Inspire Wise Women

I'm Emily Sheff, a travelling filmmaker on a journey to empower women through storytelling. 

Today’s world often feels overwhelming, and if I don’t work at it, I can spiral in fear. A few years ago I fell into a deep state of depression that lasted 2 years, but it was inspiring women sharing their story online that truly saved me. It’s easy to become siloed and disconnected, but community can bring healing.

At 41, I’ve left my corporate 9-5 and moved into my converted camper van to travel and film Inspire Wise Women documentaries. There’s something magical about a woman in mid-life or later, who's been through the trenches and comes out the other side more resilient. While my mental health is doing much better, I still have a lot to learn, so I’ve set out to uncover the stories of some of our wisest matriarchs. Just call me a wise-woman in training! 

I hope the passing down of these stories will open hearts, and help uplift our global community of women and feminine aligned.
