50:08

What if the static in your life wasn’t just overwhelm—but a sign you’ve been disconnected from your deepest knowing? In this soul-expanding conversation, I’m joined by intuitive healer and psychic medium Kelsey Anderson to explore what it means to live a soul-led life in a world that constantly asks us to outsource our power. We talk about how to reconnect with your embodied intuition, reclaim the voice of your body, and walk yourself home—especially in seasons of transition, burnout, or spiritual awakening. From energy work and intuitive healing to discernment and seasonality, Kelsey brings grounded wisdom and deep reverence to the inner work of remembering who you are. We also explore the collective rise so many women are feeling right now—the undeniable tug toward purpose, truth, and soul alignment that doesn’t follow the old rules. Whether you’re navigating your own spiritual growth, rediscovering your soul path, or simply trying to hear yourself in the noise of it all… this episode will meet you where you are and invite you into something deeper. Kelsey shares her journey from corporate consultant to spiritual guide, offers powerful practices to connect with your intuition in everyday life, and reminds us that our intuitive power isn’t something to earn—it’s something to remember . If you’ve been feeling the call to rise into spiritual leadership and embodied power, you’re not alone. Tune in, take what resonates, and let the rest unravel. In this episode, we explore: What it means to live a soul-led life in a disconnected world The difference between intuition, inner knowing, and anxious overthinking How to reclaim your intuitive gifts (even if you’ve been taught to ignore them) The power of embodiment in tuning out the noise and tuning into your truth Kelsey’s journey from corporate consulting to intuitive healing and mediumship How to recognize intuitive “yeses” and “no’s” in your body Simple, accessible practices to ground your energy and protect your spirit The role of mediumship in healing and connecting with loved ones who’ve passed Why so many women are feeling called to rise and lead right now How to navigate spiritual awakening, identity shifts, and collective grief Spiritual discernment in an era of information overload and static Building trust in yourself, your gifts, and your soul’s unique timeline Embracing seasonality, surrender, and the ever-evolving nature of your path Be sure to hit subscribe so you never miss the latest episode!

158 | You Are Nature: Reclaiming Your Rhythm Through the Sacred Cycles of Body, Moon & Earth 32:47

13 days ago32:47

32:47

What if you stopped fighting your energy dips, creative bursts, and seasonal shifts—and started listening to them instead? In this episode, Emily invites you into a powerful reframe: you are nature. Which means you were never meant to be linear, consistent, or constantly “on.” You were designed to move in rhythm—just like the Earth, your body, and the moon. This conversation is a heartfelt introduction to cyclical living and how embracing your natural rhythm can transform your relationship to productivity, creativity, and self-worth. This beginner-friendly guide to cyclical wisdom is part education, part remembrance, and part permission slip. You’ll walk away with a deeper connection to your inner landscape, clarity around why your energy shifts throughout the month, and a more intuitive way to plan, rest, and create. Whether you’re learning about menstrual cycle awareness for the first time or already syncing your workflow to the moon, this episode will deepen your trust in the wisdom already living within you. In this episode, I explore: What it means to live in alignment with the natural rhythms of your body, the Earth, and the moon—and why reclaiming this rhythm is so powerful in a world obsessed with productivity How the four seasons of the Earth mirror our internal seasons, and how honoring that energy can shift the way you approach your goals, creativity, and rest A beginner-friendly breakdown of the menstrual cycle phases—and how each one holds its own wisdom, energy, and invitations for rest, action, or reflection A simple introduction to the lunar cycle, and how tuning into the moon’s phases (without overcomplicating it!) can deepen your connection to your intuition and flow Why you don’t need to be perfectly synced to benefit from cyclical living—and how to begin noticing which cycle (seasonal, menstrual, or lunar) is most influencing your energy right now A reminder that you are nature—and your rhythms are not a flaw to fix, but a sacred pattern to remember Be sure to hit subscribe so you never miss the latest episode!

5 weeks ago1:26:17

1:26:17

In this powerful episode of Wild & Waking , Emily sits down with intuitive therapist and energetic healing practitioner Annamarie Green for a conversation that goes far beyond the limits of talk therapy. Together, they explore the hidden roots of anxiety, burnout, and feeling “off” in your life or business—unpacking how ancestral shame, nervous system dysregulation, and invisible energetic blocks quietly sabotage our success and joy. Annamarie shares how her own journey through profound grief, single motherhood, and disillusionment with traditional mental health treatment led her to pioneer a new approach—one that blends clinical therapy, intuitive channeling, energy work, and soul-level healing. This episode dives deep into what it really takes to feel safe in joy, expand your capacity for pleasure, access your intuitive gifts, and unravel the belief systems that have kept you small. If you’ve been doing “all the right things” and still feel disconnected, exhausted, or unsure of your purpose—this episode is your permission slip to stop searching and start remembering who you really are. In this episode, we explore: What traditional talk therapy often misses—and why energy healing picks up where mindset work leaves off The unseen impact of ancestral shame , generational trauma, and energetic imprints on your business, relationships, and well-being How energetic blocks and nervous system dysregulation show up as procrastination, burnout, fear of visibility, or chronic overthinking The difference between mindset tools vs. healing at the energetic, somatic, and subconscious levels Why expanding your capacity for joy, pleasure, and success can feel unsafe (and how to gently shift that) How to reconnect with your intuitive gifts and use them as tools for healing and direction Practical ways to start working with your higher self and decode intuitive downloads Navigating spiritual evolution while still honoring your roots— deconstructing faith without losing connection The role of somatic breathwork and energy clearing in building nervous system resilience and emotional capacity Be sure to hit subscribe so you never miss the latest episode!

154 | It's Not the Moment, It’s the Movement: A Rally Cry for Wild Women Rewriting the Rules, the Roles, and the Future 50:35

6 weeks ago50:35

50:35

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. In this episode, I explore: Reflecting on unexpected pregnancy and the emotional layers of expanding a rural family Navigating the tension between personal growth and global chaos in today’s world Why people resist change and how identity reconstruction is the most powerful tool in personal transformation Understanding the difference between patriarchy and matriarchy through the lens of the pyramid vs. spiral model Exploring the collective grief, fear, and anxiety many are feeling—and why it matters Raising conscious kids in small towns: having brave conversations about love, inclusion, and equality What it really takes to pursue your dream life and create lasting life alignment A powerful reminder that this era isn’t just chaotic—it’s a collective awakening A rally cry for soul-led women ready to rise, rewrite the rules, and build a more connected future Be sure to hit subscribe so you never miss the latest episode!

153 I 5 Ways to Become a Romantasy Heroine IRL — Plus a Wild Woman Archetype Deep Dive with Lisa Marie Rankin 53:56

7 weeks ago53:56

53:56

In this episode, I’m joined by the luminous Lisa Marie Rankin for a conversation that bridges fantasy and real-life reclamation. We explore her viral post, 5 Ways to Become a Romantasy Heroine IRL , and dive into the archetypes these fictional women embody — from the Warrior and Lover to the Sage, Dark Queen, and High Lady. Through the lens of Jungian psychology, sensuality, and sovereignty, Lisa invites us to see these characters not just as entertainment, but as invitations to become the heroine of our own stories. But we don’t stop there. This episode also takes us deep into the untamed terrain of the Wild Woman archetype , inspired by Women Who Run With the Wolves by Clarissa Pinkola Estés. We unpack why so many women feel a visceral pull toward this primal, intuitive energy — and how to begin embodying it in real, everyday ways. From learning to honor your desires to releasing the “good girl” conditioning that keeps us small, this part of the conversation is all about remembering the truth of who we are beneath the roles we’ve been taught to play. Whether you're obsessed with ACOTAR, deep into your own healing, or simply craving a reminder that you are magic — this episode is a potent mix of myth, embodiment, and modern-day transformation. Grab your sword, your journal, and maybe a mug of something warm. This is the reclamation you didn’t know you were ready for. In this episode, we explore: The five archetypal activations behind your favorite Romantasy heroines — and how to embody them in real life Why training like a warrior starts with tending to your physical body and nervous system How sensuality, desire, and pleasure are powerful tools for self-reclamation (not just steamy plotlines) The sacred importance of following your curiosity and studying like the sage — especially in a world obsessed with quick fixes How to confront your inner Dark Queen and reclaim the emotions and power you’ve been taught to suppress What it means to rule like a High Lady — and how to bring sovereignty into your home, schedule, and choices A deep dive into the Wild Woman archetype and why so many women feel an ancient, primal pull toward her Tangible practices to reconnect with your intuition, creativity, and embodied knowing How to stop outsourcing your power and start writing your own myth Be sure to hit subscribe so you never miss the latest episode!

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.

In this deeply personal solo episode, Emily shares a sacred goodbye to Gather in Growth —the name, the container, the version of herself who first hit record nearly three years ago. What began as a cozy, soul-nourishing space for women navigating personal and professional growth has transformed into something wilder, deeper, and more expansive than she could’ve imagined. This isn’t an ending—it’s an evolution. Emily pulls back the curtain on the pivotal conversation that sparked this change, the resistance she felt at first, and the slow, undeniable awakening that followed. This episode is for anyone standing on the edge of their next chapter, unsure of what it will look like—but certain they can’t stay where they’ve been. It’s an invitation to evolve, to trust, and to boldly walk into the unknown. Wild & Waking is not just a new name—it’s the next era. And it starts now. In this episode, I explore: The origin story behind the name change and the moment Emily realized Gather in Growth no longer fully reflected the depth of her work Resistance to letting go of a beloved brand identity—and the eventual surrender to what was asking to be birthed Why Wild & Waking feels like a soul-level fit for this next chapter of Emily’s journey and community How Emily’s own spiritual awakening and deep dive into the divine feminine has been reshaping her voice, vision, and work The messy, nonlinear path of evolution—and the importance of staying with the questions even when clarity hasn’t arrived What it means to shed subconscious masks, release performative safety, and embody true belonging within yourself A love letter to the women who feel like they don’t quite fit anywhere else—and the invitation to come home to your wild, awakened self Be sure to hit subscribe so you never miss the latest episode!

1:31:53

Small town life: it’s peaceful and isolating. Sacred and frustrating. Full of deep roots and outdated norms. In this episode, I’m joined by my internet-turned-real-life soul sister, Haley Gradert, for a no-filter, heart-wide-open conversation about what it actually looks like to live, work, raise kids, and chase dreams in rural, agricultural communities. We love where we live. But we also have some things to say about it. We showed up with a list of our top 5 best and worst things about small town life... and as you can imagine, we didn’t exactly stick to the script. From grocery store grievances to childcare deserts, soul-level quiet to the ache of raising kids in a community that doesn’t always reflect your values—we cover it all with laughter, honesty, and a few spicy footnotes. This one’s for the woman who loves her small town and questions it. Who feels deeply rooted and deeply restless. If you’ve ever felt like you belong—and don’t quite fit—you are so seen here. What We Cover: How two women from Florida & Illinois ended up in ag and rural life Small town clout wars (how tiny is your town?!) Petty grievances: sad restaurants, bad takeout, no gluten-free options Navigating childcare, healthcare, and mental health deserts The magic (and challenge) of slow, quiet country life Safety, connection, and community in rural spaces Raising kind, inclusive kids in homogeneous environments Unlearning hustle culture, toxic masculinity, and rigid norms Rethinking faith, politics, and identity Why loving your town doesn’t mean you can’t challenge it Connect with Haley: Website: thetoughlovesociety.com Instagram: @toughlovehaley Threads: @toughlovehaley Connect with Emily: Instagram: @emilyreuschel Facebook: Emily Reuschel LinkedIn: Emily Reuschel Website: emilyreuschel.com If you found yourself nodding along, laughing out loud, or feeling seen in all the best ways—don't keep it to yourself.

