About Emily

Hi! I’m Emily Madill, thank you for stopping by. I’m an ICF accredited coach, an author and one of Thrive Global’s editors-at-large.

I enjoy supporting others to live with purpose, joy and impact. I also love words and sharing them in a way that helps people feel good.

I would say my most creative role is being a mom to two boys. They remind me to be playful, to trust in my inner wisdom, and to love with every part of who I am.

I send out a weekly note on Thursday mornings called: The Weekly Happiness Note. The notes include practical mindset strategies to remember the good, feel your best and re-set as needed. My hope is to help others who may feel overwhelmed by the noise and busyness of life.

Along with the weekly notes, I’ve published 12 titles in the area of self-development and empowerment, both for children and adults. You can find my writing 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 work as a coach at BetterUp and I also have a private coaching practice and an online program, offering courses that support others to create lasting habits around self-love, well-being and all things related to time and weekly planning. Go here to learn more about my coaching style or to work one-to-one with me.
