Sounds pretty cool, right? While those accomplishments and credentials do bring a sense of pride, Emma also recognizes that many of those things are ultimately what left her feeling intense anxiety, chronic stress, overwhelm and burnt out. Her credentials may span two lines on a business card, but in recent years Emma has totally transformed her practice and life in order to ensure that her accomplishments no longer define her. Now, much of her time is spent working as a Co-Active coach helping other clinicians show up fully for their lives and careers in a way that feels authentic, sustainable and most importantly, fun!
