Hi! I’m Emma Mulvany
I’m an Empowered Leadership Mentor for Women Business Owners ready for a new wave of leadership - one where we stop hustling and overriding our rhythms and instead live and lead as the sovereign women we are.
I serve as the Co-Leader of The Women’s Entrepreneur Collective of Arlington Heights and am the host of the Rising Together Podcast: Local Women Leading Differently.
“I believe power can be soft, steady, and deeply rooted. And I believe simplicity is not less — it’s the way back to yourself, and the way forward in business.”
A New Kind of Leadership
I’ve never been interested in the loud kind of success — the glossy, hustle-hard, prove-your-worth version we’ve been sold.
I believe in a quieter power.
The kind that doesn’t shout to be heard, but is felt.
The kind that trusts its own rhythm.
At my core, I’m a simple woman. A wife, a mother of 4, and someone who has always been more interested in meaning than in appearances.
My own path has been full of both striving and surrender — learning the hard way that chasing achievement without alignment leads to burnout, not fulfillment.
I spent years trying to meet expectations that were never really mine.
I checked the boxes. I hustled. I wore the mask of “together.”
And underneath, I felt the same thing so many women feel: exhausted, disconnected, and quietly wondering if this was all there was supposed to be.
That questioning is what led me here — to my work, to my own healing, and to a new way of seeing business.
Out of that journey, I created the Rhythmic Business Strategy™.
Not another formula, not another layer of complexity, but a way to honor your natural cycles and seasons while building a business that is truly yours.
A path to unlearn the conditioning, cast off the limiting beliefs, and remember who you are without all the noise.
My work is not about adding more. It’s about simplifying.
It’s about coming home to yourself.
It’s about creating a business that feels nourishing, impactful, and sustainable — not because you’ve done everything, but because you’ve done what matters.
I Wear All the Hats, too.
I’m a mom of 4 kids, ranging in age from 10 months to 8 years old. I’ve built my business from home with kids at my ankles - at naptimes, in the quiet moments of the morning and evenings, and in my car at school pickups.
When I say I get it, I mean I get it.
I have a wonderful support system in my husband and have grown a beautiful community around me, but it wasn’t always that way. And there are still heavy times when I wonder if I’ll ever come up for air.
But I always come back to this truth: if I honor myself and my rhythms, I’ll always be ok.
When I’m not running after little ones who put everything in their mouths or shuttling between schools, I’m reading, journaling, cooking, walking, or connecting with women in my community over steaming mugs of coffee - my favorite!
