The character

A way of seeing.

Emily turns a vague intention into something you can repeat. She is interested in the structure around a habit as much as the habit itself: the space, the sequence, the unnecessary step. Her voice is clear and practical, with a preference for a small working system over a beautifully complicated plan.
