120 | Harnessing Your Human Design to Create Your Dream Life and True Alignment and Ease In Your Business with Leah McCloud Oct 31, 2024

In today’s episode, Leah McCloud and I talk about harnessing your Human Design to create your dream life, true alignment, and ease in your business. Human Design is a self-awareness modality that shows you how energy works in your unique body, and how you can use (and optimize) that energy in your life. When you learn your specific Human Design type and discover how to get into alignment and ‘flow’, SO much is possible - especially as an entrepreneur!

Leah dives into the 5 different Human Design types, as well as the 7 types of ‘authority’ pieces that go hand-in-hand with your intuition. Leah and I are both generators, and for me, my intuition comes through as a ‘gut’ feeling (aka sacral authority).

I’m so, so grateful for Leah, and the wealth of knowledge that she is when it comes to Human Design. If you’re ready to harness your Human Design to create your dream life, and find true alignment and ease in your business, this is the episode for you, friend!

In this episode, we cover:

Leah’s whirlwind journey with human design + what has transpired for her over the last 2 years
What human design is + who it can help
Understanding & using our human design effectively as entrepreneurs
The 5 different human design energy types
The ‘authority’ piece of human design + how this works with your intuition
What Leah’s ‘coming home to herself’ has looked like in recent years
How human design has been the vehicle for Leah’s dream life creation + her upcoming book
Slowing down + really embracing the season you’re in

119 | How to Create Safety Within Yourself, Unpack Fear and Imposter Syndrome, and Tap into Your Unlimited Potential with Tracy Litt Oct 24, 2024

I’m honored to be joined by my new friend, Tracy Litt, on the podcast today!

In today’s episode, we talk about how to create safety within yourself, unpack fear and imposter syndrome, and tap into your unlimited potential. Something that every single one of us has been affected by is FEAR. While we may think fear is a negative thing and we need to move away from it completely..that’s actually not true (nor is it possible to do). Fear is lovingly trying to keep us alive! Imposter syndrome (something else I’m sure you know about) tends to show up right along with fear..except it’s a ‘crutch’ that we fall back on all too easily.

Tracy and I also dug deep into emotional addictions, why it’s VITAL that we work to clear the ‘emotional congestion’ from our bodies, how our thoughts and our intuition vary, stepping into ‘feeling our feelings’, and more.

In this episode, we cover:

Tracy’s journey of following the ‘normal’ path society told her to, which ultimately led her to want more, go after her dreams, and help the world in a BIGGER way
Where fear actually comes from + the role imposter syndrome plays
How we create safety instead of simply ‘finding’ it + ways to regulate our nervous system
What the ‘drip process’ is + why it’s our responsibility to change what’s being ‘dripped’
Realizing that you ARE doing ‘enough’ and you’re not ‘screwing up’ your kids
Why it’s vital that we understand our emotional addictions + how we clear emotional ‘congestion’ from the body that’s keeping us ‘stuck’
Key differences between our thoughts & our intuition + why overcoming fear is actually impossible, but not a bad thing
Understanding that emotion is energy in motion + what happens when you become a woman who fully ‘feels her feelings’

118 | Behind the Curtain: Life as a Harvest Mom Oct 17, 2024

In today’s episode, I want to give you a peek ‘behind the curtain’, and show you what life as a harvest mom really looks like. I think most of us would agree that certain seasons in life have us juggling more ‘glass balls’ than usual, which can totally throw our homeostasis off kilter!

If you’re a woman in a tough season right now (whether that’s harvest or something else), I want to urge you to PLEASE ask for help. You’re not a burden, and you can’t do it all! Modern motherhood feels so damn hard, because we were never meant to do all of this alone. We have to create these villages that we crave, and support each other where we can.

I hope this episode encourages you to give yourself grace, embrace progress over perfection, and know that you ARE enough, friend. On the other side of that hustle, survival, and burnout is a life you can be obsessed with - I promise!

In this episode, I cover:

Why it’s okay to take a step back and not have a certain goal be top priority, all the time
Understanding that we ALL experience hard seasons, and admitting that we’re struggling won’t take away from someone else’s situation
Why we so often shove down and ‘pack away’ our emotions & feelings, instead of addressing them right away
The constant praise for independence + realizing you don’t have to do it alone, and you’re actually NOT a burden when you ask for help

117 | Cultivating Confidence, Sucking at Something New, and Taking Brave Action Oct 10, 2024

I’m very grounded in where I am now, but that wasn’t always the case. I know firsthand that this personal growth journey is HARD! We want our personal growth to be perfectly laid out with a set plan in place, but...it doesn’t work like that. Our personal growth and healing doesn’t have a certain ‘end date’; it’s more of a practice of trust and release to have faith in knowing that we ARE on the path that is meant for us, regardless of how long it takes!

In today’s episode, I’m talking about cultivating confidence, sucking at something new, and taking brave action. For me, my definition of success has greatly changed over the last year. As an Enneagram 3, I used to believe success meant chasing and achieving big goals so I would be ‘enough’, and people would love me. But no...it’s doing meaningful work that I truly LOVE, and is actually making a difference in other women’s lives!

In this episode, I cover:

Why your personal growth and healing journey doesn’t have an ‘end date’, and it won’t be laid out ‘perfectly’ either
How my definition of success has dramatically changed in the last year
Understanding that you can’t ‘magically’ create confidence, because it’s cultivated by taking brave, scary action
Realizing that you’re already capable and qualified to start doing that ‘thing’ that you know you’re meant to do
The beauty that awaits you when you come HOME to yourself + fully know, love, and trust yourself

116 | Morning Sun, Entrepreneurship with ADHD, and Burning it Down with Lindsy Trotter Oct 03, 2024

I’m VERY excited to have a special guest, Lindsy Trotter, on the podcast today! Lindsy has become one of my ‘business besties’, and someone I’ve loved getting to work and connect with on a deeper level. Our paths have crossed in multiple ways this year; she joined one of my masterminds + we both joined Suzy Holman’s mastermind, and we have a LOT in common (kind of feels like we have the same brain).

Like so many of us, Lindsy has dealt with perfectionist and overachiever tendencies, and she loved checking ALLLL the boxes. As an ADHD entrepreneur who’s an Enneagram 3, she had accomplished so much already, but was not feeling fulfilled in her business. She was struggling with what to do next, and had multiple signs telling her that something wasn’t ‘right’ in her business, with her health, etc.

Ultimately, she knew she needed to slow down, ‘unplug’ more, and make some drastic changes in her life. Now, Lindsy has a renewed sense of excitement for her business and what’s to come - she’s truly FLOURISHING!

In this episode, we cover:

Lindsy’s journey from teacher to entrepreneur, and the full-on ‘hustle and grind’ mode she was in as she built her business
When you’re misaligned/don’t know what’s next in your business, and feel like ‘burning it down’ is all that’s left to do
Why therapy and ‘feeling your feelings’ isn’t necessarily fun or enjoyable, but is crucial when you’re ready for the next chapter in your life
Lindsy’s upcoming course + what she wishes she better understood her first year in business
How ADHD has impacted Lindsy + how she shows up in business

115 | Part 2: Why You're Disconnected from Your Inner Knowing, How to Know, Love, and Trust Yourself, and Developing Your Intuition Sep 26, 2024

I’m excited to be back with this part 2 episode, all about WHY you’re disconnected from your inner knowing, how to know, love, and trust yourself, and how to deepen your intuition. If for some reason you missed part 1 (linked below), make sure to give that a listen and then come back to this one when you’re done!

In today’s episode, I want to dig more into how to truly listen to your body and your intuition, and really, ways to do that in your everyday life.

In this episode, I cover:

Learning to listen to your body and get curious about your body language
Simple ways you can work toward better understanding and growing your intuition
Why you need to stop overthinking your decisions and really tune into yourself, because you already KNOW what you need to do
The power that comes from embracing your true self, regardless of what anyone else thinks of you
Getting super clear on what you actually need when you’re in a new/different season
How I’ve invested time and money into myself this year + why investing into yourself and taking risks truly comes down to your inner knowing
Giving yourself permission to change and evolve + realizing that you’re NOT a failure if you need to pivot and try something different
How to know when to slow down vs. when to hustle

114 | Part 1: Why You're Disconnected from Your Inner Knowing, How to Know, Love, and Trust Yourself, and Developing Your Intuition Sep 19, 2024

In today’s episode, I want to talk about WHY developing your intuition can be challenging, and really, how to rebuild and reconnect with yourself so it doesn’t stay that way. I’ve talked about this a little bit on the podcast before, but as I’ve continued going deeper on my own journey, I’ve found that coming home to myself and knowing, loving, and trusting myself is such a spiritual experience that transcends consciousness. Intuition isn’t ‘flighty’ like the typical dictionary definition makes it out to be, but rather, a beautiful GIFT!

Tune in for this 2-part episode that will help you uncover why you're disconnected from your inner knowing, how to know, love, and trust yourself, and developing your intuition.

In this episode, I cover:

Why intuition isn’t ‘flighty’, but is actually a deeper, spiritual experience that transcends consciousness and allows you to come home to yourself
Why SO many women struggle with the concept of knowing, loving, and trusting themselves
Being okay with not knowing/having everything figured out and asking questions about God, spirituality, religion, etc.
The very ‘mixed’ messaging we receive regarding health and wellness, motherhood, business, and more
The obsession we have with right versus wrong + actually ‘feeling our feelings’, so our emotions can move through us

113 | Pursuing Yourself, Walking in Alignment, and Balancing Consistency and Flow in Business with Suzy Holman Sep 12, 2024

I’m BEYOND excited to welcome Suzy Holman as today’s podcast guest!

