Return to yourself—while raising children and healing in real life
Personal growth, parenting, and real life- shared honestly.
A short audio to help reduce sibling rivalry in your home
Why this work is important to me
I’m Emily—the mother, writer, and voice behind Wise + Wild.
This work grew out of my own experience of trying to grow and heal while raising children. I’ve had to face my own triggers, patterns, and history—and learn how to respond differently in real moments, with real kids.
Nearly twenty years ago, I recovered from an eating disorder and alcoholism, along with the perfectionism and insecurity that shaped much of my early life. I rebuilt my relationship with myself. After becoming a parent, I realized that healing doesn’t end—especially if we want to raise children with more emotional resilience than we had, in a world filled with influences and technology that we did not have to navigate.
I write about parenting and personal growth where they intersect: emotional reactivity, inner child work, generational patterns, and raising sensitive boys while learning how to regulate yourself. I write about how messy and imperfect it can feel, and the healing power of true repair. My work is grounded in lived experience, intuition, spiritual training, and personal development and parenting research.
Wise + Wild is for people who want honest, practical support—not perfect parenting. If you’re here to break old patterns, expand into a greater version of yourself, and also parent with intention, I’m so glad you’re here.
Here is what actually helps me
A walking meditation —> (Listen Here)
A guided meditation for when you need to slow down, come back to your self, and move your body with intention and ease. I usually listen when I have been feeling anxious.
A vulnerable parenting note —> (Read Here)
A reflection on a hard season with my toddler son, and a moment that changed the way I see my relationship with him forever. I still tear up when I read this, remembering this hard season- but it helps me remember the core of what our children desperately want and need from us.
A reflection on the power of healing —> (Read Here)
It still astounds me the depth of growth and healing that can unfold during an inner child session. I’m sharing a very personal story here, with permission.
More resources- parents in the thick of it
If you’re in a hard season and need something practical, these may help.
When boy anger feels like too much (Read Here)
A grounded look at what’s really happening when emotions run high — and how to respond without fear, force, or shame, in ways that support a boy’s emotional growth over time.
Boys and Anger: How Punishments can lead to Isolation and Loneliness (Listen Here)
A reorientation around boys and anger — and the inner work that helps parents respond differently when emotions run high. Includes practical ways to navigate intense moments with young boys.
A calmer way to respond when family life feels intense
Siblings fighting isn’t about “bad behavior.” It’s a normal dynamic in a home with children.
But the stress, overstimulation, and not knowing how to respond in the moment can be brutal. Feeliing like your kids are always fighting- also brutal.
Here’s the truth: sometimes we may accidentally contribute to more resentment between siblings- without even knowing it- leading to more ongoing fights.
This short audio shares a grounded way to approach sibling conflict that reduces rivalry and brings more calm into everyday family life — without yelling, lecturing, or trying to fix everything. The same approach shared applies for most conflict outside of siblings as well - or if you have one child.
Intentional Presence in Life- and In Parenting.
This is where we talk about the real intersections of personal growth and parenting—the messy, painful, hilarious, beautiful moments that force us to slow down and see what actually matters.
We aim for presence and grounded, loving connection.
The work here is about expanding the way you show up—for yourself and for your kids. It’s about holding boundaries with clarity, coaching behavior without shame, and raising children who trust themselves because they see you doing the same.
Parenting is a path of transformation if we let it be.
And if you’re not here for parenting content, everything here still applies to re-parenting yourself — noticing your patterns, choosing differently, and growing in the places that challenge you the most.
This work is for anyone ready to live with more intention, truth, and awareness.
