WISE WOMAN
Growth Group Cohort
Fall 2026
If you long to become
happier in your body,
healthier in your relationships,
less tangled in your emotions,
more confident in your personal values,
more stable amid life's storms,
and closer with Christ and the power of your covenants...
join us in this journey!
Find your inner WISE Woman.
At Grow in the Light, we believe becoming a Wise Woman is not simply about learning more information or trying harder to be "enough."
Becoming WISE means learning to know ourselves and our Savior deeply, so that we can live in greater alignment.
Alignment means we listen to our heart, mind, body, and spirit.
It means we seek to integrate ALL our thoughts and feelings (not just the "good" ones) into a whole, led by our wisest selves.
It means we navigate our relationships in line with our actual values, rather than our knee-jerk reactions or a desire for safety.
It means we can sort through what is true and not true in this noisy, complicated world.
It means we can find stability amid life's storms by grounding ourselves in Christ, and our divine identity as a beloved daughter of God.
WISE WOMAN is an intimate group coaching experience designed to help women develop the skills of a whole-souled, emotionally integrated, spiritually grounded life.
Together, we will explore the principles of Soulful Alignment—bringing the body, heart, mind, and spirit into greater harmony as we learn to walk with Jesus Christ.
I want this!INTRODUCING...
THE W.I.S.E. WOMAN framework
Doctrine and Covenants 45:57 describes those who are prepared to meet the Lord as "wise" women and men who:
- Receive the truth
- Take the Holy Spirit for their guide
- Are not deceived
But how do we actually develop the capacity to live this way?
If you've ever grumpily thought "well, I guess I just need to be more spiritual," then I have happy news. This program isn't about becoming a diferent you. It's about being the whole you.
You already have a WISE Woman inside of you, and you can learn concrete, actionable practices to put her in charge of your life.
This fall, I am opening two intimate group coaching experiences teaching my W.I.S.E. Woman Framework to help you
- sort through the competing voices in your soul and in the world,
- recognize truth and let it shape your values and actions
- connect more fully to Christ so his Spirit can guide your relationships and personal stewardships.
What does W.I.S.E. stand for
AND HOW WILL IT HELP?
W: Wholeness
We tend to favor some aspects of the self (body, heart, mind, spirit) at the expense of others. You might feel conflicted about your body, or be run by your emotions. Maybe you feel you're not smart enough or spiritual enough. You might feel that some parts of yourself are "frozen," weak, unimportant, or even shameful while other parts demand to be in charge. Or maybe you just haven't learnd yet to tune into the wisdom each aspect of your soul was designed to bring to the whole.
We practice WHOLENESS by learning to embrace and value the whole self and live from all our centers of knowing—body, heart, mind, and spirit—rather than living divided or disconnected from ourselves. This brings balance, and tunes us in to all the ways the Spirit and our own soul may be speaking truth to us!
I: Integration
Do you ever find yourself reacting to situations in ways you didn't intend, or don't actually value? Do you you feel like a tangled mess of competing voices and desires?
INTEGRATION is the way you calm the chaos, untangle the threads, and learn to live in line with your values. You are divine, and you are complex! It's not about silencing the "bad" parts; it's about developing the capacity to understand and connect all the parts, understand what they want/need, and bring them back into alignment with truth.
S: Stewardship
Feel like you have to do ALL the things in order to be a good person? Do you run yourself ragged trying to fix, rescue, or sustain all the people you love? Maybe you find yourself people-pleasing, shielding others from consequences, or nagging.
If so, the skills of STEWARDSHIP will help you. You can learn to discern what is within your influence, what is not, and where you can exercise meaningful agency and responsibility and can set boundaries (with yourself AND others). You can also learn to trust the Lord more fully in HIS stewardship. That's a beautiful feeling!
E: Equanimity
Do you feel overwhelmed, tossed about by a life that feels unpredictable and out of balance? Or maybe just unsettled, aimless, and a bit lost? Either way, it's stressful; and when we're stressed we can resort to automatic responses like fight, flight, freeze, fawn, or fix.
Not so with EQUANIMITY.
Equanimity brings all the WISE woman skills together into place where yo can be still in the eye of the storm. You can develop the ability to remain grounded, present, and spiritually centered, even in the midst of uncertainty, emotional intensity, and the challenges of life.
Words from a few WISE Women:
" I am very inspired by the growth of the others in my group. I feel like I have soul-buddies, and I feel safe. I realize where I can improve in simple ways through their example, and I turn back to my Heavenly Father to seek His counsel as well."
-NiCole, Utah
"When I first started these classes, I felt so uncomfortable. I didn’t feel like I had anything of worth to offer or contribute. In those early days I stayed quiet a lot and often felt intimidated. That is so different now. I am so grateful for the deep friendships I have developed with each of these women. It has been so incredible and humbling to watch our growth collectively and individually. Our lives are different in so many ways, but the principles and tools Emily teaches are applicable in all our life circumstances. She teaches about growth and developmen in ways that are truly divinely led."
-Cay, Utah
"Joining the group coaching class a couple of years ago was one of the best decisions I’ve made. Beyond the lasting friendships I've formed, nothing I have tried on my own compares to the personal growth I have experienced under Emily's tutelage. Through the program, I have learned to examine my thinking, move beyond unhelpful patterns, and take full accountability for my thoughts and decisions. Understanding my core values and learning to respect my own stewardship versus that of others has transformed my mental well-being and significantly improved my most important relationships." -Cay, Utah
-Jan, Texas
"Since doing classes and coaching at Grow in the Light, I’ve gone from being a very reactive and impatient wife and mother (regularly getting frustrated and completely overwhelmed), to having an awareness of myself and those around me that then gives me the ability to choose my responses from a much more balanced and whole place. As a mother of 3 neurodivergent kiddos, I rely on that balance and wholeness!! Working one-on-one allows me to get specific guidance for the issues on my heart, and the group classes expand my knowledge even more as I learn from other beautiful and inspiring women. The instruction material is all so relatable, instantly applicable and based in deep truth. I can confidently say that GITL has made my life brighter and more joyful because it has helped me become more of who I want to be."
