In this powerful and multi-dimensional conversation, Emily sits down with intuitive healer, medium, and spiritual mentor, Nicolle Merrilyne, to explore the deeper layers of spiritual awakening, energy work, and feminine reclamation. Nicolle shares the origins of her intuitive gifts, the mediumship opening that transformed her life, and the profound initiations that led her into the work of shadow integration, embodiment, and spiritual depth. Together, they discuss the collective shift from surface-level “love and light” spirituality into a more grounded, embodied era of shadow work, emotional healing, and wild woman awakening.

Emily and Nicolle dig into the difference between mindset-level self-development and the deeper inner work required to truly evolve—grief, rage, ancestral patterns, past-life wounds, and the unconscious narratives that shape our choices. Nicolle explains the astrological landscape of this moment, including Pluto’s move from Capricorn into Aquarius, and how this transition mirrors the dismantling of outdated structures, the rise of feminine wisdom, and the increasing desire for authenticity, soul alignment, and personal sovereignty.

The episode takes a fascinating turn into the world of energetic home cleansing, spiritual hygiene, and energetic protection practices. Nicolle breaks down the foundations of maintaining a clear energetic environment—how to cleanse your home, how energy accumulates in physical spaces, how to ground and protect yourself, and why certain rooms hold more emotional imprint than others. Emily and Nicolle unpack the powerful house-clearing session they did together, including the intuitive messages that came through, the repeated water incidents in Emily’s home, and the connection between home energetics, emotional patterns, and the completion of old cycles.

This episode is an invitation to explore the unseen layers of your life; your energy, your home, your lineage, your body, and the truths rising within you. If you’re craving deeper self-awareness, a more grounded spiritual practice, or a clearer understanding of your own awakening, this conversation offers guidance, validation, and a willingness to go where transformation actually happens.

In this episode, we explore:

• Nicolle’s spiritual awakening story and how childhood intuition, mediumship, and trauma opened the door to her spiritual gifts
• The collective shift from “love and light” spirituality into deeper shadow work, embodiment, and feminine reclamation
• What shadow work actually looks and feels like in the body, and why it’s foundational to authentic spiritual awakening
• The rise of the wild woman archetype, feminine power, and the deeper layers of feminine energy beyond aesthetics or softness
• Spiritual hygiene practices for grounding, protection, and staying centered during emotionally heightened seasons (including the holidays)
• How energy accumulates in physical spaces and the basics of energetic home cleansing and space clearing
• What happened during Emily & Nicolle’s house-clearing session — energetic imprints, old contracts, stuck energy, and completing cycles
• Practical tools for energetic protection, including grounding cords, shields, smoke cleansing, salt, crystals, and intention-setting
• Why seasonal transitions can intensify emotional patterns and how to use seasonal grounding to navigate overwhelm
• Nicolle’s personal season of rebirth — moving overseas, navigating health challenges, and evolving her business and spiritual offerings

So often we expect transformation to be loud, dramatic, or instantly recognizable. But the truth is that personal evolution rarely happens in one defining moment. In this intimate solo episode, Emily reflects on the quiet, incremental, almost imperceptible shifts that have reshaped her entire inner world over the past year, while her external life has looked almost exactly the same. Through the lens of her own growth, she explores what it really means to evolve slowly, intentionally, and courageously.

Emily shares honest stories from her spiritual awakening, identity work, motherhood journey, and the subtle invitations that nudged her into deeper awareness. From the fear of being seen differently to the unexpected clarity that comes with hindsight, this episode illustrates how small daily choices, micro-yeses, and inner healing compound over time into profound change. It’s a reminder that you don’t need to burn down your life to become a new version of yourself; you simply need to pay attention to the slow burn within.

As Emily revisits who she was just one year ago—hesitant, questioning, unsure if she’d be rejected for exploring new parts of herself—she reflects on how dramatically her relationship with herself has shifted. The values she honors, the risks she takes, the conversations she’s willing to have, the intuition she trusts, the beliefs she has released: they all reveal the power of subtle, sustained personal work. This episode is a love letter to anyone walking their own path of growth, especially when it feels quiet or unseen.

If you’ve ever wondered whether you’re growing fast enough, if you’ve downplayed your progress because your external reality hasn’t changed, or if you’re craving a reflection of how far you’ve come, this conversation will help you see your evolution with clearer eyes. The slow burn of becoming is real, and chances are, you’re already living it, one subtle shift at a time.

