Hi, I’m Emily; mom of eleven, trauma survivor, recovering people‑pleaser, and a full‑time human‑in‑progress learning to live with a whole heart again.
My story has been shaped by faith, creativity, and more grief than I ever imagined I could survive. I was raised Mormon, but eventually traded temple recommends for biblical truth and found deep peace in a Christ‑centered, grace‑rooted faith. I left an abusive marriage, remarried a truly good man, and together we’re raising a beautifully neurodivergent circus of kids.
In July 2024, we lost our oldest daughter to suicide. That grief cracked me open in ways I’m still discovering. It changed my faith, my motherhood, my nervous system, and the way I see the world. It also led me to the quiet, sacred place where Jesus meets me in the mess of therapeutic art journaling.
This space is where I gather the pieces of my story and offer them as an inspiration for telling yours. It’s where I explore:
Faith in the Christ of the Bible that heals
Art journaling as a way to process grief and trauma
Muchness finding and embracing the God‑given identity inside you
Healing that is holy, nonlinear, and deeply human
I believe Jesus sits with us in the messy middle. I believe creativity is a lifeline for the overwhelmed, the grieving, and the spiritually bruised. I believe wholeness isn’t about perfection, it’s about presence, honesty, and the courage to keep becoming.
If you’re here, you’re probably carrying something heavy. I hope what you find in this space helps you feel less alone, more understood, and a little more brave in your own healing and becoming.
Welcome to a place where faith and creative expression meet you right where you are, and gently lead you back to wholeness.
