My guest today is Emily Cornell.

Emily is a strategist + coach who helps women really show up authentically and unapologetically.

Emily and I connected through the network of the Foreign Service, in which we are both spouses of US Diplomats.  Our paths also overlap at coaches and business owners finding creative ways to build our professional lives while moving around the world.

In today’s conversation Emily shares pieces of her journey which include growing up with domestic violence, becoming addicted to alcohol, being a Woman in Recovery, and the path to sobriety and learning to love herself.  

Emily shares that stories saved her life and she is passionate about sharing her own stories so that others know they are not alone and that there is hope!

I’m so grateful for Emily’s courage in life and in sharing her journey.  We talk about a number of books and resources during our conversation and have included links in the show notes.

Emily is also extremely gracious in her openness to connect with anyone who might resonate with her journey.  Her website, email and social media links are also in the show notes.

Thank you, Emily.  For sharing your stories which, I believe, are also saving lives.