146 | Take It All Apart: How to Live, Lead, and Work with Intention with Lindsay Leahy 44:50

14 weeks ago44:50

44:50

What if the life you're craving isn't built by doing more — but by taking it all apart first? In this soul-stirring conversation, I’m joined by leadership coach and author Lindsay Leahy to explore what it really means to live, lead, and work with intention. Through the lens of her new book Take It All Apart , Lindsay invites us to dismantle the expectations, fears, and old narratives we’ve outgrown—and rebuild from a place of truth, peace, and purpose. We talk about the courageous work of reconnecting with yourself, the power of solitude in a noisy world, and why living with intention isn’t about checking more boxes—it’s about creating a life that feels like yours. Lindsay also shares tangible practices to help you reclaim your energy, realign your priorities, and take grounded action toward the life you’re meant to live. If you’re standing at the edge of change, feeling the nudge to rewrite your story, or simply ready to stop settling for a life that doesn’t fit—this episode will meet you right where you are and call you forward into what's next. In this episode, we explore: Lindsay’s journey of realizing success didn’t equal fulfillment What it really means to live, lead, and work with intention The power of solitude and rebuilding connection with yourself How survival patterns and limiting beliefs shape our lives Lindsay’s "Dumping Exercise" for reclaiming your energy and clarity Creating moments of silence even in busy seasons Defining core values and setting aligned goals Building supportive relationships as you evolve Moving through imposter syndrome and self-sabotage Why healing yourself is the most powerful leadership work you can do If this episode resonated with you, I’d love to hear what sparked for you!

Right before the breakthrough, the doubts get loud. The fear shows up. The old stories start screaming, “Who do you think you are?” — and suddenly, what you’ve been building feels heavy, overwhelming, even terrifying. In this episode, I’m breaking down why this happens—and why it’s actually a sign that you’re exactly where you’re supposed to be. We’ll explore how fear, ego, spiritual warfare, and old wounds all rise before growth, and how to move through it with compassion, curiosity, and courage. In this episode, I cover: Real stories from women standing on the edge of breakthrough Why fear spikes before expansion What science, faith, and soul work teach us about resistance How to regulate your nervous system and move forward with truth A reminder: You’re not broken—you’re closer than you think If you’re feeling the pull toward something bigger—but the fear is getting LOUD—this conversation is your permission slip to keep going.

In this solo episode, I’m sharing the behind-the-scenes of a major identity shift that’s been building for over a year.

141 | You Ain’t Doing Sh*t Without Capacity, Audacity & Self-Trust 28:48

19 weeks ago28:48

28:48

Success isn’t about the perfect plan or waiting until you “feel ready.” It’s about capacity, audacity, and self-trust —and without them, 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. In this episode, 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.

Healing from trauma isn’t just about talking through our past—it’s about reconnecting with our bodies. In this powerful episode of Gather in Growth , I sit down with Brittany Piper , internationally recognized speaker, Somatic Experiencing® Practitioner, and author of Body-First Healing: Get Unstuck and Recover from Trauma with Somatic Healing . Britt’s work is transforming the way we understand trauma recovery, shifting the focus from revisiting painful memories to healing through the nervous system .

1:03:44

Healing isn’t just about unlearning old beliefs—it’s about giving ourselves permission to ask hard questions , challenge ingrained narratives, and rebuild our understanding of the world . In this deeply personal episode of Gather in Growth , I open up about my evolving relationship with faith, politics, and self-trust —and why I no longer feel the need to fit neatly into the boxes I once lived in. If you’ve ever felt torn between the beliefs you were raised with and the truth you’re uncovering within yourself, this episode is for you. I share my personal experiences growing up in a small-town church , navigating ideological shifts in college, marriage, and motherhood , and ultimately finding freedom, faith, and alignment in places I never expected. This conversation is not about changing anyone’s mind but rather holding space for curiosity, nuance, and personal transformation . My hope is that this episode encourages you to explore, question, and trust your own journey—wherever it leads. In this episode, I cover: How my experiences in a small-town Christian church shaped my early belief system The tension of deconstructing religion while still feeling deeply connected to faith Why my spiritual connection has deepened outside of organized religion The intersection of faith, patriarchy, and systemic disconnection from intuition How my political beliefs shifted through different seasons of life—from college to marriage to motherhood Why I no longer feel at home in a single political party and how I evaluate political issues today The impact of social circles, environment, and real-world experiences on my evolving perspective The intersection of religion and politics and how they have shaped cultural narratives Why unlearning old beliefs can feel unsettling—but is necessary for growth The internal conflict of questioning faith and politics when they no longer feel aligned How I stopped outsourcing my beliefs to external authorities and learned to trust myself Why curiosity is not rebellion—it’s self-awareness in action How to engage in hard conversations without internalizing others’ perspectives The importance of being in community with people who hold different beliefs Why we must be willing to challenge our own biases and perspectives Be sure to hit subscribe so you never miss the latest episode!

In today’s episode, Jada Dobesh and I talk about the need to be nurtured, and how the mother wound impacts your marriage, motherhood, and self-worth. The mother wound goes SO much deeper than simply ‘my mom didn’t love me right’. It can actually present as a variety of physical symptoms in your body, and in your behaviors.

If you want to feel safe and thrive in motherhood, you’ve GOT to heal your daughterhood - period. In this episode, we cover: How the mother wound shows up Why women are feeling the need to heal their mother wounds + how Jada’s Need to Be Nurtured program helps women do this Receiving as women + how the patriarchy has impacted ALL of us The relationship between masculine and feminine energy + how this affects the mother wound Why so many men were raised to be ‘good boys’ instead of ‘strong men’ + how this plays out in marriage roles Getting out of an unsafe situation in order to find safety & healing Being willing to sit in discomfort and ask hard questions Taking your time and being intentional with your everyday life Be sure to hit subscribe so you never miss the latest episode!

The concept of ‘black-and-white’ or ‘all-or-nothing’ thinking kept coming up for me after chatting with someone from my community. This is something that I’ve personally struggled with, and I know sooo many other women have as well, so I knew it was time to bring it here. In today’s episode, I want to talk about breaking out of black-and-white thinking. For some reason, you think you only have two choices with EVERYTHING. You get stuck in these ‘extremes’ traps, and it’s like you can’t move forward until the ‘perfect’ conditions allow you to do so. The black-and-white thinking is prevalent and dangerous now, more than EVER. You’re made to believe that it’s ‘you vs. them’, ‘good vs. evil’, ‘right vs. left’, and so on. But you know what?? The growth, opportunities, contentment, and pure happiness that comes from breaking FREE from this type of thinking is awaiting you on the other side! At the end of the day, your story is YOURS to write. How beautiful is that?! In this episode, I cover: Why women get so stuck in the ‘all-or-nothing’ thinking Realizing that life is never *just* black and white + finding beauty in the ‘middle ground’ Committing to yourself & your dreams so you CAN expand and make them happen Figuring out what a ‘good’ mom, wife, business owner, etc. means to YOU Praising women for being completely selfless + the fear of success that plagues so many women Why this ‘black-and-white’ thinking is even MORE prevalent now Reflecting on my path that ultimately led to the growth & purpose I have today Be sure to hit subscribe so you never miss the latest episode!

24 weeks ago1:01:49

1:01:49

In today’s episode, we talk about unbecoming, healing, and feeling through somatics and nervous system regulation. Somatics truly is a fascinating modality; it’s the language of the body, and the nervous system is the operating system of the body. When you utilize somatics effectively (which Darci dives into later - you’ll love those!), your body goes back into homeostasis. Darci Burke is a dedicated nervous system regulation practitioner and somatic embodiment coach, and the founder of Holos Heal. She’s always been drawn to helping people, and believes that our life experience is our greatest teacher. So often, you’ve been disconnected from your body, and more specifically, your nervous system. In order to experience true healing, you HAVE to involve the nervous system - this is what creates new patterns in your life. Darci and I also dive into what triggers are *actually* showing you, how destabilizing and scary big identity ‘shifts’ can be (we’ve both experienced these), and why unbecoming is happening more and more in the second half of people's lives. In this episode, we cover: Somatics + its powerful connection to the nervous system How trauma shows up in the body + the importance of regulating your nervous system in a ‘slow and gentle’ way Why trauma isn’t just capital ‘T’ trauma + understanding YOUR particular trauma and how to untangle it What triggers are *actually* showing you 2 pieces that are crucial and vital for healing The scary ‘identity crisis’ that happens when you step away from an ‘outdated’ version of yourself & evolve into something new What it means to feel safety within yourself + the concept of ‘unbecoming’ Continuing to evolve, grow, and connect with your true nature Be sure to hit subscribe so you never miss the latest episode!

Many of us grow up with a ‘lack’ or scarcity mindset though, and this can be hard to shake as we enter into adulthood.

I had some phenomenal takeaways from my conversation with Cassie, and it really opened my eyes to how I want to continue showing up in 2025.

You really can be, do, and have anything you want, and you can experience it in your own, beautiful way! In this episode, we cover: Cassie’s journey from sharing about couponing and frugality, to finding her ‘home’ in the coaching space The ‘lack’ mentality & scarcity mindset that Cassie grew up with + creating her OWN financial freedom by working through limiting beliefs Changing your environment & the people you’re surrounded by in order to change (and improve) your current circumstance How Cassie supports her clients with stepping into their ‘next level’ identities What it *actually* looks like to show up authentically and take big, BOLD moves in your business & life How business owners tend to hold themselves back + how the ‘fear of success’ comes into play Navigating how to achieve your goals & dreams without getting completely consumed by ‘hustle culture’ 3 things Cassie does daily to move the needle forward in her business + how she’s simplified and scaled her business Breaking rules & challenging the ‘norms’ in business Choosing MORE authenticity & being unapologetic about who you *truly* are Be sure to hit subscribe so you never miss the latest episode!

21:21

Something I wanted to do to kick off 2025 is the 75 Hard challenge. If you’re not familiar with this, it’s definitely not a challenge for everyone. It can very much put you in the ‘all or nothing’ mentality, and that can be difficult to break out of. (Been there, done that!) While I didn’t necessarily ‘need’ this challenge right now, I WANTED to do it, even in the freezing cold winter! In today’s episode, I want to talk about what it looks like to ‘do hard things’, and why you need to stop waiting for ideal conditions to start LIVING. If I would have tried to commit to 75 Hard last year, it would not have gone well! Maybe you’re in a tough season with postpartum, parenting, farm life, or something else. While these seasons can be realllly freaking hard, they’re a part of our lives, and we’ve got to move through them. When we do the hard things and make it through hard seasons, we have an even deeper appreciation of all the GOOD! I hope this episode encourages you to get out there, and embrace your ‘winter’. Stop waiting for ideal conditions (i.e. spring and summer) before you enjoy and flourish in your life. You CAN do hard things, friend - you’re strong, and capable, and I believe in you! In this episode, I cover: Why I chose to do the 75 Hard challenge to kick off the new year My realization around why I (used) to hate winter + why we’re not meant to ‘summer’ all year long The sad reality that is many of us are constantly yearning for a ‘better’ circumstance Embracing YOUR winter, instead of waiting for spring or summer to live your life Be sure to hit subscribe so you never miss the latest episode!

