    About Me

    I'm a mama of two and a Revillager who believes we can be the village again. Once a proud "do-it-myselfer", I've surrendered, through motherhood, into the remembering of our interdependent nature.

    I now weave my personal and professional experience to support other families in creating the villages they were meant to parent within — wearing hat of coach, mentor, facilitator, strategist, writer, visionary, organizer, community builder, student, and teacher, depending on what the space is calling for.

    I'm also the host and producer of This is How We Care, a podcast that amplifies visions of a world we want our kids to inherit.

    • 🪴 Uproot any deep-seeded beliefs and patterns that could be blocking the friendships you want

    • 💡Clarify what friendship actually looks like for you, so you can recognize it when you see it

    • 💕Identify opportunities to call in and nurture the kindred connections you are truly longing for

    What others are saying:

    “I LOVE THIS RESOURCE SO MUCH!! I was surprised to find that it kicked up some big emotions for me around friendship I didn't realize I had. It was helpful to identify that, realize it's one of my blocks, and start to re-write the story.
    I reached out to a new connection and made plans for Friday, and made plans to reciprocate a dinner party for newer friends who'd hosted us a couple times in December. Feeling very energized, inspired, and hopeful after this exercise! Thank you so much for sharing this Emily!!" — CV