Suzy and I have been connected for quite some time - not only is she a mentor and coach to me (I’m currently in her mastermind), but she’s an all-around special person I’ve been blessed to know. Suzy is a serial seven-figure entrepreneur, business coach, and mother of four; her journey actually started on Instagram as an ‘accidental influencer’. However...she quickly realized this was not the path she wanted to stay on. She wanted a space where she COULD be her authentic self, and once she chose to show up unapologetically in that way, everything exploded in her business and her life (in the best ways possible).

In this episode, we cover:

Understanding that maybe it's all about ‘unbecoming’ everything you weren't meant to be in the first place + the discovery of ‘discovering your gifting’
Surrounding yourself with other women who are pushing through discomfort and chasing their dreams, regardless of their fear(s)
What pursuing alignment really looks and feels like + giving yourself permission to ‘turn the page’ and change, because your life won’t always look the same
Finding your ‘flow’ in business + how the consistency piece tends to plague most business owners and leads to more resistance
The beauty and safety that comes from truly knowing yourself, and the magnificent, ‘juicy’ life that awaits you on the other side
3 steps to take to dive in and discover WHO you really are
Pursuing more peace and love instead of more numbers on a spreadsheet + putting love and time in the right order in your life

112 | The Lost Art of Using Your Brain Box: The Unshakable Calling for Diverse Perspectives, Empathy, and Critical Thinking Sep 05, 2024

In today’s episode, I want to talk about the ‘lost art of using your brain box’, and why the unshakable calling for diverse perspectives, empathy, and critical thinking matters now, more than ever. For me, I’m questioning sooo many things - I feel a bit of a disconnect, because it’s uncomfortable, and I’ve still found myself thinking about other people and their opinions. Maybe you’re feeling similarly, because you’re questioning your thoughts and beliefs that you once had, but...you’re fearful to share, due to how others may react. But you know what? I’m so BEYOND the close-minded bullshit that we’ve been in proximity with for far too long!

I believe our purpose and who we truly are is meant to evolve and grow and change. Every step of our journey will get us closer to where we’re meant to be, and surrounding ourselves with others who are doing things a little differently is a beautiful part of the process! I wish that more people today would be curious, because curiosity creates empathy. We NEED to be willing to learn from others and their diverse perspectives, instead of being so misaligned and disconnected.

In this episode, I cover:

My recent rebrand for my podcast and business + how it’s really allowed me to come home to myself, instead of staying in a specific ‘box’ I never truly fit in
Realizing that your purpose should change, evolve, and grow, because every step of your journey will get you closer to where you’re meant to be
The deep disconnection we have not only from ourselves, but each other and nature
Discovering what empathy looks like when we choose to actually think for ourselves
Breaking free from the ‘cookie cutter, good girl’ mold you’ve felt trapped in, and instead, embracing your beautiful, weird, and multi passionate self

111 | Functional Dentistry, Reclaiming Expectations, and Leveraging Your Spouse’s Career to Build a Six Figure Business with Eliza Clayton Aug 29, 2024

I’m honored to welcome my friend, Eliza Clayton, onto the podcast today!

Eliza has a pretty incredible story of (unexpectedly) turning her husband’s dental career into a booming, six-figure business, using social media, digital products, and more. However...Eliza grew up in a devoutly religious family, and after marrying young and having children, she felt like putting her family and their needs above everyone else is what her contribution ‘should’ be forever. Building a business (or anything of her own, really) was never on her radar. She loved supporting her husband, and she was taught to prioritize his dreams, no matter what.

Eliza has learned some valuable lessons since stepping into business too. What you bring to the table does matter, and just because you don’t feel ‘qualified’ to do something, doesn’t mean you shouldn’t move forward, and take action! The success that this business has brought for Eliza and her family has tremendously impacted not only how she sees herself and her role in her family, but her overall confidence too.

In this episode, we cover:

Eliza’s journey of supporting her husband with his start-up dental practice, to unexpectedly blowing up in the online space & creating a thriving business for her family
The expectations we place on ourselves regarding marriage, having kids, etc. + struggling with not finding fulfillment in what we ‘thought’ would make us happy
What functional dentistry is + what actually causes cavities
Learning to stand on your own two feet and making something your ‘own’ + finding your unique perspective that you can bring to the table
How Eliza’s success has dramatically shaped how she now sees herself, her role in her family, & her confidence + the impact it’s had on her family

110 | Olympic Lessons for Multi-Passionate Moms, Creatives, and Entrepreneurs Aug 22, 2024

I don’t know about you, but for me, this year’s games just felt different..in the best ways possible. So many women were competing, and for the first time ever, there was actually a 50/50 split between men and women! Women’s sports are definitely having their own moment right now, which I’m totally here for. I love the current movement that is women supporting and truly CELEBRATING other women too; I honestly never imagined this would be a reality for my generation, so it is pretty freaking inspirational to see! Since watching the Olympics and consuming the Olympic media in various places, I really wanted to share some of my favorite ‘nuggets’ (aka Olympic lessons) that hopefully you can implement into your own life as well.

In this episode, I cover:

The incredible ‘moment’ that moms are having at the Olympics + how it shows us that we can be awesome moms and still pursue our dreams
Why taking time for and prioritizing your mental and physical health doesn’t make you weak, but stronger and better than ever
How we’re continuing to crush the notion that we must tear each other down in order to have a seat at the table, because there’s actually room for ALL of us
Moving away from unrealistic body standards + knowing that your overall health, appearance, etc. is never a ‘one-size-fits-all’
Why you should totally embrace your unique, multifaceted self, instead of shoving yourself into a box in order to be accepted and worthy
Realizing that you can be multi-passionate, because YOU are your niche, and you can do and explore whatever you’re desiring to
Why showing up as your authentic self ALWAYS wins + understanding that no matter how successful and happy you are, there will still be someone who doesn’t like you

109 | People Pleasing, Unshakable Boundaries, Communicating with Power, and Cultivating Self-Worth with Amy Green Smith Aug 15, 2024

I’m pumped to welcome my new friend, Amy Green Smith, onto the podcast today! I honestly feel she’s like my new best friend - she is SO freaking cool, and offers a very unique perspective on the topic of people pleasing (especially recovering people pleasers - I know there are many of us out there)!

In today’s episode, we cover crucial topics like people pleasing, unshakable boundaries, communicating with power, cultivating self-worth, and more. Boundaries are one of those things that can feel pretty intimidating (to both people enforcing and receiving them), but they are extremely important when it comes to your self-worth and ‘enoughness’. Taking a three-pronged approach (like Amy recommends) can be incredibly beneficial when you’re ready to get serious about your boundaries and actually implement them (the follow through is key here). The world has plenty of badass, intelligent women who are incredibly brilliant, but they tend to doubt themselves, and feel like they don’t have ‘enough’ to offer. Contrary to what society had led us to believe, we ARE allowed to feel however the heck we want to, and we shouldn’t feel ashamed or ‘less than’ for our unique life decisions.

In this episode, we cover:

What boundaries are + why they are incredibly important in regards to your self-worth and ‘enoughness’
Why you should not allow your silence to make you a liar + using Amy’s three-pronged approach for setting boundaries when you need to have those tough conversations
The detrimental impact that comes when you lose yourself and who you’re really meant to be, simply to fit in and please everyone around you
Learning to cultivate your value + genuinely believing that you ARE allowed to feel however you do, regardless of what others think
Taking inventory of who you’re willing/able to have difficult conversations with + practicing kindness and assertiveness when speaking with others
Letting go of societal pressures when it comes to your health & body as you age + continually prioritizing your relationship with your partner

108 | Break Free From Societal Expectations and Embrace Your Authentic Self - LIVE at the Goals with Soul Summit Aug 08, 2024

Friends…I have a very special treat for you today! A few weeks ago, I had the honor of being part of The Goals with Soul Summit, hosted by my friend Kate House of the Live By Design Podcast! Kate is an absolute POWERHOUSE in the personal development space! The entire summit was built around helping high-achieving, goal-oriented women move from stressed and overwhelmed, to focused and making progress towards achieving their goals.

I know there were SO many women from the Gather in Growth community that took part in the summit and had the pleasure of hearing from over 20 thought leaders in the personal development space. I received sooo many messages about my interview, that Kate and I decided to repost it HERE for you to enjoy it too!

In this episode, we cover:

Embracing the evolution of your life and career, instead of feeling like you have to do one thing forever
Giving yourself permission to follow your passion and joy, instead of trying to fit yourself into a certain ‘box’ that society expects of you
Using the prompt ‘wouldn’t it be cool if..’ to help you discover what you really want your life to look like (without any particular boundaries)
Learning to trust and fully connect to your intuition + choosing curiosity, and not being afraid to explore what’s possible for you
Letting go of perfectionism and finding peace and joy in your everyday life
Being okay with finding yourself in the uncomfortable and ‘messy middle’ of your life, because it IS serving a purpose (even if you don’t understand right now)

107 | Two Year Anniversary Special: 5+ Things That I've learned About Personal Growth Since Launch Day Aug 01, 2024

Just 1 year ago I was talking about how my depth of understanding of growth had changed in my first year of podcasting; I honestly didn’t think I had any further to go, but boy, I was wrong! I started this podcast talking about goals, habits, etc., but after having so many life-changing conversations with guests on this show in the last 2 years, I’ve learned it is SO much bigger and deeper than that.