In this episode, I explore:

• What personal evolution actually looks like in real time, and why slow growth is often the most sustainable and life-changing
• How subtle inner shifts—mindset work, self-awareness, healing, and nervous system regulation—compound into dramatic long-term transformation
• The difference between external change and internal identity shifts, and why your outer life may look the same even as you become a completely different woman
• How to recognize your growth by measuring backward instead of forward, and the surprising clarity that comes from reflection
• The role of spiritual awakening, intuitive development, and softening into self-trust in shaping your entire reality
• How micro-choices, daily habits, and small acts of courage create massive inner expansion over months and years
• The fears, resistance, and self-doubt that often accompany identity evolution, especially for women navigating motherhood, rural life, or community expectations
• Why subtle transformation is easy to miss in the moment and how to honor the deeper, quieter work you’ve been doing beneath the surface
• The power of curiosity, intentionality, and aligned decision-making in rewriting your beliefs and reclaiming your authentic self

What if your desire isn’t dangerous, but divine?

In this deeply transformative episode, Emily sits down with Dr. Kimberly Rose Pendleton, an intimacy coach, scholar, and founder of UNCOVER, to explore what it means to heal from purity culture and reclaim your body, your voice, and your power. Together, they unravel centuries of conditioning that taught women to equate goodness with obedience and holiness with self-denial, and invite listeners into a radical reframe: that pleasure is sacred, not selfish.

Kimberly shares her personal story of deconstructing evangelical beliefs, walking away from a marriage that no longer fit, and rediscovering her aliveness through the practice of pleasure. Rooted in her academic background at Yale and her years of coaching women around the world, she blends intellect and embodiment in a way that feels both revolutionary and deeply human. From the theology of Mary Magdalene to the lived reality of womanhood today, she illuminates how pleasure becomes a path back to the divine, and how reclaiming it is one of the most powerful ways women can heal from religious trauma, shame, and repression.

Emily and Kimberly dive into the hidden history of Mary Magdalene, a wealthy, powerful spiritual leader erased and rewritten as a sinner by the early Church, and what her true story reveals about the fear of feminine wisdom. They explore how purity culture and patriarchy sought to silence women’s voices, sexual expression, and intuition, and why remembering the Magdalene lineage is an act of both spiritual and societal revolution.

Whether you grew up in the church or simply absorbed the cultural messaging that your worth depends on being “good,” this conversation is an invitation to return to yourself. To soften the shame, to listen to your body, and to remember that your joy, your sensuality, and your truth are not something to hide, they’re the very portals to your power, purpose, and divine connection.

In this episode, we explore:

• How purity culture continues to shape women’s bodies, relationships, and sense of worth, even outside organized religion
• Why pleasure is sacred, not selfish, and how reconnecting with it helps women return to their power
• The connection between pleasure, spirituality, and embodiment, and why they were never meant to be separate
• The hidden truth about Mary Magdalene, her role as a wealthy priestess, spiritual leader, and symbol of feminine wisdom erased by patriarchy
• What the Gospel of Mary reveals about women’s direct access to the divine, and why her story was rewritten by the early Church
• How patriarchy and purity culture weaponized holiness, shame, and obedience to control women’s bodies and voices
• Practical ways to begin reclaiming pleasure and power in everyday life, through beauty, embodiment, and self-trust
• The ripple effect of women in their pleasure, how wholeness, joy, and desire create collective healing and transformation

What if you stopped dreading the darker months and started seeing them as sacred? In this episode, Emily invites you to embrace the descent into the dark half of the year, a season of rest, reflection, and deep inner renewal. Drawing from ancestral wisdom, cyclical living, and her own evolution, she explores how “wintering” isn’t just about enduring the cold, but remembering that rest itself is holy work.

Emily shares how nature’s rhythm mirrors our own: trees release what no longer serves them, seeds rest underground, and the soil restores its nutrients, all in preparation for new life. Through these ancient patterns, we’re reminded that nothing in nature blooms all year long, and we’re not meant to either.

This is an invitation to slow down, to release the pressure for constant productivity, and to reconnect with what your body and spirit truly need in this season. From cozy rituals and nourishing rest to the invigorating clarity of cold air on your face, Emily offers tangible ways to lean into winter’s wisdom, even if you’re someone who craves sunshine and green.

