We had the good fortune of connecting with Emefa Boamah and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Emefa, we’d love to hear about how you approach risk and risk-taking
I have come to see risk-taking as an integral part of life and career. Through my own experiences, I have learned to approach risk with a blend of courage, adaptability, and resilience. The pivotal moments in my life, such as moving to a new country and battling COVID-19, have shown me the transformative power of taking risks.

Risk-taking, to me, means embracing change and venturing into the unknown. It involves stepping out of my comfort zone and being open to new possibilities. It requires a willingness to adapt and navigate unfamiliar territories, even in the face of uncertainty or adversity.

In my journey, I have discovered the importance of authenticity and self-discovery. Taking risks has allowed me to reclaim my true identity and live life on my own terms. By betting on myself and starting my own business, I have experienced the empowering feeling of investing in my own potential and pursuing my passions.

While risk-taking can be daunting, I have learned to approach fear in a mindful way. I acknowledge its presence but refuse to let it hold me back. Instead, I give myself and others grace, understanding that fear is a natural part of the journey. It’s about finding the balance between being cautious and taking calculated risks.

Through it all, risk-taking has played a vital role in shaping my life and career. It has taught me valuable lessons, fueled personal growth, and opened doors to new opportunities. I’ve come to understand that the outcomes may not always be guaranteed, but the process of taking risks itself is a catalyst for growth and transformation.

So, I embrace risk-taking as a necessary and exciting part of life, knowing that it has the potential to lead me to uncharted territories, self-discovery, and fulfillment.

Can you open up a bit about your work and career? We’re big fans and we’d love for our community to learn more about your work.
I’m thrilled to tell you more about my work and what sets me apart. My mission revolves around creating a global movement focused on Embodied Healing. I’m wholeheartedly dedicated to supporting female leaders who have experienced trauma and may feel lost, stuck, or confused. My purpose is to hold sacred space for them, enabling them to reclaim their bodies, find their voices, and amplify their impact without burning out.

At the core of my being, I am identify as a Healer from the Ewe Tribe in Ghana, West Africa. As a coach and embodiment facilitator, I draw upon my Ghanaian lineage, personal experience as a trauma survivor, and professional training to guide women through an integrated embodiment coaching process that brings about tangible and lasting change. In essence, I serve as a Women’s Life & Business Coach, specializing in Healing and Leading through Embodiment.

What truly sets me apart is the unique combination of cultural wisdom, personal experience, and professional expertise that I bring to my work. I hold a profound reverence for the power of the body and its profound connection to healing and transformation. By seamlessly integrating embodiment practices, coaching methodologies, and trauma-informed approaches, I create a safe and nurturing space where women can embark on their personal healing journeys.

I take immense pride in my ability to guide women in reclaiming their bodies, finding their voices, and stepping into their leadership potential. Through my work, I empower women to embody their authentic selves, embrace their inner strength, and create meaningful impact in their lives and communities.

The path I’ve traveled professionally hasn’t been an easy one. Along the way, I encountered numerous challenges. However, I overcame them by cultivating resilience, maintaining a growth mindset, and embracing adaptability. Additionally, I learned the power of building a supportive network of like-minded individuals who share my vision and values. The lessons I’ve learned on this journey have profoundly shaped me, both personally and professionally. They have taught me the immense value of taking risks, the strength that resilience brings, and the beauty of reclaiming one’s true identity. My brand and story are a testament to these lessons, as well as my unwavering commitment to making a positive impact in the world.

Ultimately, I want the world to know that my work is driven by an authentic passion to effect meaningful change.
