The 7 Passion Projects
That Give You More Purpose, Energy & Time
You've worked hard to build your career, but lately, it feels like something's missing. After working with hundreds of folks at companies like Google, Microsoft, Meta, and more, I've found that the most easeful way to feel more on purpose, energy rich, and time free is by starting a passion project. But not just any passion project. Find out which 7 actually work in this guide.
So many to-dos, yet something's missing?
 You've worked hard...Â
But lately? It feels like something's missing. Maybe you've even fantasized about quitting your job and moving to that cute farm by the beach.Â
Then the day-to-day responsibilities flash across your mind, and you get back to chipping away at your to-do list that feels more like a wish list.Â
You find yourself wondering, when can I get it all done?Â
But most importantly...
...when can I do what I actually want to do?Â
..when did my life force energy disappear?Â
...how can I feel more fulfilled––without blowing up my life?
You're at a pivot point.
But finding purpose doesn't have to be so hard.
 Here's the truth...
Your purpose is not waiting around somewhere for you to come find it. It's something YOUÂ create.
I believe a passion project is the pressure-free way to explore your purpose, build capacity to make changes, and grow confidence in your next chapter without taking a scary leap before you’re ready.
Because when you have a project that's yours to channel your wise creativity into, you create a flywheel of life force energy.Â
Like Newton's 2nd law... the more you create, the more energy comes back to you, and the easier it becomes to do life.Â
For example, when you have a passion project you know you want to spend time and energy on, you’re more efficient and productive at work.
I’ve seen it in my own career when I was an email marketer in the tech industry for 10 years (4 of which my business was my passion project), and I’ve seen it happen for my clients at Google, Microsoft, and Meta too.
In other words...
A passion project helps you feel more energized. More fulfilled. More you.Â

  I used to feel like...
I was running on a hamster wheel that couldn't stop.
In 2016, I burned out 5 years into my tenure in Silicon Valley tech. I could no longer ignore the migraines, chronic pain, and deeper cravings for rest and fulfillment.Â
During the years of spiritual discovery, scientific research, certifications, and guided support that followed, I accidentally started a passion project of teaching yoga at work. That project started a flywheel of positive life force energy that lifted up every part of my life. 5 years later, I quit to take what had morphed into my coaching business full time.
Since then, I've coached hundreds of individuals and spoken at companies, summits, and in entrepreneur masterminds to help busy folks ditch the to-do list overwhelm, prioritize self-care, and find their purpose by creating their own passion project.
My clients double their energy, feel 1.5 times more confident managing their time, and 4.5 times less stressed, on average by bringing their passion project to life.
I'd love to support you, too.
Let's get you feeling more fulfilled, too
More energy, time freedom, and success at work can all be yours.Â

What Clients Are Saying:
"I will sing Emily's praises to anybody who will listen. Emily helped me remember myself. I would tell anyone who's on the fence to just try to get quiet, listen and go with their intuition on it. But I think that even if they're scared that change isn't going to happen, or it feels like a big investment, just do it.Â
Do something for yourself because it's going to impact everyone around you. And it's worth it."
–– Lara Ho, Mom of TwoÂ
"Basically, what Emily does is help you love yourself. She helps you focus on the things you’re struggling with that you don’t even think you’re struggling with enough to fix them.
Two months ago I would've been super frustrated with myself, and now I'm just not. She’s magic.”
–– Asha Jones, Fraud Analyst in FinTech
"Emily helped me refocus on understanding my energy and taught me the bite-sized tools to create emotional boundaries throughout the day. IÂ now work with my natural energy, let go of the idea of the 2-hour morning routine, rest when I need to, and write at night.Â
I have so much more energy to sustain me now and can count on it to help me focus on what matters."
– Stephanie Zhong, Brand Strategist and Story Coach
"Emily led a workshop for our group at Microsoft. Emily is a strong facilitator for personal growth and brings together science and spirituality in a really cool and accessible way. She created an inviting and warm environment, got us all engaged and interacting even though it was an online event, and encouraged us to step out of our comfort zones and connect with ourselves and each other. We can't recommend her as a workshop leader enough!"
– Valeria Goncharenko, Program Manager II at Microsoft
