Six Degrees Society has been fundamental to my business and life. I have not only met aligned clients, but incredible friends and inspiring colleagues.
Having a curated match to deeply connect with is an absolute game-changer. When I looked at my end-of-year finances, I was astonished at how much income was coming directly from SDS leads and connections. I can’t speak highly enough about the power of this authentic, fun, heart-driven community.


Kelley Hoag, M.S.
Self-Trust Coach | Founder
Above all Emily has curated a space where entrepreneurs can feel safe, supported and encouraged to share both their wins and discuss their struggles, helping cultivate tangible solutions. I can't recommend Six Degrees Mastermind enough, it helped me see my business from a birds eye view allowing me to fill in gaps, set up systems for more consistent growth, and develop tangible plans and strategies that yielded me results.

Emily has changed the course of my business, and my social life. As a new entrepreneur, I didn't have a clue what I was getting myself info. Emily came to my rescue. With her support, and connections, I now have collaboration opportunities, a network of my own, and a success group coaching program that I can run along side my full time job. Emily takes the "solo" out of solopreneur. She reinstalls the dream of what building a business should be like.


Celeste Harrington
Burnout Coach
Working with Emily has been incredibly inspiring. She is generous, encouraging and has helped me step into a new stage of my career, confidently. I've upgraded my systems, pivoted my coaching strategies and created new programming all during a pandemic. I highly recommend having Emily as your business coach and cheerleader!

I love being a member! Emily Merrell, i'm not shocked that she has found such an amazing community around her. Each event is inspiring, so educational. And the one-on-one's in the beginning, every time I have met an encouraging person on the other end. It's incredible, everyone is kind, supportive, welcoming, non-judgmental. I highly suggest giving the events a try, and you don't have to sign up right away. It is the best! I hope you enjoy!
