Emily Living Well
Preparing faithfully for hard things — one day at a time.
I’m Emily — a mom of four walking through hip dysplasia and preparing for PAO surgery.
This space is where I document preparation, faith, discipline with limitations, and hope when the body doesn’t cooperate.
Why I'm Sharing This
When I was facing this surgery, I searched everywhere for real stories — not just medical explanations, but honest experiences.
This is that space.
Not polished.
Not perfect.
Just real life, shared with purpose.
The 80-Day Challenge
I’m currently in an 80-day season of preparation leading up to surgery.
This challenge is about:
• Stewarding the body you have
• Preparing without guarantees
• Choosing discipline that fits your reality
• Showing up even when it’s hard
You don’t need surgery to follow along.
You just need a season where your body isn’t cooperating.
What You'll Find Here
• My PAO journey (pre-op, surgery, recovery)
• Daily routines + adaptations
• Faith reflections
• Encouragement for women walking through physical limitations
• Honest updates — the good and the hard
You’re Welcome Here
If you’re preparing for something hard — physically, mentally, or spiritually — you’re welcome here.
