Emma brings clinical credibility and lived experience into every conversation. Whether it’s a podcast interview, a panel discussion, or a keynote on maternal mental health, she shows up prepared, present, and willing to go there.

Speaking Topics

• The invisible postpartum — the mothers who fall through the cracks of care after discharge

• Burnout, identity loss, and the myth of bouncing back

• Parenting kids with complex needs while holding your own mental health

• The ‘both/and’ of motherhood — loving your kids and grieving the self you were

• What the perinatal mental health system gets wrong — and what we actually need

What you can expect

Emma often describes her storytelling and educational chats as ‘awkwardly transparent,’ which makes meeting others in the middle of their duality seamless. She comes prepared with talking points and is equally comfortable riffing in a long-form conversation. She brings warmth and clinical grounding in equal measure, bringing hard conversations to the forefront while making it feel like catching up with a friend.