Burnout seems to be EVERYWHERE these days; it’s usually connected to anxiety, and is the place you land right before depression sets in. Burnout doesn’t necessarily look the same for everyone, but your body WILL send you signs that something isn’t right.

You HAVE to address it in order to heal and move forward! In today’s episode, we talk about healing hustle culture and burnout, and how to break free and up-level your life, career, and business.

Bryana Kappadakunnel is a licensed Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist and author of the NEW book, Parent Yourself First: Raise Confident, Compassionate Kids by Becoming the Parent You Wish You Had. She believes in providing families with practical tools and compassionate support. Not only can this work heal the child-parent relationship, but also, leave a lasting impact on the generations to come. In today’s episode, we talk about what it looks like to parent yourself first, and how to raise confident, compassionate kids by becoming the parent you wish you had. So many of us have a desire to parent our children differently than how we were raised. Unfortunately, we aren’t clear on how to go about parenting in a more conscious, connected, and intentional way. If you truly want to improve your relationships with your children and your overall family dynamic, it starts with you. We change the world by healing ourselves! In this episode, we cover: Bryana’s ‘lightbulb’ moment that ultimately led her on the path to helping parents heal their ‘inner child’ & transform their relationship with their child(ren) What it really looks (and feels) like to pursue the path of ‘conscious parenting’ Choosing to get curious and let feelings move through you vs. shoving them down and pretending they’re not there Taking time to notice what’s happening within your body & giving yourself space when you’re triggered by your child How your past upbringing may be influencing your parenting now + learning to parent from a place of connection Having compassion while also setting boundaries within intergenerational relationships Bryana’s upcoming book, Parent Yourself First Realizing you don’t need to have all the answers + finding comfort in the unknown Be sure to hit subscribe so you never miss the latest episode!

131 | Going Beyond the Pale 15:41

29 weeks ago15:41

15:41

In today’s episode, I want to talk about going ‘beyond the pale’, because this particular phrase really stuck out to me, and I believe it’s something you will resonate with as well. If you look up what this actually means (which I of course did), you’ll find that it means to act in a way that is considered outside the bounds of ‘acceptable’ behaviors or standards. It may be seen as outrageous, offensive, unacceptable, and even shocking. I know SO many of you are currently navigating a journey of doing something different. You’re going against the grain, and you may be getting pushback from those around you because yeah…it’s shocking, and they don’t want to accept it. So often, we betray ourselves in our lives; we completely self-abandon what we *really* want to do for the sake of someone else’s comfort. It feels ‘easier’ and ‘safer’ when we stay with what we’ve always known, and continue to get approval from the world around us. But...that’s never going to allow you the joy, happiness, alignment, authenticity, and true freedom that you want in your life, is it? I invite you to consider what going ‘beyond the pale’ looks like for you. What are you going to choose? What is *really* inviting you to step further outside of where you are now? In this episode, I cover: The history behind going ‘beyond the pale’ What stepping outside of ‘the pale’ can look and feel like Why we betray ourselves in multiple areas of our lives The little ‘gems’ and ‘nuggets’ we find and collect for ourselves when we actually go ‘beyond the pale’ Be sure to hit subscribe so you never miss the latest episode!

31 weeks ago38:22

38:22

Today's guest (and my good friend) Kylie calls herself ‘your farm wife bestie’, but she wears many incredible hats. Like myself, Kylie has been on quite the journey of self-discovery over the last few years. She found herself in a season that felt pretty challenging and downright HARD. Kylie thought she needed to be ‘perfect’ at everything she was doing (sound familiar??), but she quickly realized she was holding herself to unrealistic standards. In today’s episode, we talk about the concept of ‘grow, hoe, and sow’, and what cultivating joy and authentic living really looks like. As we’re at the beginning of a fresh, new year, this is the time to reflect, and get crystal clear on what intentionality you’re bringing to the year ahead. I’m so, so grateful for Kylie’s friendship, and to have experienced this transformation over the last few years. I’ve loved watching her ‘follow the fun’, and really give herself permission to continue exploring what lights her up. I hope our conversation encourages you to do the same - it’s never too late to begin cultivating joy and authentic living in YOUR own life, too! In this episode, we cover: Why personal growth is ongoing + so much more than you think (in the best way) What happens when we hold ourselves to extremely high expectations and feel that ‘perfection’ is required of us Kylie’s ‘Grow, Hoe, Sow’ tool + how you can apply it to your life What to do when you feel like you’re ‘stuck’ and need to let go of certain things in your life, but it feels challenging to do so Kylie’s journey with Human Design + why learning your unique design & energy type can be life-changing Kylie’s upcoming podcast, Boldly Grounded Navigating what authentic alignment looks like for you and only you Be sure to hit subscribe so you never miss the latest episode!

I personally LOVE the fact that we’re able to change, and try new things, and ultimately, find what really makes us, ‘us’. I don’t know about you, but I don’t want to be the same person 30 years from now that I am today - I sure hope I’ve evolved since then! I no longer feel that I need to hold myself back from exploring the depths of myself, just to make myself more ‘palatable’ for society. It's in my human design to continuously be evolving and healing and connecting, and yes..getting outside of my comfort zone. Maybe you’re in a season of ‘questioning’ too. But maybe you’re struggling with finding the courage to dig deeper, and start expanding in ways you never have before. My encouragement for you today is to just START! Give yourself permission to explore your curiosities and passions, and be open to learning new things that may be unexpected! It’s time to give yourself the ‘gift’ of reinventing yourself, and start exploring what truly lights you up. I’m doing this with you - let’s start embracing the joy of reinvention together! In this episode, I cover: Why we ‘white-knuckle’ ourselves into certain beliefs & mindsets, without allowing ourselves the ability to explore outside of this How I’m giving myself permission to embrace & explore what I’m being drawn to in my current season of life Being authentically curious and choosing to pursue what you really want to (instead of what you *think* you should) Why simply having a hobby can be just that, and not something to be monetized Be sure to hit subscribe so you never miss the latest episode!

33 weeks ago18:05

18:05

Today’s episode is inspired by something I’ve recently gone through, and have friends currently navigating as well. The idea of ‘creating space’, specifically around big transitions or life changes, comes up often in my masterminds and coaching calls. As a society, we’ve grown accustomed to familiarity, and we feel like we should always know what our ‘next step’ will be. That’s all good and well, but…what happens when you’re ready for something DIFFERENT? You don’t actually know what that ‘next thing’ is, but you’re craving more purpose, intentionality, and autonomy in your life. In today’s episode, I want to talk about creating space, taking action, trusting yourself, and exploring the unknown. It can feel sooo scary to step out of your comfort zone - especially when you don’t have it ‘all’ figured out (because of course, you think you need to). It’s like safety and predictability have pretty much gone out the window, right?! In this episode, I cover: Why we seem to think we have it ‘all’ figured out in our society + what happens when we discover we want something different that isn’t ‘safe’ or ‘predictable’ Realizing your current circumstance that you don’t like will always feel more comfortable than something unknown Choosing to trust yourself over logic (even when it feels super scary) Understanding that there is no single ‘right’ path + what momentum really means Why you can invite your partner onto your journey & ask for their support, but you don’t need their ‘permission’ to pursue your aligned, best life The misconception that alignment automatically equals ‘ease’ Be sure to hit subscribe so you never miss the latest episode!

126 | Part 2: Self-Experimenting: Embracing Duality and Fluidity in Personal Growth with Sarah Welch 49:51

34 weeks ago49:51

49:51

Our part 1 conversation with Sarah Welch was INCREDIBLE, so we’re back with part 2 today! If you haven't had the chance to check out part 1, pause now, and go give it a listen HERE. In today’s part 2 episode, we talk more about self-experimenting, and the beauty of embracing duality and fluidity in personal growth. Sarah takes us even deeper into perfectionism, unpacking self-sabotage, and navigating the highs and lows of evolving into your most aligned self. Sarah and I have both experienced the difficulties that come with letting go of identities that have long been ingrained into us. We’ve had to give ourselves the space (and permission) to expand and discover new parts of ourselves. Sooo much of this comes from putting ourselves into community and conversation with others who not only show us what’s possible, but allow us to finally feel safe, and like we’re ‘enough’. We are special ‘enough’, and we are important ‘enough’ - YOU are too, friend! In this episode, we cover: Where our cycles of perfectionism stem from + realizing how complex the human experience really is The connection between self-sabotage & harm reduction + finding a ‘healthy’ hobby for yourself Realizing that more than 1 thing can be true at once + not everything is always ‘black or white’ Letting go of identities that have been ingrained into us for so long + embracing more of the ‘child-like’ view of the world we used to have The beauty that comes when we give ourselves space to truly expand and discover new parts of ourselves Stepping out of your comfort zone and into conversations & community with others you’ve never been a part of, but know you need to be Taking yourself ‘seriously’ when it comes to taking action and following through with your goals Why it’s beautiful, safe, and productive to embrace ‘seasonality’ and cycles in life Be sure to hit subscribe so you never miss the latest episode!

35 weeks ago45:12

45:12

In today’s part 1 episode, we talk about self-experimenting, unmasking, and the process of discovering who you really are. Sarah and I both share what it’s looked like to unpack all of our ‘stuff’ - especially after receiving our ADHD diagnoses. Today's guest, Sarah Welch, is a self-experimenting coach who helps others get reacquainted with their most authentic selves. She experienced her own trauma while growing up; she struggled with her weight, depression, and was eventually diagnosed with ADHD. She basically felt like the ‘black sheep’ of her family. Not only did she feel lost with those around her, but even more so out in the world. Sarah and I also dive into practical steps you can take to get to know yourself again, what ‘checking in’ with yourself can look like in your day to day life, and the concept of ‘masking’. Masking is something that I think many of us as women (and moms) relate to, because we feel that we need to show up a certain way. It leads us to focus on making ourselves more ‘digestible’ for others in society, but along the way..we become a shell of ourselves, and have no idea who the hell we are anymore. If you’re on a journey of discovering who YOU really are, you’re going to resonate sooo much with these episodes with Sarah. This is part 1 of 2, so make sure to come back for part 2 next week as we continue this conversation!! In this episode, we cover: Sarah’s journey with ADHD, autism, and depression, which led to her self-experimenting and ultimately, ‘coming home’ to herself What can happen when you ‘crack open’ everything within yourself that you’ve been ignoring (and not really understanding) for SO long Practical steps you can take to get to know yourself again What ‘checking in with yourself’ actually looks like The concept of ‘masking’ + how it can show up in your life The incredibly beautiful AND hard part about raising children + being a cycle ‘starter’ in regards to moving forward How the self-help/personal growth space has romanticized happiness + made us feel like all other emotions are ‘bad’ The imbalance that our society has with anger/rage in men vs. women + how this emotion shows up for women especially The misguided expectation we have that someone else needs to ‘fill our needs’ Be sure to hit subscribe so you never miss the latest episode!

