Help define your mom’s social legacy and purpose with Emily Chang’s ‘The Spare Room’ this Mother’s Day.

Seattle, United States - May 5, 2021 /PressCable/ —

Washington, US: May 5, 2021 – Re-launching especially in time for Mother’s Day, Emily Chang’s ‘The Spare Room – Define Your Social Legacy’ will help and guide moms of all walks of life to lead a more intentional life and lead with authentic purpose.

Rather than flowers and chocolates for all mothers out there, why not seek an alternative option? Emily’s new book interweaves heart-wrenching personal stories of those that her family welcomed into their lives and how they have helped to redefine their lives.

Available on Amazon – https://www.amazon.com/dp/1642937622 – The Spare Room helps readers first identify their Offer – the resource they readily have to hand and uniquely positioned to offer that someone else desperately needs.

It helps articulate a reader’s Offense – a particular injustice that stops them in their tracks and translates into a calling for action. Between the Offer and the Offense, rests a person’s Social Legacy – the ability to lead and live a more impactful and meaningful authentic life.

Emily Chang is a seasoned executive who has worked with some of the world’s most renowned companies like Procter & Gamble, Apple, and Starbucks.

Over the last 22 years, her job has brought her and her family to eight different homes across the U.S. and China. And everywhere she’s lived, Emily has found herself at the unique intersection of her Offer and Offense.

Life has presented young people, who having been abused, neglected, or marginalized, find sanctuary in her spare room. Among her deeply personal accounts, Emily shares heart-wrenching stories of an emotionally abused child bride, a dying baby boy born with hydrocephalus, and the abused daughter of a local prostitute.

With the 16 young people she and her family have cared for, Emily has found that living into her Social Legacy has not only deeply enriched her home life, it has also enabled her to become a more authentic and relatable leader in the workplace.

Each time she opened the door to her spare room, Emily found herself in the front-row seat, witnessing one of life’s incredible stories unfold. Integrating work and life, she introduced her spare room kids to colleagues and encourages her team members to invest in their Social Legacies.

“The Spare Room will take readers through a series of thought-provoking exercises to help define their social legacy. By the last page, they will have identified, unpacked, and written out a personal action plan,” she confidently asserts.
