Emily Burnett—Writer and Traill Guide for Dreamers & Doers

Emily Burnett

Former tech manager → writer & trail guide. I help people prepare for and take their leaps—the money part, the doing part, the courage part. Author of Dear Fellow Dreamer and Dear Fellow Spender. Writing stories at moretoyour.life.

People tell me they find relatability, inspiration, and hope in my writing and the risks I've taken.

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.

An AI and Life Wake-up Call for, Oh, Everyone: A non-technical, non-heavy look at using AI thoughtfully, waking up to its implications, and what it can never replace about being human.
The Magic in Uncertainty: We cling hard to certainty, but the memories and the growth come from change. Here’s how you do it and mindsets for the messy middle.
Dear Fellow Dreamer: What If You’re Not Actually Lost? Real talk about ambition, reinvention, and reminders that you’re never starting from zero.

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 Dreamer:

Waking Up, Taking Chances, and Creating a Life of Your Own

Dear Fellow Dreamer is based on my journey leaving the "security" of corporate life for the third time.

It was time 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.

It's time for you to do the same. For those of you already working on your dreams, you'll find welcome companionship and inspiration in this book.

Dear Fellow Spender:

Enjoy Managing Your Money to Get Out of Debt, Build Savings, and Create a Life You Love

This only sort of a money book. It's honestly more of a life book about creating what you want for your life with your current money, not just settling for the life you're currently affording. Status quo only works for so long.

If you're going to be ready for AI job disruption, and be able to do something about your dreams, getting your money organized and maximized makes all the difference.
