Speaking & Media
Keynotes, smaller groups, and panels
Emma speaks on a variety of subjects related to relationships, creativity, grief, and reconsidering a typical life path. She brings empathy and insight as a psychotherapist, along with her own life experience as a caregiver. She has a knack for making soul-stirring topics accessible, relatable, and–as much as possible–humorous. Emma is also open to new content and conversations based on your event’s theme, or she can read live from her memoir.

- Ambiguous loss, and coping well when life doesn’t go as planned
- Caring for yourself and others as a caregiver
- Working compassionately with caregivers, including how to have difficult conversations (for health professionals)
- How to write a powerful memoir
- Supporting others through a life-altering loss
- Friendship, including cultivating more joy, ease, depth, and generosity in friendships
- Creativity as a tool for wellbeing
- How to commit to your creative goals
- Sparking hope, including during the winter months