124 | Coming Home: Politics, Purpose, and The Ripple Effect 31:26

I’m coming to you on the other side of a trip where I had the absolute JOY of facilitating a retreat with my good friend, Kaitlin Cox. This was a rare gift that I didn’t know I needed, and goodness, did it fill my cup! In today’s episode, I want to talk about coming home: politics, purpose, and the ripple effect. After helping Kaitlin with her retreat and hearing the raw and powerful stories from the women there, I was reminded that every single one of us has gone through ‘something’. We’ve all experienced some kind of trauma or hardship that isn’t visible to the outside world, but there is MAGIC when we come together, and share what’s on our hearts! I know this to be the ‘ripple effect’, and I’ve seen it play out in beautiful ways in my own life. I’ve chosen to take action and heal in ways I never thought possible; this has radiated to incredible women like Kaitlin, and the work that she’s doing is radiating to the women in HER circle! It may sound a bit cheesy, but if you want to help people and make the world a better place, it starts with YOU. You heal the world by healing yourself, and you change the world by changing yourself. In this episode, I cover: The inner knowing we have when something isn’t ‘quite right’, and we’re meant to pursue something different Realizing that every single person is carrying something ‘hard’ that the outside world can’t see The power in what is the ‘ripple effect’ + how I’ve seen this play out in my own life Why making the world a better place actually starts with you and your healing Why it’s beautiful + actually normal to not ‘fit in a box’ and fully align with one political party The collective necessity towards practicing genuine empathy + why I KNOW that my purpose is rooted in healing Understanding that while it’s great to evolve, you are already worthy and ‘enough’, just as you are Be sure to hit subscribe so you never miss the latest episode!

123 | How to Overcome People Pleasing, Self Abandonment, and Good Girl Syndrome with Sara Fisk 1:00:01

37 weeks ago1:00:01

1:00:01

In today’s episode, we talk about how to overcome people pleasing, self abandonment, and good girl syndrome. As women, we’re taught from a very young age that our value is found in what we do for others. We’re taught to give and to serve, self-sacrifice, and do it ALL with a smile on our face. We lack the inner knowing that ‘I am good’ is actually separate from WHAT we do - whether that’s in the home, in our career, at church, etc. Sara Bybee Fisk is a Master Certified Coach and Instructor who has a passion for teaching and coaching. She teaches women how to tame the rampant people pleasing, perfectionism, and codependency that causes them so much frustration and resentment. Sara understands that people pleasing really is the plague of womanhood, because it robbed her of time, energy, and effort for far too long. After growing up in a very conservative, religious environment, she found herself always looking for others’ approval, and questioning her worth. Sara eventually learned that yes, she was (and IS) ‘enough’, and she doesn’t need anyone’s stamp of approval to have a fulfilling and empowering life! In this episode, we cover: Sara’s journey with people pleasing + how it led her to the work she does today How the church & religion influences women + the way they show up in the world What people pleasing looks like from a young age + what happens when it starts to feel like a burden Why both people pleasing and not people pleasing is uncomfortable + how to process the discomfort that comes with not people pleasing How to ‘find’ yourself again when you feel completely lost in motherhood How to have those ‘tough’ conversations with those around you when you’re done with people pleasing Redefining what it actually means for you to be a ‘good mom’ Internal Family Systems + how we can connect to this and move past people pleasing Be sure to hit subscribe so you never miss the latest episode!

We’re talking ALL things money today, and Lisa is the perfect person to help us with this. I know money can be somewhat of a touchy topic, and really bring up a variety of feelings for us. It is my intention as a business owner to continue to be empowered and make financial decisions that will ultimately grow the kind of wealth that I want to have, so I can make the lasting impact I want in the world. I’m betting you can relate to that, too! Lisa Chastain is a professional money coach that helps passionate and successful women shed the shame and guilt around their finances and focus on healthy spending, instead of restricted budgeting. In today’s episode, we talk about empowering women to rewrite their money story and step into their financial potential without guilt or shame. All of us have certain beliefs about money that were ingrained into us as children. Regardless of what our ‘money story’ is, it’s our job to take responsibility for that, and break free from those beliefs that are no longer serving us! I hope this conversation inspires you to dig into your own money story, stop playing small, and yes..be a little disruptive on your path to building unbelievable wealth, friend! In this episode, we cover: Lisa’s ‘humble’ money mindset that was instilled in her as a young girl + the disconnect she experienced regarding her big dreams vs. not feeling like she was ‘enough’ Taking responsibility for your money story + choosing to break free from deeply-rooted, limiting money beliefs that aren’t serving you The 5 unique money personalities What it can look like to take control of your finances + build wealth for yourself How to navigate healthy money conversations in your relationship What a healthy money ‘dynamic’ can look like for parents and their kids Realizing that money is not that complicated Being open to learning about money + surrounding yourself with women who are talking about AND normalizing money Be sure to hit subscribe so you never miss the latest episode!

19:19

In today’s episode, I want to talk about what it looks like ‘beyond the badge’, and embracing seasons in a world obsessed with busy. For me, I wore ‘busy’ like a badge of honor. I wanted to achieve every milestone, achievement, and check allll the boxes. Busy became my default answer, because when we’re busy, that means we’re successful..right? Over the last couple of years, I’ve really leaned into the concept of ‘wintering’. While we seem to be adding more and more to our calendar, Nature is instead telling us to be still, turn inward, and do less. Whether we’re experiencing pregnancy, trying to navigate postpartum, transitioning our career, or some other kind of major life change, it’s VITAL that we slow down, and honor the season we’re in. I want to encourage you to honor your natural energy, and be present with what’s right in front of you. When you’re able to know, love, and trust yourself just as you are, you’ll be able to come home to yourself, and truly thrive, regardless of the season you’re in. In this episode, I cover: Turning to the ‘cyclical’ nature of the world and honoring the season you’re in My story of wearing ‘busy’ like a badge of honor + how I’ve actively worked to change that over time My journey through burnout + the unexpected blessings this led to Choosing to truly slow down during life’s seasons + learning the art of ‘simplify to amplify’ Finding alignment in the life you want to create + focusing on being present, and coming home to yourself Be sure to hit subscribe so you never miss the latest episode!

In today’s episode, Leah McCloud and I talk about harnessing your Human Design to create your dream life, true alignment, and ease in your business. Human Design is a self-awareness modality that shows you how energy works in your unique body, and how you can use (and optimize) that energy in your life. When you learn your specific Human Design type and discover how to get into alignment and ‘flow’, SO much is possible - especially as an entrepreneur! Leah dives into the 5 different Human Design types, as well as the 7 types of ‘authority’ pieces that go hand-in-hand with your intuition. Leah and I are both generators, and for me, my intuition comes through as a ‘gut’ feeling (aka sacral authority). I’m so, so grateful for Leah, and the wealth of knowledge that she is when it comes to Human Design. If you’re ready to harness your Human Design to create your dream life, and find true alignment and ease in your business, this is the episode for you, friend! In this episode, we cover: Leah’s whirlwind journey with human design + what has transpired for her over the last 2 years What human design is + who it can help Understanding & using our human design effectively as entrepreneurs The 5 different human design energy types The ‘authority’ piece of human design + how this works with your intuition What Leah’s ‘coming home to herself’ has looked like in recent years How human design has been the vehicle for Leah’s dream life creation + her upcoming book Slowing down + really embracing the season you’re in Be sure to hit subscribe so you never miss the latest episode!

119 | How to Create Safety Within Yourself, Unpack Fear and Imposter Syndrome, and Tap into Your Unlimited Potential with Tracy Litt 50:12

41 weeks ago50:12

50:12

I’m honored to be joined by my new friend, Tracy Litt, on the podcast today! In today’s episode, we talk about how to create safety within yourself, unpack fear and imposter syndrome, and tap into your unlimited potential. Something that every single one of us has been affected by is FEAR. While we may think fear is a negative thing and we need to move away from it completely..that’s actually not true (nor is it possible to do). Fear is lovingly trying to keep us alive! Imposter syndrome (something else I’m sure you know about) tends to show up right along with fear..except it’s a ‘crutch’ that we fall back on all too easily. Tracy and I also dug deep into emotional addictions, why it’s VITAL that we work to clear the ‘emotional congestion’ from our bodies, how our thoughts and our intuition vary, stepping into ‘feeling our feelings’, and more. In this episode, we cover: Tracy’s journey of following the ‘normal’ path society told her to, which ultimately led her to want more, go after her dreams, and help the world in a BIGGER way Where fear actually comes from + the role imposter syndrome plays How we create safety instead of simply ‘finding’ it + ways to regulate our nervous system What the ‘drip process’ is + why it’s our responsibility to change what’s being ‘dripped’ Realizing that you ARE doing ‘enough’ and you’re not ‘screwing up’ your kids Why it’s vital that we understand our emotional addictions + how we clear emotional ‘congestion’ from the body that’s keeping us ‘stuck’ Key differences between our thoughts & our intuition + why overcoming fear is actually impossible, but not a bad thing Understanding that emotion is energy in motion + what happens when you become a woman who fully ‘feels her feelings’ Be sure to hit subscribe so you never miss the latest episode!

118 | Behind the Curtain: Life as a Harvest Mom 30:36

42 weeks ago30:36

30:36

In today’s episode, I want to give you a peek ‘behind the curtain’, and show you what life as a harvest mom really looks like. I think most of us would agree that certain seasons in life have us juggling more ‘glass balls’ than usual, which can totally throw our homeostasis off kilter! If you’re a woman in a tough season right now (whether that’s harvest or something else), I want to urge you to PLEASE ask for help. You’re not a burden, and you can’t do it all! Modern motherhood feels so damn hard, because we were never meant to do all of this alone. We have to create these villages that we crave, and support each other where we can. I hope this episode encourages you to give yourself grace, embrace progress over perfection, and know that you ARE enough, friend. On the other side of that hustle, survival, and burnout is a life you can be obsessed with - I promise! In this episode, I cover: Why it’s okay to take a step back and not have a certain goal be top priority, all the time Understanding that we ALL experience hard seasons, and admitting that we’re struggling won’t take away from someone else’s situation Why we so often shove down and ‘pack away’ our emotions & feelings, instead of addressing them right away The constant praise for independence + realizing you don’t have to do it alone, and you’re actually NOT a burden when you ask for help Be sure to hit subscribe so you never miss the latest episode!

