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.


I also reflect on my time at the Yellowstone ALIGN Retreat, where somatic breathwork, community healing, and connecting with nature brought even more lessons forward. Together, we explored how healing happens through the body, the importance of stepping outside our comfort zones, and the power of gathering in sacred spaces away from the noise of daily life. Being in the mountains reminded me of the innate connection humans have always had with nature, spirit, and one another — a connection many of us are remembering and reclaiming.


This episode is equal parts story, spiritual reflection, and invitation for you to explore your own healing and awakening journey. Whether you’re navigating your own breakdown-to-breakthrough season, curious about Reiki, spirit messages, or soul baby wisdom, or drawn to practices like somatic breathwork, ancestral remembrance, and community connection, I hope this conversation encourages you to trust your intuition, lean into curiosity, and embrace what feels aligned for you.

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.
