This week on The Found Podcast, we're continuing our conversation on one of the most important ingredients for female entrepreneurs and small business owners in 2025: community. And who better to help us dig deeper into this topic than returning guest and true community-building expert, Emily Reuschel?

Emily is a rural wife, mom, and multi-passionate entrepreneur with a heart for growth and connection. From her early career as a teacher and camp counselor to her current work facilitating masterminds and leading in-person retreats, Emily's mission is clear: help women come home to themselves and find belonging with others.

In this episode, we explore the many forms community can take: virtual, in-person, and even niche-based (yes, we even have a moment to ooh and aah over the Empyrean series!). Emily brings her grounded insight, tangible advice, and heartfelt encouragement to the table, reminding us that finding your people starts with intention, energy, and a willingness to be seen.

If you've been craving real connection this year, or wondering where to even begin, this conversation is a must-listen. And be sure to stick around all the way to the end. Emily's final thoughts are a gentle but powerful nudge to take the next step.

In this episode, we cover:

• Emily's journey from educator to community leader

• The value and dynamics of virtual vs. local communities

• How shared passions and niche interests can create unexpected bonds

• The energy and magic that come from intentional gatherings

• Practical tips for finding or creating community that fits you

• How vulnerability leads to deeper connection—online and offline
