The Emerge Podcast With Emily & Tanya

Hillary McBride is one wise woman. Hillary is a counselor, speaker, writer and student of the heart and how it affects the body. She is a wealth of knowledge about how we process relationships, and while she shares so much information with us, she does so with such wisdom and compassion. She is the author of a beautiful book called Mothers, Daughters and Body Image: Learning to Love Ourselves As We Are, and how that process can bring healing and restoration to our hearts, bodies and our relationships. Hillary is gifted at giving verbiage to some of the struggles we carry around with us in a beautiful blend of scientific and spiritual perspective. She engages the conversation about not only how we as adults process emotions, but also how we talk about feelings with our young children and how important/significant that is to their all around well being as they grow into men and women who can better connect to their Creator, to their own hearts and the hearts of those around them.
