Wild & Waking

Life is tender and messy and miraculous all at once. In this solo episode, Emily invites you into a reflection on the beautiful, brutal art of holding it all—the grief and the gratitude, the darkness and the light, the exhaustion and the quiet magic of simply being alive.Fresh off a transformative retreat and deep in the waves of pregnancy, she opens up about what it means to sit in discomfort without needing to fix it, to honor both the shadows and the blessings, and to find holiness in the wholeness of being human. This is an episode about slowing down enough to feel it all—to remember that life itself is the occasion, not something to earn once everything feels perfect.Emily explores the tension between what’s hard and what’s holy, sharing personal stories of grief, rage, beauty, and creativity. She reflects on the conditioning that teaches women to smile through pain, the ways we hide behind optimism, and the freedom that comes when we finally allow ourselves to be seen in every shade of our truth.This conversation is an offering—a reminder that your presence, your essence, and your being are enough. You don’t have to rush through this season or mask the hard parts. You get to hold the darkness, create the magic, and call it all sacred.In this episode, I explore:The beautiful and brutal truth of being fully alive — learning to hold both joy and grief, light and shadow, beauty and chaos as sacred parts of the human experienceThe power of sitting in discomfort without bypassing it, fixing it, or rushing it, and how this practice deepens emotional intelligence, presence, and embodimentHow pregnancy, physical limitations, and seasons of surrender can become portals for personal growth, compassion, and feminine wisdomThe conditioning that teaches women to “be fine,” to smile through pain, and to disconnect from their truth, and how to reclaim your wholeness by allowing yourself to feel it allThe sacred work of shadow integration and self-trust—how to hold rage, grief, and sadness without shame and see them as gateways to authenticity and powerThe healing energy of sisterhood, nurturance, and creativity, and how gathering in safe, intentional spaces reminds us that we were never meant to do life aloneWhat it means to live from wholeness instead of chasing it—remembering that your worth isn’t earned through productivity, perfection, or performanceHow to cultivate intentionality and ritual in everyday life by bringing presence, beauty, and creativity into the small, ordinary momentsWhy living an aligned, soul-led life is both mystical and mundane, and how to honor your humanity as deeply as your divinityA gentle reminder that life itself is the occasion—an invitation to slow down, feel deeply, and celebrate the sacredness of being here nowBe sure to hit subscribe so you never miss the latest episode!Connect with Emily:Website: www.EmilyReuschel.comInstagram: @emilyreuschelFacebook: Emily ReuschelLinkedIn: Emily ReuschelJoin my Book Insiders List: Sign up here!Resources and Links:Episode 119 | How to Create...

In this potent conversation, I sit down with Yarrow Kae—a mentor, spiritual guide, healer, and clinically trained therapist who bridges ancient wisdom with modern psychology—to explore what it really means to embody the truth of who you are. Yarrow’s story is nothing short of extraordinary: at 19, she downloaded enlightenment on the dance floor of a rave, setting her on a decades-long journey of integration, nervous system healing, and self-mastery. Her work now blends somatics, depth psychology, energetics, and spirituality to help others shift at a cellular level and live from their unique magnetic vibration.Together, we dive deep into the subtle ways our attachment patterns, shame stories, and identity constructs keep us bound—often in ways that feel “productive” or “good.” From perfectionism and people-pleasing to the spiritual bypassing that hides beneath our self-development work, this conversation unveils the unconscious habits that keep us safe but small. Yarrow shares how nervous system regulation and secure attachment create the foundation for true embodiment—and how the willingness to be radically honest with ourselves is the real portal to freedom.If you’ve been craving deeper self-trust, or if you’re ready to stop performing the “healed” version of yourself and start living as the embodied one—this episode will speak straight to your soul. You’ll walk away feeling both challenged and seen, with new language for your own evolution and practical wisdom to anchor your healing in your body.In this episode, we explore:How attachment wounds subtly shape your nervous system, identity, and relationshipsThe link between shame, anxiety, and perfectionism—and how these patterns keep us stuck in controlWhy even “productive” habits like personal growth or cleaning can become addictions rooted in shame or avoidanceThe importance of nervous system safety in receiving love, abundance, and regulationHow to identify the hidden ways you sacrifice authenticity for attachmentWhat it really means to worship at the altar of you—and how self-devotion becomes the ultimate act of sovereigntyThe power of radical honesty and self-compassion in releasing control and embodying freedomHow to alchemize rage, grief, and shame into embodied truthWhat happens when you finally allow yourself to be seen, safe, and free—on your own termsBe sure to hit subscribe so you never miss the latest episode!Connect with Yarrow Kae:Instagram: @yarrowkaeYouTube: Yarrow Kae AcademyThe Composer: heal-with-yarrow.teachable.com/p/the-composerThe Portal: heal-with-yarrow.teachable.com/p/the-portalConnect with Emily:Website: www.EmilyReuschel.comInstagram: @emilyreuschelFacebook: Emily ReuschelLinkedIn: Emily ReuschelJoin my Book Insiders List: a...

