Meet Emily
Intuitive Advisor • 5/1 Splenic Projector • Business Strategist
As an intuitive, I experience and understand people, systems, and dynamics energetically.
Before starting eighty8 vision, I spent 15+ years operating inside rapid-growth, owner-led businesses across industries and business models. Partnering directly with founders to build, lead, and scale teams, systems, and operational structure. From supporting early-stage entrepreneurs building their first teams to leading organizations through acquisition.
My career has been a study of people and systems and how they interact.
Today, eighty8 vision allows me to apply the same intuitive knowing I've used in business and large group dynamics to individuals. My insight expands perspective, moves people through uncertainty, and helps them develop deeper trust in their own intuition.
Through Business Advisory, I help women and nonbinary entrepreneurs build companies that are operationally sound, energetically aligned, and supportive of the lives they want to create.
Through Intuitive Guidance, I work with individuals and small groups across all areas of life, offering focused sessions that create greater clarity and perspective.
For Women Entrepreneurs
Women-owned businesses are increasing in number but declining in their share of total revenue. In 2025, women owned 41.8% of all privately held U.S. businesses, yet generated only 12.5% of all privately held revenue, down from 13.9% the year prior.
Between 2022 and 2025, women-owned businesses grew nearly twice as fast as men-owned businesses, yet only ~9% of women-owned businesses have employees. Those ~9% generate ~82% of all women-owned revenue.
The question is not whether women-owned businesses are capable of claiming their proportionate share of the market.
The question is what is actually limiting them.
eighty8 vision helps women and nonbinary entrepreneurs build companies that are operationally sound, energetically aligned, and supportive of the lives they want to create.
We evaluate organizations and owners by recognizing where structure needs to be built or redesigned, energy is leaking, opportunities are being missed, there's misalignment or stuck energy, and where the business is either supporting or working against the people inside it.
The Framework
Developed by eighty8 vision, The Framework is the lens through which businesses and their owners are understood and evaluated.
It is not a program to join or a course to move through.
Business ownership creates an unusually interconnected and inescapable relationship between work and personal life.
For women, the lines blur even further.
This means building businesses while navigating conditions that don't affect most men the same way: disproportionate caregiving expectations, domestic and emotional labor, and professional environments designed around men's lives, leadership patterns, and definitions of success.
Most business advice treats the owner and the business as separate.
They aren't.
Businesses are dense ecosystems of energy.
Systems, structure, relationships, culture, behaviors, and customers interact and influence how a business functions as a whole.
As an owner, your personal life is part of that ecosystem. Your health and wellbeing, relationships, fulfillment, capacity, and sense of stability all draw from and replenish the same resources.
Understanding energy creates leverage.
That's why I don't evaluate operational structure, owner behavior, or stage independently.
Relationship to the Business
How the owner thinks, makes decisions, leads, tolerates pressure, allocates energy, relates to money, identifies with the business, and integrates it into the rest of their life.
Most business constraints begin here before they become operational.
Operational Structure
How the business has been built to function through systems, processes, roles, accountability, collaboration, and execution.
Structure is the accumulated result of the owner's decisions, omissions, standards, and priorities over time.
5 Stages of Business Development
The predictable stages owner-led businesses move through, each with distinct requirements, constraints, and readiness markers for what comes next.
Stages are not defined by revenue, headcount, or years in operation, but by what the business requires structurally and what it requires from the owner in order to sustain and evolve.
Structure reflects the owner.
Stage changes what is required.
Owner evolution determines what becomes possible.
The Result
When structure, stage, and owner evolution align, the business becomes supportive of the life surrounding it.
Decisions become clearer. Growth becomes healthier. Operational structure creates stability instead of dependency.
The result is a business better equipped to support growth, complexity, and the demands of the owner's life without requiring chronic overextension to sustain it.
5 Stages of Business Development
The 5 Stages framework is a roadmap of the predictable shifts owner-led businesses move through as they grow in complexity.
Different stages require fundamentally different operational structures, leadership approaches, decision-making, and relationships between the owner and the business itself.
What creates growth in one stage often becomes a constraint in the next. The lack of stage-appropriate operational structure and owner evolution early on creates overextension and unnecessary re-work as the business grows.
The framework helps owners orient, prioritize, focus, and prepare.
Each stage has an aligned expression, a misaligned expression, and distinct markers of readiness for what comes next.
Progression is not the goal. Each stage is neutral.
The owner is every function, every decision, and every process. Revenue is irregular and the business model is still forming. Progress is tied directly to the owner's execution, availability, and capacity. The patterns established here become the foundation the business scales from.
The business has outgrown what one person can sustain. Revenue is consistent enough to prove the concept but the owner's capacity is fully consumed by maintaining what exists. The ceiling is no longer the market. The ceiling is the owner.
Collaboration becomes necessary. The owner still plays a central role in executing day-to-day work while also managing, delegating, and building processes around themselves.
Leadership identity and operational structure become the primary developmental challenges. Opportunities for growth and expansion increase, and the ability to evaluate them against long-term goals, operational realities, and personal capacity becomes critical.
Decisions made now determine how the business functions moving forward.
The business has departments, systems, specialties, and processes that function independently of the owner's daily involvement. The owner's role shifts from executing the work to leading people, systems, and the increasing complexity that comes with scale.
The business has its own trajectory, identity, and momentum independent of the owner. The owner's role shifts from building and operating the business to stewarding its long-term direction, sustainability, and impact.
