Meet my Guest:
Emily is the 10th of 12 children and Becky’s indisputable favorite sister. She is the mother of 4 children and is currently serving as the primary chorister in church. She is a fitness professional, choreographer, and vocal coach in her community, and has started a new business called inMOTION Studios where she works as a clinician for High School and University Theatre Departments throughout Texas. It is her mission to build resilient human beings through musical theatre and fitness, and she does this through her exercise programs and workshops. Emily is super Sendy because she practices what she preaches to her students. To take risks, and lean into things that are hard, new, and uncomfortable.
“She felt strongly impressed that what Emily needed was mom. Not a diagnosis — mom.”