What happens when you realize the life you worked so hard to build doesn’t actually feel like your own? In this week’s episode of Wild & Waking, I sit down with Kathleen Pitt—The Quantum Psychic—to explore her radical journey from nurse practitioner and mom in Detroit to soul-led mentor, channel, and guide helping women step into their highest alignment.We dive deep into the quantum field—what it is, how it works, and how it allows us to access intuition, future timelines, and miracles beyond our logical mind. Kathleen breaks down how subconscious blocks, old programming, and external validation often hold women back from their true mission, and why listening to your soul’s whispers is the most powerful strategy you’ll ever need.Together, we explore the intersection of manifestation, time, money, and worth, reframing how we think about abundance and how to expand into overflow without the hustle. Kathleen’s perspective is both mystical and practical—rooted in her own lived experience of facing fear, choosing alignment, and witnessing firsthand how the universe rearranges itself in our favor when we honor our soul’s knowing.Whether you’re curious about energy work, craving a deeper connection to your intuition, or simply wondering if you were made for more, this conversation will expand your perspective and ignite what’s possible for you. Tune in for a soul-stirring reminder that your vision already exists, your contracts are already signed, and infinite possibility is available when you’re willing to choose alignment over safety.In this episode, we explore:What the quantum field really is, how it works, and why it holds infinite timelines, possibilities, and intuitive guidanceHow to recognize and dissolve subconscious blocks, limiting beliefs, and inherited conditioning that keep us from alignmentThe relationship between intuition, soul alignment, and manifestation—and how to build trust with your future selfWhy time, money, and abundance are energetic resources that expand when you live in alignment with your soul missionPractical tools and perspectives to tap into your intuition, shift your frequency, and call in miracles without hustle or burnoutHow saying yes to the unknown can activate quantum leaps, expanded purpose, and infinite possibility in every area of lifeBe sure to hit subscribe so you never miss the latest episode!Connect with Kathleen:Website: www.thequantumpsychic.comFree Quantum Leap Training + Light Language Activation: thequantumpsychic.com/quantum-leapInstagram: @thequantumpsychicThreads: @thequantumpsychicConnect with Emily:Website: www.EmilyReuschel.comInstagram: @emilyreuschelFacebook: Emily ReuschelLinkedIn: Emily ReuschelJoin my Book Insiders List: Sign up here!Resources and Links:a...

