VeilFall was one of those weekends that leaves you with a camera roll full of beautiful photos and a head full of things you’re still trying to understand. In this solo episode, I’m recapping the retreat Kelsey Anderson and I hosted in the Montana mountains; the ceremonies, sound healing, Finnish sauna, witchy book fair, archetype photo shoot, closing feast, and the moment I apparently danced myself to sleep during ecstatic dance.


One of the threads running through the weekend was how easily we overlook what comes naturally to us. We can assume everyone knows how to make people feel seen, imagine what’s possible, or sense what’s happening beneath the surface. Then we compare our own intuition and gifts to someone else’s and decide theirs are more real. I share how that showed up at VeilFall, and how I’ve been learning to recognize some of my own intuitive experiences for what they might be.


This is a retreat recap and a pep talk about your own power: your magic doesn’t have to look like anyone else’s to count. Sometimes it’s already woven into the things you do without thinking twice. And when women gather with the intention to recognize those gifts—in themselves and each other—it can change how they move through the world long after the retreat ends.


In this episode, You Are the Magic: A Juicy VeilFall Recap + a Pep Talk About Your Own Power, I cover:

  • A behind-the-scenes recap of VeilFall, a women’s retreat in Montana near Glacier National Park

  • What a spiritual retreat for women can include: ceremony, sound healing, cacao chanting, a Finnish sauna, and ecstatic dance

  • Why your natural strengths can be hard to recognize… and how comparing your gifts to someone else’s can make you discount them

  • Intuition and psychic abilities in everyday life, including the experiences we might write off as imagination or “just knowing”

  • Feminine archetypes like the healer, enchantress, huntress, and wisdom keeper—and using an archetype photo shoot to embody a future self

  • The VeilFall witchy book fair, with books and tarot and oracle decks chosen around what participants wanted to explore

  • Women’s circles, shared intention, and collective voice—and why women’s community can help us feel safer claiming our power

  • The lasting impact of identity work, seen in how returning Coven members are showing up with more clarity and authority

Join The Coven:

The Coven is a yearlong circle for women who are questioning inherited beliefs, reclaiming their inner authority, and craving a place where spirituality, critical thought, rage, joy, and meaningful action can exist together. We’ll gather biweekly and move through one full turn of the Wheel of the Year asking hard questions, exploring what we believe, and becoming more fully ourselves in the company of women who deeply understand. We begin in November, and only a few spots remain.

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.
