Emily Straubel is a writer and personal accountability coach who works with overthinkers and over-achievers to help get them out of their heads and into their bodies so they can be healthier, happier and lead the life they truly want. She founded The Red Lipstick Project as a place to talk openly about dating and sex and to connect with other intelligent women who want to find relationships that are as passionate and ambitious as they are. Emily also works with these women as a certified Holistic Health Coach to focus on their health and mindfulness as they go through breakups, job changes, and other transitions to feel and look amazing in their own unique bodies. She’s the columnist behind “The Sex Files,” a blog about dating and relationships on MaineToday.
