Wild & Waking

In today’s episode, I unpack WHY we procrastinate and what to do about it. I get extra vulnerable with you as I share the nitty gritty of my lifelong struggle with procrastination. I share a few things I’ve done over the past year to gain self awareness around why procrastination is my default and tools that have made my life easier and set me up for success. If you tend to push things off until the last minute, I’m sure that you can relate to the embarrassing stories I share and find a trick or two that will be helpful in your own journey.

In this episode, we cover: 

• Uncovering why we procrastinate and the types of things we are most likely to procrastinate doing
• The 5 things that have helped me combat procrastination
• The importance of self-compassion and grace as we grow through this

Today’s conversation with my dear friend, Katrina Klooster, is all about building habits and answering the question “what do you actually want your life to look like?” Katrina Klooster is a life and business mindset coach for new entrepreneurs. She helps women who know they were made for more build the mindset to courageously go after what they really want. Instead of focusing on what everyone else wants them to do or what they think they should do, Katrina helps women do the inner soul searching to find out who they are without their masks, what they really want and what's getting in their way. She then helps them create a personalized plan to create more of what they want. Through this work, Katrina's clients are able to show up as their truest selves and make the massive impact they know they were here to make in their lives and businesses.

In this episode, we cover: 

• The importance of looking inward - instead of outward - to create your habits so they’re supporting your goals and desires
• The power of starting small
• Giving yourself grace and allowing yourself to make mistakes
• Our personal experiences with habit challenges like YouDoYou82

Today is the day…my very first podcast episode! Welcome to Gather in Growth! Creating this show has been a long time coming and I am beyond excited it’s finally here. I recorded this episode the moment I plugged in my new podcast equipment… way too late at night, coming off of being sick, and in my dining room with poor acoustics and all. Part of me wanted to re-record in favor of a perfectly polished first episode, but I ultimately decided that 300 episodes from now I want to look back and smile on where it all began. This episode is as real as it gets. After all, imperfect action is what gets us from where we are to where we’re going and I hope this episode empowers you to do it scared. Thank you for joining me for this crazy journey! 

In this episode, we cover: 

• My story of how I got where I am today and where I want to be 
• The catalyst that helped me launch my health and personal growth journey 
• The rollercoaster of emotions, mental roadblocks, and excuses that stopped me from making this podcast happen sooner

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, and 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 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.
