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 usKylie’s ‘Grow, Hoe, Sow’ tool + how you can apply it to your lifeWhat 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 soKylie’s journey with Human Design + why learning your unique design & energy type can be life-changingKylie’s upcoming podcast, Boldly GroundedNavigating what authentic alignment looks like for you and only youBe sure to hit subscribe so you never miss the latest episode!Connect with Kylie:Download her ‘Grow, Hoe, Sow’ workshopFollow on Instagram @kylieepperson_ and @boldlygroundedpodcastCheck out her websiteConnect with Emily:Follow on Instagram and FacebookJoin my email listCheck out my websiteConnect with me on LinkedInRelated episodes:Episode 012 | Whose Expectations Are You Living Into? with Kylie EppersonResources & Links:Gather in Growth Sponsorship InquiryBook me as a speaker for your next eventGather in Growth podcast produced by: Jill Carr PodcastingMentioned in this...

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 thisHow I’m giving myself permission to embrace & explore what I’m being drawn to in my current season of lifeBeing 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 monetizedBe sure to hit subscribe so you never miss the latest episode!Connect with Emily:Follow on Instagram and FacebookJoin my email listCheck out my websiteConnect with on LinkedInResources & Links:Gather in Growth Sponsorship InquiryBook me as a speaker for your next eventGather in Growth podcast produced by: Jill Carr PodcastingMentioned in this episode:Join us in Yellowstone!Yellowstone Retreat

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 unknownChoosing to trust yourself over logic (even when it feels super scary)Understanding that there is no single ‘right’ path + what momentum really meansWhy you can invite your partner onto your journey & ask for their support, but you don’t need their ‘permission’ to pursue your aligned, best lifeThe misconception that alignment automatically equals ‘ease’Be sure to hit subscribe so you never miss the latest episode!Connect with Emily:Follow on Instagram and FacebookJoin my email listCheck out my websiteConnect with on LinkedInResources & Links:Gather in Growth Sponsorship InquiryBook me as a speaker for your next eventGather in Growth podcast produced by: Jill Carr PodcastingMentioned in this episode:Join us in Yellowstone!Yellowstone Retreat

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&nbsp;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.&nbsp;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 isThe connection between self-sabotage &amp; harm reduction + finding a ‘healthy’ hobby for yourselfRealizing 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 haveThe beauty that comes when we give ourselves space to truly expand and discover new parts of ourselvesStepping out of your comfort zone and into conversations &amp; community with others you’ve never been a part of, but know you need to beTaking yourself ‘seriously’ when it comes to taking action and following through with your goalsWhy it’s beautiful, safe, and productive to embrace ‘seasonality’ and cycles in lifeBe sure to hit subscribe so you never miss the latest episode!Connect with Sarah:Follow on Instagram and TikTokCheck out her YouTubeCheck out her websiteConnect with Emily:Follow on Instagram and FacebookJoin my email listCheck out my websiteConnect with me on LinkedInRelated Episodes:Episode 125 | Part 1: Self-Experimenting and Unmasking: Discovering Who You Really Are with Sarah WelchResources and Links:<a...

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.&nbsp;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 herselfWhat can happen when you ‘crack open’ everything within yourself that you’ve been ignoring (and not really understanding) for SO longPractical steps you can take to get to know yourself againWhat ‘checking in with yourself’ actually looks likeThe concept of ‘masking’ + how it can show up in your lifeThe incredibly beautiful AND hard part about raising children + being a cycle ‘starter’ in regards to moving forwardHow 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 especiallyThe misguided expectation we have that someone else needs to ‘fill our needs’Be sure to hit subscribe so you never miss the latest episode!Connect with Sarah:Follow on Instagram and TikTok&nbsp;Check out her YouTubeCheck out her websiteConnect with Emily:Follow on Instagram and FacebookJoin my email listCheck out my websiteConnect with me on LinkedInSome links referenced below are affiliate links which means I may receive a small commission at no extra cost to you.

