In this powerful and multi-dimensional conversation, Emily sits down with intuitive healer, medium, and spiritual mentor, Nicolle Merrilyne, to explore the deeper layers of spiritual awakening, energy work, and feminine reclamation. Nicolle shares the origins of her intuitive gifts, the mediumship opening that transformed her life, and the profound initiations that led her into the work of shadow integration, embodiment, and spiritual depth. Together, they discuss the collective shift from surface-level “love and light” spirituality into a more grounded, embodied era of shadow work, emotional healing, and wild woman awakening.
Emily and Nicolle dig into the difference between mindset-level self-development and the deeper inner work required to truly evolve—grief, rage, ancestral patterns, past-life wounds, and the unconscious narratives that shape our choices. Nicolle explains the astrological landscape of this moment, including Pluto’s move from Capricorn into Aquarius, and how this transition mirrors the dismantling of outdated structures, the rise of feminine wisdom, and the increasing desire for authenticity, soul alignment, and personal sovereignty.
The episode takes a fascinating turn into the world of energetic home cleansing, spiritual hygiene, and energetic protection practices. Nicolle breaks down the foundations of maintaining a clear energetic environment—how to cleanse your home, how energy accumulates in physical spaces, how to ground and protect yourself, and why certain rooms hold more emotional imprint than others. Emily and Nicolle unpack the powerful house-clearing session they did together, including the intuitive messages that came through, the repeated water incidents in Emily’s home, and the connection between home energetics, emotional patterns, and the completion of old cycles.
They close by exploring Nicolle’s current season of transformation—moving overseas, navigating unexpected health challenges, slowing down, retiring long-standing programs, and listening closely for the next evolution of her spiritual work. Her story offers an honest and vulnerable look at what it means to honor your intuition, release what no longer aligns, and trust the deeper phases of rebirth, identity shifts, and soul-led expansion.
This episode is an invitation to explore the unseen layers of your life; your energy, your home, your lineage, your body, and the truths rising within you. If you’re craving deeper self-awareness, a more grounded spiritual practice, or a clearer understanding of your own awakening, this conversation offers guidance, validation, and a willingness to go where transformation actually happens.

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.