In today’s episode, I want to talk about 5+ things that I’ve learned about personal growth since launch day, and really, where I see Gather in Growth going in the future.

In this episode, I cover:

How Gather in Growth began 2 years ago + the literal life-changing conversations with guests that have continued to change & expand my mindset

106 | Beyond "Like-Minded": Cultivating Curiosity & Comfort with the Unknown Jul 25, 2024

I thought this would be the perfect time to do kind of a ‘catch up’ episode though, and update you on what’s been happening in my life, what’s on my mind, what summer has been like in the Reuschel household, what I am learning and working through in real time, and more. Honestly, my heart is on FIRE for this work I get to do with you, and this big, beautiful world we get to live in.

If you’re all about cultivating curiosity and comfort with the unknown too, buckle up for this episode, friend - it’s going to be a blast!!

In this episode, I cover:

The feeling of not doing ‘enough’ with your kids, family, career, life, etc. (during summer, or anytime really) that we all know too well
Letting go of those unrealistic expectations that you put on yourself, and instead, living life on purpose in whatever season you’re in
Why I’m much more focused on nervous system regulation and tuning into my intuition now
The constant pull I’ve been feeling lately to be outside and spending time in nature
Why I’ve been so excited to bring on a variety of guests with new and unique perspectives and life experiences
Really thinking about who you were before the world taught you to be otherwise, and why you feel like you NEED to change yourself to ‘be’ a certain way
Realizing that you’re already enough, and worthy, and you can fully trust yourself to be who you’re meant to be
What’s next for my podcast, my business, my community and more + embracing my ‘level up’ and the internal healing work that I’m so ready for

105 | Failing Spectacularly, Cycle Curiosity, Embracing Seasons of Life and Entrepreneurship with Brittany MacLeod Jul 18, 2024

In today’s episode, Brittany MacLeod and I discuss failing spectacularly, cycle curiosity, embracing seasons of life and entrepreneurship, and more. Whatever season of life you’re currently in, it’s important to embrace this season, and think about what you actually need. Your goals don’t have an expiration date, and you also don’t have to wait for 20, 30, or 40 years from now to start living the life you actually want to live (contrary to what society will lead you to believe). If you’re ready for more purpose, joy, peace, health, and wealth, ALL of these things (and more) are possible for you to create, right where you are, RIGHT now!

In this episode, we will cover:

Brittany’s multi-passionate entrepreneurial journey + how she navigated the ‘fear of failure’ mindset, anxiety, and more as a business owner
The deep, transformative healing that Brittany experienced away from the small town she grew up in + why it’s okay to leave and immerse yourself somewhere new too
Finding true peace in your unique season of life
Changing the narrative and normalizing the conversation surrounding the menstrual cycle + celebrating the superpower that it truly is for women
Why being super ‘emotional’ and feeling deeply does NOT have to be a negative thing
The current season of ‘survival’ Brittany is living + how awareness has played a much more significant role in her life recently
Not getting caught up in the ‘and then’ mentality, but instead, choosing to find joy and purpose in the everyday life you are already living
Why you actually don’t have to wait 20+ years from now to live the life you want and dream of

104 | Betrayal Trauma, Relationship Boundaries, and Using Parts Work to Heal with Roxanne Kennedy Granata Jul 11, 2024

I’m honored to be joined by my inspiring, powerhouse friend, Roxanne Granata, for today’s episode!

Roxanne is an Empowered Relationships Coach who specializes in healing the nervous system through Internal Family Systems (IFS - also known as Partswork) and Somatics. Her journey began a little over a decade ago when she experienced betrayal trauma with her now ex-husband, and his hidden addiction to pornography. This path was very painful and made her question herself (and even her sanity) along the way. Ultimately, it led her to experience healing that she didn’t know was possible, a newfound purpose and passion, becoming a published author, and even remarriage.

In this episode, we will cover:

Roxanne’s story of discovering her first husband’s addiction + the powerful healing journey and new career that happened for her as a result
Learning to set boundaries and surrender the outcome, no matter how scary or out of control it feels like
Key differences of standard talk therapy vs. EMDR
The power of Partswork (IFS) therapy + what it’s like to actually find and ‘talk’ to a part of you that needs healing
Understanding that having awareness and being very intentional about the ‘work’ you’re doing will positively impact and heal your kids + future generations
Realizing that it’s not about fixing every aspect of your life, but instead, fixing and healing YOU

103 | A Mom's Lesson in Moving Forward with Love Instead of Fear with Lisa Brennan Jul 04, 2024

I am joined by Lisa Brennan, an incredible person who I've known for a very long time, and I've been eager to have her on the podcast for a while now!

In January 2018, Lisa and her family started a new chapter in life, after her youngest child shared she was a transgender woman. While this was unexpected and definitely came with adjustments, the Brennan family found that treasuring someone for who they truly are is magical and sacred - it doesn’t have to be scary, or something to hide.

This was a beautiful conversation, and I hope Lisa’s story encourages you to lead with love, curiosity, and openness, because doing so will only change things for the better!

In this episode, we will cover:

Lisa’s story of navigating a new journey with her transgender daughter + how this eventually led to her writing a book about everything she learned and experienced
How Lisa’s transgender daughter came out to her and her family + the research and resources Lisa started diving into in order to better understand everything
The power of time and community that’s incredibly vital when you’re experiencing moments of isolation, and/or stepping into unfamiliar territory
The beauty that comes from living authentically and doing what’s placed on your heart, and how this gives others permission to do the same
Not being afraid to challenge religious and societal ‘norms’ and proudly embrace who God created you to be
Taking time to look within yourself and being open to important issues around you, even if you don’t think you’re affected by them
Continually learning and evolving, no matter your age or what you *think* you know

102 | Healing to the Depths of Your Soul and Nervous System Regulation with Sara Elise Johnson Jun 27, 2024

Sara and I connected on our recent mastermind retreat, and the knowledge and energy she radiates is undeniably contagious. Sara is a wife, mom, author, and Life Coach; she helps others transform and move forward in their lives, despite the circumstances they are facing. After experiencing her own physical and mental health battles (one of the biggest being told she would never be able to have children), Sara knew she wanted to turn her pain into purpose. She now supports women with their own healing and rejuvenation in a way that allows them to love and accept their true selves on a deep soul level.

In this episode, we cover:

Sara’s life-changing and healing journey with motherhood + why doing mindset work alone is not enough to bring true healing for you
The complete identity crisis that rocked Sara, and how it ultimately led to her writing a book
Why doing real self-care is what’s going to refuel and recharge you
Effective ways to actually ‘overhaul’ your nervous system and promote healing
Learning to be your own best friend as you grow and evolve, instead of looking for approval and validation from others
Modeling the behavior we want our kids to see so they can build emotional intelligence and resilience, and truly experience the world differently

101 | Growing Wealth, Living in Two Worlds, and Showing Up as Your Authentic Self with Sadie Schweers Jun 20, 2024

Sadie and I covered a variety of crucial topics in our conversation, and her incredible heart and passion for what she does really shines through. Whether it’s with your career, motherhood, finances, or leaving a legacy for your loved ones, embracing AND boldly showing up as your authentic self in your community (and life) is necessary. What you bring to the table matters, friend, so make sure you own that, and don’t forget to get support where you need it so you can focus on making those big dreams a reality!

In this episode, we will cover:

The unique trajectory Sadie found herself on during college, and how that ultimately led to her launching a career in the finance space
How Sadie empowers her clients to take control of their finances and cheers them on to achieve the goals they’re striving for
Utilizing an IRA as an entrepreneur + not worrying about ‘starting small’, because your money will compound and continue working for you
Sadie’s beautiful, yet challenging, experience of living in two different ‘worlds’, and how that impacts her in her everyday life
Why we HAVE to continue changing the conversation and making our voices heard regarding the farming/ag world and business
Honoring and respecting both the solid foundation the previous generation has built + the fresh ideas and perspectives the next generation is presenting
Taking ownership and embracing your authentic role in your community + why it’s beneficial to cultivate different types of relationships in different spaces
Boldly owning who you are and what you bring to the table, because what you have to offer IS valuable (and needed)
Understanding that it’s okay to ‘stretch your boundaries’ and relinquish control in certain areas, so you’re able to grow and focus on your dreams

100 | A Chat with My Husband Andrew: Farming, Marriage, Fatherhood, and Growth Jun 13, 2024

Not only are we celebrating the 100th episode of Gather in Growth, but I’m also joined by the love of my life - my husband, Andrew! I polled my IG community for questions they wanted to ask Andrew, and I have plenty of my own topics that we dig into as well, so you better believe this will be fun, and one you do NOT want to miss.

In this episode, we cover:

How Andrew and I met + how our (initial) long distance relationship positively impacted us
Andrew’s change of heart when it came to pursuing farming + navigating challenges that typically come with intergenerational dynamics in farming and ag
Andrew’s expectations with fatherhood + our intentionality with parenting and choosing to do things ‘differently’ from the beginning
The importance of ‘putting yourself in your spouse’s shoes’ to really see what they’re going through in their day to day life
What it was like for Andrew as I began my personal growth journey + what eventually ‘clicked’ for him to pursue it for himself
Why me quitting my job to pursue entrepreneurship was the massive change we absolutely needed in our lives + what this transition was like for our family
The growth, healing, and peace that has resulted for both Andrew and I since starting my business + the significant role therapy has played in the process
Knowing that there will ALWAYS be hard things, but what truly matters is how you choose to work through them together
Understanding that the way you and your partner process things will be different + why a high level of trust with each other is necessary
Building resiliency as you work through roadblocks in entrepreneurship (or anything else in life) + why you’ll never have ’it all’ figured out

099 | Lessons from Lexington: Wins, Challenges, and Ideas from an Impulse Family Trip Jun 06, 2024

This impulse family trip was eye-opening (in the best ways possible), and really brought up SO many things for me. It reminded me to deeply think about how I’m spending time with my loved ones, parenting my kids, treating my body, planning and prioritizing, and even, how I’m showing up in community with others in this world (no matter their ideas or perspectives). I hope there’s a little nugget (or two) that you’re able to take from these lessons and apply to your own life, too!

