The Remembering is the second chapter in a four-part solo series exploring the Wild & Waking Framework — a cyclical, soul-deep map for personal growth, identity evolution, and embodied leadership. Unlike linear self-help models or rigid step-by-step systems, the Wild & Waking journey is a living spiral. It’s a rhythm you move through again and again, learning to recognize where you are right now and honor that place as sacred.

In this episode, Emily dives into The Remembering — the phase defined by the question, “Who was I before the world told me who to be?” This is the water phase of the journey: fluid, deep, intuitive, and quietly powerful. The Remembering is not about becoming someone new; it’s about coming home. Beneath the layers of obligation, conditioning, expectations, and survival strategies, there is a deeper knowing that has always been there — waiting to be heard. This phase invites you to soften, turn inward, and begin listening to the whispers that have been trying to find you all along.

If you’re in a season of rediscovering your desires, reclaiming your intuition, or gently peeling back the layers of who you thought you had to be, this conversation will meet you exactly where you are — and remind you that you were never lost. You were always remembering.

In this episode, I explore:

1. What it means to remember yourself after years of conditioning, people-pleasing, and self-abandonment
2. How identity evolution often begins after burnout, dissatisfaction, or the sense that your life no longer fits
3. Why remembering can bring grief, anger, or rage alongside relief
4. Reclaiming intuition and body awareness as sacred data rather than something to override, fix, or explain away
5. How nervous system regulation, cycle awareness, and somatic curiosity support self-trust and emotional healing
6. Untangling your sense of worth and identity from productivity, roles, motherhood, leadership, and external validation
7. The subtle ways we curate our lives around safety, approval, and survival instead of truth and desire
8. Practical, grounded practices that support remembering, including journaling, walking, reflection, and intuition-led inquiry
9. Why fulfillment, joy, and embodied confidence begin to emerge when you learn to know, love, and trust yourself