117 | Cultivating Confidence, Sucking at Something New, and Taking Brave Action 23:05

43 weeks ago23:05

23:05

I’m very grounded in where I am now, but that wasn’t always the case. I know firsthand that this personal growth journey is HARD! We want our personal growth to be perfectly laid out with a set plan in place, but...it doesn’t work like that. Our personal growth and healing doesn’t have a certain ‘end date’; it’s more of a practice of trust and release to have faith in knowing that we ARE on the path that is meant for us, regardless of how long it takes! In today’s episode, I’m talking about cultivating confidence, sucking at something new, and taking brave action. For me, my definition of success has greatly changed over the last year. As an Enneagram 3, I used to believe success meant chasing and achieving big goals so I would be ‘enough’, and people would love me. But no...it’s doing meaningful work that I truly LOVE, and is actually making a difference in other women’s lives! In this episode, I cover: Why your personal growth and healing journey doesn’t have an ‘end date’, and it won’t be laid out ‘perfectly’ either How my definition of success has dramatically changed in the last year Understanding that you can’t ‘magically’ create confidence, because it’s cultivated by taking brave, scary action Realizing that you’re already capable and qualified to start doing that ‘thing’ that you know you’re meant to do The beauty that awaits you when you come HOME to yourself + fully know, love, and trust yourself Be sure to hit subscribe so you never miss the latest episode!

116 | Morning Sun, Entrepreneurship with ADHD, and Burning it Down with Lindsy Trotter 45:58

44 weeks ago45:58

45:58

I’m VERY excited to have a special guest, Lindsy Trotter, on the podcast today! Lindsy has become one of my ‘business besties’, and someone I’ve loved getting to work and connect with on a deeper level. Our paths have crossed in multiple ways this year; she joined one of my masterminds + we both joined Suzy Holman’s mastermind, and we have a LOT in common (kind of feels like we have the same brain). Like so many of us, Lindsy has dealt with perfectionist and overachiever tendencies, and she loved checking ALLLL the boxes. As an ADHD entrepreneur who’s an Enneagram 3, she had accomplished so much already, but was not feeling fulfilled in her business. She was struggling with what to do next, and had multiple signs telling her that something wasn’t ‘right’ in her business, with her health, etc. Ultimately, she knew she needed to slow down, ‘unplug’ more, and make some drastic changes in her life. Now, Lindsy has a renewed sense of excitement for her business and what’s to come - she’s truly FLOURISHING! In this episode, we cover: Lindsy’s journey from teacher to entrepreneur, and the full-on ‘hustle and grind’ mode she was in as she built her business When you’re misaligned/don’t know what’s next in your business, and feel like ‘burning it down’ is all that’s left to do Why therapy and ‘feeling your feelings’ isn’t necessarily fun or enjoyable, but is crucial when you’re ready for the next chapter in your life Lindsy’s upcoming course + what she wishes she better understood her first year in business How ADHD has impacted Lindsy + how she shows up in business Be sure to hit subscribe so you never miss the latest episode!

I’m excited to be back with this part 2 episode, all about WHY you’re disconnected from your inner knowing, how to know, love, and trust yourself, and how to deepen your intuition. If for some reason you missed part 1 (linked below), make sure to give that a listen and then come back to this one when you’re done! In today’s episode, I want to dig more into how to truly listen to your body and your intuition, and really, ways to do that in your everyday life. In this episode, I cover: Learning to listen to your body and get curious about your body language Simple ways you can work toward better understanding and growing your intuition Why you need to stop overthinking your decisions and really tune into yourself, because you already KNOW what you need to do The power that comes from embracing your true self, regardless of what anyone else thinks of you Getting super clear on what you actually need when you’re in a new/different season How I’ve invested time and money into myself this year + why investing into yourself and taking risks truly comes down to your inner knowing Giving yourself permission to change and evolve + realizing that you’re NOT a failure if you need to pivot and try something different How to know when to slow down vs. when to hustle Be sure to hit subscribe so you never miss the latest episode!

46 weeks ago31:20

31:20

In today’s episode, I want to talk about WHY developing your intuition can be challenging, and really, how to rebuild and reconnect with yourself so it doesn’t stay that way. I’ve talked about this a little bit on the podcast before, but as I’ve continued going deeper on my own journey, I’ve found that coming home to myself and knowing, loving, and trusting myself is such a spiritual experience that transcends consciousness. Intuition isn’t ‘flighty’ like the typical dictionary definition makes it out to be, but rather, a beautiful GIFT! Tune in for this 2-part episode that will help you uncover why you're disconnected from your inner knowing, how to know, love, and trust yourself, and developing your intuition. In this episode, I cover: Why intuition isn’t ‘flighty’, but is actually a deeper, spiritual experience that transcends consciousness and allows you to come home to yourself Why SO many women struggle with the concept of knowing, loving, and trusting themselves Being okay with not knowing/having everything figured out and asking questions about God, spirituality, religion, etc. The very ‘mixed’ messaging we receive regarding health and wellness, motherhood, business, and more The obsession we have with right versus wrong + actually ‘feeling our feelings’, so our emotions can move through us Be sure to hit subscribe so you never miss the latest episode!

113 | Pursuing Yourself, Walking in Alignment, and Balancing Consistency and Flow in Business with Suzy Holman 47:03

47 weeks ago47:03

47:03

I’m BEYOND excited to welcome Suzy Holman as today’s podcast guest! Suzy and I have been connected for quite some time - not only is she a mentor and coach to me (I’m currently in her mastermind), but she’s an all-around special person I’ve been blessed to know. Suzy is a serial seven-figure entrepreneur, business coach, and mother of four; her journey actually started on Instagram as an ‘accidental influencer’. However...she quickly realized this was not the path she wanted to stay on. She wanted a space where she COULD be her authentic self, and once she chose to show up unapologetically in that way, everything exploded in her business and her life (in the best ways possible). In this episode, we cover: Understanding that maybe it's all about ‘unbecoming’ everything you weren't meant to be in the first place + the discovery of ‘discovering your gifting’ Surrounding yourself with other women who are pushing through discomfort and chasing their dreams, regardless of their fear(s) What pursuing alignment really looks and feels like + giving yourself permission to ‘turn the page’ and change, because your life won’t always look the same Finding your ‘flow’ in business + how the consistency piece tends to plague most business owners and leads to more resistance The beauty and safety that comes from truly knowing yourself, and the magnificent, ‘juicy’ life that awaits you on the other side 3 steps to take to dive in and discover WHO you really are Pursuing more peace and love instead of more numbers on a spreadsheet + putting love and time in the right order in your life Resources & Links: A Court of Thorns & Roses by Sarah J.

112 | The Lost Art of Using Your Brain Box: The Unshakable Calling for Diverse Perspectives, Empathy, and Critical Thinking 25:56

48 weeks ago25:56

25:56

In today’s episode, I want to talk about the ‘lost art of using your brain box’, and why the unshakable calling for diverse perspectives, empathy, and critical thinking matters now, more than ever. For me, I’m questioning sooo many things - I feel a bit of a disconnect, because it’s uncomfortable, and I’ve still found myself thinking about other people and their opinions. Maybe you’re feeling similarly, because you’re questioning your thoughts and beliefs that you once had, but...you’re fearful to share, due to how others may react. But you know what? I’m so BEYOND the close-minded bullshit that we’ve been in proximity with for far too long! I believe our purpose and who we truly are is meant to evolve and grow and change. Every step of our journey will get us closer to where we’re meant to be, and surrounding ourselves with others who are doing things a little differently is a beautiful part of the process! I wish that more people today would be curious, because curiosity creates empathy. We NEED to be willing to learn from others and their diverse perspectives, instead of being so misaligned and disconnected. In this episode, I cover: My recent rebrand for my podcast and business + how it’s really allowed me to come home to myself, instead of staying in a specific ‘box’ I never truly fit in Realizing that your purpose should change, evolve, and grow, because every step of your journey will get you closer to where you’re meant to be The deep disconnection we have not only from ourselves, but each other and nature Discovering what empathy looks like when we choose to actually think for ourselves Breaking free from the ‘cookie cutter, good girl’ mold you’ve felt trapped in, and instead, embracing your beautiful, weird, and multi passionate self Resources & Links: Gather in Growth Sponsorship Inquiry Branch Creative Co Book me as a speaker for your next event Gather in Growth podcast produced by: Jill Carr Podcasting Connect with Emily: Follow on Instagram and Facebook Join my email list Check out my website Connect with on LinkedIn Be sure to hit subscribe so you never miss the latest episode!

111 | Functional Dentistry, Reclaiming Expectations, and Leveraging Your Spouse’s Career to Build a Six Figure Business with Eliza Clayton 47:49

49 weeks ago47:49

47:49

I’m honored to welcome my friend, Eliza Clayton, onto the podcast today! Eliza has a pretty incredible story of (unexpectedly) turning her husband’s dental career into a booming, six-figure business, using social media, digital products, and more. However...Eliza grew up in a devoutly religious family, and after marrying young and having children, she felt like putting her family and their needs above everyone else is what her contribution ‘should’ be forever. Building a business (or anything of her own, really) was never on her radar. She loved supporting her husband, and she was taught to prioritize his dreams, no matter what. Eliza has learned some valuable lessons since stepping into business too. What you bring to the table does matter, and just because you don’t feel ‘qualified’ to do something, doesn’t mean you shouldn’t move forward, and take action! The success that this business has brought for Eliza and her family has tremendously impacted not only how she sees herself and her role in her family, but her overall confidence too. In this episode, we cover: Eliza’s journey of supporting her husband with his start-up dental practice, to unexpectedly blowing up in the online space & creating a thriving business for her family The expectations we place on ourselves regarding marriage, having kids, etc. + struggling with not finding fulfillment in what we ‘thought’ would make us happy What functional dentistry is + what actually causes cavities Learning to stand on your own two feet and making something your ‘own’ + finding your unique perspective that you can bring to the table How Eliza’s success has dramatically shaped how she now sees herself, her role in her family, & her confidence + the impact it’s had on her family Resources & Links: Gather in Growth Sponsorship Inquiry Book me as a speaker for your next event Gather in Growth podcast produced by: Jill Carr Podcasting Connect with Eliza: Follow on Instagram @restoration.dentistry Check out their digital products Follow/subscribe their podcast, Dentistry Disrupted Connect with Emily: Follow on Instagram and Facebook Join my email list Check out my website Connect with on LinkedIn Be sure to hit subscribe so you never miss the latest episode!

110 | Olympic Lessons for Multi-Passionate Moms, Creatives, and Entrepreneurs 24:39

50 weeks ago24:39

24:39

I don’t know about you, but for me, this year’s games just felt different..in the best ways possible. So many women were competing, and for the first time ever, there was actually a 50/50 split between men and women! Women’s sports are definitely having their own moment right now, which I’m totally here for. I love the current movement that is women supporting and truly CELEBRATING other women too; I honestly never imagined this would be a reality for my generation, so it is pretty freaking inspirational to see! Since watching the Olympics and consuming the Olympic media in various places, I really wanted to share some of my favorite ‘nuggets’ (aka Olympic lessons) that hopefully you can implement into your own life as well. In this episode, I cover: The incredible ‘moment’ that moms are having at the Olympics + how it shows us that we can be awesome moms and still pursue our dreams Why taking time for and prioritizing your mental and physical health doesn’t make you weak, but stronger and better than ever How we’re continuing to crush the notion that we must tear each other down in order to have a seat at the table, because there’s actually room for ALL of us Moving away from unrealistic body standards + knowing that your overall health, appearance, etc. is never a ‘one-size-fits-all’ Why you should totally embrace your unique, multifaceted self, instead of shoving yourself into a box in order to be accepted and worthy Realizing that you can be multi-passionate, because YOU are your niche, and you can do and explore whatever you’re desiring to Why showing up as your authentic self ALWAYS wins + understanding that no matter how successful and happy you are, there will still be someone who doesn’t like you Resources & Links: Gather in Growth Sponsorship Inquiry Book me as a speaker for your next event Gather in Growth podcast produced by: Jill Carr Podcasting Connect with Emily: Follow on Instagram and Facebook Join my email list Check out my website Connect with on LinkedIn Be sure to hit subscribe so you never miss the latest episode!