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.&nbsp;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!&nbsp;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 differentRealizing that every single person is carrying something ‘hard’ that the outside world can’t seeThe power in what is the ‘ripple effect’ + how I’ve seen this play out in my own lifeWhy making the world a better place actually starts with you and your healingWhy it’s beautiful + actually normal to not ‘fit in a box’ and fully align with one political partyThe collective necessity towards practicing genuine empathy + why I KNOW that my purpose is rooted in healingUnderstanding that while it’s great to evolve, you are already worthy and ‘enough’, just as you areBe sure to hit subscribe so you never miss the latest episode!Connect with Emily:Follow on Instagram and FacebookJoin my email listCheck out my websiteConnect with on LinkedInRelated Episodes:Episode 089 | Loss, Healing, and Empowerment with Kaitlin CoxResources and Links:Gather in Growth Sponsorship InquiryBook me as a speaker for your next eventGather in Growth podcast produced by: Jill Carr PodcastingMentioned in this episode:Join us in Yellowstone!Yellowstone Retreat

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.&nbsp;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 todayHow the church &amp; religion influences women + the way they show up in the worldWhat people pleasing looks like from a young age + what happens when it starts to feel like a burdenWhy both people pleasing and not people pleasing is uncomfortable + how to process the discomfort that comes with not people pleasingHow to ‘find’ yourself again when you feel completely lost in motherhoodHow to have those ‘tough’ conversations with those around you when you’re done with people pleasingRedefining what it actually means for you to be a ‘good mom’Internal Family Systems + how we can connect to this and move past people pleasingBe sure to hit subscribe so you never miss the latest episode!Connect with Sara:Check out Stop People Pleasing: Holiday Edition (workshop &amp; coaching experience)Download her free guide: How to Have a Difficult ConversationFollow on Instagram and FacebookJoin her free Facebook communityCheck out her websiteFollow on TikTokListen to The Ex-Good Girl PodcastSubscribe to her YouTube channelConnect with on LinkedInConnect with Emily:Follow on Instagram and FacebookJoin my email listCheck out my <a...

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 inMy story of wearing ‘busy’ like a badge of honor + how I’ve actively worked to change that over timeMy journey through burnout + the unexpected blessings this led toChoosing 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 yourselfBe sure to hit subscribe so you never miss the latest episode!Connect with Emily:Follow on Instagram and FacebookJoin my email listCheck out my websiteConnect with on LinkedInResources &amp; Links:Gather in Growth Sponsorship InquiryBook me as a speaker for your next eventGather in Growth podcast produced by: Jill Carr PodcastingMentioned in this episode:Join us in Yellowstone!Yellowstone Retreat

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 yearsWhat human design is + who it can help&nbsp;Understanding &amp; using our human design effectively as entrepreneursThe 5 different human design energy typesThe ‘authority’ piece of human design + how this works with your intuitionWhat Leah’s ‘coming home to herself’ has looked like in recent yearsHow human design has been the vehicle for Leah’s dream life creation + her upcoming bookSlowing down + really embracing the season you’re in&nbsp;Be sure to hit subscribe so you never miss the latest episode!Connect with Leah:Learn more about Human Design Mastery, her reader training programFollow on Instagram @leahmccloud and @thedesignofyouCheck out her websiteListen to her podcast The Design of You&nbsp;Connect with Emily:Follow on Instagram and FacebookJoin my email listCheck out my websiteConnect with on LinkedIn&nbsp;Related Episodes:Episode 015 | What is Human Design? with Leah McCloud&nbsp;Resources &amp; Links:Some links referenced below are affiliate links which means I may receive a small commission at no extra cost to you.

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.&nbsp;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 wayWhere fear actually comes from + the role imposter syndrome playsHow we create safety instead of simply ‘finding’ it + ways to regulate our nervous systemWhat 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&nbsp;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 &amp; our intuition + why overcoming fear is actually impossible, but not a bad thingUnderstanding 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!&nbsp;Connect with Tracy:Listen to her Ted Talk: Dear Fear, It’s Not You, It’s MeCheck out her article: The Fundamental Fallacy of Imposter SyndromeTake the epic FREE Ascension Assessment TestListen to the FREE Courage to Fail audio seriesFollow on Instagram @thetracylitt and @the_schoolofbecomingFollow on FacebookConnect on LinkedInCheck out her websiteConnect with Emily:Follow on Instagram and FacebookJoin my email listCheck out my <a...

