However you’ve found your way here, hello. I’m Emily Troscianko, and this is where all the
roots and branches of what I do come together.
My writing, research, and coaching all explore what it means to live, work, and recover
well—and how ideas become actions that shape lives.
Over the years, my “work” has branched and intertwined in ways I’d never have predicted:
coaching and children’s books, hiking and research, blogging and lifting, and a newsletter
that ties it all (a little messily) together.
My activities live across three sites: this one, troscianko.com; my eating disorder-focused
one, hungerartist.org; and the most recent addition to the forest, the home of my publishing imprint tamariskbooks.org.
If you’re not sure where to start, try out whatever catches your eye below. I hope that
whichever path you take, you’ll find something that speaks meaningfully to your own
experiments in thinking and doing.
Think
Research on reading, health, and consciousness
If you’re drawn to the more systematic kinds of inquiry—whether into the experiences we
have when we read, how reading affects our health (and vice versa), how eating disorder
treatment could be improved, or how on earth to get our heads around the mystery of
consciousness—you could start with my research (in general or on eating disorders
specifically) or with the textbook on consciousness I co-authored with my mother, Sue
Blackmore.
Do
Coaching, courses, and workshops
If you’re ready to turn insight into action (and thus also generate more insight!), you can
explore my coaching offerings (for recovery from eating- and body-related problems, or with an academic work/life and career focus). Or you could try a guided experiment like
my Design Your Dream Morning course, or check out the writing workshops I run for
universities.
Read
Blogging and storytelling
For the more literary side of my work, visit Tamarisk Books, my self-publishing imprint and
home for projects that bridge scholarship and story. Or dip into my Psychology Today blog, exploring what makes eating disorder recovery possible, or my more personal blog, which includes longer-form reflections not only about recovery, but from a mind shaped by it.
