Insights from One Woman’s Journey of Creating a Life and Career in Alignment
Emily Smith
Feeling defeated? Lost as to what steps to take next in your life and career? Leave behind society’s false ideas about how to achieve self-worth and success, and begin reclaiming your life. Wholeness Within will help you shift your perception, integrate your past, and accept yourself.
A spiritual guidebook for the modern woman stepping into the unknown, Wholeness Within follows author and spiritual career coach Emily Smith on her journey from fear and victimhood to rapturous self-acceptance.
Throughout, Emily shares her personal experiences of battling grief, burnout, anxiety, career dissatisfaction, addiction, and depression, which ultimately led her to a personal rebuilding and the development of a breakthrough coaching method that can help women everywhere shed negative self-images, create a career they actually love, and reclaim their narratives.
In her twenties, Emily lived an alluring life that looked victorious on the outside. She worked in the corporate world, living in London and New York City, and had a stimulating social life. On the inside, she felt numb. She lost herself in relationships, alcohol, partying, and work. But after a cataclysmic event upended her life and cracked her heart open, Emily knew that in order to move forward she would have to find her way back to herself and figure out how to heal. What she didn’t realize then was that she would have to come to terms with her past, trust in an unseen force to guide her, and revolutionize her entire belief system.
Part memoir and part step-by-step guide, Wholeness Within is a framework for learning to trust and respect yourself, your intuition, and your emotions. With Emily’s guidance, begin building an awareness of the energy around you, learn how to overcome mindset blocks, and take the steps toward aligning your authentic life and career. It only becomes possible to transform your life when you transform your perception of yourself. You have the power to cultivate wholeness within; you just need to wake up to it.

Reviews
“Wholeness Within is truly the book that I wish I had read when I turned thirty and was going through my Saturn return and dark night of the soul simultaneously. Emily’s voice and energy have such a comforting presence throughout—she makes you feel less alone, takes you deep into reflection and connection to self, and shares so many powerful modalities for your own healing and continuing awareness of (and connection to) self. But there’s no proselytizing here—she shares not from a place of knowing it all but from genuine openness, wisdom, and warmth. There’s something really approachable and friendly about this book. I read it in a weekend, and I came away feeling calm, at ease, and reenergized to continue learning and doing this work. This book is such a gift.” —Carolyn Stine, messaging and storytelling coach
“This is a book of rare courage—one to be treasured. Not many writers have the integrity or the will to tell their story fully and to describe how they uncovered their true life trajectory. Most writers gloss over what is important. Not so with Emily Smith. She provides detail and insights aplenty, which allow us all to see ourselves reflected, in some way, in her remarkable story of reaching wholeness. Her wisdom jumps right off the page in so many places that I found myself dazzled. My favorite quote? ‘Codependency and trauma go hand in hand.’ That right there says it all. Many people will write their life story. Very few will use that story as a guide, as a teaching tale, that can help others get unstuck. This is one of those books.” —Dr. Allan Hunter, author and life coach
“Wholeness Within is a thoughtful memoir that provides action steps to take in order to trust yourself, hone your intuition, and make decisions that align with your highest self. Emily’s both professional and personal story is compelling and is an amazing example of how you can change your entire life by looking within yourself. The first chapters peel back the layers of the life that looked great from the outside but wasn’t fulfilling inside, and the latter chapters show the process of rebuilding everything from the ground up. This book is inspiring to anyone on their growth journey, whether they are looking to become more self-aware and confident in their life decisions, heal from past trauma, or overcome obstacles in their career.” —Nicole Tremaglio, branding consultant and pop-culture expert
“Wholeness Within is a grounded, relatable guide through the peaks and valleys of becoming who you are. Emily Smith negotiates the same types of course corrections that we will all encounter in life—some gentle and some much more jarring. She weaves a thread of kindness, self-acceptance, and encouragement throughout the story of her life as she shares pivotal moments of navigating cancer as a young child, grief, addiction, challenging family dynamics, multiple career redirections, and awakening to her gifts and ever-unfolding purpose. She offers the potent message that things that look bright and shiny on the outside can often feel hollow on the inside, and she tells how she unhooked from the programming that kept her searching outside herself for validation and happiness. This is an honest trajectory of the human experience with clear steps and practices to help you find your own pathway to wholeness within!” —Erin Telford, breathwork facilitator, teacher trainer, and intuitive guide