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 timeUnderstanding that we ALL experience hard seasons, and admitting that we’re struggling won’t take away from someone else’s situationWhy we so often shove down and ‘pack away’ our emotions &amp; feelings, instead of addressing them right awayThe constant praise for independence + realizing you don’t have to do it alone, and you’re actually NOT a burden when you ask for helpBe sure to hit subscribe so you never miss the latest episode!Connect with Emily:Follow on Instagram and FacebookJoin my email listCheck out my websiteConnect with on LinkedInRelated Episodes:Episode 066 | Harvest Mom HacksResources &amp; Links:Gather in Growth Sponsorship InquiryBook me as a speaker for your next eventGather in Growth podcast produced by: Jill Carr PodcastingMentioned in this episode:Join us in Yellowstone!Yellowstone Retreat

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!&nbsp;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’ eitherHow my definition of success has dramatically changed in the last yearUnderstanding that you can’t ‘magically’ create confidence, because it’s cultivated by taking brave, scary actionRealizing that you’re already capable and qualified to start doing that ‘thing’ that you know you’re meant to doThe beauty that awaits you when you come HOME to yourself + fully know, love, and trust yourselfBe sure to hit subscribe so you never miss the latest episode!Find the complete show notes here:&nbsp;https://emilyreuschel.com/117-cultivating-confidence-sucking-at-something-new-and-taking-brave-action/&nbsp;Connect with Emily:Follow on Instagram and FacebookJoin my email listCheck out my websiteConnect with on LinkedInResources &amp; Links:Gather in Growth Sponsorship InquiryBook me as a speaker for your next eventGather in Growth podcast produced by: Jill Carr PodcastingMentioned in this episode:Join us in Yellowstone!Yellowstone Retreat

I’m VERY excited to have a special guest, Lindsy Trotter, on the podcast today!&nbsp;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).&nbsp;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 businessWhen you’re misaligned/don’t know what’s next in your business, and feel like ‘burning it down’ is all that’s left to doWhy therapy and ‘feeling your feelings’ isn’t necessarily fun or enjoyable, but is crucial when you’re ready for the next chapter in your lifeLindsy’s upcoming course + what she wishes she better understood her first year in businessHow ADHD has impacted Lindsy + how she shows up in businessBe sure to hit subscribe so you never miss the latest episode!Find the complete show notes here:&nbsp;https://emilyreuschel.com/116-morning-sun-entrepreneurship-with-adhd-and-burning-it-down-with-lindsy-trotter/&nbsp;Connect with Lindsy:Get on the waitlist for Lindsy’s upcoming course HEREFollow on Instagram @lindsy.trotter and @chilledfreezermealsCheck out her websiteConnect with Emily:Follow on Instagram and FacebookJoin my email listCheck out my websiteConnect with on LinkedInSome links referenced below are affiliate links which means I may receive a small commission at no extra cost to you.

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.&nbsp;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 yourselfWhy SO many women struggle with the concept of knowing, loving, and trusting themselvesBeing 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 moreThe obsession we have with right versus wrong + actually ‘feeling our feelings’, so our emotions can move through usBe sure to hit subscribe so you never miss the latest episode!Connect with Emily:Follow on Instagram and FacebookJoin my email listCheck out my websiteConnect with on LinkedInRelated Episodes:Episode 086 | Wall Art and IntuitionEpisode 015 | What is Human Design? with Leah McCloudResources &amp; Links:Gather in Growth Sponsorship InquiryBook me as a speaker for your next eventGather in Growth podcast produced by: Jill Carr PodcastingMentioned in this episode:Join us in Yellowstone!Yellowstone Retreat

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&nbsp;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 sameFinding your ‘flow’ in business + how the consistency piece tends to plague most business owners and leads to more resistance&nbsp;The beauty and safety that comes from truly knowing yourself, and the magnificent, ‘juicy’ life that awaits you on the other side3 steps to take to dive in and discover WHO you really arePursuing more peace and love instead of more numbers on a spreadsheet + putting love and time in the right order in your lifeResources &amp; Links:A Court of Thorns &amp; Roses by Sarah J.

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 inRealizing that your purpose should change, evolve, and grow, because every step of your journey will get you closer to where you’re meant to beThe deep disconnection we have not only from ourselves, but each other and natureDiscovering what empathy looks like when we choose to actually think for ourselvesBreaking free from the ‘cookie cutter, good girl’ mold you’ve felt trapped in, and instead, embracing your beautiful, weird, and multi passionate selfResources &amp; Links:Gather in Growth Sponsorship InquiryBranch Creative CoBook me as a speaker for your next eventGather in Growth podcast produced by: Jill Carr PodcastingConnect with Emily:Follow on Instagram and FacebookJoin my email listCheck out my websiteConnect with on LinkedInBe sure to hit subscribe so you never miss the latest episode!Find the full show notes here:&nbsp;https://www.emilyreuschel.com/112-the-lost-art-of-using-your-brain-box-the-unshakable-calling-for-diverse-perspectives-empathy-and-critical-thinking&nbsp;Mentioned in this episode:Join us in Yellowstone!Yellowstone Retreat