What if your worth wasn’t tied to how much you produce, how many tasks you complete, or how many boxes you check off the list? In this episode of Wild & Waking, I’m diving into a conversation so many women wrestle with: untangling our value from output and reclaiming the power of presence.For centuries, women’s gifts—our wisdom, intuition, creativity, and nurturing—were considered sacred. Over time, productivity culture and transactional economics taught us that our worth was only as good as what we could measure, produce, or perform. This conditioning still echoes today, especially for entrepreneurs, leaders, and mothers who feel the pressure to constantly prove themselves in order to be “enough.”I’ll share personal stories and coaching insights about what it looks like to be compensated for the intangible: your voice, your energy, your ideas, your leadership. We’ll explore the fears that come with putting your gifts out into the world, the stories we tell ourselves about rejection, and how to shift from “selling yourself” to offering transformation.Most importantly, this episode is about remembering the truth: you are inherently worthy. Your magic doesn’t come from output—it comes from your presence, your wisdom, and your unique way of being in the world. Whether you’re navigating entrepreneurship, career, motherhood, or relationships, this conversation will remind you that the world needs you, not just your productivity.In this episode, I explore:The historical shift that devalued women’s gifts during the agricultural and industrial revolutions—and how that conditioning still affects us today.The fears women face when putting intangible gifts—wisdom, presence, intuition, leadership—into the world.How to reframe selling and compensation as an exchange of energy and transformation, not “selling yourself.”Tangible practices for embodying worth without output, including rest, play, and naming old stories out loud.Why presence, voice, and lived experience often create more transformation than checklists, deliverables, or productivity hacks.How to align pricing, offers, and compensation with your truth—so your business or career feels abundant, soul-led, and sustainable.Be sure to hit subscribe so you never miss the latest episode!Connect with Emily:Website: www.EmilyReuschel.comInstagram: @emilyreuschelFacebook: Emily ReuschelLinkedIn: Emily ReuschelJoin my Book Insiders List: Sign up here!Resources and Links:Episode 156 | Fun Because: How to Recalibrate the Realm of Possibility + Collapse Timelines by Dismantling Hustle and Reclaiming Joy with Kari the Fun CoachThe Coven is a six-month circle for women unraveling old stories, remembering their truth, reclaiming their voice, and rising together. ✨ Exclusive for Wild & Waking listeners: use code WILD for $111 off enrollment

Have you ever wondered what really happens during a Reiki attunement? In this solo episode, I’m sharing my honest, unfiltered experience from my Reiki I & II attunement weekend—a journey that unlocked new layers of magic, healing, creativity, and self-trust that I never could have anticipated.From the moment I arrived, I realized this wasn’t just about learning a modality—it was an invitation into deeper connection with myself. What unfolded included everything from channeling unexpected poetry during meditation, to experiencing profound energetic shifts, to even hearing my baby’s name spoken to me in a way that defies explanation. These moments cracked me open and reminded me of the limitless ways our gifts can come alive when we release control and stay open to possibility.Throughout the weekend, I was confronted with the tender questions we all face on the path of growth: If I show the real me, will I still belong? Am I doing this “right”? What if my way doesn’t look like anyone else’s? Reiki offered me the chance to practice trusting myself in real time—and to discover that the most powerful thing we can do is embrace our unique way of experiencing and expressing energy, creativity, and truth.Whether you’ve been curious about Reiki, felt the call to explore your own intuitive gifts, or simply need encouragement to follow your curiosities into the unknown, this conversation will meet you where you are. My hope is that sharing my story reminds you that you don’t need to have it all figured out—you just need the courage to take the next step and trust that what unlocks will be exactly what you need.If this episode resonates, I’d love to hear from you. Send me a message, share your reflections, or come join us inside the Coven, where conversations like these are the heartbeat of our community.In this episode, I explore:What a Reiki attunement weekend actually is and how Reiki differs from a traditional training or certificationThe powerful ways Reiki I & Reiki II attunement opened new portals of healing, intuition, and energy awarenessMy unexpected experience with automatic writing/scribing poetry during meditation (and why creativity sometimes comes alive in the most surprising ways)The wild moment I heard my baby’s name and energy come through during a Reiki session—and what it taught me about listening, trusting, and letting go of expectationsHow Reiki revealed my natural connection to words, voice, and expression as part of my healing and leadership journeyWhy belonging and self-trust are such tender themes when you’re revealing new parts of yourself—and how Reiki helped me explore themThe role of chakras, energy centers, and intuition in the Reiki process (shared in an accessible, beginner-friendly way)How Reiki reminded me that anyone can access energy healing and that your magic lies in your own way of experiencing itBe sure to hit subscribe so you never miss the latest episode!Connect with Emily:Website: www.EmilyReuschel.comInstagram: @emilyreuschelFacebook: Emily ReuschelLinkedIn: Emily ReuschelJoin my Book Insiders List: Sign up here!Resources and Links:Jada...

