After coaching for several years on life’s transitions, I find myself in the midst of my own. I’m shifting to music and writing as the focus of my days.

While I’m no longer coaching, I still have the Beyond Burnout Playbook available for free download, the best-selling book to which I contributed Leading with Self-Awareness: Starting from the Inside Out on Amazon, and interviews and articles you may find helpful.

This website is being updated to reflect current projects, such as our Minneapolis-based trio, JazzLove and my ongoing monthly blog, Living As Music. Feel free to explore and to reach out to me if you find resonance in any of these gifts.

May your transitions bring more clarity and confidence in knowing who you are and why you’re here.

I’ll see you on the journey.

Warmly,
Emma

That is, until my friend Lisa forwarded me an article on how playlists can be used purposefully. I began to muse on songs…

Age Gracefully with Music

If you’d like to prevent memory issues, turn on the tunes! Meet an inspiring elder, Joan, and her music therapist, Roxie. I’m astounded by the beautiful, clear quality of Joan’s voice and her pitch-perfect recall of the harmony part of a favorite hymn:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pzipz2YUijE Does Joan remember all the words?