109 | People Pleasing, Unshakable Boundaries, Communicating with Power, and Cultivating Self-Worth with Amy Green Smith 58:34

51 weeks ago58:34

58:34

I’m pumped to welcome my new friend, Amy Green Smith, onto the podcast today! I honestly feel she’s like my new best friend - she is SO freaking cool, and offers a very unique perspective on the topic of people pleasing (especially recovering people pleasers - I know there are many of us out there)! In today’s episode, we cover crucial topics like people pleasing, unshakable boundaries, communicating with power, cultivating self-worth, and more. Boundaries are one of those things that can feel pretty intimidating (to both people enforcing and receiving them), but they are extremely important when it comes to your self-worth and ‘enoughness’. Taking a three-pronged approach (like Amy recommends) can be incredibly beneficial when you’re ready to get serious about your boundaries and actually implement them (the follow through is key here). The world has plenty of badass, intelligent women who are incredibly brilliant, but they tend to doubt themselves, and feel like they don’t have ‘enough’ to offer. Contrary to what society had led us to believe, we ARE allowed to feel however the heck we want to, and we shouldn’t feel ashamed or ‘less than’ for our unique life decisions. In this episode, we cover: What boundaries are + why they are incredibly important in regards to your self-worth and ‘enoughness’ Why you should not allow your silence to make you a liar + using Amy’s three-pronged approach for setting boundaries when you need to have those tough conversations The detrimental impact that comes when you lose yourself and who you’re really meant to be, simply to fit in and please everyone around you Learning to cultivate your value + genuinely believing that you ARE allowed to feel however you do, regardless of what others think Taking inventory of who you’re willing/able to have difficult conversations with + practicing kindness and assertiveness when speaking with others Letting go of societal pressures when it comes to your health & body as you age + continually prioritizing your relationship with your partner Resources & Links: Gather in Growth Sponsorship Inquiry Book me as a speaker for your next event Gather in Growth podcast produced by: Jill Carr Podcasting Connect with Amy: Check out all of her free resources HERE Follow on Instagram @heyamygreensmith Check out Amy’s website Listen to her podcast The Bold-Faced Truth Podcast Connect with Emily: Follow on Instagram and Facebook Join my email list Check out my website Connect with on LinkedIn Be sure to hit subscribe so you never miss the latest episode!

Friends…I have a very special treat for you today! A few weeks ago, I had the honor of being part of The Goals with Soul Summit, hosted by my friend Kate House of the Live By Design Podcast! Kate is an absolute POWERHOUSE in the personal development space! The entire summit was built around helping high-achieving, goal-oriented women move from stressed and overwhelmed, to focused and making progress towards achieving their goals. I know there were SO many women from the Gather in Growth community that took part in the summit and had the pleasure of hearing from over 20 thought leaders in the personal development space. I received sooo many messages about my interview, that Kate and I decided to repost it HERE for you to enjoy it too! In this episode, we cover: Embracing the evolution of your life and career, instead of feeling like you have to do one thing forever Giving yourself permission to follow your passion and joy, instead of trying to fit yourself into a certain ‘box’ that society expects of you Using the prompt ‘wouldn’t it be cool if..’ to help you discover what you really want your life to look like (without any particular boundaries) Learning to trust and fully connect to your intuition + choosing curiosity, and not being afraid to explore what’s possible for you Letting go of perfectionism and finding peace and joy in your everyday life Being okay with finding yourself in the uncomfortable and ‘messy middle’ of your life, because it IS serving a purpose (even if you don’t understand right now) Some details about my brand NEW and exciting project, High Vibe 95 Resources & Links: A Court of Thorns and Roses Fae Isles Series Fourth Wing Plated Prisoner Series Crowns of Nyaxia Series Gather in Growth Sponsorship Inquiry Book me as a speaker for your next event Gather in Growth podcast produced by: Jill Carr Podcasting Some links referenced above are affiliate links which means I may receive a small commission at no extra cost to you.

Just 1 year ago I was talking about how my depth of understanding of growth had changed in my first year of podcasting; I honestly didn’t think I had any further to go, but boy, I was wrong!

In this episode, I cover: How Gather in Growth began 2 years ago + the literal life-changing conversations with guests that have continued to change & expand my mindset The beautiful evolution that both you AND I have experienced since the start of this podcast + actively choosing curiosity and growth as we walk alongside one another Why we SHOULD celebrate ourselves continually evolving, learning new things, and shifting our points of view Understanding that people can only meet you to the depths in which they have met themselves Taking time to think about what you want your ‘average Tuesday’ to look like + setting goals that will actually help you create a sustainable life you love Realizing that if you are feeling ‘stuck’ in a certain area of your life, there IS a reason why you’re feeling that way Why everything is ultimately connected to our nervous systems and how emotionally healthy and regulated we are Resources & Links: Branch Creative Co Gather in Growth Sponsorship Inquiry Book me as a speaker for your next event Gather in Growth podcast produced by: Jill Carr Podcasting Connect with Emily: Follow on Instagram and Facebook Join my email list Check out my website Connect with on LinkedIn Related Episodes: Episode 102 | Healing to the Depths of Your Soul and Nervous System Regulation with Sara Elise Johnson Episode 055 | What Does Personal Growth Mean to You?

105 | Failing Spectacularly, Cycle Curiosity, Embracing Seasons of Life and Entrepreneurship with Brittany MacLeod 55:44

1 year ago55:44

55:44

In today’s episode, Brittany MacLeod and I discuss failing spectacularly, cycle curiosity, embracing seasons of life and entrepreneurship, and more. Whatever season of life you’re currently in, it’s important to embrace this season, and think about what you actually need. Your goals don’t have an expiration date, and you also don’t have to wait for 20, 30, or 40 years from now to start living the life you actually want to live (contrary to what society will lead you to believe). If you’re ready for more purpose, joy, peace, health, and wealth, ALL of these things (and more) are possible for you to create, right where you are, RIGHT now! In this episode, we will cover: Brittany’s multi-passionate entrepreneurial journey + how she navigated the ‘fear of failure’ mindset, anxiety, and more as a business owner The deep, transformative healing that Brittany experienced away from the small town she grew up in + why it’s okay to leave and immerse yourself somewhere new too Finding true peace in your unique season of life Changing the narrative and normalizing the conversation surrounding the menstrual cycle + celebrating the superpower that it truly is for women Why being super ‘emotional’ and feeling deeply does NOT have to be a negative thing The current season of ‘survival’ Brittany is living + how awareness has played a much more significant role in her life recently Not getting caught up in the ‘and then’ mentality, but instead, choosing to find joy and purpose in the everyday life you are already living Why you actually don’t have to wait 20+ years from now to live the life you want and dream of Resources & Links: Gather in Growth Sponsorship Inquiry IGNITE + GROW Micromind - now enrolling!

104 | Betrayal Trauma, Relationship Boundaries, and Using Parts Work to Heal with Roxanne Kennedy Granata 54:58

1 year ago54:58

54:58

I’m honored to be joined by my inspiring, powerhouse friend, Roxanne Granata, for today’s episode! Roxanne is an Empowered Relationships Coach who specializes in healing the nervous system through Internal Family Systems (IFS - also known as Partswork) and Somatics. Her journey began a little over a decade ago when she experienced betrayal trauma with her now ex-husband, and his hidden addiction to pornography. This path was very painful and made her question herself (and even her sanity) along the way. Ultimately, it led her to experience healing that she didn’t know was possible, a newfound purpose and passion, becoming a published author, and even remarriage. In this episode, we will cover: Roxanne’s story of discovering her first husband’s addiction + the powerful healing journey and new career that happened for her as a result Learning to set boundaries and surrender the outcome, no matter how scary or out of control it feels like Key differences of standard talk therapy vs. EMDR The power of Partswork (IFS) therapy + what it’s like to actually find and ‘talk’ to a part of you that needs healing Understanding that having awareness and being very intentional about the ‘work’ you’re doing will positively impact and heal your kids + future generations Realizing that it’s not about fixing every aspect of your life, but instead, fixing and healing YOU Resources & Links: Altogether You by Jenna Riemersma Gather in Growth Sponsorship Inquiry More info on the Ignite + Grow Micromind Join the Ignite + Grow Micromind waitlist Learn more about my speaking Get your YouDoYou32 tracker!

103 | A Mom's Lesson in Moving Forward with Love Instead of Fear with Lisa Brennan 44:26

1 year ago44:26

44:26

I am joined by Lisa Brennan, an incredible person who I've known for a very long time, and I've been eager to have her on the podcast for a while now! In January 2018, Lisa and her family started a new chapter in life, after her youngest child shared she was a transgender woman. While this was unexpected and definitely came with adjustments, the Brennan family found that treasuring someone for who they truly are is magical and sacred - it doesn’t have to be scary, or something to hide. This was a beautiful conversation, and I hope Lisa’s story encourages you to lead with love, curiosity, and openness, because doing so will only change things for the better! In this episode, we will cover: Lisa’s story of navigating a new journey with her transgender daughter + how this eventually led to her writing a book about everything she learned and experienced How Lisa’s transgender daughter came out to her and her family + the research and resources Lisa started diving into in order to better understand everything The power of time and community that’s incredibly vital when you’re experiencing moments of isolation, and/or stepping into unfamiliar territory The beauty that comes from living authentically and doing what’s placed on your heart, and how this gives others permission to do the same Not being afraid to challenge religious and societal ‘norms’ and proudly embrace who God created you to be Taking time to look within yourself and being open to important issues around you, even if you don’t think you’re affected by them Continually learning and evolving, no matter your age or what you *think* you know Resources & Links: Gather in Growth Sponsorship Inquiry More info on the Ignite + Grow Micromind Join the Ignite + Grow Micromind waitlist Learn more about my speaking Get your YouDoYou32 tracker!

102 | Healing to the Depths of Your Soul and Nervous System Regulation with Sara Elise Johnson 42:27

1 year ago42:27

42:27

Sara and I connected on our recent mastermind retreat, and the knowledge and energy she radiates is undeniably contagious. Sara is a wife, mom, author, and Life Coach; she helps others transform and move forward in their lives, despite the circumstances they are facing. After experiencing her own physical and mental health battles (one of the biggest being told she would never be able to have children), Sara knew she wanted to turn her pain into purpose. She now supports women with their own healing and rejuvenation in a way that allows them to love and accept their true selves on a deep soul level. In this episode, we cover: Sara’s life-changing and healing journey with motherhood + why doing mindset work alone is not enough to bring true healing for you The complete identity crisis that rocked Sara, and how it ultimately led to her writing a book Why doing real self-care is what’s going to refuel and recharge you Effective ways to actually ‘overhaul’ your nervous system and promote healing Learning to be your own best friend as you grow and evolve, instead of looking for approval and validation from others Modeling the behavior we want our kids to see so they can build emotional intelligence and resilience, and truly experience the world differently Resources & Links: Gather in Growth Sponsorship Inquiry More info on the Ignite + Grow Micromind Join the Ignite + Grow Micromind waitlist Learn more about my speaking Get your YouDoYou32 tracker!