-Kaylee, California
What is a group coaching class like?
Coaching is so much more than just a course. Instead of just delivering information, research shows that coaching can help people develop the confidence, motivation, insight, and accountability to create lasting change in beliefs and behaviors.
Your experience will include:
Weekly Group Coaching and Teaching
We meet online one hour each week for teaching, discussion, reflection, and live group coaching. You can choose a morning or afternoon/evening group.
An Intimate Small Group
You will journey with a consistent small group (limited to 10 women), creating opportunities for connection, encouragement, and shared growth.
Private Group Texting Community
If you choose, you can stay connected between sessions through a supportive group messaging community. It's exciting to share in each others' breakthroughs and wins!
Monthly Combined Q&A Call
Once each month, both coaching groups will come together for a live question-and-answer and coaching call.
Practical Tools for Real Life
In addition to the live meetings, you'll have access to a variety of video and print resources to reinforce your learning. You'll find principles and practices you can apply to your relationships, emotional life, spiritual growth, decision-making, and personal stewardship.
What if I want individual coaching?
One-on-one coaching is a fantastic way to deepen your understanding and apply these principles to your unique situation.
Wise Woman students will receive a special bonus deal on a 5-session personal coaching package (details below).
Hi! I'm EMILY...
...and I love truth everywhere I can find it!
I'm all for doing the Primary basics..."read the scriptures, go to church, pray"...but sometimes we - or at least I - need other windows to shed light on our understanding.
As President Oaks taught recently,
"We are grateful to know that there are two methods of gaining needed knowledge: (1) the evolving disclosures of man discovered by the scientific method and (2) the truths disclosed by the spiritual method, which begins with faith in God and relies on scriptures, inspired teaching, and personal revelation. There is no ultimate conflict between knowledge gained by these different methods because God, our omnipotent Eternal Father, knows all truth and beckons us to learn by both methods." [BYU devotional, Feb 2026]
My teachings draw on truths from three distinct disciplines:
Neurobiology. This field reveals incredible truths about our bodies, brains, emotions, and thought patterns....especially our capacity to change! My own unique struggles recovering from effects of a brain bleed have sent me deep into this research, including a training with a leading doctor of interpersonal neurobiology, Dr. Daniel Siegel. Our brains are absolutely miraculous, and I cannot get enough of learning about them and how that wisdom helps with human growth and development. (Seriously, this stuff is SO COOL!!)
Developmental psychology. Okay, more brain stuff, but this field teaches more about the motivations that influence so much of our behavior, including our relationships and our social needs. It also helps us understand what different parts of our brain evolved to DO. We can access those parts to get out of survival mode - crucial for a WISE woman! Many of the tools and practices I teach were developed by developmental psychologists to help you slow down and understand your thinking processes, so you can align them with your true beliefs and core values.
The Restored Gospel of Jesus Christ. While these other provide a wealth of helpful insights and tools, the Gospel of Jesus Christ adds the essential source of eternal truth. It's the why. It's the how. It's the light that illuminates everything we do understand, and the hopeful holding place for everything we don't understand yet. It's the power that helps when things are too hard to bear. And it's the joy of healing, of growth and purpose and progression.
As I've been on my own journey of untangling complicated emotions, working through challenging relationships, learning to love the body I have right now (dangit), and becoming a WISE Woman myself, I can say with certainty that THESE PRINCIPLES WORK. I use them every. single. day. in my own life. I see them transform the lives of the women I coach. I'm confident they can do the same for you!

Thoughts from women like you:
"My husband and I have been serving in Qatar for the last year and a half. Coaching with Emily has made such a difference in my mental health. I have learned to try to stay in 'my lane' and try hard not to fix things that I have no control over. I’ve learned that I do so much better when to love first and not judge. Emily has helped me realize that the things that go on in my brain are normal. When we bring the spirit into our lives we can overcome all. I try each day to be a wise woman and to love as the Savior loves."
-Karen, Qatar
"I began working with Emily soon after my mom passed away. She helped me navigate grief and forgiveness in a way I never could have done on my own. I have experienced so much growth and healing through our time together. Emily is absolutely lovely to work with. She is kind, compassionate and wise. She has a true gift for discerning needs, making connections and teaching true principles. Every time we meet I come away feeling focused, energized and encouraged to do the next right thing."
-Christie, Japan
"I am so grateful for this safe, intimate collective to grow together. The classes have been a great way to learn from others and learn new tools. It has helped me see where I have needed to grow, heal, and shine. My one-on-one coaching with Emily has given me space to share my heart and see my untrue stories in a safe way. Finding a growth point is like finding a gem. I can go forward with truth and learn how to imprint the truth in my body."
-Sharlene, Alaska
"I see results when I choose to act on promptings to grow, and so recognizing growth points becomes something I have started seeing differently. I'm more intentional about noticing growth points, and don't feel so discouraged about them. Instead, I am hopeful and almost excited when I notice a part of my life that I can improve. I have tools to refer to and feel more confident that I can have a positive impact through my choices."
-52-year-old, Utah
