THIS IS HER AFTER
Emmy Sass
I've rebuilt my life from the ground up twice. Once from addiction, once from loss. Everything I’ve built came from what I refused to let break me.
What broke me became my blueprint to transformation.
I didn’t plan this life.
Three weeks before our wedding, my fiancé died unexpectedly. One moment we were finalizing our elopement plans. The next, I was canceling the biggest day of our lives and trying to survive the kind of heartbreak that takes everything with it.
I lost more than the man I loved. I lost the version of myself I had built my future around. My career collapsed. My income disappeared. I rehomed two of my dogs. Friends drifted away. I questioned everything, who I was, what I believed, and if I even wanted to keep going.
That is what grief does. It does not just break your heart. It breaks your identity.
And for a while, I was just surviving.
I did what most people do after devastation. I fell apart, got up, and fell apart again. Nothing made sense. Everyone wanted me to be better. But I did not want to be better. I wanted to be real.
I wanted to rebuild a life that actually fit the woman I was becoming, not the one people expected me to be.
So I started over. From scratch.
Therapy. Coaching. Boundaries. Bodywork. Business shifts. Mindset work. I let it all fall apart so I could rebuild with truth, discipline, and intention.
But this was not my first reconstruction. Before grief, I had already rebuilt my life once.
As a young woman, I battled and won an addiction that nearly destroyed me. Fourteen years sober, I am living proof that transformation is not theory. It is lived experience.
Addiction taught me accountability. Grief taught me resilience. Both demanded that I rebuild from the inside out through identity, direction, and purpose.
Those two defining seasons became the foundation of everything I teach today.
WHAT I DO
I am a certified Transformation Coach and Grief Expert. I guide women through the defining seasons of their lives, loss, reinvention, identity collapse, and the rebuilding that follows.
I founded Life Interrupted Foundation to help others survive what I barely could. And I built This Is Her After to help women do more than survive, to rebuild their lives with clarity, confidence, and control.
My coaching is not about healing the past. It is about taking full ownership of your future and executing the life you were meant to live.
This work is not theory. It is the framework I use to coach women and the standard I live by every day.
WHAT I STAND FOR
The Principles Behind the Process
- I stand for rebuilding with intention. For women who are done waiting to feel ready and are ready to take ownership of what comes next.
- I stand for discipline as a form of self respect. For building habits and boundaries that match the woman you say you are, not the one you used to be.
- I stand for clarity over chaos, execution over excuses, and action over analysis.
- I stand for women who are ready to redefine success, to move through grief, heartbreak, or transition and still rise with purpose and precision.
- I stand for truth, accountability, and identity that is self built, not circumstantial.
Because the real transformation is not in talking about change. It is living in action and intention.
