Ever had “one of those days”..? Us, too! 😖 🥵 Join as our guest, Emily Stearman, shares about the importance of allowing & not always doing for the sake of healing & Overcoming. We can do, & we can be, and both are important. There is this heavy narrative in healing communities of do this, use this tool, use your energy here, you can push through, you’re strong, etc. But we CHALLENGE THAT NARRATIVE & offer another- that simply resting & listening to what you need is one of the most powerful self-regulation or growth tools there is. Emily is a motivational speaker, has background in Marriage & Family Studies, and is a total gem to laugh along with & also feel seen, wholly. Connect with her at https://www.Instagram.com/helloemilystearman & follow along with the show on https://www.Instagram.com/soswithdrtaelor Bonus Emily Storytime :) When Emily was little, she desperately wanted to be a singer/volcanologist combo. The park ranger she told that to on a fifth-grade field trip laughed at her and said "Good luck."
Emily's life is not one of inspiring odd-beating. She is, in fact, not a singing volcanologist. But what she'd like to tell that park ranger is that she's happier talking about shame than she ever could have been as a singing volcanologist. Emily has been speaking to audiences for over a decade and began her podcast Speaking to Shame to reach even more people.
She has a degree in Marriage and Family Studies, with a clinical emphasis, and reads research on relationships for fun.
Emily is a human holding it together with heaps of grace and snacks she doesn't share with her two children. She and her husband can be found dancing in the kitchen, parenting together, cooking dinner, or going on the hikes she pretends to like because she wants her husband to feel loved.
Emily is passionate about mental health, is a trauma and abuse survivor, and a Shame Slayer. She also loathes crunchy peanut butter.
She lives in Idaho with her best friend Nathan, their kids, and a sad hole in her heart that a dog will someday (hopefully) take up.
