I help busy folks peacefully accomplish the goals that will give them the life they secretly want––in 6 months or less.

"You should totally teach a class for Wellness Week."

⬆ My coworker said that to me back in 2018. I threw up in my mouth a little bit. (TMI? Maybe.)

I'd taught exactly ONE yoga class to fellow trainees who were basically obligated to be nice to me.

My inner critic had excuses ready before she finished her sentence. I didn't feel ready. What would people think?

I said yes anyway. One class, not a career change, I reminded myself.

Spoiler alert: they asked me to teach twice a month. I kept it up for 5 years.

But my favorite part wasn't the class. It was the conversations after, rolling up mats and hearing how people's lives were shifting.

I followed that nudge into a coaching certification. And that's where the business that fit me was born.

If I'd waited to feel ready, I'd still be telling that coworker "maybe next year."

Plenty of us have our version of the rolled-up yoga mat. The pottery wheel. The sourdough starter named Betty. The sketchbook on the nightstand.

If yours keeps quietly asking to become something more, my free talk at the Hobby to More Summit (Oct 1-4) is for you.

💁🏻‍♀️"15 Minutes to Your Secret Dream: The Soulful Way to Turn Your Hobby Into a Business"

I'm walking through my method, The Fulfillment Flywheel™, the biggest traps in each phase, and my Hot Takes on how to fix them.

No scary leap. No 5am alarm. No five-year business plan required.

If I got a dollar every time a client sighed and said, "Emily, I love this stuff, but I'm just not an intuitive person"...

I'd have enough to buy us all a round of bougie bath salts.

It's one of the most common, sneaky lies hard-working, busy women tell themselves.

We've been conditioned to believe intuition is a rare, mystical superpower reserved for gurus on mountaintops or people who meditate four hours a day.

So if you live in spreadsheets or need three days to analyze a big decision, it's easy to assume you missed out on the "intuition gene."

But it's just not true. As a human, you ARE intuitive, period.

We just spend so much of our day triaging the 19+ open tabs in our brains that we miss the subtle whispers of our body. The gut twist. The out-of-the-blue thought. The goosebumps.

They're there. Just buried under the noise.

So you aren't "un-intuitive." You're just living in a culture that taught you to ignore your body.

Intuition isn't a magical talent. It's a biological birthright.

When you stop trying to "think" your way into being intuitive, and give your body a safe space to release stress, your inner compass turns back on automatically. ✨

That's why LaRue and I facilitate Metamorphosis, a beginner-friendly breathwork ceremony, to help you release stress, reconnect to yourself, and receive insights.

You don't need to know how to meditate "right," and you don't need years of spiritual practice. We use a simple, science-backed breath pattern, a guided Oracle card prompt, and Shamanic journeying with live drumming to bypass your logical mind and drop you straight into your body.

👉Join us both in-person: Saturday, Sept 19th, 3-5pm at Peacebank Yoga in Redwood City, CA.
👉 Or just me virtually: Monday, Sept 21st, 10-11:30am Pacific / 1-2:30pm Eastern / 6-7:30pm London on Google Meet. 🔗 in bio.

😮‍💨😮‍💨 Whether you’re juggling summer camp drop-off and pick-up mayhem… the burning desire to close all 12 work tabs and write “get f*cked” in your team’s Slack before logging off until July 6 😂… or the onset of Mercury Rx as you try (and try) to make progress on your novel… we got you.

🦋 Come reset and release in a space just for you. Your nervous system and spirit will thank you ✨

The most self-valuing choice is NOT what is "nice" or expected of you, whether it’s making polite conversation with a toxic ex or attending a networking event you don't want to go to.

But that’s just the thing, isn’t it.

Going against social expectations can be intense and requires both:

1) Clarity on your true needs
2) Nervous system and emotional resilience to honor your needs no matter what

We explored both in The Compass Club this week, inspired by a powerful astrological event that took place this past Friday.

Because when we’re brave enough to say YES to ourselves vs everyone else or whatever “polite” programming we were taught as kids… that sparks true healing.

That’s what the stars are inviting us to consider this week: what are our true needs and what is asking for healing?

This past Friday, there was a major astrological event - a celestial body (Chiron) known as the “wounded healer” changed Zodiac signs. Now for the first time in 50 years, it’s in the sign of Ta**us, which is all about self-worth, the body, and our relationship to the material world.

We dove into all the particulars on our live call in The Compass Club this Monday, including some powerful reflection prompts to explore the impact on us individually.

Because whether or not you’re an astro nerd like me, I find that what’s happening in the stars can help us make meaning of what’s happening on the ground.

Here’s a sneak peek of 2 journaling prompts we used in case it serves you too:

✨What is one outdated rule or expectation about your body or how you’re “supposed” to show up that you are ready to release this season?

✨What’s one new agreement or way to honor your true needs?

And if you love the idea of exploring questions like these in rhythm with the seasons as you get clear on what you really want and finally create the capacity to do it…we’d love to have you join us inside The Compass Club.

I can't tell you how many times I finally get enough time to sit down and work on my romantasy novel, excited about my idea of how my main character will face her biggest fear...

But then stare at my Google Doc wondering if I should bother.

Whether it's writing, painting, photography, or drafting a cover letter for a job application... the inner critic worms its way into our minds and blocks creativity.

That's why I said yes to speaking at the free Confident Creator Retreat (May 28-June 2).

Imagine wrapping up a virtual retreat from your couch and feeling clear on your next step. No overwhelm. No second-guessing. Just ready.

That's what the Confident Creator Retreat is built to give you.

You'll walk away with practical tools for beating creative doubt and a real sense of direction for your secret dream.

No theory for theory's sake. Real, usable takeaways.

It's free, it's online, and it starts tomorrow. 😍

And the best part?
👉🏻 You can catch my 20-minute workshop, Intuition Is Your Creative Superpower.
I'll show you how to stop second-guessing your intuition by using a powerful channeling practice that'll make your projects feel more aligned, fun, and effortless.

You can return to it whenever you need a boost!

See you there?

What if exhaustion isn’t a failure but a message? And what if your next chapter doesn’t require burning your life down, but listening to your body?

I’m thrilled to share this powerful podcast interview I did over on Midlife Strategies for Badass Women hosted by ✨

In it, we discuss how women can reconnect with their bodies, follow the breadcrumbs of curiosity, and experiment their way to purpose without pressure.

Wanna listen?

Tune in on your favorite platform and then comment to share what breadcrumbs (or word / intention for the year!) you are going to start following 👇

Mine is “Effortless Momentum” ❤️‍🔥

Confession: Most of the goal-setting workshop invites I'm seeing in my inbox make me wanna barf. 🤢

I mean, can we ditch traditional goal setting already?

SMART goals and kanban boards may have gotten you success in your professional career…

But: if you want your secret dream to claw its way out from under that pile of “shoulds” and to-dos, you gotta do something different.

And I’m NOT talking about a vision board splattered with random magazine clippings that look pretty but don’t work.

(Because let’s be real, last year’s vision board died in a drawer sometime back in March. 💀 RIP.)

Here's what we'll do instead...

🎨 Word of the Year: Intuitive Art & Strategy Experience
🗓 January 5th, 10-11am PST / 1-2pm EST / 6-7pm GMT