The questions at this stage are no longer about how to make the business function, but about how the business continues to fit into the owner's life, priorities, and future.
ServicesAll work begins with an evaluation of your business and your relationship to it.
Business Evaluation
Most owners are spending time and energy on outcomes without clear visibility into and understanding of the structural, operational, or behavioral patterns creating them.
The Business Evaluation diagnoses underlying dynamics and distinguishes symptoms from root causes.
It surfaces where operational structure, stage of development, owner behavior, and stated goals are working against one another. I identify risks, opportunities, constraints, and the patterns shaping the business's current trajectory.
The evaluation establishes a clear understanding of how the business is operating and identifies the highest-leverage opportunities for change.
Intake
You complete a questionnaire before the session. It captures a snapshot of the business, how you operate inside it, and what you want it to support. The intake focuses the session and ensures the time is used efficiently.
Session
90 to 120 minutes. Live, on camera.
The session is a structured diagnostic conversation. The intake and my experience determine where the conversation starts, but the direction evolves as I gain a deeper understanding of you and your business.
The purpose of the session is information gathering and diagnosis, not live problem-solving. Final findings, conclusions, and recommendations are provided afterward through the written evaluation.
Evaluation
A written evaluation is delivered via email after the session. The document includes:
- In-depth evaluation of the business's current stage and whether the operational structure, business model, owner behaviors, and available capacity are aligned with what that stage requires
- Primary structural, operational, and ownership constraints
- Your role in those constraints
- Where current operations conflict with stated goals, available capacity, stage requirements, or next stage readiness
- Highest-leverage priorities and opportunities and why they matter
- Risks if nothing changes
- Recommendation for continued work if appropriate
Business Evaluation
Advisory Services
Advisory Services focus on where the greatest impact can be made for your life and your business based on the Business Evaluation.
Areas of focus may include:
Your Business
- Operational structure and process design
- Support through growing pains
- Hiring strategy and future hiring planning
- Employee training and delegation
- Pricing strategy
- Business model evolution
- Customer and client positioning
You
- Capacity and energy allocation
- Confidence and leadership identity
- Goal setting and strategic direction
- Personal and professional boundaries
- Relationship with money and the business itself
Advisory Services are highly contextual. There is no standardized approach because no two businesses or owners are the same.
Scope, structure, and pricing are determined by the nature of the work and the level of support required. Engagements are typically project-based and/or episodic, adapting as you and your business evolve over time.
Frequently Asked Questions
Intuitive Guidance Sessions
Sessions are organized by your relationship to the topic you bring. Choose the one that best reflects where you are today.
These are active sessions intended to move energy.
The goal is a deeper trust in your own knowing.
Each begins with a questionnaire completed at the time of booking. I review and feel into your responses before we meet, helping guide our work together.
I recognize that access to this kind of work isn't equally available to everyone. If you identify as BIPOC and cost is a barrier, an alternative pricing option is available when booking.
Discovery Session
For uncertainty, transition, exploration, or confusion in an area of your life. A situation, a relationship, a career transition, a recurring pattern, or a hard time organizing your thoughts. We'll work toward greater understanding, perspective, and language.
Decision Session
You have a choice to make and want additional perspective to feel more confident, clear, and aligned. We'll explore the options, motivations, tradeoffs, consequences, unseen influences, and likely trajectories.
Challenge Session
An idea, plan, strategy, belief, assumption, or decision that needs a pressure test or rigorous examination. Bring me your thinking. I'll identify blind spots, weaknesses, overlooked variables, contradictions, risks, and alternative perspectives.
If your thinking holds, you'll leave with greater confidence. If something important has been missed, we'll find it before reality does.
Intuitive Guidance

Frequently Asked Questions
Anything you're seeking greater understanding around.
Relationships, work, your business, life transitions, personal growth, or experiences that don't quite make sense.
Intuitive Guidance sessions are intended to support reflection, perspective, and personal decision making. They are not a substitute for medical, mental health, legal, or financial advice or services.
My role is not to make decisions for you or tell you what your life should look like.
The purpose of our work is to help you align by expanding your perspective, challenging assumptions, and identifying what may be missing.
Yes.
I work with small groups of two to five people who are looking to better understand one another, navigate a difficult conversation, strengthen communication, or work through a shared decision.
I serve as a neutral mirror and translator, helping each person better understand the intentions, language, and perspective of the others. Together, we identify what's getting in the way, explore overlooked possibilities, generate new ideas, and move the conversation toward greater clarity and alignment.
These sessions are for relationships where everyone has an equal voice in the conversation, including partners, adult family members, friends, neighbors, and business partners.
Intuitive Guidance is not dependent on any particular modality or system.
I use tarot, astrology, Human Design, ritual, and meditation personally and value each of them deeply. I encourage clients to explore the practitioners and practices that resonate with them and believe they all complement one another beautifully.
Occasionally, astrology or Human Design may offer additional context or support during a session, so we may reference them. They are tools for understanding, not the foundation of the work.
For first-time clients, no.
Intuitive Guidance sessions include time beforehand for me to review your questionnaire and begin connecting with what you're bringing. During our conversation, we explore multiple layers of a situation, allowing new perspectives to emerge, which requires more space than a brief session allows.
For returning clients, shorter sessions may be an option. Once we've worked together, there's already an established understanding of you, your context, and your energy.
