Hi, I'm Em 

Founder of INNER REVOLUTION & GRLPWRDEN

I guide emotionally intelligent women who want to reclaim their power, heal their patterns, and build a life aligned with their truth.

Emily is a mindfulness-based transformational coach, writer, and educator. She is the creator of Inner Revolution and the Love Letters newsletter, blending psychology, spirituality, and somatic awareness to guide women in reclaiming their voice, breaking free from conditioning, and building lives rooted in their truth. She is also the founder of @GRLPWRDEN, a community and platform that supports young women in connection, personal growth, and empowerment.

After navigating her own awakening through loss and self-discovery, Emily developed a grounded and soulful approach that helps women heal relational patterns, embody authentic power, and rise into their full potential.

Her writing has been featured in Elephant Journal, Tiny Buddha, DivorcedMoms.com, and FilterFreeParents.com. She holds a Master’s degree in Women’s Studies from Old Dominion University, certifications in Positive Psychology from UC Berkeley Extension, and training in Rational Emotive Behavioral Therapy (REBT), Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR), and trauma-informed care. 

A mother, writer, and Humanities professor, Emily brings both wisdom and relatability to her coaching—combining evidence-based methods, mindfulness practices, and intuitive insight to help women live with clarity, confidence, and self-trust. Her work is for women who are ready to rise, take responsibility for their growth, and step fully into the lives they are meant to lead.

My Journey

I grew up surrounded by strong women—mothers, sisters, friends—who carried entire worlds on their backs. Women who gave and gave, often without being asked, believing that selflessness was the cost of love. I watched them silence their own needs to keep the peace, to hold families together, to be “good” in the eyes of everyone but themselves.

I promised I wouldn’t lose myself that way.

But over time, without even noticing it, I did.
Despite all my awareness and good intentions, I woke up one day feeling a quiet ache inside—disconnected, exhausted, unsure of who I was beyond the roles I had been performing for so long. It was a humbling truth to face:

I had been living for others more than I had been living for myself.

That moment marked the beginning of my Inner Revolution.

I turned inward.
I learned to listen to the language of my body.
I began honoring my truth rather than betraying it.
I practiced mindfulness, emotional responsibility, and the kind of boundaries that aren’t walls—just clear declarations of self-worth.

And as I did, something shifted.
My voice came back.
My intuition sharpened.
My life began aligning with who I actually am, not who I was taught to be.

Now, my work is dedicated to helping other women do the same—to come home to themselves, reclaim the parts of their power they abandoned along the way, and build lives rooted in truth, sovereignty, and wholeness.

Why I Do This Work

I do this work because I know what it feels like to look successful on the outside while feeling quietly unfulfilled on the inside.
To carry so much strength for everyone else that you forget what your own strength feels like.
To be wise, capable, intuitive — and still feel disconnected from your own truth.

I’m here for women who don’t need rescuing,
but who are ready to rise.

Women who are self-aware enough to recognize their patterns,
and brave enough to gently — and honestly — change them.

This work isn’t about quick fixes or emotional hand-holding.
It’s about returning to your inner authority,
healing the patterns that have been running the show beneath the surface,
and building a life that actually reflects who you are.

When a woman comes home to herself,
the entire trajectory of her life shifts.
She begins to lead, love, and live from truth — not survival.

That is the quiet revolution I’m here to guide.

Who This Work Is For

This work is for women who:

✨ Are emotionally intelligent, self-aware, and ready for deeper inner work
✨ Are tired of repeating the same patterns and genuinely want to understand why
✨ Feel strong on the outside, but unfulfilled or disconnected on the inside
✨ Take responsibility for their growth and want support — not rescue
✨ Are ready to stop abandoning themselves and start standing in their truth
✨ Want to feel grounded, clear, and embodied in their relationships and decisions
✨ Sense they’re on the edge of a new chapter — and want guidance through it
✨ Are willing to be honest, curious, and courageous with themselves

Who This Work Is Not For

This work may not be the right fit if you are:

– In an acute crisis or navigating untreated trauma that requires clinical or emergency support
– Looking for a rescuer, fixer, or emotional caretaker rather than a grounded guide
– Seeking sliding-scale, barter, or exceptions to the coaching container
– Hoping for change without being willing to actively participate in your own growth
– Wanting quick answers or surface-level advice instead of deep, embodied work
– More comfortable analyzing your life than allowing change to land in your body and actions

This work asks for presence, responsibility, and a willingness to meet yourself honestly.
It’s designed for women who are ready to engage with depth — gently, courageously, and with intention.

If you’re unsure whether this work is right for you, that curiosity itself is welcome.
We can explore alignment together — with honesty, respect, and care.

It’s about remembering who you’ve always been —
and finally having the courage to live from that place.

If you feel that quiet yes inside you,
you’re in the right place.
