The Process of Healing

I’ve spent five years struggling to move forward from a significant medical event and an extended season of personal challenges. At first, my efforts to gain ground were more of a desperate attempt to speed through the circumstances and step off the struggle bus. That is not how the journey has gone. I’ve been on a winding road, full of adventure, surprises, blessings, and sorrows, and would you know? While some things remain extremely challenging, there are good and beautiful things too.

Healing is complex and many factors contribute to flourishing (or not). Here on Substack, I share what the process of healing and flourishing looks like for me. I hope you will be encouraged as you figure out what it might look like for you.

Let’s walk toward wholeness together.

With Love,
Emily

In 2020, I published a collaborative volume of essays on motherhood with a group of friends. It was a dream come true to publish together, and I’m so proud of the work we did . The book is full of our stories about the early years of motherhood—the beauty and the struggles too. Pick up a copy for yourself or give one as a gift to encourage a friend!
