Your soul is a like sunflower—

rooted, resilient, and ready to rise.

Emily Finds Healing is a raw and powerful chronicle of one survivor’s path through trauma, grief, and loss—and her journey to reclaiming her story. It’s about finding light after darkness, strength after struggle, and growth in the most unexpected places.

Through these lived experiences, Emily offers not just her story, but a guiding light—a message that healing is possible, and that there is beauty in becoming.

I’m so glad you’re here.

Healing is not a solitary journey—and if you’ve landed on this page, please know that you’re not alone.

Whether you're navigating trauma, heartbreak or the quiet ache of trying to hold it all together, I want this space to feel like a soft place to land.

Here, you’ll find stories that hold truth, resources that support your growth, and words that gently remind you of your strength. My deepest hope is that something you read here lights a spark inside of you—that you feel seen, and reminded that healing, even in fragments, is always possible.

My Sunflower Soul is not just a memoir—it’s a testament to survival, resilience, and the power of truth-telling. Within these pages, I trace my journey through trauma, loss, and ultimately, healing.

I wrote this book as a lifeline—for myself, and for anyone who’s ever felt broken. It’s an offering of honesty, of hope, and a reminder that sharing our stories doesn’t just set us free—it helps others find their own path to light.

  • Emily Finds Healing is more than a platform—it’s a sanctuary of truth, vulnerability, and resilience. It’s a space I created to share my story and invite others to reconnect with their own. Through writing, resources, and community, my hope is to remind you: healing isn’t linear, but you are never walking it alone.

  • Even on the darkest days, sunflowers turn toward the light. They symbolize resilience, warmth, and hope. My journey has felt a lot like that: growing toward the light, even when it felt far away.

  • Expect to be moved, to feel seen, and to be reminded of your strength. My Sunflower Soul doesn’t shy away from the hard truths, but it also shines light on the beauty of resilience. It’s a story of survival, transformation, and hope—one that may mirror parts of your own journey.

  • Sometimes, hearing someone else’s truth gives us the courage to face our own. Through my story, I hope to offer you a mirror—a reminder that your pain is valid, your healing is possible, and you are never alone in what you’re feeling.

  • Healing doesn’t start with having all the answers—it starts with a whisper of hope. Begin by getting honest with yourself. Let yourself feel. Reach out for support. There’s no “right” way to heal—only your way. And every single step, no matter how small, is sacred.