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 &amp; creating a thriving business for her familyThe expectations we place on ourselves regarding marriage, having kids, etc. + struggling with not finding fulfillment in what we ‘thought’ would make us happyWhat functional dentistry is + what actually causes cavitiesLearning to stand on your own two feet and making something your ‘own’ + finding your unique perspective that you can bring to the tableHow Eliza’s success has dramatically shaped how she now sees herself, her role in her family, &amp; her confidence + the impact it’s had on her familyResources &amp; Links:Gather in Growth Sponsorship InquiryBook me as a speaker for your next eventGather in Growth podcast produced by: Jill Carr PodcastingConnect with Eliza:Follow on Instagram @restoration.dentistryCheck out their digital productsFollow/subscribe their podcast, Dentistry DisruptedConnect with Emily:Follow on Instagram and FacebookJoin my email listCheck out my websiteConnect with on LinkedInBe sure to hit subscribe so you never miss the latest episode!Find the complete show notes here:&nbsp;<a href="https://www.emilyreuschel.com/111-functional-dentistry-reclaiming-expectations-and-leveraging-your-spouses-career-to-build-a-six-figure-business-with-eliza-clayton" rel="noopener noreferrer"...

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 dreamsWhy taking time for and prioritizing your mental and physical health doesn’t make you weak, but stronger and better than everHow 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&nbsp;Moving away from unrealistic body standards + knowing that your overall health, appearance, etc. is never a ‘one-size-fits-all’&nbsp;Why you should totally embrace your unique, multifaceted self, instead of shoving yourself into a box in order to be accepted and worthyRealizing that you can be multi-passionate, because YOU are your niche, and you can do and explore whatever you’re desiring toWhy 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 youResources &amp; Links:Gather in Growth Sponsorship InquiryBook me as a speaker for your next eventGather in Growth podcast produced by: Jill Carr PodcastingConnect with Emily:Follow on Instagram and FacebookJoin my email listCheck out my websiteConnect with on LinkedInBe sure to hit subscribe so you never miss the latest episode!Find the complete show notes here:&nbsp;https://www.emilyreuschel.com/110-olympic-lessons-for-multi-passionate-moms-creatives-and-entrepreneurs&nbsp;Mentioned in this episode:Join us in Yellowstone!Yellowstone Retreat

I’m pumped to welcome my new friend, Amy Green Smith, onto the podcast today!&nbsp;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 conversationsThe detrimental impact that comes when you lose yourself and who you’re really meant to be, simply to fit in and please everyone around youLearning to cultivate your value + genuinely believing that you ARE allowed to feel however you do, regardless of what others think&nbsp;Taking inventory of who you’re willing/able to have difficult conversations with + practicing kindness and assertiveness when speaking with othersLetting go of societal pressures when it comes to your health &amp; body as you age + continually prioritizing your relationship with your partnerResources &amp; Links:Gather in Growth Sponsorship InquiryBook me as a speaker for your next eventGather in Growth podcast produced by: Jill Carr PodcastingConnect with Amy:Check out all of her free resources HEREFollow on Instagram @heyamygreensmithCheck out Amy’s websiteListen to her podcast The Bold-Faced Truth PodcastConnect with Emily:Follow on Instagram and FacebookJoin my email listCheck out my websiteConnect with on LinkedInBe sure to hit subscribe so you never miss the latest...

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 foreverGiving yourself permission to follow your passion and joy, instead of trying to fit yourself into a certain ‘box’ that society expects of youUsing 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 youLetting go of perfectionism and finding peace and joy in your everyday lifeBeing 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 95Resources &amp; Links:A Court of Thorns and RosesFae Isles SeriesFourth WingPlated Prisoner SeriesCrowns of Nyaxia SeriesGather in Growth Sponsorship InquiryBook me as a speaker for your next eventGather in Growth podcast produced by: Jill Carr PodcastingSome 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! I started this podcast talking about goals, habits, etc., but after having so many life-changing conversations with guests on this show in the last 2 years, I’ve learned it is SO much bigger and deeper than that. In today’s episode, I want to talk about 5+ things that I’ve learned about personal growth since launch day, and really, where I see Gather in Growth going in the future.   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?