101 | Growing Wealth, Living in Two Worlds, and Showing Up as Your Authentic Self with Sadie Schweers 45:57

45:57

Sadie and I covered a variety of crucial topics in our conversation, and her incredible heart and passion for what she does really shines through. Whether it’s with your career, motherhood, finances, or leaving a legacy for your loved ones, embracing AND boldly showing up as your authentic self in your community (and life) is necessary.

In this episode, we will cover: The unique trajectory Sadie found herself on during college, and how that ultimately led to her launching a career in the finance space How Sadie empowers her clients to take control of their finances and cheers them on to achieve the goals they’re striving for Utilizing an IRA as an entrepreneur + not worrying about ‘starting small’, because your money will compound and continue working for you Sadie’s beautiful, yet challenging, experience of living in two different ‘worlds’, and how that impacts her in her everyday life Why we HAVE to continue changing the conversation and making our voices heard regarding the farming/ag world and business Honoring and respecting both the solid foundation the previous generation has built + the fresh ideas and perspectives the next generation is presenting Taking ownership and embracing your authentic role in your community + why it’s beneficial to cultivate different types of relationships in different spaces Boldly owning who you are and what you bring to the table, because what you have to offer IS valuable (and needed) Understanding that it’s okay to ‘stretch your boundaries’ and relinquish control in certain areas, so you’re able to grow and focus on your dreams Resources & Links: Gather in Growth Sponsorship Inquiry More info on the Ignite + Grow Micromind Join the Ignite + Grow Micromind waitlist Learn more about my speaking Get your YouDoYou32 tracker!

1:13:07

Not only are we celebrating the 100th episode of Gather in Growth, but I’m also joined by the love of my life - my husband, Andrew! I polled my IG community for questions they wanted to ask Andrew, and I have plenty of my own topics that we dig into as well, so you better believe this will be fun, and one you do NOT want to miss. In this episode, we cover: How Andrew and I met + how our (initial) long distance relationship positively impacted us Andrew’s change of heart when it came to pursuing farming + navigating challenges that typically come with intergenerational dynamics in farming and ag Andrew’s expectations with fatherhood + our intentionality with parenting and choosing to do things ‘differently’ from the beginning The importance of ‘putting yourself in your spouse’s shoes’ to really see what they’re going through in their day to day life What it was like for Andrew as I began my personal growth journey + what eventually ‘clicked’ for him to pursue it for himself Why me quitting my job to pursue entrepreneurship was the massive change we absolutely needed in our lives + what this transition was like for our family The growth, healing, and peace that has resulted for both Andrew and I since starting my business + the significant role therapy has played in the process Knowing that there will ALWAYS be hard things, but what truly matters is how you choose to work through them together Understanding that the way you and your partner process things will be different + why a high level of trust with each other is necessary Building resiliency as you work through roadblocks in entrepreneurship (or anything else in life) + why you’ll never have ’it all’ figured out Resources & Links: Gather in Growth Sponsorship Inquiry More info on the Ignite + Grow Micromind Join the Ignite + Grow Micromind waitlist Learn more about my speaking Get your YouDoYou32 tracker!

099 | Lessons from Lexington: Wins, Challenges, and Ideas from an Impulse Family Trip 35:09

1 year ago35:09

35:09

This impulse family trip was eye-opening (in the best ways possible), and really brought up SO many things for me. It reminded me to deeply think about how I’m spending time with my loved ones, parenting my kids, treating my body, planning and prioritizing, and even, how I’m showing up in community with others in this world (no matter their ideas or perspectives). I hope there’s a little nugget (or two) that you’re able to take from these lessons and apply to your own life, too! In this episode, we cover: The extra frustration and overwhelm that comes with ‘chaos planning’ and simply ‘winging it’ vs. ACTUALLY having a plan and setting yourself up for success Why you HAVE to be willing to give up what feels ‘easy’ for what you really want Being more intentional with being outside and spending time in nature this summer Our recent experience with multiple flat tires on my car + why this was such an important reminder that how we handle stress matters Consistently modeling behaviors and emotions that positively support our kids + the difficult and triggering work that comes from (re)parenting ourselves in the process Getting super clear on your priorities + making the time and space to plan for those things so they actually DO happen Stepping out of your comfort zone and choosing to be in community with other people who have different ideas, perspectives, upbringings, etc. Resources & Links: Gather in Growth Sponsorship Inquiry More info on the Ignite + Grow Micromind Join the Ignite + Grow Micromind waitlist Learn more about my speaking Get your YouDoYou32 tracker!

098 | Faith Expansion, Awakening The Senses, and Alchemy Through Artistry with Stephanie Simmons 34:27

1 year ago34:27

34:27

Taking the path to work on yourself and really dig into the hard stuff feels like HELL when you’re in it - it’s far from easy. The soul freedom and liberation that follows though, along with the expansion and acceptance of others is beautiful - it’s all connected, and it all matters. We were created to be in community with others, and we really can learn SO much from other people and their differences. Whether you’re on your own journey of faith expansion, or striving to live a life filled with authenticity, purpose, and peace, I know this episode will inspire you to keep going! Stephanie Simmons is a light capturer, story weaver, and loves telling tales through cinematography and photography. Stephanie is a witness to healing, a space holder, a creator, and time turner. Combining music with images, she creates films that take you on a journey. Stephanie transports her clients back in time to sacred moments, to assist with integration and bring back precious memories. Her films sprinkle the planet with light and invite others to join the journey of healing and remembering. Stephanie is passionate about using her hands with pure intention to create films that touch the heart, stir emotion, and shine a light on the sacred work of healing. In this episode, we will cover: Steph’s story of ‘checking all the boxes’ in her life while growing up, to eventually, deconstructing her faith and fully stepping into her most authentic, beautiful self Steph’s journey with finding videography + how she ‘flipped the switch’ and experienced a powerful awakening in 2020 Living authentically + the idea of self-confidence vs. self-worth The significant role Stephanie’s husband has played in her healing journey What it can look like to slow down and embody a ‘softer’ feminine energy, instead of the fast-paced masculine culture our society runs on The beautiful expansion and acceptance that comes when we’re not afraid of other people and their differences Continually pursuing curiosity and honesty within yourself Resources & Links: Gather in Growth Sponsorship Inquiry More info on the Ignite + Grow Micromind Join the Ignite + Grow Micromind waitlist Get your Monthly Mileage Tracker here Learn more about my speaking Get your YouDoYou32 tracker!

097 | Knowing Your Own Red Flags 19:53

1 year ago19:53

19:53

In today’s episode, I want to talk about the importance of knowing your own red flags - specifically, within your body. Not that long ago when I was working outside of the home, I was burning the candle at both ends and juggling ALL.THE.THINGS. I was trying to be everything for everyone, and at the time, I thought that was completely normal - I had adjusted to that way of living. I’ve put in a LOT of effort to get to a place that doesn’t feel like that anymore, but right now, things just feel sort of..hard. My body (primarily my nervous system) has been letting me know it’s feeling all of the chaos and overwhelm and exhaustion, and these feelings are completely clashing with the alignment and peace that it craves (and is now used to). In this episode, we cover: Understanding that the pursuit of growth, healing, and alignment may feel REALLY hard in the moment, but is totally worth it too The powerful awareness that happens when you feel centered and at peace in your life, but have to choose hard things that directly clash against those feelings My recent period from hell paired with a launch week that led to even MORE dysregulation for me Gaining awareness around what alignment actually feels like in your body + finding gratitude for the work you’ve already done to heal and understand yourself better Resources & Links: Gather in Growth Sponsorship Inquiry More info on the Ignite + Grow Micromind Join the Ignite + Grow Micromind waitlist Get your Monthly Mileage Tracker here Learn more about my speaking Get your YouDoYou32 tracker!

096 | Ask Better Questions 15:20

1 year ago15:20

15:20

The work that I’ve been doing the last few years has pushed me to help others step outside of their comfort zones, challenge expectations, and break through limiting beliefs. I’ve LOVED getting to do this, but I’ve also come to the realization that I’m still holding myself back when it comes to questioning, and going against the norm. Maybe you can relate to this in some way; if you can, I want you to give yourself permission to dream, and do, and simply just approach things in a fresh, and different way. In this episode, we cover: Why our society as a whole has lost the ability to think critically, and simply just ‘be’ in conversation with others who have differing beliefs and opinions Agreeing with others because it feels easier, instead of asking questions and sharing a different perspective in fear of ‘rocking the boat’ Why people are a LOT more similar than we may think + understanding how vital community and connection is for all of us My recent realization that I’ve been holding myself back from asking better questions, all for the illusion of peace + why I’m no longer doing this going forward Resources & Links: Gather in Growth Sponsorship Inquiry EVOLVE Developing Entrepreneur Mastermind EVOLVE Scaling Entrepreneur Mastermind Get your Monthly Mileage Tracker here Learn more about my speaking Get your YouDoYou32 tracker!

095 | The Adventure Begins! 29:00

1 year ago29:00

29:00

My original plan for this episode was to do more of a ‘vlog’ style, because I recently traveled to a retreat I invested in for myself; I thought it would be fun to share what was happening as I was going through everything! I didn’t end up going that route (mainly because my brain kind of felt like mush every night when I planned to record, due to the fun-filled days and super late nights). I felt surprisingly calm going into this retreat experience, because I put little expectations and stress on myself. I chose to go into this with an open mind, and BOY, now that I’m on the other side and back home with my family, I feel like the next evolution of my business is just bubbling inside of me, waiting to come out in entirely new ways! In this episode, we cover: The crazy magic that happens when you step outside of your comfort zone and surround yourself with others who are doing big, incredible things Finding true alignment with your priorities + the deep realization that you’ll never sacrifice what matters most to you again, simply to achieve a certain result The healing and empowering energy that comes from being in a growth space with others Why your definition of success doesn’t have to be all of the super sexy, ‘flashy’ stuff Understanding that money can be an amplifier for GOOD, and it’s not selfish or greedy to desire more financial resources for you and your family Why growth is something I care SO deeply about + continues to be the underlying theme in my messaging for my podcast, business, and life Resources & Links: Gather in Growth Sponsorship Inquiry EVOLVE Developing Entrepreneur Mastermind EVOLVE Scaling Entrepreneur Mastermind Get your Monthly Mileage Tracker here Learn more about my speaking Get your YouDoYou32 tracker!

