reeling from the vortex of confusion that comes with an abusive relationship?
exhausted after leaving an abusive situation wondering if you'll feel normal again?
battling to set boundaries in healthy, non-controlling ways?
seeking effective techniques for emotional regulation?
wrestling to build the skills you need to resolve conflict effectively?
Hi, I'm Emily. I'm a writer, speaker, domestic violence advocate, and founder of Thriving Forward. I'm also a trained abuse recovery coach.
I’ve spent the last five years working with women just like you — women who feel stuck.
Stuck in the fog of manipulation.
Stuck in guilt and self-doubt.
Stuck wondering if healing is even possible.
Whether you’re still in a harmful environment or standing in the rubble after leaving one, I want you to know:
You don’t have to navigate this alone.
Hiring a private, trauma informed coach is often a big investment. And while it can be incredibly valuable, for many women — especially after leaving an abusive relationship or high-control environment — it’s simply not affordable.
That’s why I created this online group coaching program — to offer something in-between and at a fraction of the price of private coaching or therapy.
I’m opening two small, intimate group coaching programs for women ready to go deeper in their recovery journey. Whether you’re navigating post-separation confusion, reclaiming your identity after spiritual abuse, or trying to finally feel free from the fog — this space is for you.
This is a small-group experience for women ready to move forward with clarity, boundaries, and confidence.
Each group includes:
Safe, supportive weekly coaching sessions -- completly virtual!
Exclusive teaching based on trauma-informed recovery tools
Ongoing support inside a private community (See Bonus! below for details)
Occasional guest speakers and topic-based weeks
Space for you to be heard, supported, and challenged in healthy ways
All in a small, safe group of just eight women — so your story never gets lost in the crowd.
Select one group that works best for you.
Fridays at 11:00 AM CST (only 3 more slots available!)
Fridays at 7:00 PM CST (only 3 more slots available!)
90-minute virtual sessions
3 weeks on, 1 week off each month
6-month commitment (month-to-month after that)
Small groups – just 8 women per group
Receive individualized guidance/support each session, plus learn from watching the other members
All group coaching members will receive a complimentary membership to my private Facebook community:
Women Thriving After Abuse
This space includes archived teaching, real-time support, and a place to ask questions or receive feedback from both me and other like-minded women walking similar paths.
Healing takes time — and it takes the right kind of support. Not just surface-level affirmations, but deep inner work rooted in truth, dignity, and growth.
This program is designed to walk with you through that work.
If you’re ready to invest in your healing, take your next step forward, and do it in the company of women who get it — I’d be honored to have you in one of these groups.
