Meant to be here

When my mom got diagnosed with cancer for the first time, she went to the library and picked up Kris Carr’s “Crazy, Sexy, Cancer.” “Look Emmy! it’s us” she exclaimed! My mom was hype to see that someone got it. I, on the other hand, was like WTF is happening. My sister was diagnosed with cancer a few weeks after my mom, which led me into a deeper spiral that became my new normal. Nothing made sense, I had zero answers and helpless was a feeling as common as “okay. “ To say this high key sucked is an understatement.

When my mom wasn’t reading Kris’s book, I was. My friends and I also watched the Crazy, Sexy, Cancer documentary. I was in awe of this fierce one who refused to be a victim. I resonated with her energy and got to work. I consumed other thought leaders books, podcasts, ideas and remixed them with my own. I started to proactively choose who I spent my time, money and energy on. As I saw my mom and sister face mortality, it demanded I face my own. What did I want to do with this existence? How can my story impact others? Answering those questions changed every facet of my life.

My business was born out of heart break. By getting my heart break into action, the support I’m providing others has been additionally healing for me. It’s the business I’ve always been in and meant to do:

*Love People*

This summer, I’m taking my story on the road. I am co-hosting a yoga and acupuncture retreat with my friend Katie and I’m so grateful to invite you along. Yoga, meditation, acupuncture, card pulling and most importantly, creating an experience that’s priority is feel to heal.

We are all meant to be here, once you know why it’s impossible to not take action.
