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 my two Wise + Wild boys.
I write about how messy and imperfect it can feel, and the healing power of real repair. My work is rooted in lived experience, intuition, spiritual training, personal development, and parenting research.
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. After becoming a parent, I realized I wanted to raise children with more emotional resilience and authenticity. I also realized I was still triggered by parts of myself I thought I had healed years ago.
I write about parenting and personal growth where they intersect: emotional reactivity, inner child work, generational patterns, and raising big-energy, sensitive boys while learning how to regulate yourself.
Wise + Wild is for people who want honest, practical support and real inner transformation. This is a space for growth that shows up in real life, in your relationships, in your parenting, and in the way you lead yourself.
If you are ready to expand into a greater version of yourself and live and parent with intention, you are not alone here. We are building something rooted in depth, accountability, and real change. I am so glad you’re here.

Stop Managing Fights. Start Understanding the Dynamic.
The stress, overstimulation, and not knowing how to respond in the moment your kids are fighting can be brutal. Feeling like they are always fighting can be brutal too.
Here’s the truth: sometimes we accidentally contribute to more resentment between siblings without even realizing it, which leads to more ongoing conflict.
This short audio shares a simple shift in how to approach sibling conflict so you can reduce rivalry and bring more calm into everyday family life.