Have you ever felt the tension between following the “logical path” you were taught to take and the deeper pull of your intuition? In this episode of Wild & Waking, I sit down with Hay House author and spiritual business coach Liz Roberta to explore how we can break free from burnout, trust our inner wisdom, and build lives and businesses that are truly in tune with our soul. Liz’s book, Living in Tune: 21 Questions to Activate Your Intuition and Find Your Life Purpose, has guided thousands of women back to themselves — and in this conversation, she brings that same clarity, honesty, and encouragement.Together, we dive into the eight clair senses, manifestation, and the power of subconscious reprogramming to unlock your soul gifts. Liz shares her personal story of leaving investment banking and fashion to follow her calling, the symptoms she experienced when she ignored her intuition, and the breakthroughs that came when she finally chose alignment over expectations. She also breaks down the balance between feminine flow and grounded strategy — a crucial combination for women who want to turn their purpose into a sustainable business.If you’ve been craving a conversation that validates your intuitive nudges while giving you real tools for subconscious healing and soul-aligned strategy, this episode is for you. Get ready to feel seen, inspired, and equipped to take your next steps toward living in tune with your purpose.In this episode, we explore:Why intuition is the missing piece in creating a purposeful life and business, and how to recognize the physical and emotional signs that you’re out of alignment.A deep dive into the eight clair senses (clairvoyance, clairsentience, clairaudience, claircognizance, clairempathy, clairtangency, clairgustance, and clairsalience) and how they help you identify your intuitive gifts.The role of manifestation in creating a new reality — including Liz’s process of being, normalizing, and certainty to call in desires with clarity and confidence.How to identify your core values (like freedom, growth, and impact) and use them as a compass for career decisions, entrepreneurship, and relationships.The tension between feminine energetics and masculine strategy — and how to bridge the two to build a sustainable, soul-aligned business.The power of subliminals and subconscious tools — how listening while you sleep can rewire beliefs, shift identity, and open new possibilities without adding more to your to-do list.How to integrate soul, strategy, and subconscious work to unlock your purpose, step into prosperity, and feel truly in tune with your life.Be sure to hit subscribe so you never miss the latest episode!Connect with Liz:Grab a FREE sample of Living in Tune (first 3 chapters)Tune into The Liz Roberta Show on SpotifyDownload Liz’s FREE Wealth Subliminal to begin rewiring your subconsciousOrder Living in Tune and explore 21 transformative questions to activate your intuition and discover your life purposeConnect with Liz on InstagramExplore more on her websiteConnect

