In this special reverse interview episode, the tables turn as Emily Reuschel, host of the Wild & Waking podcast, sits in the guest seat for a powerful conversation with Master Life Coach and Internal Family Systems practitioner, Andrea Tessier. Together, they explore the deeper forces shaping women’s leadership today; from the rise of self-trust and inner authority to the collective awakening many women are experiencing in a rapidly changing world.


Andrea’s work centers on a question that many high-achieving women quietly wrestle with: why do capable, intelligent women still second-guess themselves? In this conversation, Emily and Andrea unpack the deeper architecture behind self-doubt, imposter syndrome, and people-pleasing, exploring how cultural expectations, good-girl conditioning, and inherited belief systems have shaped the way women relate to their own power. Through the lens of self-leadership, personal transformation, and nervous system awareness, they discuss what it really means to rebuild trust with yourself.


Emily also shares her own journey into this work, how experiences with burnout, identity shifts, and profound personal transformation led her to create the Wild & Waking framework and guide women through their own awakenings. Together, Emily and Andrea discuss the concept of sacred rage, not as something destructive, but as a powerful signal that something deeper is calling for change. When channeled consciously, that energy can become a catalyst for authentic leadership, community building, and collective change.


This episode explores what it means to live and lead during a time of collective awakening, when many women are questioning the systems, expectations, and narratives they were raised within. Emily and Andrea reflect on the powerful moment we are living through, and how self-trust, inner authority, and women stepping into leadership may be some of the most important forces shaping what comes next.


If you’ve ever felt the tension between who you were taught to be and who you’re becoming, this conversation offers both validation and perspective. It’s an honest, thoughtful exploration of women’s leadership, personal awakening, sacred rage, and the courage required to trust yourself in a changing world.


Meet Andrea:

Andrea Tessier is a Master Life Coach and Internal Family Systems Practitioner who helps ambitious, high-achieving women stop second-guessing themselves and start leading from deep self-trust.


After years studying psychology, education, and human behavior, Andrea became fascinated with a question that most personal development overlooks: Why do capable people still hesitate when it matters most?


Her work explores the inner architecture behind our decisions; the protective patterns, parts, and unconscious beliefs that quietly shape how we lead, love, and build our lives.

Through her coaching, writing, and teachings on Self-Leadership, Andrea helps visionary women reconnect with their inner authority so they can make bold, aligned decisions without abandoning themselves along the way.


Her work blends psychology, spirituality, and practical leadership, helping people move from self-doubt to unshakable self-trust.


In this episode, Emily Gets Interviewed: Sacred Rage, Self-Trust & Leadership in the Collective Awakening, we cover:

  • Why so many brilliant, capable women still struggle with self-doubt, imposter syndrome, and second-guessing themselves—even when they are deeply qualified and impact-driven.

  • The deeper roots of good girl conditioning, people-pleasing, and perfectionism, and how cultural expectations shape the way women disconnect from their own intuition and inner authority.

  • What self-trust really means—and why it is one of the most important leadership skills women can cultivate in times of uncertainty and change.

  • The role of Internal Family Systems (IFS), parts work, and emotional awareness in understanding the protective patterns that influence how we lead, love, and make decisions.

  • Emily’s personal journey through burnout, identity shifts, and deep personal transformation, and how those experiences shaped the creation of the Wild & Waking framework.

  • How sacred rage can act as a powerful signal that something deeper is asking to be seen, challenged, or transformed.

  • Why learning to feel, process, and channel difficult emotions can become a catalyst for personal growth, self-leadership, and authentic expression.

  • The concept of a collective awakening, and why so many women are currently questioning the systems, narratives, and expectations they were raised within.

  • How women can move from self-doubt to inner authority, using their lived experiences as fuel for meaningful leadership and impact.

  • What it means to lead during a time of collective change, and how women coming home to themselves may be one of the most powerful forces shaping the future of our communities and culture.

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.
