Meet Emily


Emily Hyland is a poet, restaurateur, educator, and mindful movement teacher. Her debut collection of poetry, Divorced Business Partners, explores the complex nature of a relationship's evolution from marriage through ugly divorce into unexpected kinship.


Emily Hyland’s debut collection, Divorced Business Partners: A Love Story-
not unlike Emily's own. It follows the tender, brutal, routine, awkward and aching unraveling of a marriage. While building what would become a successful restaurant. It maps the disintegration of the couple's primal bond.
how does grief find us in the smallest moments? What is family when it's broken? 

We talk about the power of writing and her process to find her way to a better relationship with her ex. 

Emily shares her full circle story of marriage, divorce, business partners, loss, grief, finding yourself again, teacher, yoga, the power of writing, and her new  full circle and her forever husband. This is NOT to be missed.
