Your Blog is Not Your Journal
Your blog is not your journal. This often comes as news to the business owners, podcasters, and influencers I work with on a daily basis in my Blog Your Way to Visibility Coaching program. We need to stop clinging to the days of LiveJournal, when blogs were popularly seen as an online diary of sorts. […]
On Writing: Facing your Fear of the Blank Page
How do I start writing? This is the most common writing question I get from practicing writers and my first-time clients. They all want to create something so true to them, and so well-crafted, that they psych themselves out before even giving it a shot. The blank page lies open before them, so eerily clean. […]
Cambiando los sueños
Enero fue el mes que cambié mis sueños. Entré en 2020 con un plan: sobrevivir a mi maestría y profundizar la capacidad de escuchar a mi intuición. Y resulta que mi intuición me aclaró que sobrevivir a un grado de baja calidad era solo un plan, no un sueño, y los planes pueden y deben […]
Why I’m a Writing Coach
My heart’s swelled 3 sizes since I became a writing coach for women creating business blogs and personal memoirs.

My Journey Home: From Spain to Canada during COVID-19
In February 2020, I moved to Valencia, a beautiful coastal city on the Mediterranean coast of Spain. I meant to spend 3 months experimenting with this final place in Spain that I could actually see myself calling home. They’d be 3 months of total freedom. But less than 3 weeks later, that freedom turned into […]
Human Towers: Our Collective Fight Against COVID-19
I think Catalonia’s human towers serve as a good metaphor for the war we’re fighting as a species right now. The best way to beat COVID-19 with the lowest possible mortality rate is by working together. We’re individual soldiers in a larger human army. Standing together – in social isolation – against an unfeeling virus […]
Priority Lists: Your New Time Hero!
“This time change is killing me!” – You Yep, I hear you, although it’s a bit different across the pond! Believe it or not, Spain is waiting 3 extra weeks compared with North America in moving the clocks forward this year. As part of the Intrepid Emma community, my priority is consistently showing up for […]
Inner Peace: How to Practice
As I’ve gotten older, I’ve experienced the value of nurturing and protecting my inner peace. It helps me strengthen and stand behind my voice – my words – which I use for a living. And it creates a safe space, a loving retreat within myself when I feel hurt, misunderstood, or creatively drained. “Peace […]