In this episode, we cover:

The extra frustration and overwhelm that comes with ‘chaos planning’ and simply ‘winging it’ vs. ACTUALLY having a plan and setting yourself up for success
Why you HAVE to be willing to give up what feels ‘easy’ for what you really want
Being more intentional with being outside and spending time in nature this summer
Our recent experience with multiple flat tires on my car + why this was such an important reminder that how we handle stress matters
Consistently modeling behaviors and emotions that positively support our kids + the difficult and triggering work that comes from (re)parenting ourselves in the process
Getting super clear on your priorities + making the time and space to plan for those things so they actually DO happen
Stepping out of your comfort zone and choosing to be in community with other people who have different ideas, perspectives, upbringings, etc.

098 | Faith Expansion, Awakening The Senses, and Alchemy Through Artistry with Stephanie Simmons May 30, 2024

Taking the path to work on yourself and really dig into the hard stuff feels like HELL when you’re in it - it’s far from easy. The soul freedom and liberation that follows though, along with the expansion and acceptance of others is beautiful - it’s all connected, and it all matters. We were created to be in community with others, and we really can learn SO much from other people and their differences. Whether you’re on your own journey of faith expansion, or striving to live a life filled with authenticity, purpose, and peace, I know this episode will inspire you to keep going!

Stephanie Simmons is a light capturer, story weaver, and loves telling tales through cinematography and photography. Stephanie is a witness to healing, a space holder, a creator, and time turner. Combining music with images, she creates films that take you on a journey. Stephanie transports her clients back in time to sacred moments, to assist with integration and bring back precious memories. Her films sprinkle the planet with light and invite others to join the journey of healing and remembering. Stephanie is passionate about using her hands with pure intention to create films that touch the heart, stir emotion, and shine a light on the sacred work of healing.

In this episode, we will cover:

Steph’s story of ‘checking all the boxes’ in her life while growing up, to eventually, deconstructing her faith and fully stepping into her most authentic, beautiful self
Steph’s journey with finding videography + how she ‘flipped the switch’ and experienced a powerful awakening in 2020
Living authentically + the idea of self-confidence vs. self-worth
The significant role Stephanie’s husband has played in her healing journey
What it can look like to slow down and embody a ‘softer’ feminine energy, instead of the fast-paced masculine culture our society runs on
The beautiful expansion and acceptance that comes when we’re not afraid of other people and their differences
Continually pursuing curiosity and honesty within yourself

097 | Knowing Your Own Red Flags May 23, 2024

In today’s episode, I want to talk about the importance of knowing your own red flags - specifically, within your body. Not that long ago when I was working outside of the home, I was burning the candle at both ends and juggling ALL.THE.THINGS. I was trying to be everything for everyone, and at the time, I thought that was completely normal - I had adjusted to that way of living. I’ve put in a LOT of effort to get to a place that doesn’t feel like that anymore, but right now, things just feel sort of..hard. My body (primarily my nervous system) has been letting me know it’s feeling all of the chaos and overwhelm and exhaustion, and these feelings are completely clashing with the alignment and peace that it craves (and is now used to).

In this episode, we cover:

Understanding that the pursuit of growth, healing, and alignment may feel REALLY hard in the moment, but is totally worth it too
The powerful awareness that happens when you feel centered and at peace in your life, but have to choose hard things that directly clash against those feelings
My recent period from hell paired with a launch week that led to even MORE dysregulation for me
Gaining awareness around what alignment actually feels like in your body + finding gratitude for the work you’ve already done to heal and understand yourself better

096 | Ask Better Questions May 16, 2024

The work that I’ve been doing the last few years has pushed me to help others step outside of their comfort zones, challenge expectations, and break through limiting beliefs. I’ve LOVED getting to do this, but I’ve also come to the realization that I’m still holding myself back when it comes to questioning, and going against the norm. Maybe you can relate to this in some way; if you can, I want you to give yourself permission to dream, and do, and simply just approach things in a fresh, and different way.

In this episode, we cover:

Why our society as a whole has lost the ability to think critically, and simply just ‘be’ in conversation with others who have differing beliefs and opinions
Agreeing with others because it feels easier, instead of asking questions and sharing a different perspective in fear of ‘rocking the boat’
Why people are a LOT more similar than we may think + understanding how vital community and connection is for all of us
My recent realization that I’ve been holding myself back from asking better questions, all for the illusion of peace + why I’m no longer doing this going forward

095 | The Adventure Begins! May 09, 2024

My original plan for this episode was to do more of a ‘vlog’ style, because I recently traveled to a retreat I invested in for myself; I thought it would be fun to share what was happening as I was going through everything! I didn’t end up going that route (mainly because my brain kind of felt like mush every night when I planned to record, due to the fun-filled days and super late nights). I felt surprisingly calm going into this retreat experience, because I put little expectations and stress on myself. I chose to go into this with an open mind, and BOY, now that I’m on the other side and back home with my family, I feel like the next evolution of my business is just bubbling inside of me, waiting to come out in entirely new ways!

In this episode, we cover:

The crazy magic that happens when you step outside of your comfort zone and surround yourself with others who are doing big, incredible things
Finding true alignment with your priorities + the deep realization that you’ll never sacrifice what matters most to you again, simply to achieve a certain result
The healing and empowering energy that comes from being in a growth space with others
Why your definition of success doesn’t have to be all of the super sexy, ‘flashy’ stuff
Understanding that money can be an amplifier for GOOD, and it’s not selfish or greedy to desire more financial resources for you and your family
Why growth is something I care SO deeply about + continues to be the underlying theme in my messaging for my podcast, business, and life

094 | Simplify to Amplify with Ashlea Strickler May 02, 2024

Ashlea and I talk more about what it can look like to ‘simplify to amplify’ in all aspects of our life. Growing up in a generation that’s big on ‘quitters don’t win, and winners don’t quit’, we think that chasing (and achieving) the next big thing will FINALLY make us feel like we’re enough, and prove our worth. Unfortunately, this is why soooo many of us are frazzled, overwhelmed, and pretty much drowning in the day to day. Instead of trying to do ALL.THE.THINGS, what if we chose to focus on one specific thing that we were lit up about, and actually made sense in our current season of life?

Ashlea Stricker is a farm wife, mom of 3 boys, and hairstylist living in a rural town in central Iowa. When she’s not chasing her boys or helping out on the farm, you can find her reading her favorite book, or watching Gilmore Girls (with a coffee in hand, and of course, avoiding laundry at all costs). Ashlea is a big dreamer and she loves cheering others on - she is a self-proclaimed cheerleader and your biggest hype girl!

In this episode, we cover:

What Ashlea’s journey of ‘simplifying’ has looked like
Why so many of us are frazzled, overwhelmed, and exhausted all the time
Prioritizing one main thing, instead of thinking you need to be doing #allthethings
Digging deep into the ‘mental weight’ that you’re holding onto regarding expectations and limiting beliefs + how to shift to more empowering thoughts
Showing others that it’s actually okay to QUIT something when it’s just not the best fit for you anymore
Adjusting our level of expectation for the season of life we’re in + letting go of the ‘perfectionism’ tendencies that plague so many of us
Focusing on what you truly want in the season of life you’re in + giving yourself permission to grow and evolve along the way

093 | From Frustration to Function: Seeking Alternative Healthcare to Feel Your Best with Jena Ochsner Apr 25, 2024

Jena Ochsner and I are talking more about pursuing alternative healthcare for your family, and why it’s not a bad thing to ‘go against the grain’ in this way. Jena has healed herself from the inside out. She’s passionate about living a healthier, ‘crunchy’ lifestyle, and she continues advocating for herself and her family. You can find hope for healing, and get to a place of thriving and flourishing in your everyday life!

In this episode we will cover:

Jena’s wild story of dealing with debilitating headaches & migraines for years with no clear answers from western medicine, to eventually finding functional medicine support and reclaiming her health
What MTHFR is + how eliminating folic acid and artificial dyes have greatly impacted Jena’s health
Knowing there are benefits to western medicine (and it IS needed), while also wishing western and functional medicine could work together to truly support people
The ‘golden handcuffs’ that is health insurance + other insurance options that can still work for you and your family
Really evaluating how certain foods and drinks make your body feel (gluten, dairy, alcohol, etc.), and the dramatic perspective shift that comes from doing so
Choosing to invest in your health now, because you’ll either pay for your wellness or pay for your sickness
How living a healthier, ‘crunchy’ lifestyle can still exist with current farming and ag practices

092 | Why It’s SO Hard to Ask for Help (And Why You Should!) Apr 18, 2024

In today’s episode, I want to talk about why it’s SO hard to ask for help, and even more, why you should be doing so. Women (and especially moms) are praised for being helpers, and putting everyone else first, while their needs are constantly pushed on the backburner. I mean...I myself am a thirty-something millennial mom living rural, who also was ingrained with the high-achieving, ‘do it all’ mentality for most of my life. Yeah...you could say it felt pretty unnatural for me to ask for help with my kids, house, etc., at first!

