What does it really mean to come home to yourself?

In this powerful conversation, I’m joined by Emily Reuschel, Soul Expansion Coach and host of the Wild & Waking Podcast, to explore the messy, beautiful, and deeply transformational journey of identity evolution. We talk about what happens when the life you built on paper looks “good,” but something inside you knows there’s more.

Emily shares how her own path moved from habits, goals, and productivity into the deeper work of reclaiming identity, rebuilding self-trust, and stepping into embodied leadership. Together, we unpack why personal growth can feel like labor, how women get disconnected from themselves through conditioning and roles, and why true transformation asks us to sit in the discomfort instead of rushing to fix it.

This episode is for the woman who is tired of shape-shifting, performing, and chasing approval, and ready to reconnect with her truth, her voice, and the version of herself that feels most alive.

If you’ve been craving more self-trust, personal growth, identity work, women’s empowerment, embodied leadership, and a deeper sense of purpose, this conversation will meet you right where you are.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

• Why identity work goes deeper than habits, routines, and goal-setting
• What it means to “come home to yourself”
• How conditioning, expectations, and inherited narratives shape who we become
• Why transformation can feel like labor, grief, and rebirth all at once
• The connection between self-trust, intuition, and embodied leadership
• How your healing and growth create a ripple effect in your family and community
• Why women often tie their worth to achievement, caregiving, and approval
• A simple journaling practice to help you begin your own identity evolution journey