Because on the other side of the darkness, there’s always a rebirth. Every spring you’ve ever witnessed began here, in the quiet, the cold, and the unseen. You are allowed to rest. You are allowed to not bloom. You are allowed to become.

In this episode, I explore:

• The power of wintering and cyclical living, how ancient and ancestral wisdom teaches us to honor nature’s rhythms, slow down, and find meaning in the darker months.
• Why nothing in nature blooms all year long, and how to apply that truth to your own life, leadership, and wellbeing.
• The invitation to rest, reflect, and restore, releasing the pressure for constant productivity and embracing deep rest as sacred, not lazy.
• The physical and emotional benefits of cold and stillness, from supporting your circadian rhythm and mental clarity to the invigorating healing power of cold air on your face.
• Practical ways to lean into winter’s wisdom, cozy rituals, slow living practices, journaling prompts, and simple ways to bring warmth, connection, and intention into this season.
• Embracing both light and dark within yourself, integrating the yin and yang of your inner world, finding wholeness through acceptance, and trusting that the pause is preparation for what’s next.

What happens when your personal evolution begins to stretch the space between you and your partner? In this deeply honest and compassionate conversation, Emily sits down with feminist marriage coach Maggie Reyes to explore what she calls The Growth Gap, the tension that arises when one partner is actively growing, healing, or awakening, while the other clings to what feels safe, familiar, or expected.

Together, they unpack how to navigate seasons of self-discovery, faith shifts, and identity work without losing connection or abandoning yourself. Maggie introduces her signature “Power of One” philosophy, rooted in systems theory, which teaches that when one person in a relationship changes, the entire dynamic begins to shift. Through humor, real-life stories, and grounded examples, she offers practical tools for honoring your transformation while creating deeper intimacy, even when your partner isn’t “doing the work.”

They discuss what it means to “go first,” how to recognize the difference between fear and disrespect, and how to communicate your growth in ways that invite curiosity instead of defensiveness. Maggie also shares powerful re-frames around resentment, compassion, and the myth that both partners must grow at the same pace or in the same way.

Whether you’re deconstructing long-held beliefs, exploring new layers of yourself, or simply feeling the growing pains of change within your relationship, this conversation is a breath of relief and a roadmap for love that expands instead of contracts.

In this episode, we explore:

• What The Growth Gap is and why it happens when one partner evolves and the other resists change
• How to honor your personal growth without abandoning your relationship or yourself
• Maggie’s “Power of One” framework and how one person’s transformation can shift the entire relationship
• The myth that partners must grow at the same pace (and what actually sustains long-term connection)
• How to communicate your insights and new awareness without triggering defensiveness
• The difference between fear, indifference, and contempt, and how to know which you’re facing
• What to do when your growth brings up tension around faith, identity, or worldview differences
• The mindset of “I go first” and why it’s key for creating healthy change
• Why curiosity, consent, and compassion are essential for meaningful conversations
• How to know when growth differences are workable, and when they signal deeper misalignment

Life is tender and messy and miraculous all at once. In this solo episode, Emily invites you into a reflection on the beautiful, brutal art of holding it all—the grief and the gratitude, the darkness and the light, the exhaustion and the quiet magic of simply being alive.

Fresh off a transformative retreat and deep in the waves of pregnancy, she opens up about what it means to sit in discomfort without needing to fix it, to honor both the shadows and the blessings, and to find holiness in the wholeness of being human. This is an episode about slowing down enough to feel it all—to remember that life itself is the occasion, not something to earn once everything feels perfect.

Emily explores the tension between what’s hard and what’s holy, sharing personal stories of grief, rage, beauty, and creativity. She reflects on the conditioning that teaches women to smile through pain, the ways we hide behind optimism, and the freedom that comes when we finally allow ourselves to be seen in every shade of our truth.

This conversation is an offering—a reminder that your presence, your essence, and your being are enough. You don’t have to rush through this season or mask the hard parts. You get to hold the darkness, create the magic, and call it all sacred.