I know it’s SO hard to ask for help, but at the end of the day, YOU are in charge of building a beautiful life that lights you up. Sometimes that means being vulnerable, and allowing your loved ones to support you where you need it, so you can flourish in this life!

In this episode, we cover:

How your micro experiences from childhood shaped you, and what it looks like to bring them into adulthood
Why the communication piece is VITAL in helping you not feel like a burden + finding self-awareness around what you really need
Getting to the place of understanding you can’t (nor do you want) to do it ALL, and being totally okay with that
Effectively tackling the conversation surrounding household division of labor + letting things go, even if they aren’t done ‘exactly’ the way you would do them
Accepting the fact that other people are going to do things differently than you, but it doesn’t have to be a bad thing

091 | Seasons of Change Apr 11, 2024

In today’s episode, I want to talk about seasons of change, and what happens as we continue piling on more duties, goals, responsibilities, etc., to our (already) overflowing plates. Our plates can be abundantly full of things we love and enjoy, but when we continue adding without removing anything, we start to feel exhausted, drained, and ultimately, like we’re not ‘enough’. So many of us fall into the trap of chasing achievement and praise, and we think that if we choose to shift our priorities and give something up along the way, we’ll be deemed a failure. I’m here to tell you that this is NOT the case.

In this episode, we cover:

Taking the time to inventory what’s actually on your ‘plate’, and if it’s something that belongs there (or doesn’t)
Focusing on work that really lights you up and serves you well in your current season
My recent experience with bringing my 5 month old to the Ascend retreat + my realization surrounding the impact and value I still provided for the women there
Getting purposeful about your priorities + honoring your energy during times of chaos and uncertainty
Understanding that you have more power over your reality and your circumstances than you may think

090 | Mindset and Mental Health with Calli Thorne Apr 04, 2024

I’m excited to have my amazing friend, Calli Thorne, as today’s podcast guest! Calli and I are talking all about mindset and mental health, and what the work looks like when you’re truly ready to change your mindset. Changing your mindset is a paradigm shift, and you HAVE to be willing to dig into the thoughts and feelings you’re having on a daily basis, if you want to change your circumstances. We’re also discussing what mental health first aid is, why it’s important that we take time to listen and give people a chance to share how they’re (really) doing, how to start having more conversations about mental health with your loved ones (especially when those deep-rooted, intergenerational stigmas are very present), and more.

In this episode, we will cover:

How you can begin changing your mindset + the work that actually goes into doing so
Where people can begin if they’re ready for therapy, coaching, or any other mental health resources
How to start having more conversations about mental health with those closest to you
Learning to define what a successful, well-rounded life looks like for YOU
The number one thing that affects most people when they struggle and experience life’s challenges
Applauding yourself for what you’re doing + choosing to say ‘no’ to those things that aren’t priorities or bring value to your life

089 | Loss, Healing, and Empowerment with Kaitlin Cox Mar 28, 2024

I’m joined by my wonderful friend, Kaitlin Cox, for today’s episode! Kaitlin and I are talking about loss, healing, and empowerment, and what it looks like to pursue true alignment and purpose. We’re discussing how the power of intentionality and tenacity can support you with no longer fearing failure, leaning into your faith during life’s many ups and downs, not getting ‘bogged down’ with the big picture, Kaitlin’s podcast and her new, upcoming event to inspire and bring more women together in community, and more.

Kaitlin Cox is a multifaceted individual whose life weaves through the landscapes of rural living, the heart of a bustling home, and the creativity of a hairstylist's studio. With a warm heart and a hands-on approach to life, Kaitlin embraces the roles of a farm wife, devoted mother to her energetic boys, passionate hairstylist & educator, and the voice behind her podcast, Emerging as Me.

In this episode, we will cover:

Kaitlin’s journey with her first miscarriage, a confirmed PCOS diagnosis, and eventually, the heartbreaking loss of her second baby
Kaitlin’s feeling of wanting to leave her dream job to pursue something more, and how the Ascend retreat gave her the nudge to actually do so
Making the best decision you can for today, and not getting ‘bogged down’ with the big picture
The strength that comes from true self-awareness
Not getting tangled up in fear and doubt when you’re doing something new and unfamiliar

088 | Power of the Pivot with Kari Jo Kelso Mar 21, 2024

Kari Jo and I are talking all about the power of the pivot, and what it looks like to take riskier pursuits alongside a more ‘safe’ career choice. We’re digging into the importance of gaining clarity and really shifting your perspective when it comes to living your life (without letting other people’s opinions factor into this), how a high achievement-oriented personality can show up for business owners, the whirlwind of emotions that come with going in a completely new direction in business, mindset blocks and limiting beliefs that tend to plague many entrepreneurs, and more.

Kari Jo was born and raised in rural West Central Illinois. She grew up with a passion for agriculture and pursued a doctorate of veterinary medicine (DVM) at Oklahoma State University. Less than a year after graduating, she started a side hustle selling t-shirts online to help pay for plane tickets home. Little did she know that this would grow into (mostly) her full-time job. There have been a few twists and turns through the years, but she still loves practicing 2 days a week, and even owns an event venue downtown in her hometown.

In this episode, we will cover:

Gaining clarity and shifting your perspective of how you truly want to live YOUR life (no matter what anyone else thinks)
What led Kari Jo to recently rebrand and pivot her business + the many mixed emotions that pop up when you’re making big changes in your business
Finding acceptance in knowing that you’re making the best decision and going in the right direction, even when you feel uncertain and uncomfortable
Limiting beliefs and mindset challenges that come with being a small business owner in a small town

087 | Why You Should Commit to An Endurance Challenge Mar 14, 2024

In today’s episode, I want to talk about why you should commit to an endurance challenge. Running is such a beautiful example of how you can show up for yourself, and it’s also a powerful lesson in goal setting. While it’s one thing to say you’re going to run or train for a certain event, it’s an entirely different thing to actually commit, and do the dang thing! When you push past the limits of what you think is possible, it unlocks an entirely new capacity for what IS possible in your life.

In this episode, we cover:

My journey to never feeling confident or coordinated doing any type of athletics, to a place of loving and honoring my body with running and regular movement
Learning to set a goal that you can actually reverse engineer + why running is one of the most powerful lessons in goal setting
The moment I vowed to never pass on the ugly diet culture mentality to my children
Understanding what your priorities are and being okay with asking for help when you need it
Growing the ‘muscles’ of grit and tenacity by doing hard things that you never thought you were capable of, but feel so proud of when you do
The fantastic health benefits that come from running (or any type of endurance challenge)
What my training plan looks like

086 | Wall Art and Intuition Mar 07, 2024

Multiple times throughout my life, I’ve learned HOW important it is to lean into my own intuition, instead of playing by other people’s rulebooks. We all have that gut feeling, and little ‘inner knowing’, but so often, we’re afraid to tune into it (or we’ve forgotten how to). I even experienced this with my most recent Ascend retreat event, and the way I went about planning and marketing for it. While I believe it can be helpful to get other people’s perspectives, in the end, you have to be able to trust that you really DO know what’s best, and what will yield the most fruitful outcome.

In this episode, we cover:

My recent experience with trying to create a fun and unique gym space in our (newly) renovated home, and my realization that came from this
Leaning into your intuition and gut feeling, instead of playing by someone else’s rules and what they think you should do
Opening registration and marketing for my Ascend retreat a year in advance, and the results that came from that
Choosing to do things my own way with my entrepreneurial journey, the decisions I made as a first time mom, etc.

085 | Divine Feminine and Mother Wounds with Jada Dobesh Feb 29, 2024

Jada and I are talking about the divine feminine and mother wounds, and how much masculine versus feminine energy comes into play here. The concept of ‘more’ can be so detrimental, because as women, we are always being told to go and DO more. Even if we are doing all.the.things, we still hear that what we are doing isn’t enough, and this negatively impacts us further. We’re also digging into the very precarious topic of mother wounds, and how this impacts both females and males, and the entire family dynamic. Mother wounds require a LOT of bravery to feel and explore, but it can feel nearly impossible to actually FEEL what is needed. When mother wounds go unnoticed or untreated, the lasting effects can show up completely off-kilter for husbands and wives, feelings of unworthiness become more ingrained in us, and we don’t pay any attention to the beautiful gift that is our intuition.

In this episode, we will cover:

What divine femininity is + masculine vs. feminine energy, and how these traits show up for us in our world
The concept of ‘more’, and changing the way we think what that really means
Where the mother wound actually comes from, and why it’s such a tricky topic
Why we ALL need nurturance + acknowledging how we both did (and didn’t) get nurtured when we needed it, and learning to self-nurture
Really working on your ability to be able to receive, and finding confidence to ASK for what you need from a trusted person
How males are affected by mother and parental wounds
The off-kilter dynamic between husbands and wives that often shows up in marriages
What you can do to start shifting and improving yourself and your marriage
Why self worth is such an ENORMOUS piece of the puzzle + how it shows up in our bodies
The detrimental effects that can happen when we lose/don’t tap into our intuition as women
Jada’s role in starting very uncomfortable and also deeply important conversations with women, and the world
Being intentional about loving life in this moment, instead of trying to improve and do more

084 | Understanding and Embracing Your Cycle with Jada Dobesh Feb 22, 2024

I’m excited to be joined by my friend, Jada Dobesh, on the podcast today! Jada and I connected in fall 2023, and we both share a passion for educating and inspiring women (especially in rural communities). We want to help women deeply understand and know themselves completely, so they actually can grow, heal, and thrive for years to come! In today's episode, Jada and I are talking about understanding and embracing your cycle, and what each phase of your cycle entails.

