About Emily Grace
MY STORYI have always been drawn to stories. I wrote stories in my journal as a young girl with a wide-eyed imagination. Later in college, I wrote articles for my college newspaper as I pursued a degree in Mass Communication. Throughout my different jobs working at magazines and private schools, I was always drawn to the human experience…the uniqueness of each person’s story, the struggles they faced, and how they overcame adversity. I wanted to journey alongside these courageous people and learn how to support them in the story they longed to have for themselves.
So God changed my story, and I went to graduate school to become a counselor. Almost a decade later and thousands of stories later, I continue to be thankful for how God is at work rewriting our stories for His glory and our good. I am humbled to be invited in to listen and walk alongside some brave women through the joys and sorrows of life.
