Speaking Topics

Emily Donehoo is the only female in a family of five.  She yearns for honesty and friendly estrogen-minded folk.  She is a former High School English Teacher and National Trainer for the College Board.  She loves to speak authentically about the hard stuff that really matters, hoping to uncover the Truth that God has for us whether it makes us cry from laughter, pain or both at the same time.
She would love to share with your women’s group on any of the following topics:

"Because I Think It's Funny"
It's a little Stand-Up Comedy. It's a lot of story-telling. It's fun games for the group. I think the games, stories, and jokes are funny, so if I don't amuse your group, at least I'll amuse myself.

"I'm a Grown-Up and I Can Buy Twinkies Whenever I Want."  The Story of Finding My Identity
I found it, but it's a long story. Email me and I'll come tell it to your group!

“Measuring Stick”
I’m measuring you, and you’re measuring me.  But more than that, we measure ourselves against an invisible measuring stick that when no one is watching, we beat ourselves with, “Rat a tat tat, rat a tat tat… Up one arm and down the other…”  Does God have a measuring stick?   If so, how do we measure up?

"Everybody Likes Me Better When I'm Naked" A Talk on Vulnerability
This one is a little weird, friends. But I promise you'll take away something important from it.

"Well(ness) with Our Minds, Bodies, and Souls"
We are not just a mind or a body or a soul. And even in the midst of an attack on any of the three, we can be well.

"Good Grief"
Miscarriage, loss, infidelity... Even though grieving is hard and difficult, grief can be good.

"The Angry Mommy"
Gurrrlllll, I struggle with anger. Here's my story of how God's helping me heal it.

"Being Married to Another Human"
If you haven't realized that you've married the wrong man and you want to leave yet, are you even in your 30s-40s and married?

"Friendship"
Friendship when you're a mom is ESSENTIAL. Here are some great stories a few ways to help your friendships flourish in this crazy isolating time of life.

"Forgiveness"
I hit 39 and realized that I didn't REALLY know how to forgive because for the past 39 years, I'd been running away from or shaking the bad feelings from my brain like an Etch-a-Sketch. I had to teach myself how to forgive, and Anne Lamott says, "Earth is forgiveness school." So I started deliberately taking classes. I'll tell you the story.

"10 Ways to Live a Happier Life"
I wasn't happy in my life, so I started studying how to be. Here's what I learned.
