What People Are Saying
Real reflections from couples and individuals who’ve used the workbook…
“This felt like finding a handwritten letter in a sea of form emails. Every page invited me into a dialogue that was both deeply personal and spacious enough for my own thoughts to breathe. Emy somehow creates a circle of safety on the page, the kind of presence you can feel even across years and distance. The visual tone was inviting and created safety in its warm simplicity. There was one section that stopped me in my tracks: the exploration of emotional load in the division of labor. It was like discovering a hidden room in a familiar house. That single idea has already started reshaping conversations in my own home.
This is a compass disguised as a conversation. If your relationship doesn’t yet have a relationship manifesto, this is where you’ll find it.”
–Sara Thornhill
“I’ve been in talk therapy for years, and this workbook still helped us uncover areas we hadn’t explored before. The prompts are thoughtful, emotionally accessible, and inclusive of many types of relationships. It’s a powerful tool for deepening connection, no matter where you are in your journey together!”

“This workbook feels like taking a warm, guiding hand to help you find your own path rather than being directed. It is not about creating the ‘right’ relationship, or using specific strategies to ‘fix’ something. It is an invitation to explore your relationship and the extent to which it meets your expectations and needs.
I love the compassionate tone in which it is written and the honesty. I found it particularly helpful to reflect on inherited ideas and expectations of relationships, and whether these are elements we want to keep or move away from.
There is no one way to be together in a relationship and this book is a wonderful resource to explore your own relationship as a couple and how you want to move forward together, even if that means continuing as you have been. Even for couples who feel content with how things are, this workbook enables you to identify what connects you so well so you can set a conscious intention to continue.”

Emy’s desire to facilitate true connection in relationships is evident throughout this reflective workbook. With deep care and concern for those who seek intimate and loving partnerships, Emy approaches each individual with compassion, not judgement, encouraging reflection and self-knowledge that creates the vulnerability necessary for satisfying connections. For those hoping to develop a relationship that values and nurtures their soul, as well as those wanting to deepen their togetherness with those they love, this workbook is a tool that helps us all find ways to understand our own needs and continue working to meet the relational needs of others. I’ve not encountered a workbook so thoughtful, supportive, and encouraging as Emy’s, nor one that so lovingly asks the difficult questions needed to foster greater intimacy among partners.
