In this fiery, full-spectrum solo episode, Emily peels back the curtain on what it means to live, lead, mother, and rise in a world that feels like it’s coming undone. From the raw truth of first-trimester exhaustion to the grief of what we’re collectively navigating—and the audacity it takes to dream a different way forward—this conversation is equal parts personal and political, tender and unapologetic.

You’ll hear her explore the unraveling of outdated systems, the confrontation with deeply rooted conditioning, and her vision for rebuilding not just a better life—but a better world. She unpacks the difference between patriarchy and matriarchy (hint: it’s not just who’s in charge), the sacred messiness of identity reconstruction, and why this moment is calling wild women everywhere to rise, reclaim, and remember who they are.

If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed by the chaos, questioning everything you’ve been taught, or holding the tension between grief and hope—this one’s for you. Consider this your rally cry. Because the way forward isn’t about waiting for permission or perfection. It’s about women like you choosing to lead anyway.

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.