094 | Simplify to Amplify with Ashlea Strickler 31:08

1 year ago31:08

31:08

Ashlea and I talk more about what it can look like to ‘simplify to amplify’ in all aspects of our life. Growing up in a generation that’s big on ‘quitters don’t win, and winners don’t quit’, we think that chasing (and achieving) the next big thing will FINALLY make us feel like we’re enough, and prove our worth. Unfortunately, this is why soooo many of us are frazzled, overwhelmed, and pretty much drowning in the day to day. Instead of trying to do ALL.THE.THINGS, what if we chose to focus on one specific thing that we were lit up about, and actually made sense in our current season of life? Ashlea Stricker is a farm wife, mom of 3 boys, and hairstylist living in a rural town in central Iowa. When she’s not chasing her boys or helping out on the farm, you can find her reading her favorite book, or watching Gilmore Girls (with a coffee in hand, and of course, avoiding laundry at all costs). Ashlea is a big dreamer and she loves cheering others on - she is a self-proclaimed cheerleader and your biggest hype girl! In this episode, we cover: What Ashlea’s journey of ‘simplifying’ has looked like Why so many of us are frazzled, overwhelmed, and exhausted all the time Prioritizing one main thing, instead of thinking you need to be doing #allthethings Digging deep into the ‘mental weight’ that you’re holding onto regarding expectations and limiting beliefs + how to shift to more empowering thoughts Showing others that it’s actually okay to QUIT something when it’s just not the best fit for you anymore Adjusting our level of expectation for the season of life we’re in + letting go of the ‘perfectionism’ tendencies that plague so many of us Focusing on what you truly want in the season of life you’re in + giving yourself permission to grow and evolve along the way Resources & Links: Gather in Growth Sponsorship Inquiry EVOLVE Developing Entrepreneur Mastermind EVOLVE Scaling Entrepreneur Mastermind Get your Monthly Mileage Tracker here Learn more about my speaking Get your YouDoYou32 tracker!

Jena Ochsner and I are talking more about pursuing alternative healthcare for your family, and why it’s not a bad thing to ‘go against the grain’ in this way. Jena has healed herself from the inside out. She’s passionate about living a healthier, ‘crunchy’ lifestyle, and she continues advocating for herself and her family. You can find hope for healing, and get to a place of thriving and flourishing in your everyday life! In this episode we will cover: Jena’s wild story of dealing with debilitating headaches & migraines for years with no clear answers from western medicine, to eventually finding functional medicine support and reclaiming her health What MTHFR is + how eliminating folic acid and artificial dyes have greatly impacted Jena’s health Knowing there are benefits to western medicine (and it IS needed), while also wishing western and functional medicine could work together to truly support people The ‘golden handcuffs’ that is health insurance + other insurance options that can still work for you and your family Really evaluating how certain foods and drinks make your body feel (gluten, dairy, alcohol, etc.), and the dramatic perspective shift that comes from doing so Choosing to invest in your health now, because you’ll either pay for your wellness or pay for your sickness How living a healthier, ‘crunchy’ lifestyle can still exist with current farming and ag practices Resources & Links: Jena’s health story shared on her podcast, Beyond the Crops Gather in Growth Sponsorship Inquiry EVOLVE Developing Entrepreneur Mastermind EVOLVE Scaling Entrepreneur Mastermind Get your Monthly Mileage Tracker here Learn more about my speaking Get your YouDoYou32 tracker!

092 | Why It’s SO Hard to Ask for Help (And Why You Should!) 26:59

1 year ago26:59

26:59

In today’s episode, I want to talk about why it’s SO hard to ask for help, and even more, why you should be doing so. Women (and especially moms) are praised for being helpers, and putting everyone else first, while their needs are constantly pushed on the backburner. I mean...I myself am a thirty-something millennial mom living rural, who also was ingrained with the high-achieving, ‘do it all’ mentality for most of my life. Yeah...you could say it felt pretty unnatural for me to ask for help with my kids, house, etc., at first! I know it’s SO hard to ask for help, but at the end of the day, YOU are in charge of building a beautiful life that lights you up. Sometimes that means being vulnerable, and allowing your loved ones to support you where you need it, so you can flourish in this life! In this episode, we cover: How your micro experiences from childhood shaped you, and what it looks like to bring them into adulthood Why the communication piece is VITAL in helping you not feel like a burden + finding self-awareness around what you really need Getting to the place of understanding you can’t (nor do you want) to do it ALL, and being totally okay with that Effectively tackling the conversation surrounding household division of labor + letting things go, even if they aren’t done ‘exactly’ the way you would do them Accepting the fact that other people are going to do things differently than you, but it doesn’t have to be a bad thing Resources & Links: Gather in Growth Sponsorship Inquiry Join one of my Masterminds !

In today’s episode, I want to talk about seasons of change, and what happens as we continue piling on more duties, goals, responsibilities, etc., to our (already) overflowing plates. Our plates can be abundantly full of things we love and enjoy, but when we continue adding without removing anything, we start to feel exhausted, drained, and ultimately, like we’re not ‘enough’. So many of us fall into the trap of chasing achievement and praise, and we think that if we choose to shift our priorities and give something up along the way, we’ll be deemed a failure. I’m here to tell you that this is NOT the case. In this episode, we cover: Taking the time to inventory what’s actually on your ‘plate’, and if it’s something that belongs there (or doesn’t) Focusing on work that really lights you up and serves you well in your current season My recent experience with bringing my 5 month old to the Ascend retreat + my realization surrounding the impact and value I still provided for the women there Getting purposeful about your priorities + honoring your energy during times of chaos and uncertainty Understanding that you have more power over your reality and your circumstances than you may think Resources & Links: Gather in Growth Sponsorship Inquiry Join one of my Masterminds !

48:47

I’m excited to have my amazing friend, Calli Thorne, as today’s podcast guest! Calli and I are talking all about mindset and mental health, and what the work looks like when you’re truly ready to change your mindset. Changing your mindset is a paradigm shift, and you HAVE to be willing to dig into the thoughts and feelings you’re having on a daily basis, if you want to change your circumstances. We’re also discussing what mental health first aid is, why it’s important that we take time to listen and give people a chance to share how they’re (really) doing, how to start having more conversations about mental health with your loved ones (especially when those deep-rooted, intergenerational stigmas are very present), and more. In this episode, we will cover: How you can begin changing your mindset + the work that actually goes into doing so Where people can begin if they’re ready for therapy, coaching, or any other mental health resources How to start having more conversations about mental health with those closest to you Learning to define what a successful, well-rounded life looks like for YOU The number one thing that affects most people when they struggle and experience life’s challenges Applauding yourself for what you’re doing + choosing to say ‘no’ to those things that aren’t priorities or bring value to your life Resources & Links: Gather in Growth Sponsorship Inquiry Join one of my Masterminds !

I’m joined by my wonderful friend, Kaitlin Cox, for today’s episode! Kaitlin and I are talking about loss, healing, and empowerment, and what it looks like to pursue true alignment and purpose. We’re discussing how the power of intentionality and tenacity can support you with no longer fearing failure, leaning into your faith during life’s many ups and downs, not getting ‘bogged down’ with the big picture, Kaitlin’s podcast and her new, upcoming event to inspire and bring more women together in community, and more. Kaitlin Cox is a multifaceted individual whose life weaves through the landscapes of rural living, the heart of a bustling home, and the creativity of a hairstylist's studio. With a warm heart and a hands-on approach to life, Kaitlin embraces the roles of a farm wife, devoted mother to her energetic boys, passionate hairstylist & educator, and the voice behind her podcast, Emerging as Me. In this episode, we will cover: Kaitlin’s journey with her first miscarriage, a confirmed PCOS diagnosis, and eventually, the heartbreaking loss of her second baby Kaitlin’s feeling of wanting to leave her dream job to pursue something more, and how the Ascend retreat gave her the nudge to actually do so Making the best decision you can for today, and not getting ‘bogged down’ with the big picture The strength that comes from true self-awareness Not getting tangled up in fear and doubt when you’re doing something new and unfamiliar Resources & Links: Gather in Growth Sponsorship Inquiry Join one of my Masterminds !

088 | Power of the Pivot with Kari Jo Kelso 37:52

1 year ago37:52

37:52

Kari Jo and I are talking all about the power of the pivot, and what it looks like to take riskier pursuits alongside a more ‘safe’ career choice. We’re digging into the importance of gaining clarity and really shifting your perspective when it comes to living your life (without letting other people’s opinions factor into this), how a high achievement-oriented personality can show up for business owners, the whirlwind of emotions that come with going in a completely new direction in business, mindset blocks and limiting beliefs that tend to plague many entrepreneurs, and more. Kari Jo was born and raised in rural West Central Illinois. She grew up with a passion for agriculture and pursued a doctorate of veterinary medicine (DVM) at Oklahoma State University. Less than a year after graduating, she started a side hustle selling t-shirts online to help pay for plane tickets home. Little did she know that this would grow into (mostly) her full-time job. There have been a few twists and turns through the years, but she still loves practicing 2 days a week, and even owns an event venue downtown in her hometown. In this episode, we will cover: Gaining clarity and shifting your perspective of how you truly want to live YOUR life (no matter what anyone else thinks) What led Kari Jo to recently rebrand and pivot her business + the many mixed emotions that pop up when you’re making big changes in your business Finding acceptance in knowing that you’re making the best decision and going in the right direction, even when you feel uncertain and uncomfortable Limiting beliefs and mindset challenges that come with being a small business owner in a small town Resources & Links: Gather in Growth Sponsorship Inquiry Join one of my Masterminds !

087 | Why You Should Commit to An Endurance Challenge 30:38

1 year ago30:38

30:38

In today’s episode, I want to talk about why you should commit to an endurance challenge. Running is such a beautiful example of how you can show up for yourself, and it’s also a powerful lesson in goal setting. While it’s one thing to say you’re going to run or train for a certain event, it’s an entirely different thing to actually commit, and do the dang thing! When you push past the limits of what you think is possible, it unlocks an entirely new capacity for what IS possible in your life. In this episode, we cover: My journey to never feeling confident or coordinated doing any type of athletics, to a place of loving and honoring my body with running and regular movement Learning to set a goal that you can actually reverse engineer + why running is one of the most powerful lessons in goal setting The moment I vowed to never pass on the ugly diet culture mentality to my children Understanding what your priorities are and being okay with asking for help when you need it Growing the ‘muscles’ of grit and tenacity by doing hard things that you never thought you were capable of, but feel so proud of when you do The fantastic health benefits that come from running (or any type of endurance challenge) What my training plan looks like Resources & Links: Learn more about ASCEND retreats and get on my email list to get all the updates!

086 | Wall Art and Intuition 23:12

1 year ago23:12

23:12

Multiple times throughout my life, I’ve learned HOW important it is to lean into my own intuition, instead of playing by other people’s rulebooks. We all have that gut feeling, and little ‘inner knowing’, but so often, we’re afraid to tune into it (or we’ve forgotten how to). I even experienced this with my most recent Ascend retreat event, and the way I went about planning and marketing for it. While I believe it can be helpful to get other people’s perspectives, in the end, you have to be able to trust that you really DO know what’s best, and what will yield the most fruitful outcome. In this episode, we cover: My recent experience with trying to create a fun and unique gym space in our (newly) renovated home, and my realization that came from this Leaning into your intuition and gut feeling, instead of playing by someone else’s rules and what they think you should do Opening registration and marketing for my Ascend retreat a year in advance, and the results that came from that Choosing to do things my own way with my entrepreneurial journey, the decisions I made as a first time mom, etc. Resources & Links: Learn more about ASCEND retreats and get on my email list to get all the updates!
