Meet Em
Hi, I’m Em. Life has stretched me through divorce, single motherhood, aging parents, and career transitions - but those seasons reshaped my heart and renewed my calling. That’s how Em Smith, LLC was born: a space to help moms create homes rooted in faith, wellness, and meaningful family adventures. I believe we’re not meant to do life alone, and I’m honored to walk alongside families in Richmond and beyond who want to live more fully by God’s design.
Faith-rooted adventures + workshops for moms
I started my business after losing my job, using what I already had, my van, 15 years of travel experience, and a passion for living by God’s design—to create small, meaningful adventures and share practical guidance for healthier, faith-centered family living.
What It’s Like to Work With Me
1. Connect & Share Your Goals
We start with a quick conversation where you tell me what you’re hoping to create for your family—whether that’s a meaningful field trip, a faith-rooted workshop, or guidance for natural living. I listen closely so your experience feels personal, aligned, and pressure-free.
2. I Plan, Prepare, and Curate Everything
You can relax while I handle the details—from choosing the location or topics to gathering materials and creating a Christ-centered, hands-on experience. Everything is intentionally designed so your family can learn, explore, and live more fully without added stress.
3. Enjoy a Simple, Meaningful Experience Together
All you do is show up—whether in person or online—and enjoy a warm, engaging session that leaves you encouraged, equipped, and connected. Each experience ends with practical takeaways you can bring into your home and daily rhythms right away.

#SpreadRealBread Workshop Testimonial:
Attending Em’s at-home bread-making class was an absolute delight! The atmosphere she created was warm, welcoming, and full of positive energy. From the very beginning, Em made everyone feel comfortable and confident, guiding us step by step through each stage of the bread-making process with incredible clarity and patience.
Her attention to detail and resourcefulness stood out—she thoughtfully anticipated our questions and shared so many helpful tips to ensure our doughs turned out just right. Em’s enthusiasm was contagious, turning what could have felt like a challenging process into a relaxed and truly enjoyable experience.
Everything from her friendly communication to the final taste-testing session reflected how much care and thought she puts into her classes. The fresh bread at the end was the perfect reward for such an engaging, hands-on workshop. Highly recommend Em’s class to anyone who loves good bread and even better company!

Deuteronomy 24:6 - “Don’t seize a handmill or an upper millstone as collateral for a loan. You’d be seizing someone’s very life.”
This space was created for families who want simpler rhythms, deeper connection, and a way of living that reflects God’s design.
Through workshops and adventures, I help make intentional living practical, joyful, and rooted in faith.
│Van Chauffeur Testimonial - “I was a passager with Em while traveling to a women’s conference. I felt like a VIP traveling with her. She is a great person to travel with and she took such good care to ensure our safety. I was able to relax and have wonderful conversations with my companions because Em demonstrated a steadiness in her care for us the entire trip. She packed snacks for the road and offered them to us to enjoy. I was very fortunate to have been a part of her caravan.” — Brenda
│Real Bread Testimonial - “I have been eating Emily’s freshly milled loaf bread and muffins for over a year. Her blueberry/spelt muffins are addictive. I have IBS and feel her breads have really helped with frequency of attacks. Besides being so fresh and healthy; they are so very much better tasting than anything you can buy in the grocery store.” — Patricia
│Van Chauffeur Testimonial - “Em drove five women to our weekend retreat on the river. We were able to fellowship and enjoy the ride to the house without the distractions and stress of driving in traffic. We also had plenty of room for our luggage and groceries. Em will make sure you are comfortable and do her best to meet your expectations on time and comfort.” — Sherri