Jada Dobesh is a Spiritual Healing Facilitator and the creator of Selah Space, a holistic wellness co-op in Sioux Falls. In her work, Jada offers her clients the space and the practices to heal their spirituality, sexuality and self-worth. Jada intentionally honors her client’s spiritual, physical, mental, and emotional well-being in her practice. Jada is delighted to share about the wisdom of the feminine body and its 5th vital sign, the menstrual cycle; womb energy and women’s reproductive health; generational wounds and the healing of mother wounds in women who are “technically fine.” When she’s not cultivating healing within the walls of Selah Space, a place for members and practitioners to come together in one space to help one another become well, Jada is mama to Audrey, age 5 and Marek, age 3, and wife to Witt. Jada’s education includes Bachelor of Arts degrees in Clinical Psychology and Theology/Youth Ministry and graduate degrees in Christian Leadership and Spiritual Direction. She is also certified in Master Level Reiki Healing and Brainspotting.

In this episode, we will cover:

Really understanding yourself and your cycle + the 4 phases in detail
Healthy ways to ‘feel’ your feelings, and release them effectively
Why your body’s symptoms are its way of communicating with you
Rewriting the narrative around womanhood so we truly CAN understand and trust ourselves
What the divine feminine is + how you can truly tap into it
What the wounded feminine is + questioning why it’s been ingrained into us for so long

083 | POV: It's Been a Hard Week and We Go to Coffee Feb 15, 2024

In today’s episode, I want to talk more about what happens when it’s been a hard week, and our emotions are allll over the place. For me personally, I’ve been intentional about personal growth and healing for several years now, but my brain will still default to old patterns of negative thinking when I’m feeling burned out, or just plain sad. While I don’t want to stay stuck spiraling into these negative thoughts and beliefs, I’ve learned to get comfortable with them, acknowledge them, and move on. Feeling a full range of emotions is a GOOD thing - I’m constantly working on this with my kids, because crying and releasing pent up emotions is necessary!

In this episode, we cover:

Why walking is one of the most underrated tools that will totally improve your mental health
Why your brain defaults to old, negative patterns at times, even after you’ve been on a personal growth and healing journey for awhile
The importance of feeling a full range of emotions and letting them come out in healthy ways
The endless possibilities that can happen when we let go of certain feelings and create space for new ones
The rollercoaster of emotions that we experience when we are being intentional and trying new, uncomfortable things

082 | The Domino Effect Feb 08, 2024

In today’s episode, I want to talk more about the domino effect, and how this shows up so often in our lives. When you choose to move forward with your goals and dreams (however big or small they may be), it’s important to let go of those unnecessary expectations you’ve (more than likely) set for yourself. These decisions, and the action you’re choosing to take in the present, will impact your life, not only 6 months from now, but 6 years from now. Truthfully, your life is a culmination of the decisions you have made up until this point. Not making a decision IS a decision in itself.

In this episode, we cover:

Why you don’t need to have every single step figured out before you take action with your goals and dreams
The power of taking one step at a time
Letting go of unnecessary expectations, and how doing so can positively impact your life in unexpected ways
Those special moments that show us just how far we’ve come, learned, grown, etc. on our journey
Putting yourself out there when you know it’s time to make a change in your life + the beautiful trajectory that follows
Understanding that the all of the decisions you make now and going forward WILL impact your life days, months, and years from now

081 | How I Made More in One Launch Than My Old Teacher Salary Feb 01, 2024

I thought I would be a teacher for the rest of my life - I loved what I did in my teaching career, as well as the non-profit space. But, being able to exceed my teacher salary by SO MUCH, and not have to leave my family to go to a job for a set amount of hours has been indescribable.

I hope this episode not only encourages you, but lights a fire within you to step out, and pursue your passion. Whatever you’re considering doing and working toward, please know that all of it IS possible (and then some). I’m continually inspired by the magic of this community, and the amazing women I get to walk alongside - I’m so forever grateful for every single one of you!

In this episode, we cover:

The pressure and expectations we put on ourselves to have everything done and in place before we start something new/put ourselves out in a new way
Using one of my favorite prompts ‘wouldn’t it be cool if..’ to really think about and answer your goals and dreams (with no rules attached to it)
My ‘lightbulb moment’ that led me to create my first mastermind
Getting to a place of enjoying the fruits of my labor in my business, but also knowing I need to continue evolving and mixing things up
Figuring out MY specific zone of genius as I prepared for my launch
The power in knowing what your audience truly needs + being able to help them solve their problems
Why our recent flood was actually one of the best things to happen during my launch

080 | Mindset, Grief, and Growth with Ellan Ruskamp Jan 25, 2024

I’m joined by my dear friend, Ellan Ruskamp, on the podcast today! Ellan and I are talking about mindset, grief, and growth, because she has experienced every single one of these things in her life recently. We’re digging into the struggles of imposter syndrome while also keeping up with the Joneses as a business owner, showing up as your truest, authentic self (instead of how you think you ‘should’ present yourself), choosing intentionality and alignment instead of the never-ending hustle that society pushes on us, and much more.

Ellan Ruskamp is a farm wife & boy mama from rural Nebraska. When she’s not chasing kiddos or helping out on the farm, she enjoys getting in touch with her creative side through her business, Midwest Marigold. She designs apparel inspired by the heart & soul of rural life that leave women feeling full of confidence & beautiful in everyday life! You can find me on instagram @midwest.marigold or shopmidwestmarigold.com

In this episode, we will cover:

Learning to get support and ask for help where you specifically need it
Understanding that you’ll never have it ‘all’ figured out in business, no matter what you see on social media + finding community along the way
Ellan’s transition to showing up as her most authentic self, compared to how she originally thought she ‘should’ be
The power that comes from being intentional and doing the ‘work’ on your mindset, especially as you navigate an incredibly hard and devastating loss
Ellan’s best advice for supporting someone in your life who is experiencing a loss, hardship, etc.
How Ellan’s business, Midwest Marigold, has evolved since being a part of the Ascend retreat and mastermind + her plans moving forward

079 | Sh*t Happens, Mindset Matters Jan 18, 2024

In today’s episode, I want to talk about why your mindset matters - especially when sh*t happens that you totally didn’t plan on. I keep hearing from others about how brave, optimistic, and strong I’ve been throughout this entire process. While I’ve experienced a variety of emotions, I can tell that the personal growth I’ve done over the last few years to nurture my mindset has really come into play. I honestly can’t imagine facing this type of situation any other way! I fully understand that I DO have the capacity to do hard and (often) uncomfortable things, and I also know I’m not alone when I do, because I choose to surround myself with others who are striving for growth and intentionality in their lives too.

Maybe you aren’t dealing with a flood like I am, but you’re probably dealing with something, because, well..sh*t happens. Your mindset is never going to be perfect, but choosing to put in the work on yourself will make a HUGE difference when life goes haywire. This whole ordeal has greatly impacted our family, but my husband has been a superhero, my kids have been major troopers, and we’ve truly appreciated all of the love and support during this time. At the end of the day, we’re safe, and we’re together, and that’s what really matters!

In this episode, we cover:

The huge water leak that basically flooded our entire house right after Christmas + what our family is doing now as we work through this
The personal growth and work I’ve done over the last few years to truly nurture my mindset and practice intentional gratitude
The very deep understanding I now have regarding my capacity to do hard things
How much my perspective of the world has been impacted since working with others who are also striving for growth, intentionality, etc. in their lives
Becoming more aware of my social media usage + gaining clarity on what ACTUALLY moves the needle forward in my business since having less Wi-Fi
All of the ‘stuff’ we accumulate that we think is necessary, but really isn’t
Learning that we really CAN do hard things, no matter the circumstances

078 | What's Fueling Our Perfectionism and Fear of Failure? Jan 11, 2024

In today’s episode, I want to talk about what’s fueling our perfectionism, and fear of failure. I wholeheartedly believe that our fear of failure and need for perfectionism did NOT just appear out of thin air. That doesn’t mean we need to blame others for the upbringing and influence we had, but we know so much more than we did 20 or 30 years ago, which is powerful!

While perfectionism, fear of failure, imposter syndrome, etc. can be really tough on our own, there is magic in being connected with other women who are experiencing very similar challenges. They get it, and they’re in it with you! I love that I have this platform to have these tough (but very necessary) conversations, and I’m grateful you’re here doing the work with me!

In this episode, we cover:

Where the ‘good versus bad’ mindset actually originates, and how it comes into play throughout our lives
Putting more focus on the process instead of the outcome we’re striving for in regards to our goals, accomplishments, etc.
The constant bombardment we have of other people’s lives due to the internet and social media
The increased pressure placed on high school kids to get the best grades, play all the sports, and go to college so they can land their ‘dream job’
Pursuing life on purpose so you can get closer to the life you ACTUALLY want
Leaning into curiosity when you experience feelings of failure, not being perfect or enough, and more
Setting attainable goals and habits to help combat perfectionism and fear of failure

077 | Money Conversations with Alli Williams Jan 04, 2024

Alli and I are talking about all things money and finances, and she wants to continue making money more conversational (instead of a far-off, scary thing that nobody wants to think about). We’re diving into limiting beliefs that can keep you from achieving your financial goals, simple steps to take when you’re starting to focus on your money, what it looks like to have those necessary money conversations with your partner (even when it feels really uncomfortable), and more.