In this episode, I explore:

• The beautiful and brutal truth of being fully alive — learning to hold both joy and grief, light and shadow, beauty and chaos as sacred parts of the human experience
• The power of sitting in discomfort without bypassing it, fixing it, or rushing it, and how this practice deepens emotional intelligence, presence, and embodiment
• How pregnancy, physical limitations, and seasons of surrender can become portals for personal growth, compassion, and feminine wisdom
• The conditioning that teaches women to “be fine,” to smile through pain, and to disconnect from their truth, and how to reclaim your wholeness by allowing yourself to feel it all
• The sacred work of shadow integration and self-trust—how to hold rage, grief, and sadness without shame and see them as gateways to authenticity and power
• The healing energy of sisterhood, nurturance, and creativity, and how gathering in safe, intentional spaces reminds us that we were never meant to do life alone
• What it means to live from wholeness instead of chasing it—remembering that your worth isn’t earned through productivity, perfection, or performance
• How to cultivate intentionality and ritual in everyday life by bringing presence, beauty, and creativity into the small, ordinary moments
• Why living an aligned, soul-led life is both mystical and mundane, and how to honor your humanity as deeply as your divinity
• A gentle reminder that life itself is the occasion—an invitation to slow down, feel deeply, and celebrate the sacredness of being here now

In this potent conversation, I sit down with Yarrow Kae—a mentor, spiritual guide, healer, and clinically trained therapist who bridges ancient wisdom with modern psychology—to explore what it really means to embody the truth of who you are. Yarrow’s story is nothing short of extraordinary: at 19, she downloaded enlightenment on the dance floor of a rave, setting her on a decades-long journey of integration, nervous system healing, and self-mastery. Her work now blends somatics, depth psychology, energetics, and spirituality to help others shift at a cellular level and live from their unique magnetic vibration.

Together, we dive deep into the subtle ways our attachment patterns, shame stories, and identity constructs keep us bound—often in ways that feel “productive” or “good.” From perfectionism and people-pleasing to the spiritual bypassing that hides beneath our self-development work, this conversation unveils the unconscious habits that keep us safe but small. Yarrow shares how nervous system regulation and secure attachment create the foundation for true embodiment—and how the willingness to be radically honest with ourselves is the real portal to freedom.

If you’ve been craving deeper self-trust, or if you’re ready to stop performing the “healed” version of yourself and start living as the embodied one—this episode will speak straight to your soul. You’ll walk away feeling both challenged and seen, with new language for your own evolution and practical wisdom to anchor your healing in your body.

In this episode, we explore:

• How attachment wounds subtly shape your nervous system, identity, and relationships
• The link between shame, anxiety, and perfectionism—and how these patterns keep us stuck in control
• Why even “productive” habits like personal growth or cleaning can become addictions rooted in shame or avoidance
• The importance of nervous system safety in receiving love, abundance, and regulation
• How to identify the hidden ways you sacrifice authenticity for attachment
• What it really means to worship at the altar of you—and how self-devotion becomes the ultimate act of sovereignty
• The power of radical honesty and self-compassion in releasing control and embodying freedom
• How to alchemize rage, grief, and shame into embodied truth
• What happens when you finally allow yourself to be seen, safe, and free—on your own terms

What happens when you realize the life you worked so hard to build doesn’t actually feel like your own? In this week’s episode of Wild & Waking, I sit down with Kathleen Pitt—The Quantum Psychic—to explore her radical journey from nurse practitioner and mom in Detroit to soul-led mentor, channel, and guide helping women step into their highest alignment.

We dive deep into the quantum field—what it is, how it works, and how it allows us to access intuition, future timelines, and miracles beyond our logical mind. Kathleen breaks down how subconscious blocks, old programming, and external validation often hold women back from their true mission, and why listening to your soul’s whispers is the most powerful strategy you’ll ever need.

Together, we explore the intersection of manifestation, time, money, and worth, reframing how we think about abundance and how to expand into overflow without the hustle. Kathleen’s perspective is both mystical and practical—rooted in her own lived experience of facing fear, choosing alignment, and witnessing firsthand how the universe rearranges itself in our favor when we honor our soul’s knowing.

Whether you’re curious about energy work, craving a deeper connection to your intuition, or simply wondering if you were made for more, this conversation will expand your perspective and ignite what’s possible for you. Tune in for a soul-stirring reminder that your vision already exists, your contracts are already signed, and infinite possibility is available when you’re willing to choose alignment over safety.

