Emily Bowers grew up in a small town in Florida, raised by a mother who abused and then abandoned her. As an adult, Emily recognized that she was caught in a cycle of generational trauma and set out to change patterns and become a very different mom than the mothers in her family. With the support of her therapist, friends, and family, including her unofficially adopted mother, Emily learned to love herself and help others do the same. She lives in Vero Beach, Florida, with her husband, their three young children, and one Great Pyrenees, Josie.