Alli is the founder and CEO of FinanciALLI Focused, a financial literacy company helping people create a flexible financial plan they can actually stick to (no deprivation here). She paid off over six-figures of debt while still saving, investing, and buying season football tickets. Alli’s work has been featured on Business Insider, Nerdwallet, and more. She has her MBA in Finance and lives in South Carolina on a 25 acre farm with her husband and 2 sons. She spends her time at football games (Go Gamecocks!) and with a Starbucks latte in her hand.

In this episode, we will cover:

Limiting beliefs that people have that keep them from actually achieving their financial goals
The best, first steps to take as you begin working on financial goals
How you can really focus on your financial goals and budget without feeling super fearful or restricted
Taking time to actually have those important money conversations so you can better understand each other and get on the same page
Money advice that makes Alli cringe
Looking for little wins and soaking in those ‘growth moments’ throughout your week during hectic seasons of life

076 | Postpartum Struggles and New Things Coming in 2024 Dec 28, 2023

With the current season of life I’m in (newborn phase with my 3rd babe, owning my own business, the hustle and bustle of the holiday season, etc..you get it), I was struggling to come up with something specific to talk about today. I asked my podcast manager, Jill, to come on and ask me some questions in hopes of sharing something valuable (or at least, entertaining) with you, so that’s exactly what happened!

In today’s episode, I want to talk about my postpartum struggles, and what is going on for me in this current season. I’m continually being reminded that some seasons are tougher than others, and while this time is one that I have SO much gratitude for, it’s also really freaking hard. Ultimately, choosing intentionality and focusing on your priorities is key, because at the end of the day, you don’t need to be doing ALL.THE.THINGS.

In this episode, we cover:

What life has looked like since welcoming my 3rd baby (personally & professionally), compared to my previous postpartum journeys
Acknowledging that some seasons are harder than others + knowing that we have the capacity to hold multiple emotions at once
The importance of taking enough time off after having a baby and asking for the help that YOU specifically need in your work and life
The value of having someone with an outside perspective to challenge your beliefs and encourage you when you need it

075 | Changing Mindsets in Ag with Brandi Buzzard Dec 21, 2023

I’m excited to chat with a very fun guest, Brandi Buzzard, on the podcast today! Brandi and I dive into a variety of topics, like the collective ‘wake-up call’ that more and more people are experiencing in our society (especially post-pandemic), the hustle and always ‘do more’ mentality that many ag and farming families grapple with, being willing to start those really hard conversations with your loved ones when necessary, and more. There’s nothing wrong with wanting and doing more when it comes to your farm, career, finances, etc. But..at the end of the day, the MORE shouldn’t be taking you away from your family, and keep you working yourself into the ground forever.

In this episode, we will cover:

Brandi’s story of pivoting from a corporate background to entrepreneurship, and what has unfolded for her since doing so
The collective ‘wake-up call’ that’s been happening in our society and ultimately, leading people to pursue their unique gifts with intentionality and purpose
Why the messaging around going after your goals and building your dream life can sometimes be more overwhelming than helpful
How the hard work and hustle mentality shows up in agriculture and for farming families
The power of leading by example + having the willingness to start those hard conversations when change is needed
What’s in store for Brandi in 2024
Recognizing how powerful your actions and words can be, both inside and outside your home

074 | How to Stay Centered and Intentional Over the Holidays Dec 14, 2023

In today’s episode, I want to talk more about how to stay centered and intentional over the holidays. There can be a very real and isolating feeling that happens when you’re shifting your identity, and/or doing something different, and you receive judgment or disapproval from family and friends. I want you to approach this season staying grounded and remaining confident in your choices-it’s important to remember WHY you’re doing what you’re doing. The more you live life on purpose in the way that makes sense for you, the more people around you will take note, and may want to do the same.

In this episode, we cover:

Staying grounded and having clarity in what you’re doing BEFORE you go into a space with your family and friends
Understanding that most people are just trying to make conversation, and you’re not the only one who feels awkward and uncomfortable during holiday gatherings
Knowing that you are in control of whose opinions actually hold weight for you, and you don’t need to listen to everyone’s advice
The power in surrounding yourself with others who are on similar trajectories as you
Why you shouldn’t dismiss the possibility of showing others your evolved and authentic self, and the positive impact you can leave on them

073 | Using the Enneagram, Kindness, and Communication to Draw Good Movement with Terryn Drieling Dec 07, 2023

I’m honored to have my good friend, Terryn Drieling, on the podcast today! We dive more into ‘good movement draws good movement’ (the signature concept Terryn shares and teaches about), what the Enneagram is and all of the specific types in detail, how to begin improving communication in your relationships and work, and more.

Terryn Drieling is a born and raised Nebraska girl. She’s married to her favorite human, and together they’re raising three awesome young humans. She likes her shades big and her hills sandy (read – she likes big sunglasses and resides + ranches in the Nebraska Sandhills). Terryn is the instagrammer formerly known as faith family and beef. And while faith, family, and beef will always be her top priorities, she’s recently stepped into a new purpose - that of drawing good movement, helping others grow relationally through self-awareness, understanding, and effective communication.

In this episode, we will cover:

Terryn’s initial experience with the concept ‘good movement draws good movement’, and how that’s impacted and led her to sharing & teaching in the online space
How Terryn first learned about the Enneagram + how it relates to good movement
A deep dive into what the Enneagram actually is and the specific types
Simple ways you can begin improving communication in your relationships, work, and more
How the concept of ‘good movement draws good movement’ can lead to better communication, more kindness, less stress, and much more

072 | How to Live Life on Purpose - my interview on the Throwing Wrenches Mending Fences Podcast Nov 30, 2023

I have a fun episode to share with you today, and it’s a little different than normal! I was a guest on my friend Sarah Zastrow’s podcast, Throwing Wrenches Mending Fences, and it was a really powerful conversation that left me feeling so uplifted when I was done. I decided to share that interview with you this week, so you’ll still get to hear from me, but also, you’ll get to meet and learn from Sarah too (spoiler-she’s amazing)!

In this episode, we cover:

My story of stepping into the farm/rural life + my discovery of the world of personal development, and all that has evolved since then
How the pandemic was like an awakening for so many people, and really challenged us to take a closer look at our lives
Finding joy, intentionality, and purpose in whatever season of life you’re in + still pursuing your unique goals and dreams
Taking time to be reflective and ask yourself the hard questions, even when it’s uncomfortable
Learning to operate from a place of peace and contentment instead of constant stress and chaos
Finding balance in the day-to-day life (and why this doesn’t mean everything is getting equal parts of your energy and focus)
Why workaholism shouldn’t be celebrated in agriculture + why it’s SO necessary for farming families to set boundaries when it comes to work and family
Bringing together the personal growth + business development for yourself with your farm, instead of keeping them totally separate

071 | Forging The Path as Your Authentic Self with Courtenay DeHoff Nov 23, 2023

I’m very excited to be joined by the amazing Courtenay Dehoff on the podcast today! Courtenay grew up in the thick of agriculture (which she loved), and she eventually landed her dream career as a television host. She felt like she had checked allll of the boxes when it came to her career and life, and while everything looked good on paper, she had never been more miserable or unfulfilled. Ultimately, she knew she needed to ‘come back home’ to her cowgirl roots, and integrate that world with her new city girl lifestyle.

Courtenay now embraces her unique cowgirl roots and proudly stands out in a world of cookie cutter on-camera personalities. Armed with a passion to share stories on her own terms and give prominence to the agriculture community, Courtenay has utilized her expert storytelling skills to show being a cowgirl isn't how you look, where you live, or even the lifestyle you lead - it’s a state of mind. Courtenay even created Fancy Lady Cowgirl, a powerful community of women from all over the world who have a passion for the ag lifestyle, and really embrace their cowgirl spirit. Being a cowgirl doesn’t have to mean that it’s your occupation, but instead, it’s your mindset.

In this episode, we will cover:

Courtenay’s story of growing up surrounded by agriculture, to then landing her dream career as a television host, but still feeling unfulfilled
Connecting with people + building relationships with those who understand the importance of staying true to who you are, while also fully embracing a new lifestyle
What can happen when you choose to live life as your most authentic self
Courtenay’s upcoming Fancy Lady Cowgirl event + her new TV show, Backroad Cowgirls
Helping people in both the ag space and urban America be more open to learning about what the other side has to offer
The power of investing in yourself + surrounding yourself with those you’re striving to be more like

070 | Behind the Scenes Achievements Nov 16, 2023

In today’s episode, I want to talk more about behind the scenes achievements - things that aren’t always known about publicly, or recognized by other people. Intangible goals are super important, and choosing to pursue something new and different (and maybe out of the norm) should be celebrated. I hope this episode encourages you to take notice of all the behind the scenes work you’re doing and progress you’re making in your life. ALL of it matters, and you’re going to get exactly where you’re meant to be!

In this episode, we cover:

The intangible and unseen work that happens when you’re trying to re-shift your identity and bring your unique vision to life
Looking back to see what you did months and years ago, and how much progress you really have made since then
Why the tangible and measurable goals don’t always get you closer to what you want
Taking a step back and meeting yourself where you are right now, instead of feeling like you have to go all in and give something a million percent
Giving yourself time and space to understand what you really want, instead of putting pressure on yourself to have everything all figured out
The confusing intersection that happens between chasing something and finding contentment

068 | How to Be Your Own Cheerleader Nov 02, 2023

For some reason, we can easily identify other people’s gifts and strengths, but struggle to recognize our own. We don’t think that we have anything of value to offer the world, but goodness, that is so not the case! Having an unshakable confidence in yourself and what you bring to the table is a beautiful thing. It’s also NECESSARY when you want to bring your goals and intentions to fruition, because no one can do it for you.