Have you ever had a powerful breakthrough — an awakening, an expansion, a deep inner revelation — only to feel frustrated when it doesn’t immediately translate into your daily life? In this solo episode of Wild & Waking, Emily unpacks the truth that integration always lags behind revelation. Growth isn’t instant. Transformation takes time to embody. And the space between knowing and becoming is where much of the real work happens.Emily shares from her own journey of unraveling old narratives, questioning inherited systems, and diving into deeper layers of personal and spiritual growth. She reflects on the tension of living between worlds — one foot in everyday life, board meetings, and school pickup lines, while the other is immersed in awakening, spiritual exploration, and big-picture questions about who we are and how we want to live. This “in-between” can feel isolating, even disorienting, but it’s also where belonging, truth, and deeper self-connection are forged.Together, we explore the messy middle of transformation: the lag between breakthrough moments and lived embodiment, the grief that comes when old relationships no longer align, and the deep human ache to be fully seen and understood. Emily reminds us that feeling “crazy” or “too much” during this process is not a flaw but a hallmark of waking up to yourself. Awakening and integration don’t happen on the same timeline — and that’s okay.If you’re feeling caught between who you’ve always been and who you’re becoming… if you’re hungry for belonging in the midst of your awakening… if you’re realizing that embodying your breakthroughs takes more patience than you thought — this episode will feel like a deep exhale.In this episode, I explore:Why integration lags behind revelation — and what it means when your breakthroughs, awakenings, and expansions take time to embodyThe experience of living between worlds: navigating everyday life while undergoing deep spiritual growth and personal transformationThe grief, disorientation, and isolation that often accompanies spiritual awakening when old relationships or spaces no longer alignThe deep human ache for belonging, being fully seen, and understood while walking the path of growthThe Wild & Waking framework — unraveling, remembering, reclamation, and rise — and how these cyclical phases shape every transformation journeyWhy safe spaces and soul-aligned communities like The Coven are essential for women navigating expansion, awakening, and integrationHow breakthroughs often lead to unexpected challenges — and why these moments become the hallmarks of your growth storyIf this conversation spoke to you, don’t keep it to yourself. Share this episode on your socials or pass it along to a friend who’s navigating her own breakthroughs, awakenings, or seasons of living between worlds. These are the conversations that remind us we’re not alone — and together, we create the belonging we’re all craving.Connect with Emily:Website: www.EmilyReuschel.comInstagram: @emilyreuschelFacebook: Emily ReuschelLinkedIn: Emily ReuschelJoin my Book Insiders List: Sign up...

Jessica’s story of walking through divorce after her husband came out as gay, rebuilding her life, and ultimately creating a beautiful co-parenting dynamic is raw, courageous, and deeply inspiring. Her journey shows us what’s possible when we stop outsourcing our worth, release expectations, and start trusting ourselves again.This conversation is packed with real-life wisdom, practical tools, and soul-level permission to choose yourself. Jessica and I talk about what it looks like to silence other people’s opinions, move beyond shame and judgment, and finally trust the quiet knowing inside you. Whether you’re navigating a major life transition, feeling paralyzed by indecision, or simply craving more confidence in your daily choices, this episode will remind you that you are safe to trust yourself and worthy of a life that feels aligned and expansive.If you’ve ever felt stuck in people-pleasing, terrified of making the “wrong” choice, or burned out from living by everyone else’s expectations, this episode is for you.In this episode, we explore:Jessica’s powerful personal story of navigating divorce, co-parenting, and remarriage—and how she learned to trust herself again after betrayal.The Be Gentle, Be Humble, Be Bold framework for decision-making and how to apply it in everyday life.How to identify the “shoulds” that keep you stuck in people-pleasing, perfectionism, and comparison.The role of micro-decisions (what you wear, what you eat, how you spend your time) in rebuilding self-trust and confidence.Why waiting for external proof keeps women paralyzed in indecision—and how to learn to trust your intuition instead.How to release shame, judgment, and outdated conditioning that disconnect you from your authentic self.The connection between decision-making, self-trust, and living a bold, aligned, and joyful life.Tangible next steps for starting your own “should challenge” to notice, reframe, and release the expectations that no longer serve you.Be sure to hit subscribe so you never miss the latest episode!Connect with Jessica:Instagram: @heyjessicafrewWebsite: www.heyjessicafrew.comOrder the Book: Shove Your Shoulds: Become a Decision-Making Badass to Live the Bold Life You DeserveConnect with Emily:Website: www.EmilyReuschel.comInstagram: @emilyreuschelFacebook: Emily ReuschelLinkedIn: Emily ReuschelJoin my Book Insiders List: Sign up here!Resources and Links:Sign up here to get the inside scoop to my book writing journey!Book me as a speaker for your next...

