Emily Burnett

Author, writer, coach, pickleball teacher and whatever else I end up doing. In my professional work, I focus on roots and wings: personal autonomy, financial empowerment, and meaningful living.

People tell me they find relatability, inspiration, and hope in my work—and gratefully, they appreciate and sometimes find my stories funny.

How I can help:

I'd love to help you or your organization in one of the following ways:

Financial coaching: I help smart people get organized financially, break up with debt, and learn to use their money & time to intentionally create a life they like.
Speaking: I talk with groups about preparing for AI possibilities and disruption,* increasing your personal autonomy, and taking risks to make a life of your own.
Get in touch
*AI disruption is a party coming for all of us. I put some of my thoughts and research on the subject into a conversational primer called "An AI and Life Wake-Up Call for, Oh, Everyone." It's for us regular people about AI, using it, and how it could change everything about how we live—fast.

Books

Dear Fellow Spender: Enjoy Using Your Money to Get Out of Debt, Build Savings, and Create a Life You Love

This is not actually a book about spending less. It's a book about the art, pleasure, and perks of managing your money well. In it, I share my road into and out of debt, falling in love with proactive money management (aka budgeting—a happy kind), and my experiences helping others change their money and lives. Readers find the book encouraging, relatable, and practical, and I can't wait for you to read it.

Dear Fellow Dreamer: Waking Up, Taking Chances, and Creating a Life of Your Own

If Book #1 was based on my journey out of debt and falling in love with proactive money management, Book #2 is based on my journey leaving the "security" of corporate life to take a chance on myself and my dreams, to discover what actually makes life rich, and to get comfortable with the uncertainty we may all be facing in an AI future.
