What does it really take to build a business—and a life—that feels soul-aligned, wildly alive, and deeply your own?

In this solo episode, Emily peels back the curtain on the year-long journey that led to the birth of Wild & Waking. From high-level masterminds and sacred retreats to intuitive coaching, brand reinvention, and spiritual expansion, she shares the radical self-investments that shaped her voice, vision, and leadership. This isn’t just about business growth—it’s about becoming the woman who could hold it all.

You’ll hear the real story behind the transformation: the fears she had to confront, the courage it took to invest at new levels, the intuitive breadcrumbs she followed, and the healing work that cracked her open in unexpected ways. Through every investment—financial, emotional, energetic—Emily was building something far deeper than a rebrand. She was reclaiming her fire.

If you’ve ever wondered what happens behind the scenes of deep personal evolution and soul-aligned entrepreneurship, this is the episode to press play on. It’s raw, reflective, and overflowing with insight for the woman in the midst of her own becoming.

About Wild & Waking:

Wild & Waking is more than a podcast—it’s a sacred return to who you’ve always been.

This space is for the woman standing at the edge of everything she’s outgrown. The one who’s checked all the boxes, followed all the rules, and still feels the quiet ache for something more honest. More alive. More hers.

She’s begun the unraveling—of roles, expectations, identities that no longer fit. She’s remembering the voice beneath the noise, the rhythm beneath the hustle, the truth beneath the performance. She’s reclaiming her joy, her intuition, her fire. And she’s rising—not as a version of who she was told to be, but as the truest expression of who she already is.

Hosted by soul expansion coach Emily Reuschel, Wild & Waking is for the spiritual entrepreneurs, coaches, rural changemakers, and conscious leaders dismantling old paradigms and creating new ways of living, leading, and becoming. Through raw conversations, deep reflections, and embodied wisdom, we explore what it means to awaken a life of abundance, authenticity, and purpose.

This is for the woman who holds both sacred rage and radical joy. Who moves with reverence for the seasons of her life. Who isn’t afraid to break cycles, speak truth, and dismantle what no longer serves—not to destroy, but to create. To rebuild a world rooted in the celebration of difference, the beauty of nuance, and the power of sovereign, embodied leadership.

If you’re ready to come home to yourself—fully, fiercely, and without apology—welcome.

We’ve been waiting for you.
