Why This Work Matters
I’m Emily, the writer and voice behind Wise + Wild. Nearly twenty years ago, I recovered from an eating disorder and alcoholism. I rebuilt my life, and rebuilt myself from the inside out. I thought I had healed the patterns of controlling perfectionism and anxiety that used to run me ragged.
Then I became a parent, and I was shocked by how triggered and powerless I often felt during hard moments.
Have you ever heard the saying, “Face your demons or they’ll raise your children?”
Yeah, that.
This space is where we face them- repair, expand, and, grow alongside our kids.
I’m so glad you’re here.
Where Do You Want More?
More peace, more confidence, more moments when you feel fully, joyfully present?
More fun and laughter?
And now… where do you still react?
Where do you hold back, criticize yourself, experience anxiety, withdraw, or shut down?
If you want more for yourself and your family, you’re in the right place.
Embodied: Expansion In Real Life.
This morning, my younger son was heartbroken that his dad was going fishing with his brother’s class.
Every instinct in me wanted to fix it- to remind him he goes fishing all the time. To rush him out of sadness and into the car.
But I didn’t.
I acknowledged that he felt bummed, and guided to school.
He went to school a little sad, moving through his own experience, completely safe.
That’s expansion in real life.
Inside Expand Your Capacity, I’ll guide you through what made this moment possible, how to create more of them in your home.

When Boy Anger Feels Like Too Much
(Read Here)
The yelling.
The talking back.
The explosive reactions.
The fear that you’ve somehow failed them.
I’ve been there — standing aghast, wondering if I’ve taught them nothing.
What I’ve learned about boys, biology, and emotional safety changed everything.
If you’re raising boys, this conversation matters.
