What if the most radical act a parent can make is to speak softly where they once heard shouting? Emilie joins us with her daughter Halo and a simple, seismic idea: let your child become whoever they’re meant to be. From that starting point, we travel through the terrain that shaped her resolve—childhood chaos, a brother’s sudden death, and the hard, necessary decision to draw a line with an addicted parent—toward a home rebuilt on calm, clarity, and choice.We talk through the daily craft of breaking cycles: how to slow conflict down instead of speeding it up, how to set boundaries without burning bridges, and how to grieve someone who is still alive. Emilie shares what sobriety looked like when pregnancy turned maybe into no, and how quitting weed at twelve weeks felt less like punishment and more like reclaiming time, money, and presence for Halo. She doesn’t preach; she practices—naming feelings, pausing before reacting, and creating a safer emotional climate than the one she grew up in.Her spiritual compass is wide open. She doesn’t center a single deity; she trusts the universe as a living, connected field, uses metaphors as tools, and pays attention to small signs from loved ones gone. Along the way, we sit with body acceptance after birth, the everyday courage of living in the moment, and the mentors who helped her become strong, genuine, and purposeful. If you’re navigating trauma recovery, conscious parenting, sobriety, or redefining faith on your own terms, this conversation offers practical ways to choose peace without pretending the past didn’t happen.If this story moved you, follow the show, share it with someone who needs it, and leave a review—your words help others find their way here.
