The pursuit of fearlessness

How it got started

SURVIVOR. ADVOCATE. PURSUER OF FEARLESSNESS.

Hi, welcome to the Pursuit of Fearlessness! I’m Emily. I’m a survivor, a self-defense instructor, an advocate for other survivors, and a firm believer in not letting fear dictate your life.

For years, I’ve dabbled in a role of empowerment - sharing my survivor story, teaching self-defense, and speaking out about sexual assault. Yet, I’ve always straddled the line of leading a life of someone who empowers and educates others, and leading a life of a seemingly normal millennial. 

In sticking with my belief of not letting fear dictate my life, I finally decided to own my role and be intentional about it. I started writing about my passions, about self-defense, and about feeling empowered to live my life the way I want to live it - without any restrictions. 

I founded the Pursuit of Fearlessness with a mission to empower others to be authentic, to embrace who they are and the journey that they are on, to live a life that isn’t guided by fear and to give insight into how we can use fear to our advantage. I hope you’ll join me on my pursuit of fearlessness.
