Founder of Best Next Steps + Host of Afternoons with Ems
Best Next Steps is a motivational movement grounded in the belief that we can change the entire trajectory of our life by taking one Best Next Step in a new direction. In overcoming the trauma of her past, Emily developed this as a daily practice in reaching for the best version of herself.
As a wife, momma and entrepreneur she knows all too well how the busyness (and chaos) of life can derail our intentions. Best Next Steps is about moving through our struggle and into success, getting our hustle to yield progress, and redefining our past to live a present full of purpose.
Using her past as a propellant, Emily teaches audiences how to move beyond limiting beliefs and the challenges holding them back. Emily pulls from her own experiences as an overcomer and engages her audience. Together they journey to a place of discovering what truly are the Best Next Steps needed in order to push through their roadblocks and step fully into who they were created to be.
You can find Emily speaking to audiences, writing books, posting quick cooking videos and consistently creating meaningful content that inspire and motivate all of us to take those Best Next Steps.

They have been married for almost 5 years. They are parents to a free spirited witty 3 year old daughter and a curious, mischievous 2 year old son. A year ago they quit their jobs, walked away from secure paychecks and insurance to pursue our calling of raising their babies and teaching others how to show up as the example for the ones watching them. They started 3 companies and didn't make a dime in any of them in the first year. But God said jump so they dove right in!! They lived on rice, beans, spinach and a WHOLE LOT of prayer.
They have learned this last year that there is a purpose behind every struggle and blessing. Even if it doesn't make sense to us. They have learned that nothing is on their time and there is a purpose for that. They believe that the best way to feel incredible is through proper nutrition, exercise, and a changed mind. They believe that we are the leaders for our future leaders. They believe that if they don't ask they will never receive. They believe that if we never go after what we want, we will never have it.
They want to create opportunities for you that most can only DREAM OF. They want to duplicate our stories, in you
