Hi! I’m Emily Madill, thank you for stopping by. I’m an ICF-credentialed coach, author and editor-at-large with Thrive Global. I also work as a leadership coach with BetterUp.

At the heart of my work is a passion for helping others live with greater purpose, joy, and impact. I’ve always loved the power of words and their ability to inspire, encourage, and help people feel their best.  

Of all the roles I’ve held, being a mom to two boys is by far my most creative and rewarding. They remind me not to take life too seriously, to trust my intuition, and to love with every part of who I am.

I share a free monthly newsletter called: The Happiness Note, offering practical mindset strategies to remember the good, feel your best, and reset as needed. My hope is to offer a little perspective and encouragement amid the noise and busyness of everyday life.

Along with the monthly notes, I’ve published 12 titles focused on self-development and empowerment for both children and adults. My writing has also appeared in Chicken Soup for the Soul:Think Positive for Kids, The Huffington Post, Thrive Global, TUT.com, Best Self Magazine, The Muse, MindBodyGreen, Emerging Women, TinyBuddha, Aspire Magazine, and others.

I believe in living with intention, finding joy in the everyday, and making the most of what matters.
