 “Somewhere between our fears, and the persistent yearning in knowing beyond what our eyes cannot see but our hearts can feel, lives our truest selves — waiting to be revealed and brought to life.” – Em Kitchener

Em’s love for non-fiction writing was born from years of soul searching, personal development, healing, and a deep hunger for spiritual growth. Following the whisper within, she came to authorship organically through witnessing the world around her and seeking to make sense of what her limited human wisdom could not always explain.

For over a decade, Em worked as an intensive care nurse, travelling the country and caring for people from all walks of life. Her formative years were spent alongside the sick and dying, those who had been harmed and were suffering, and those who experienced the miraculous, even in the darkest of places. These experiences shaped her understanding of the human condition and revealed to her the profound resilience we can cultivate through our story.

The bigger question she attempts to answer for us is: how do we equip ourselves to face the more tender and vulnerable realities of being human—death, unexpected change, heartbreak, loss or as one would call “the impermanence of life” —and still live hopefully, joyfully, and fully inspired?

The answer, Em believes, is to use our life as creative clay and mould it into a masterpiece.

Em believes that each of us carries a unique story filled with meaning, beauty, and hope. That when we become willing to face the tender, broken, and uncertain parts of our lives rather than numb or hide from them, we can discover what they have to teach us—and perhaps, gain a glimpse into the deeper story God is writing through us all. 

Through her writing, Em hopes to help readers lovingly discover themselves within their struggles, doubts, and fears, while finding the courage to live with greater intention, hope, and meaning in their everyday lives. She believes our stories are at the root of what connects us, transforms us, heals us, and ultimately leads us back to the sense of home within us that due to disappointments, perhaps abandoned long ago.
