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.

This conversation also dives into the Wild & Waking framework — the unraveling, remembering, reclamation, and rise that shape every cycle of growth. Emily shares why honoring these phases matters, how they often overlap in unexpected ways, and why creating safe spaces like The Coven is essential for women navigating this level of expansion.

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, Integration Lags Behind Revelation: Embodying Breakthroughs, Living Between Worlds, and the Desire to Be Fully Seen, Emily covers:

• Why integration lags behind revelation — and what it means when your breakthroughs, awakenings, and expansions take time to embody

• The experience of living between worlds: navigating everyday life while undergoing deep spiritual growth and personal transformation

• The tension between breakthrough moments and lived embodiment — and why clarity doesn’t always equal immediate change

• The grief, disorientation, and isolation that often accompanies spiritual awakening when old relationships or spaces no longer align

• The deep human ache for belonging, being fully seen, and understood while walking the path of growth

• How unraveling old narratives and questioning inherited systems (faith, religion, culture, power, and conditioning) is part of awakening

• The Wild & Waking framework — unraveling, remembering, reclamation, and rise — and how these cyclical phases shape every transformation journey

• Why safe spaces and soul-aligned communities like The Coven are essential for women navigating expansion, awakening, and integration

• The importance of patience, timing, and embodiment in personal growth, rather than rushing to create or share before you’re ready

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.
