Ep. 18 Radical Responsibility, Radical Joy with Emma Hosfeld

Welcome to Episode 18 where I get to share a moving, deep, and open conversation with the lovely Emma Hosfeld. Emma writes moving and beautiful pieces on parenting, education, and healing. I was immediately drawn to the way she can get to the heart of things.

In our conversation, Emma talks about showing up to life with radical responsibility and radical joy.

We talk about her struggle with drugs and alcohol, her sobriety journey, becoming a mother, her active choice to be a healthy role model for her kids, and the importance of building an intentional community for ourselves and our children. 

We also talk about the fear and worry we carry around as humans, but how vital it is to accept it as it is and move forward anyway.

We discuss being brave enough to take the next step in whatever situation or challenge we are facing. 

Emma talks about people who have inspired her and how social media can positively impact us and change the trajectory of our lives in a good way.

We discuss the beauty and magic of watching our children learn by following their curiosity and so much more. 

It's a powerful episode.
