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.


We dive into the raw, real process of navigating spiritual death portals—the moments in life when everything safe and known begins to unravel, and the woman you’re becoming hasn’t yet fully arrived. Katy shares how these portals have shaped her path as a spiritual entrepreneur, mother, and mentor—and how reclaiming sovereignty and visibility isn’t about being fearless, but about cultivating the safety to be seen in your fullness.


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.


We also get honest about what it means to be a mother doing this work—raising children in environments that might not reflect your values, holding nuance, and being the example of truth in a world that still punishes women for standing in it.


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.


Meet Katy:

Katy is a spiritual business coach, divine feminine mentor, and priestess of sacred strategy. She helps soul-led women scale their businesses with ease, alignment, and deep remembrance of who they truly are. Through a potent blend of intuitive guidance, ancient wisdom, and practical business foundations, Katy’s work activates women into consistent $20k–$100k months—without sacrificing their radiance, rhythm, or magic.


In this episode, Becoming HER: Death Portals, Sovereignty, Sacred Leadership & the Safety to Be Seen, Katy and I explore:

  • What it means to navigate a death portal—when your old identity dissolves and you haven’t yet stepped into your next becoming

  • How spiritual awakening, entrepreneurship, motherhood, and personal growth often initiate women into these sacred unravelings

  • The connection between the witch wound and visibility—why fear of being seen is often an inherited trauma, not a personal flaw

  • Why healing requires creating nervous system safety to be seen, heard, and received in your fullness

  • The role of past life regression, ancestral trauma, and energetic clearing in healing the witch wound

  • Releasing religious programming around money, power, and self-expression—and redefining success as a spiritual woman in business

  • The difference between performative visibility and embodied leadership—and how to root into your soul truth in your brand, message, and mission

  • How sacred responsibility shows up in motherhood and entrepreneurship—and what it means to lead with integrity while being fully human

  • Parenting in conservative communities, navigating duality, and allowing your children space to explore their own path while standing fully in yours

  • Katy’s role as a “death doula for the coaching industry”—and why women need mentors and communities who can hold them in the dark

  • The sacred work of reclaiming sovereignty, creating spiritual safety, and leading from your own remembrance

About Wild & Waking: 

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


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


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


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


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


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


We’ve been waiting for you.
