Em spent many years as an intensive care nurse, travelling the country and caring for people of all walks of life; many experiencing some degree of adversity trying to make sense out of their pain, their struggles, and how they ended up where they were in their life. Battling with uncertainty as many of us do daily, Em learned this undeniable truth of the human condition and our resiliency — the power of story. 

Each of us carries a unique story; a narrative brimming with meaning, beauty, and hope. Our stories have the power to heal divides, to deepen intimacy within our lives, reveal the good that has been done we may have lost sight of along the way, and to show us the beauty within the most tender, broken and dismissed parts of our lives we often want to forget and tuck away. 

But what happens when stories are left untold? Are they truly finished?

Em believes in the power of human story being at the root of what connects us, transforms us and inspires us to live a life more fulfilled when we engage with them instead of unconsciously running away from them. Untold stories leave our potential untapped and unfinished. When we invite higher possibility into our lives, beyond the pain, the fear and uncertainty, and instead, choose to bravely seek the unknown that pulls at our hearts beyond what is comfortable, we begin to consciously unravel the story being written through not just ourselves, but all of us: a story of hope, resiliency and becoming.

It’s Em’s desire to write stories that allow readers to lovingly discover themselves within their struggles, doubts and fears and inspire a hopeful future no matter what circumstances they feel up against. Somewhere between our fears, and a persistent yearning in knowing beyond what our eyes can see, lives our truest selves — waiting to be revealed and brought to life.