In this solo episode, I’m continuing the story I began back in Episode 160 — my journey of breaking down, breaking open, and finding breakthrough on the other side. This time, I’m sharing the next chapter: my first-ever Reiki session, the wild and beautiful soul baby messages that came through, and the spiritual affirmations that left me feeling like a completely different person. If you’ve been curious about energy healing, intuitive pregnancy experiences, or spiritual breakthroughs, you’ll find so much resonance in this conversation.I open up about what it felt like to receive Reiki for the very first time — how the practitioner worked with both my energy and the baby’s, and the powerful confirmations that matched everything I’d been hearing from my spirit team. From ancestral wisdom and my matrilineal line, to synchronicities with other intuitive healers I’ve worked with, I share the downloads that helped me see healing as less about one modality and more about following curiosity, trusting the process, and remembering what’s always been within us.In this episode, I explore:My first Reiki session and what it revealed about energy healing, pregnancy, and the body’s innate wisdomThe soul baby messages I received and how they offered guidance, affirmation, and insight during this seasonPowerful spirit team synchronicities that tied together intuitive downloads, ancestral lineage, and conversations with other healersHow energy healing and ancestral remembrance are shaping my path of spiritual growth and self-trustReflections from the Yellowstone ALIGN Retreat, including the impact of somatic breathwork, community connection, and time in natureWhy healing is more than mindset work—and how energy practices, somatic release, and intuitive guidance create deeper transformationThe ongoing process of moving from breakdown to breakthrough, and what it means to lean into trust, expansion, and spiritual awakeningBe sure to hit subscribe so you never miss the latest episode!Connect with Emily:Website: www.EmilyReuschel.comInstagram: @emilyreuschelFacebook: Emily ReuschelLinkedIn: Emily ReuschelJoin my Book Insiders List: Sign up here!Resources and Links:Episode 160 | When the Breakdown Becomes the Breakthrough: What My Body Taught Me About Grief, Energy & TrustEpisode 159 | Soul-Led Living: Intuition, Embodiment & Your Call to Rise in the Collective Awakening with Kelsey AndersonSign up here to get the inside scoop to my book writing journey!Book me as a speaker for your next event - email inquiries to emilyreuschel@gmail.com or schedule a...

This is the initiation into your next becoming.In part two of this sacred series with Katy Stuart, we move from remembering to reclamation. We explore what it means to rise from the rubble of old identities, to hold the sacred responsibility of your truth, and to lead—not from performance or perfection—but from deep spiritual embodiment. If part one unpacked the history of how women’s voices were silenced, this conversation is about what it takes to speak anyway.This episode is a masterclass in sacred feminine leadership: how ancestral trauma and religious conditioning show up in our businesses, how the witch wound plays out through money blocks and self-sabotage, and how to lead in integrity when you’re walking a path that your family, community, or culture may not understand. We talk about nervous system safety, the ripple effect of authenticity, and the courage it takes to lead not just a business, but a soul mission.This episode is for the woman who’s rising through the wreckage. Who is walking her edge. Who knows there’s no going back to who she used to be, but hasn’t fully landed in what’s next. This is for the torchbearers. The cycle-breakers. The ones who are choosing to be seen—not just for themselves, but for every woman who came before and every daughter who will follow.It’s not about becoming someone new.It’s about remembering who you’ve always been—and daring to lead from there.In this episode, we explore:What it means to navigate a death portal—when your old identity dissolves and you haven’t yet stepped into your next becomingHow spiritual awakening, entrepreneurship, motherhood, and personal growth often initiate women into these sacred unravelingsThe connection between the witch wound and visibility—why fear of being seen is often an inherited trauma, not a personal flawThe role of past life regression, ancestral trauma, and energetic clearing in healing the witch woundReleasing religious programming around money, power, and self-expression—and redefining success as a spiritual woman in businessThe difference between performative visibility and embodied leadership—and how to root into your soul truth in your brand, message, and missionHow sacred responsibility shows up in motherhood and entrepreneurship—and what it means to lead with integrity while being fully humanThe sacred work of reclaiming sovereignty, creating spiritual safety, and leading from your own remembranceBe sure to hit subscribe so you never miss the latest episode!Connect with Katy:Instagram → @thekatystuartWebsite → katystuart.comJoin the Oracle Mastermind → katystuart.com/the-oracleStep into The Experience → katystuart.com/the-experienceConnect with Emily:Website: www.EmilyReuschel.comInstagram: @emilyreuschelFacebook: Emily ReuschelLinkedIn: Emily ReuschelJoin my Book Insiders List: Sign up here!Resources and...