I thought this would be the perfect time to do kind of a ‘catch up’ episode though, and update you on what’s been happening in my life, what’s on my mind, what summer has been like in the Reuschel household, what I am learning and working through in real time, and more. Honestly, my heart is on FIRE for this work I get to do with you, and this big, beautiful world we get to live in. If you’re all about cultivating curiosity and comfort with the unknown too, buckle up for this episode, friend - it’s going to be a blast!!   In this episode, I cover: The feeling of not doing ‘enough’ with your kids, family, career, life, etc. (during summer, or anytime really) that we all know too well Letting go of those unrealistic expectations that you put on yourself, and instead, living life on purpose in whatever season you’re in  Why I’m much more focused on nervous system regulation and tuning into my intuition now The constant pull I’ve been feeling lately to be outside and spending time in nature Why I’ve been so excited to bring on a variety of guests with new and unique perspectives and life experiences Really thinking about who you were before the world taught you to be otherwise, and why you feel like you NEED to change yourself to ‘be’ a certain way Realizing that you’re already enough, and worthy, and you can fully trust yourself to be who you’re meant to be  What’s next for my podcast, my business, my community and more + embracing my ‘level up’ and the internal healing work that I’m so ready for   Resources & Links: Gather in Growth Sponsorship Inquiry IGNITE + GROW Micromind - now enrolling!

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!

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!

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!

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!

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. What you bring to the table matters, friend, so make sure you own that, and don’t forget to get support where you need it so you can focus on making those big dreams a reality!   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!

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!

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!

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!

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!

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!

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!

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!

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!  Get your Monthly Mileage Tracker here Learn more about my speaking Get your YouDoYou32 tracker!

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!  Get your Monthly Mileage Tracker here Learn more about my speaking Get your YouDoYou32 tracker!

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!  Get your Monthly Mileage Tracker here Learn more about my speaking Get your YouDoYou32 tracker!

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!  Get your Monthly Mileage Tracker here Learn more about my speaking Get your YouDoYou32 tracker!

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!  Get your Monthly Mileage Tracker here Learn more about my speaking Get your YouDoYou32 tracker!

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!

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!

Jada and I are talking about the divine feminine and mother wounds, and how much masculine versus feminine energy comes into play here. The concept of ‘more’ can be so detrimental, because as women, we are always being told to go and DO more. Even if we are doing all.the.things, we still hear that what we are doing isn’t enough, and this negatively impacts us further. We’re also digging into the very precarious topic of mother wounds, and how this impacts both females and males, and the entire family dynamic. Mother wounds require a LOT of bravery to feel and explore, but it can feel nearly impossible to actually FEEL what is needed. When mother wounds go unnoticed or untreated, the lasting effects can show up completely off-kilter for husbands and wives, feelings of unworthiness become more ingrained in us, and we don’t pay any attention to the beautiful gift that is our intuition.   In this episode, we will cover: What divine femininity is + masculine vs. feminine energy, and how these traits show up for us in our world The concept of ‘more’, and changing the way we think what that really means Where the mother wound actually comes from, and why it’s such a tricky topic Why we ALL need nurturance + acknowledging how we both did (and didn’t) get nurtured when we needed it, and learning to self-nurture Really working on your ability to be able to receive, and finding confidence to ASK for what you need from a trusted person How males are affected by mother and parental wounds The off-kilter dynamic between husbands and wives that often shows up in marriages What you can do to start shifting and improving yourself and your marriage Why self worth is such an ENORMOUS piece of the puzzle + how it shows up in our bodies The detrimental effects that can happen when we lose/don’t tap into our intuition as women  Jada’s role in starting very uncomfortable and also deeply important conversations with women, and the world Being intentional about loving life in this moment, instead of trying to improve and do more   Resources & Links: Gather in Growth Sponsorship Inquiry Learn more about ASCEND retreats and get on my email list to get all the updates!