In this episode, we explore:

• What the quantum field really is, how it works, and why it holds infinite timelines, possibilities, and intuitive guidance
• How to recognize and dissolve subconscious blocks, limiting beliefs, and inherited conditioning that keep us from alignment
• The relationship between intuition, soul alignment, and manifestation—and how to build trust with your future self
• Why time, money, and abundance are energetic resources that expand when you live in alignment with your soul mission
• Practical tools and perspectives to tap into your intuition, shift your frequency, and call in miracles without hustle or burnout
• How saying yes to the unknown can activate quantum leaps, expanded purpose, and infinite possibility in every area of life

What if your worth wasn’t tied to how much you produce, how many tasks you complete, or how many boxes you check off the list? In this episode of Wild & Waking, I’m diving into a conversation so many women wrestle with: untangling our value from output and reclaiming the power of presence.

For centuries, women’s gifts—our wisdom, intuition, creativity, and nurturing—were considered sacred. Over time, productivity culture and transactional economics taught us that our worth was only as good as what we could measure, produce, or perform. This conditioning still echoes today, especially for entrepreneurs, leaders, and mothers who feel the pressure to constantly prove themselves in order to be “enough.”

I’ll share personal stories and coaching insights about what it looks like to be compensated for the intangible: your voice, your energy, your ideas, your leadership. We’ll explore the fears that come with putting your gifts out into the world, the stories we tell ourselves about rejection, and how to shift from “selling yourself” to offering transformation.

Most importantly, this episode is about remembering the truth: you are inherently worthy. Your magic doesn’t come from output—it comes from your presence, your wisdom, and your unique way of being in the world. Whether you’re navigating entrepreneurship, career, motherhood, or relationships, this conversation will remind you that the world needs you, not just your productivity.

In this episode, I explore:

• The historical shift that devalued women’s gifts during the agricultural and industrial revolutions—and how that conditioning still affects us today.
• The fears women face when putting intangible gifts—wisdom, presence, intuition, leadership—into the world.
• How to reframe selling and compensation as an exchange of energy and transformation, not “selling yourself.”
• Tangible practices for embodying worth without output, including rest, play, and naming old stories out loud.
• Why presence, voice, and lived experience often create more transformation than checklists, deliverables, or productivity hacks.
• How to align pricing, offers, and compensation with your truth—so your business or career feels abundant, soul-led, and sustainable.

Have you ever wondered what really happens during a Reiki attunement? In this solo episode, I’m sharing my honest, unfiltered experience from my Reiki I & II attunement weekend—a journey that unlocked new layers of magic, healing, creativity, and self-trust that I never could have anticipated.

From the moment I arrived, I realized this wasn’t just about learning a modality—it was an invitation into deeper connection with myself. What unfolded included everything from channeling unexpected poetry during meditation, to experiencing profound energetic shifts, to even hearing my baby’s name spoken to me in a way that defies explanation. These moments cracked me open and reminded me of the limitless ways our gifts can come alive when we release control and stay open to possibility.

Throughout the weekend, I was confronted with the tender questions we all face on the path of growth: If I show the real me, will I still belong? Am I doing this “right”? What if my way doesn’t look like anyone else’s? Reiki offered me the chance to practice trusting myself in real time—and to discover that the most powerful thing we can do is embrace our unique way of experiencing and expressing energy, creativity, and truth.

Whether you’ve been curious about Reiki, felt the call to explore your own intuitive gifts, or simply need encouragement to follow your curiosities into the unknown, this conversation will meet you where you are. My hope is that sharing my story reminds you that you don’t need to have it all figured out—you just need the courage to take the next step and trust that what unlocks will be exactly what you need.

If this episode resonates, I’d love to hear from you. Send me a message, share your reflections, or come join us inside the Coven, where conversations like these are the heartbeat of our community.

In this episode, I explore:

• What a Reiki attunement weekend actually is and how Reiki differs from a traditional training or certification
• The powerful ways Reiki I & Reiki II attunement opened new portals of healing, intuition, and energy awareness
• My unexpected experience with automatic writing/scribing poetry during meditation (and why creativity sometimes comes alive in the most surprising ways)
• The wild moment I heard my baby’s name and energy come through during a Reiki session—and what it taught me about listening, trusting, and letting go of expectations
• How Reiki revealed my natural connection to words, voice, and expression as part of my healing and leadership journey
• Why belonging and self-trust are such tender themes when you’re revealing new parts of yourself—and how Reiki helped me explore them
• The role of chakras, energy centers, and intuition in the Reiki process (shared in an accessible, beginner-friendly way)
• How Reiki reminded me that anyone can access energy healing and that your magic lies in your own way of experiencing it
