6: Believe in Who You Are (Growing Boldly #1)

One of life’s biggest challenges is closing the gap between who we are and who we want to be. And how do we close that gap? By growing boldly and believing in ourselves. Sure, we all feel wobbly as we meet new obstacles and figure out what matters to us. But as we learn to trust in the wisdom we’ve earned from everything we’ve faced, steadiness comes—we just have to believe it’s real and it belongs to us. This week, Emily walks us through how she’s learned to get her beliefs inside to match her ...

5: Simply Defining Your Space (The Keeping of Home #1)

We all have different definitions of the word “home.” Some think of a house filled with family and friends, with love and laughter. Others think of a physical place, like sitting on a sandy beach or hiking in the mountains. But Emily defines “home” this way: it’s the space where you feel like your best self. From time to time, Emily will share ideas about what it means “keep a home” and build a space that looks and feels like *you.* This week, Emily walks us through how to think about building a...

In our circle of people, friends are some of the most special—after all, they’re the family we choose! But as we get older, making friends (and keeping them) doesn’t feel as easy as it used to be. Kids, careers, life obligations, you name it: sometimes the simple work of keeping everything going doesn’t leave much room for friendships. We’re not casually bumping into people we know at our lockers or at the coffee pot these days. So how do we make friends as a grown-up? And how do we nurture the ...

2: Simplifying “The Talk” with Your Kids – A Chat with Birds & Bees

As kids grow up, parents have a lot of responsibility to walk them through hard conversations. And no conversation is as awkward as “The Talk.” Oh yes, that Talk—the one where your mom pulled you aside with hushed tones and anatomically correct drawings about your changing body that made you want to squirm right out of your chair. But you know what? The Talk doesn’t have to be the cringe-worthy conversation of yesteryear (insert *sigh of relief* here!). Emily’s joined by Mary Flo Ridley and Mega...
