She has also recently become a best-selling author and is a mum to three beautiful children. As well as mental health, Pete and Emma talk about writing, IVF, childhood and more. KEY TAKEAWAYS Emma says one of the bravest things she has done is write and publish her book ‘The Blue Line’ When Emma was going through her fertility journey she found that there were no books on the emotional journey of IVF, it was this that made her want to write. It is the book she would have needed to read at the time. Fire in the Belly, to Emma, is your passion, what makes you get up in the morning. Her fire in her belly is to create an environment where people can talk and are heard. If your workforce is mentally wealthy they will achieve more. They will be more productive and they will have less days off. Emma wants to create a legacy from her experience and book so that when she is no longer around there is a community and support for others.