What if the very reason you feel stuck, silenced, or afraid to take up space… didn’t start with you? What if the resistance in your body, the self-doubt in your voice, and the fear of being seen are actually ancient echoes of a system built to keep women small?In this first half of a powerful two-part series, I’m joined by my business coach and spiritual mentor Katy Stuart for a conversation that will live in your bones. We explore the forgotten history of the sacred divine feminine—and the systemic erasure that has shaped the way women live, lead, mother, and show up in the world today. From priestess temples and womb-shaped stone altars to the violent silencing of women through witch hunts and religious colonization, we trace the long lineage of how women’s power was intentionally suppressed… and how those wounds are still alive in our nervous systems, families, and leadership.Drawing from the deep well of Katy’s course HER, we illuminate the hidden narratives most of us never learned: the rise of the patriarchal church, the rewriting of spiritual history, the distortion of feminine wisdom, and the roots of the witch wound—both literal and energetic. This isn’t just a historical conversation; it’s an unflinching look at how centuries of systemic spiritual disempowerment still show up in modern-day business, motherhood, and personal identity.Whether you’re spiritual or skeptical, religious or deconstructing, new to this conversation or knee-deep in the remembering, this episode will meet you where you are. It’s for the woman who has always felt like there was more. The one who’s starting to question what she was taught. The one who’s waking up and realizing: I was never broken—I was just disconnected from the truth of who I am.Together, we name the invisible forces that have shaped us for generations—and we begin to unravel the lies. Because when you understand where the fear of being “too much” or “not enough” really comes from, you finally have the power to choose a different path.This episode is the remembering. Part two is the becoming.In this episode, we explore:The systemic erasure of the divine feminine and how it impacts modern women’s voices, visibility, and self-worthThe spiritual lineage of the priestesses, shamans, druids, and oracles—and how their power was intentionally suppressedThe historical rise of patriarchal religion, the dismantling of goddess-centered cultures, and the suppression of feminine powerThe impact of Christian colonization, witch hunts, and the demonization of feminine spiritualityWhy women’s natural connection to the earth, moon cycles, intuition, and womb wisdom was once revered—and how reclaiming it is an act of healingThe psychological and somatic effects of this erasure—including internalized shame, people-pleasing, self-silencing, and fear of spiritual explorationThe difference between matriarchal societies and modern feminism—and how ancient feminine leadership was rooted in reciprocity, reverence, and embodimentBe sure to hit subscribe so you never miss the latest episode!Connect with Katy:Instagram → @thekatystuartWebsite → katystuart.comJoin the Oracle Mastermind → katystuart.com/the-oracleStep into The Experience → katystuart.com/the-experienceConnect with Emily:Website: www.EmilyReuschel.comInstagram: a

What happens when your body completely shuts down—and no one can explain why? In this behind-the-scenes solo episode, Emily invites you into the real, raw, and honestly kind of ridiculous past few weeks of her life. From first-trimester exhaustion and creative burnout to a surprise trip to urgent care where she couldn’t catch her breath, this is one of those “how is this my life right now?” updates… with a whole lot of insight and soul stirred in.This episode is less of a lesson and more of a late-night voice memo to a friend.

She talks about the Celtic “three cauldrons” energy system, the connection between grief and the lungs, the unexpected clarity that came through a spiritual healer, and why she’s (reluctantly) learning to trust the timing of it all.You’ll hear the behind-the-scenes of pushing back launches, juggling family life mid-chaos, coughing through conversations (and diapers—yes, plural), and why she’s feeling more like herself than she has in months.

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.
