It became more recognized and relatable. Kristen joined the social media world just in time to help people live authentically. She strives to destigmatize mental health and teach...

info_outlineToday With Emmy Marie:
Today on The Inner Edit, I am with Emmy Marie, founder of @bloomingwithemmy. Emmy is a content creator and a trauma coach who has worked through her own c-PTSD and trauma from abuse and now helps others on their own path to healing.
Emmy’s rise to success started out with an anonymous platform, but over time she began showing up with her face and name. Her journey can teach us a lot about how to dip our toes into something new, how to overcome our own challenges and discomfort, and how to avoid burnout and remain authentic in what we’re creating.

Christie Rocha's and Emmy Marie's Ah-Ha Moments
“It's unrealistic to expect yourself to have an original thought every day.” -Emmy
“I’d rather be happy and balanced than make six figures.” -Emmy
“It’s really that self-awareness of saying ‘I’d rather be happy and balanced than make six figures.’ It’s a simple sentence, but it's not an easy one.” -Christie
More About Emmy Marie
I began this work in 2013 after surviving an abusive relationship that left me with complex PTSD. Since then, I’ve dedicated my life to finding a way to stop viewing myself with disdain and shame, and start believing in my ability to live a wildly joyful, connected, and empowered life.
Along the way, I’ve studied a plethora of healing techniques that bridge the gap between neuroscience and soulful intuitive knowing. I’m a huge fan of everything from the Polyvagal Theory, to the Enneagram, to somatic work, to the mindfulness practice of Radical Acceptance. In October 2020, I became certified as a trauma-informed coach through the ICF-accredited program offered by Moving the Human Spirit. In January 2022, I became certified as a NARM practitioner. NARM is a modality for working with complex trauma. In August 2023, I earned a certificate in Somatic Attachment Therapy (which I apply to coaching) from The Embody Lab.
I view everything I learn about through the lens of trauma recovery in order to help survivors feel safe as they try out new practices or reach for their goals, adapting what I learn to work for overwhelmed brains that are used to looking for danger everywhere.
My dedication to studying trauma recovery has led me from being full of shame to full of self-love. Now that I can see the ways my body adapted to the overwhelming experiences I survived in the light of acceptance, I can work with my symptoms instead of running away from them. Now that I can see how devastating the effects of trauma were on my brain and body, I can give myself the rest I need to recover without judging myself for my needs. Now that I can see how abuse conditioned me to constantly doubt myself, I can make the radical choice to go after what lights me up and know it’s safe to do so.
