I’m joined on the podcast today by someone who has become a very close friend over the last year and a half, and her story is pretty darn inspiring! Maddy Rabenhorst has experienced a LOT of transformation in her life recently, and I’ve been honored to get to work with her during this process.
While Maddy’s life ‘looked’ good on paper and checked all of the boxes, she was far from fulfilled, and had actually reached a new level of burnout in her corporate career. She had dreamed of coming back to working alongside her husband on their farm, but was unsure of how to actually make that happen. She continued having a strong, internal pull to change her situation, and make her dream a reality. After going through a lot of hard work, tears, masterminds, and coaching calls, Maddy eventually gained the clarity and confidence to pursue something that was fulfilling for her, and still contribute to her family financially. Maddy has truly gone from misaligned to living on purpose, and I can’t WAIT for you to hear her amazing story!
Maddy Rabenhorst is a wife to her husband, Bryce, and a mom to her three-year-old son, Halsten. Maddy and Bryce own and operate a row crop farm in Salem, South Dakota, where they grow corn and soybeans. While she previously worked off the farm in the ag industry since graduating college, she is now back home full-time, and is able to be fully present with her husband and son. She’s also started her own business, Prairie Elements. Maddy creates custom metal signs for businesses, families, and farms, and she’s excited to continue expanding her business to help more people in the future.
In this episode, From Misaligned to Living on Purpose with Maddy Rabenhorst, we cover:
- Maddy’s story of growing up on a farm and wanting something completely different, to eventually landing her dream job in the agricultural industry
- Having the ‘ideal life’, but still feeling misaligned, and knowing you need to make a change
- Maddy’s important realizations and ‘aha’ moments during her first mastermind in 2022
- How communication with your spouse can look when you’re navigating big life changes and aren’t on the same page
- Doing the deep internal work to figure out who you really are, and what you actually want your life to look like
- How the ASCEND retreat helped Maddy find the clarity and confidence she needed to make powerful changes in her life
- Trusting the process and learning to make scary, uncomfortable decisions when you’re starting a business and leaving your ‘stable’ career
- Maddy’s love for creativity, which led her to start her business, Prairie Elements
- Living fully present in the moment, and finding an inner peace you didn’t know was possible
- Why you should be investing in yourself and having the hard conversations when necessary
- The power of choosing yourself every single day, so you can ultimately become the person you’re meant to be

“Being connected to Emily is a blessing because her radiant energy and positive vibes are contagious. She makes me feel like it’s okay to stay grounded in my own truths and be the kind of person who walks around with a smile even if everything isn’t okay. Her genuine smile and charming personality is a blessing to the world. She continues to inspire me even on the days when I feel uninspired.”
