Success isn’t about the perfect strategy, the best business plan, or waiting until you “feel ready.” It’s about capacity, audacity, and self-trust—and without these, you’re going to stay stuck, spinning your wheels, and wondering why things aren’t moving forward.

In this solo episode, Emily Reuschel is breaking down the real success formula for bringing your dreams to life—whether you’re starting a business, making a big life pivot, or stepping into a new, aligned version of yourself.

Capacity: You need actual space in your life—mentally, emotionally, and physically—to take action.
Audacity: You have to believe in yourself before anyone else does. Confidence isn’t something you wait for—it’s something you cultivate.
Self-Trust: No strategy in the world will work if your inner dialogue is telling you you’re a failure before you even begin.

This episode is the wake-up call and permission slip you need to start making moves. It’s time to stop waiting, start trusting, and take up the space your dreams deserve.

Meet Emily Reuschel:

Emily Reuschel is a speaker, facilitator, podcaster, and entrepreneur dedicated to helping high-achieving women create lives and businesses that feel aligned, fulfilling, and sustainable. She’s the host of Gather in Growth, where she dives into the real, messy, and transformational work of personal growth, self-trust, and stepping into your power.

Emily left behind a life of people-pleasing, burnout, and perfectionism to build something entirely her own—empowering women to ditch external validation, trust their intuition, and take bold action toward their biggest dreams. Whether behind the mic or through her signature workshops, keynotes, and retreats, Emily helps women redefine success, break free from limitations, and step fully into their most expansive selves.

She’s here to remind you that your dreams aren’t too big, your vision isn’t too much, and YOU are the one who gets to decide what’s possible.

In this episode, You Ain’t Doing Sh*t Without Capacity, Audacity & Self-Trust, I cover:

• Why success isn’t just about having the perfect plan—it’s about creating the capacity to execute.
• What “capacity” actually means (hint: it’s more than just time on your calendar).
• How to stop adding more to your plate and start making space for what actually matters.
• The #1 reason why people feel stuck—and why it’s NOT a motivation problem.
• Audacity: The underrated secret to achieving anything you want.
• Why self-trust is the ultimate success hack (and how to build it).
• How your inner dialogue is either your biggest asset or your biggest roadblock.
• The confidence of a mediocre white man—what we can learn from it and why it’s time to embody that energy.
• How to stop outsourcing validation and start making decisions for YOURSELF.
• Why perfectionism and waiting for “readiness” are keeping you stuck.
• How to take bold, audacious action—even when you’re scared as hell.
• How to shift from overthinking to actual execution.

If you’ve been stuck, overwhelmed, or waiting for the “right time” to start—this episode is for you. It’s time to bet on yourself, expand your capacity, and step into your audacity.
