“I approached this series looking for reassurance, peace, and hope as I enter this new season of my vocation and it did not disappoint. I completed the Navigating Engagement series last year and began this series after learning we were expecting twin girls this year. So many of the topics were relevant to the difficulties and worries I have/am facing during my pregnancy and fears about motherhood. It was nice to hear that I was not alone in so many of the anxieties and struggles I was faced with, and it was wonderful hearing it from Emily who has such a loving heart for women and mothers. The difficulties of raising children were validated in the series, but Emily's approach helped me begin to change my view of motherhood from overwhelming or burdensome to a blessing meant to sanctify me by simply loving my children well. Being a first time mom, it's hard to know what to expect, but hearing from Emily and the other moms who contributed their advice has helped me approach this new season with a greater trust in God's call for me to be a mother. Thank you, Emily, for pouring out your heart so that ours could find peace and be able to embrace motherhood with "confidence, surrender, and joy." ”

“Emily provides such wonderful encouragement in this series. I truly felt like I was sitting down for coffee with a dear friend. I only wish I had brewed myself a cup of tea while I listened! ”

“I had done Emily's Navigating Engagement series while I was engaged and found it extremely helpful, so I knew once we got pregnant I would want to do the Navigating Motherhood series! This series was a lot more needed than I expected as the practicalities and difficulties in motherhood I don't think are often talked about in the Church or how they may affect you spiritually and Emily discussed all of this. I've experienced a wide array of reactions to our pregnancy and am the first of both my husband's and my side of the family (sibling wise) and almost all our friends to get married and become pregnant. This series made me feel a lot less alone and it made me feel encouraged! Emily provided thoughts, advice, and pieces of her own experience that weren't tainted with negativity/bitterness/misery, but with a perspective of viewing motherhood as the greatest and most challenging life-giving gift, an offering to our Lord. It was beautiful, inspiring, and also -practical- , she shared many helpful things to think about and expect to encounter as a mother. I couldn't recommend this series more! Emily, thank you!”

“I started the series a few weeks after my daughter was born. It took me a few months to finish (because, you know, motherhood). It was simply wonderful. I felt encouraged, seen, understood. It made me ponder a lot of things. And I definitely shed some (or many) tears during most videos. The course is a real blessing. ”

“I 1000% recommend this series! I started it at 13 weeks pregnant with my first, and have just finished it at 39 weeks pregnant. Without fail, each segment came at a time when the Lord knew I most needed it. He used this series to restore my hope, peace, and joy about becoming a mother when the anxiety and fear were becoming too great. These videos have helped me feel more prepared for motherhood than anything else I've done throughout my pregnancy. My only unfulfilled desire - I wish there was an equivalent to this for men navigating fatherhood!”

“This series is so intentionally created to share the deep, real heart points of motherhood. It helped me tremendously to create prayer and reflection time back into my routine during pregnancy as well as preparing my heart quietly for the emotional role of motherhood. I HIGHLY recommend this course!!!”

“I enjoyed every minute of this video series. I am a first time mother to a 2 month old and motherhood has understandably changed everything about my life. Most of my friends do not yet have children and I felt very alone. These videos truly helped so much. I laughed and cried through so many of them. I felt like you were inside my brain and heart, saying things that I thought only I thought or worried about. This was a great comfort to me while I was up all through many nights with my baby! Thank you for pouring your heart into this, it meant so much. ”

“As someone who also loves a good heart to heart, this series felt like is was exactly that! It is so evident by the way and depth to which Emily shares that she cares for each and every woman listening. The wisdom Emily shares have been valuable and memorable in my day to day as a mother. I often find myself reflecting or praying through her sharings. I am so thankful for this course and would absolutely recommend it to any mother!”

“Loved the feeling of a Heart-to-Heart with you! So glad God told you to do video instead of a book. THANK YOU!”

“As a mom who had a (*very unwanted*) c-section, this section brought me a lot of peace. Thank you for sharing your experience!”

“Thank you Emily for saying yes and creating this video series! Since completing the series, I have felt such a peace in my heart and in my mothering. I appreciated every single story you shared about your life and other Mom’s, and felt so much relief that I wasn’t the only one experiencing these different parts of mothering. I printed each of your prayers out and am framing them around my house and so I can connect with the Lord with these beautiful words you put together. Thank you Emily! ”
