I’m Emily Erstad, a multi-passionate indie author, strategic leader, and soulful coach guiding others to live and lead with intention, clarity, and heart. As the author of It’s Not That Deep, I explore the intersections of emotion, identity, growth, and leadership through a deeply human lens.

​

With a Master’s in Speech-Language Pathology and years of experience in therapy, healthcare leadership, and operations strategy, I bring both clinical insight and heart-centered leadership to my work. I currently serve as a Regional Operations Strategist and Executive Director in the hospice space, where I lead with empathy and vision.

As a trusted voice in Soulful Leadership, I blend emotional intelligence with strategic thinking to inspire others to lead from within. Whether coaching emerging leaders, writing words that resonate, or curating grounded spaces for growth, my presence invites honesty, depth, and transformation.
