Give Me My Body Back!Body image and self esteem advocate Emme, believes in order to achieve peace and great success in one's life, one must attain positive self esteem. Without it, we live a life half realized. In an often funny, yet truthful and sincere presentation, she openly discusses the basics in body image and self esteem. What roles they play in our lives, how they affect our world, and how, if not maintained well, may lead you away from your hard earned goals.
Emme will help you release body bashing, negative self talk, and taking other's negative talk personally. She will address guilt, binge eating/drinking, irrational dieting, and learning how to get off the vicious and seemingly never ending cycle of self hatred affecting millions of women and children every day. Through her 20 years of personal experience and thousands of stories from around the world including her Emmestyle.com community, Emme will shed light on the psychology behind marketing to women, how to offset the onslaught of promotion fueling capitalism, and how to apply simple steps toward emotional, physical and situational freedom for your personal life and professional career.

Since the birth of her daughter in 2001, Emme began to explore ways to reuse and recycle, choosing mass transit whenever possible, and picking up garbage along the Jersey Shore. Emme stepped up her green when she was diagnosed with cancer. Out went all conventional household cleaners, filters were placed on all water sources in her home, green juicing became a daily routine. She embraced a more self-sustainable lifestyle including more carpooling, bus rides and bike riding.
You will connect, commiserate and learn from her life lessons while relating to her recycling efforts as the ever growing pile of glass jars, twine, used wrapping paper and hand me downs leaves her screaming, "enough is enough!" (But just for a second!)
Emme reveals her own cancer and its treatments-including the emotional, physical and psychological obstacles that she was driven to overcome. Emme delivers an intimate, proactive view of her battle with Hodgkins Lymphoma.
She shares her personal and uplifting journey through the medical maze of cancer highlighting her own efforts to marry conventional medicine with holistic care. Emme discusses her quest for reliable information as well as the healing methods she used in conjunction with her chemotherapy and even her post-treatment.
She speaks to the benefits of the additional therapies which helped maintain her vivaciousness and how the combination of conventional and holistic approaches can offset the negative affects of chemotherapy, without affecting the protocol itself.
In this program Emme will highlight her personal struggle with her disordered body image and self esteem and the journey she took to make her mind, body and spirit connection whole. She will present the hard facts of where we are as a nation around eating disorders and how that impacts society.
Emme will deliver a "how to know you or a friend has an eating disorder." She will outline where to get help on campus, on-line, and also offer a suggested book list.
Included in this program is an overview on how to create your own healthy self image and how to be a media watch dog that demands all media outlets deliver the same healthy body image of women.

Emme, the supermodel, television personality, author, lecturer, clothing designer, and nationally recognized body image and self esteem advocate has a clear mission: to awaken the inner magnificence inherent in each of us.

She was the first model to speak to these issues before a congressional sub-committee in Washington, D.C. Says Emme, "We live in a society that is based upon the attainment of unrealistic beauty. I want women to know their self-esteem is not contingent upon their dress size."

Cancer Survivor
Diagnosed in May 2007 with stage 2A Hodgkin's disease—a form of lymphoma that is often curable with chemotherapy and radiation—the model soon adopted a holistic lifestyle.

After surgery and nearly three months of chemo, with Emme showing up each time with a different friend ("I had 12 'chemo buddies,'" she says). Her doctor declared her cancer-free in November 2007 and Emme declared "The most important thing I've learned, is no matter what life throws at you, you can handle it."
