I knew I needed more than “better”.
I didn’t just want “better”, I wanted someone, something to help me learn how to get comfortable with the parts of me that didn’t need “better”; the parts whose power was on the most outside fringes of anything that even closely resembled “better”.
Eventually I found my way into the embrace of alternative therapeutic spaces whose aim was no longer to make me into a glowing version of my “healed” self but instead allow me to find (and see) the strength in showing up just as I am, the toothpaste-on-my-zits warts-and-all version of me who’s able to live her life in full authentically messy glory.
It’s been a long road. A very long road. But in many ways, I wouldn’t change a damn thing because it means that the energy behind my work is real. It’s RAW. It has so much power and strength and oomph behind it because I’ve had to knock down (internal) doors and climb over walls in order to get here and show up in this space like this, for you and with you (and for and with myself).
If any of that resonated with you, I invite you to join me and let me walk this next chunk of your journey with you. I know I’ll be able to shine a light on the part of your path where the amplification of your success and your deeply rooted mission go hand-in-hand.
I can’t wait to hear from you.
You can only truly become uninhibited (financially, physically, emotionally)
when you learn how to acknowledge
the beautiful work in progress
that you are right now.
(And always will be). This is the real glow up.
Welcome to your next season.
Welcome to your badass business.
