Hi, I'm Emma — marketing manager by day, book lover, amateur baker, and proud mom to a one-year-old little boy named Andrew and an Aussie pup named Shoresy (he's just as energetic as the name suggests).
I came to Ages & Stages because this podcast is everything I didn't know I needed. As someone who has navigated her own mental health journey — particularly with anxiety — and who is smack in the middle of the beautiful, messy, humbling season of new motherhood, I know firsthand how much it matters to feel like someone gets it.
By day, I work for a small, woman-owned mental health practice in rural Minnesota, where I've seen up close how powerful it is when women have access to real support and honest conversation. That's exactly what drew me to this community — the idea that women at every age and stage of life have something profound to offer each other, if we just create the space to listen.
When I'm not wrangling a one-year-old or chasing Shoresy around the yard, you'll find me curled up with a good book, trying a new recipe, or soaking up the outdoors.
I'm so glad you're here — pull up a chair, you belong in this conversation.
