141 | You Ain’t Doing Sh*t Without Capacity, Audacity & Self-Trust


Listen Later

Success isn’t about the perfect plan or waiting until you “feel ready.” It’s about capacity, audacity, and self-trust—and without them, you’re going to stay stuck, spinning your wheels, and wondering why things aren’t moving forward.

In this solo episode, Emily Reuschel is breaking down the real success formula for bringing your dreams to life—whether you’re starting a business, making a big life pivot, or stepping into a new, aligned version of yourself.

Capacity: You need actual space in your life—mentally, emotionally, and physically—to take action.

Audacity: You have to believe in yourself before anyone else does. Confidence isn’t something you wait for—it’s something you cultivate.

Self-Trust: No strategy in the world will work if your inner dialogue is telling you you’re a failure before you even begin.

This episode is the wake-up call and permission slip you need to start making moves. It’s time to stop waiting, start trusting, and take up the space your dreams deserve.

In this episode, I cover:

  • Why success isn’t just about having the perfect plan—it’s about creating the capacity to execute.
  • What "capacity" actually means (hint: it’s more than just time on your calendar).
  • How to stop adding more to your plate and start making space for what actually matters.
  • The #1 reason why people feel stuck—and why it’s NOT a motivation problem.
  • Audacity: The underrated secret to achieving anything you want.
  • Why self-trust is the ultimate success hack (and how to build it).
  • How your inner dialogue is either your biggest asset or your biggest roadblock.
  • The confidence of a mediocre white man—what we can learn from it and why it’s time to embody that energy.
  • How to stop outsourcing validation and start making decisions for YOURSELF.
  • Why perfectionism and waiting for “readiness” are keeping you stuck.
  • How to take bold, audacious action—even when you’re scared as hell.
  • How to shift from overthinking to actual execution.
