From Paralysis to Purpose: Finding Resilience with Emma Price

The Big Talk with Tricia Brouk

Show Notes

This is a very special episode for me as I introduce you to a dear friend and member of my team, Emma Price.

Emma is an educator, speaker, and advocate whose work explores motherhood, disability, infertility, and resilience. With over twelve years in elementary education, she began her career as a classroom teacher and later became a private tutor specializing in literacy and executive functioning, helping students build confidence and independence.

Emma now serves as my amazing Executive Assistant here at The Big Talk and makes it possible for me to support leaders globally in sharing their voices on major stages.

She has spoken internationally on disability, access to education, resilience, and the power of desire, bringing a grounded, deeply human perspective to conversations about life transitions and rebuilding identity after adversity.

In this episode, we'll explore:

Why resilience is relative to each person's experience

Emma's experience of speaking from healing, not wounds, and how this can impact your speaker journey

How we successfully navigate working together while maintaining our friendship

The reason your desire signals what's possible for you, and why overcoming limiting beliefs is ongoing work

Emma's current favorites: Book: All the Light We Cannot See, Speaker: Emily Oster, and Podcasts: Good Hang & Landlines
