It's time to get your project made...
I'm your host Emily Grace and in addition to coaching my clients to create success on their own terms, I’m also a Sundance award-winning actress, a writer, director, producer, wife and dog mom.
I know what it’s like to wear many hats, be full of ambition, super busy yet still feel like I’m not making progress in any areas of my life.
I am on a mission to help as many women as I can, of all ages, shapes, sizes and colors, be successful creators.
If you have a burning desire to create, but you feel stuck, overwhelmed, too busy or you just don't know how to get started, the Make Sh*t Happen Summit was made for you!
You will walk away with all the tools you need to get your story told and make your voice heard. You are here to make an impact on your audience. And your audience needs your work, so let's get it moving and make some sh*t happen!
This online event is completely free, so it's accessible to all womxn everywhere. All you need to do is register.
I look forward to connecting with you during summit week!