I’m excited to be joined by my friend, Jada Dobesh, on the podcast today! Jada and I connected in fall 2023, and we both share a passion for educating and inspiring women (especially in rural communities). We want to help women deeply understand and know themselves completely, so they actually can grow, heal, and thrive for years to come! In today's episode, Jada and I are talking about understanding and embracing your cycle, and what each phase of your cycle entails. Jada Dobesh is a Spiritual Healing Facilitator and the creator of Selah Space, a holistic wellness co-op in Sioux Falls. In her work, Jada offers her clients the space and the practices to heal their spirituality, sexuality and self-worth. Jada intentionally honors her client’s spiritual, physical, mental, and emotional well-being in her practice. Jada is delighted to share about the wisdom of the feminine body and its 5th vital sign, the menstrual cycle; womb energy and women’s reproductive health; generational wounds and the healing of mother wounds in women who are “technically fine.” When she’s not cultivating healing within the walls of Selah Space, a place for members and practitioners to come together in one space to help one another become well, Jada is mama to Audrey, age 5 and Marek, age 3, and wife to Witt. Jada’s education includes Bachelor of Arts degrees in Clinical Psychology and Theology/Youth Ministry and graduate degrees in Christian Leadership and Spiritual Direction. She is also certified in Master Level Reiki Healing and Brainspotting. In this episode, we will cover: Really understanding yourself and your cycle + the 4 phases in detail Healthy ways to ‘feel’ your feelings, and release them effectively Why your body’s symptoms are its way of communicating with you Rewriting the narrative around womanhood so we truly CAN understand and trust ourselves What the divine feminine is + how you can truly tap into it What the wounded feminine is + questioning why it’s been ingrained into us for so long   Resources & Links: Woman Code by Alisa Vitti Gather in Growth Sponsorship Inquiry Learn more about ASCEND retreats and get on my email list to get all the updates!

In today’s episode, I want to talk more about what happens when it’s been a hard week, and our emotions are allll over the place. For me personally, I’ve been intentional about personal growth and healing for several years now, but my brain will still default to old patterns of negative thinking when I’m feeling burned out, or just plain sad. While I don’t want to stay stuck spiraling into these negative thoughts and beliefs, I’ve learned to get comfortable with them, acknowledge them, and move on. Feeling a full range of emotions is a GOOD thing - I’m constantly working on this with my kids, because crying and releasing pent up emotions is necessary!   In this episode, we cover: Why walking is one of the most underrated tools that will totally improve your mental health Why your brain defaults to old, negative patterns at times, even after you’ve been on a personal growth and healing journey for awhile The importance of feeling a full range of emotions and letting them come out in healthy ways The endless possibilities that can happen when we let go of certain feelings and create space for new ones The rollercoaster of emotions that we experience when we are being intentional and trying new, uncomfortable things   Resources & Links: Learn more about ASCEND retreats and get on my email list to get all the updates!

In today’s episode, I want to talk more about the domino effect, and how this shows up so often in our lives. When you choose to move forward with your goals and dreams (however big or small they may be), it’s important to let go of those unnecessary expectations you’ve (more than likely) set for yourself. These decisions, and the action you’re choosing to take in the present, will impact your life, not only 6 months from now, but 6 years from now. Truthfully, your life is a culmination of the decisions you have made up until this point. Not making a decision IS a decision in itself.   In this episode, we cover: Why you don’t need to have every single step figured out before you take action with your goals and dreams The power of taking one step at a time Letting go of unnecessary expectations, and how doing so can positively impact your life in unexpected ways Those special moments that show us just how far we’ve come, learned, grown, etc. on our journey Putting yourself out there when you know it’s time to make a change in your life + the beautiful trajectory that follows Understanding that the all of the decisions you make now and going forward WILL impact your life days, months, and years from now   Resources & Links: House of Colour Kylie Epperson - House of Colour on Instagram Learn more about, and sign up for, Microminds!

I thought I would be a teacher for the rest of my life - I loved what I did in my teaching career, as well as the non-profit space. But, being able to exceed my teacher salary by SO MUCH, and not have to leave my family to go to a job for a set amount of hours has been indescribable.   I hope this episode not only encourages you, but lights a fire within you to step out, and pursue your passion. Whatever you’re considering doing and working toward, please know that all of it IS possible (and then some). I’m continually inspired by the magic of this community, and the amazing women I get to walk alongside - I’m so forever grateful for every single one of you!   In this episode, we cover: The pressure and expectations we put on ourselves to have everything done and in place before we start something new/put ourselves out in a new way Using one of my favorite prompts ‘wouldn’t it be cool if..’ to really think about and answer your goals and dreams (with no rules attached to it) My ‘lightbulb moment’ that led me to create my first mastermind Getting to a place of enjoying the fruits of my labor in my business, but also knowing I need to continue evolving and mixing things up Figuring out MY specific zone of genius as I prepared for my launch The power in knowing what your audience truly needs + being able to help them solve their problems Why our recent flood was actually one of the best things to happen during my launch   Resources & Links: Jade Boyd Learn more about, and sign up for, Microminds!