In this episode, we cover:

How so many of us have been conditioned to recognize our flaws above anything else, and not see our value or worth
Taking time to reflect on and identify your strengths and unique gifts you bring to the world
Figuring out if your strengths are really true to you, OR if they exist to fulfill other people’s expectations of you
How your greatest strengths can also be a double-edged sword, and may be more detrimental to you in some ways
The concept of wholeheartedly believing in and cheering others on, but really struggling to do the same for yourself
Writing down and/or saving the positive, uplifting notes about yourself (whether you or others shared them)
Retraining the way you talk to yourself when you make mistakes, and things don’t go according to plan
Focus on baby steps and celebrate the small wins on your journey

067 | Redefining Rural-ish Living & Cultivating Change with Emily Matzke Oct 26, 2023

On today's episode, I have Emily Matzke as a guest! One of the most beautiful things about Emily is she’s very clear on what she wants to do with her life. She always knew she was meant to be in agriculture - she really is her happiest and freest self when she’s involved with the farm. Emily has been super intentional about following her passions and choosing to do work that lights her up, instead of staying stuck in a traditional job that did just the opposite. She continues to do a variety of work in agriculture, and she loves showing others a complete 360 view of what life can look like in this space.

Emily is laser-focused on building a life with intention, and she is totally your go-to girl when it comes to agriculture and farm life. She is all about redefining rural-ish living and cultivating change in our world today. I know you’re absolutely going to LOVE hearing Emily’s story, and all of the goodness she has to share!

In this episode, we will cover:

Emily’s early, cherished memories on her grandparents’ dairy farm, to her continued desire to have a career in agriculture
‘Jumping without a net’ and going all in to pursue your goals and passions
Creating an inviting and relatable space for people both online and in the local community to learn about agriculture
What ‘rural-ish’ living looks like for Emily, and how she shares that with others
The importance of leaning into and embodying your own, unique identity vs. trying to fit yourself into someone else’s box of you
Changing the conversations by bringing empathy, compassion, and curiosity to the table
Confidently leaning into the real, authentic YOU

066 | Harvest Mom Hacks Oct 19, 2023

In today’s episode, I want to share some of my harvest mom hacks I’ve figured out over time. These are things that my kids and I are doing so we’re able to actually thrive and ENJOY this special time together. Of course, every operation and what’s happening on the farm is different, so your situation may not look just like mine. I can’t stress enough how important it is to do what works best for you and YOUR family, and not compare to what others around you are doing.

Even if you aren’t in ag like I am, I hope you’ll still find these hacks useful, and be able to apply them to your own life!

In this episode, we cover:

Why making fun plans and embracing time together outside of harvest is so important
Creating your own special routines and rituals that you can look forward to
Reading a chapter book to your kids before bed to help with a smoother and calmer bedtime
Turning on a music playlist for your kids to dance and be silly (we personally love Koo Koo Kangaroo on YouTube) while you’re doing kitchen clean-up
Really adjusting your expectations and giving yourself grace in this season
Letting your kids sit in the cab/equipment with your spouse or partner, and taking a walk and/or doing something by yourself for a bit

065 | Evolving Alongside Your Business with Bookkeeper Mary Faber Oct 12, 2023

I’m excited to be joined by a fellow Illinoisan and good friend of mine, Mary Faber, on the podcast today!

Mary is the expert when it comes to all things bookkeeping - she’s definitely your go-to numbers girl! She’s passionate about helping her clients in the ag industry, those who are small business owners, and beyond. Mary has been able to do some incredible work on her entrepreneurial journey over the last 3 years, and she’s now stepping into the next season of her business. She’s excited to provide more people with the strong foundation they need for their bookkeeping, and help them to feel more confident about it over time. I can’t wait for you to hear about the fun things Mary has happening, and the true magic of evolving alongside your business!

Mary Faber is a Virtual Bookkeeper who works exclusively with QuickBooks Online and serves Rural Entrepreneurs from coast to coast. In addition to providing Ongoing Bookkeeping Services to her clients, she also teaches others how to utilize QuickBooks Online for their business.

Struggling with ‘new levels, new devils’ when it comes to trying new (and scary) things, but choosing to do them anyway

064 | Third Time’s A Charm: Steps I Took for a Healthier Pregnancy Oct 05, 2023

Even though this pregnancy has been harder on my body than my first two, I’ve felt completely different in a lot of ways too. I’ve learned so much when it comes to my health and habits over the last few years; it’s the whole ‘when you know better, you do better’ concept. I know without a doubt, the intentionality that I have built into my life over the last few years has dramatically impacted this pregnancy, and my body just feels better prepared this time around.

In today’s episode, I want to dive into some steps I took for a healthier pregnancy. Even though what I’m sharing may not be groundbreaking information for you, I want you to have all of the best knowledge on your journey. Whether you’re preparing for a possible pregnancy, you’re in the thick of it like me right now, or you’re wanting to better navigate future pregnancies, I hope these tools and resources are super valuable for you!

In this episode, we cover:

The life-changing benefits of regular chiropractic care
My experience working with a functional health provider + supplementation to support my particular deficiencies and what my body really needs
Really paying attention to your nutrition, and specifically, how certain foods make your body feel
The power of consistent movement, which will help with a smoother labor, delivery, and postpartum recovery
Prioritizing quality sleep + going to bed earlier
How different my mental health and brain function looks now, compared to just a few years ago
Embracing an empowered mindset, and understanding what my body is truly capable of

063 | Tiny Habits, Big Results with Coach Kiah Sep 28, 2023

Since we’re approaching the end of 2023, Kiah and I thought it would be beneficial to dive more into habits and share some tactical tools and takeaways to help you re-evaluate your current habits, or re-establish new ones all together. We both feel very passionately about habits, because they can really enhance the FULL 360 view of your life. The power of tiny habits has majorly impacted our businesses, health journeys, and personal growth journeys.

Kiah Twisselman Burchett, better known as Coach Kiah, is a California cattle rancher turned motivational speaker, life coach, and podcaster. She’s on a mission to empower others to love themselves deeper, care for themselves better, and find joy in this messy, beautiful journey of life. After battling with her own weight and body image from a young age, she embarked on her own personal health journey losing over 100 pounds, but more importantly, the mental weight she had been carrying with her for years. Named one of Cowgirl Magazine’s 2023 Top 30 Under 30, Coach Kiah uses her vulnerability and infectious energy to show others how to overcome hardships, cultivate confidence, and become the main characters in their own lives.

In this episode, we will cover:

Why you don’t need to wait until the new year to start creating new habits and practicing intentionality
Knowing your current habits that are already in place, and understanding how they’re serving you (and how they’re not)
The dangerous trap of comparing yourself to what you were like in previous seasons of life
Learning to give yourself grace and embracing progress over perfection
My personal habits I’m committing to for the next 32 days
Kiah’s six habits she is committing to for the next 82 days
Practicing intentionality and mindfulness in a way that cares for your mental, emotional, AND physical health
How my upcoming Ascend retreat can help you kickstart 2024 and really transform your life in a powerful way

062 | 5 Reasons That Personal Growth Kinda Sucks Sep 21, 2023

Yes, this podcast is totally about the beautiful journey of personal growth and how powerful intentionality is in our lives! But..if you’re struggling right now, and really in the thick of it, you are definitely not alone, because I’ve been there. There comes a time when things start to feel hard and uncomfortable on your personal growth journey. It would feel MUCH easier to just throw in the towel and simply float through life without a goal or care in the world. While no one ever said this work would be easy (working on ourselves never is after all), it IS worth it.

In this episode, we cover:

Confronting parts of your reality and yourself that you have been avoiding
Becoming more aware of how you want to show up in the world, as well as navigating relationships with the important people in your life
Learning to get comfortable with the uncomfortable
What can happen when you take on new opportunities, mindsets, and challenges
Showing up with intentionality instead of cruising through your life on autopilot, and never feeling truly fulfilled

061 | From Misaligned to Living on Purpose with Maddy Rabenhorst Sep 14, 2023

While Maddy’s life ‘looked’ good on paper and checked all of the boxes, she was far from fulfilled, and had actually reached a new level of burnout in her corporate career. She had dreamed of coming back to working alongside her husband on their farm, but was unsure of how to actually make that happen. She continued having a strong, internal pull to change her situation, and make her dream a reality. After going through a lot of hard work, tears, masterminds, and coaching calls, Maddy eventually gained the clarity and confidence to pursue something that was fulfilling for her, and still contribute to her family financially. Maddy has truly gone from misaligned to living on purpose, and I can’t WAIT for you to hear her amazing story!

In this episode, we will cover:

Maddy’s important realizations and ‘aha’ moments during her first mastermind in 2022
How communication with your spouse can look when you’re navigating big life changes and aren’t on the same page
Doing the deep internal work to figure out who you really are, and what you actually want your life to look like
How the ASCEND retreat helped Maddy find the clarity and confidence she needed to make powerful changes in her life
Trusting the process and learning to make scary, uncomfortable decisions when you’re starting a business and leaving your ‘stable’ career
Maddy’s love for creativity, which led her to start her business, Prairie Elements
The power of choosing yourself every single day, so you can ultimately become the person you’re meant to be

060 | How to Set Aligned Goals - My Step By Step Process Sep 07, 2023

In today’s episode, I want to talk with you more about how to set aligned goals, and the step by step process I personally use. I want you to get very intentional about setting goals and priorities that bring you closer to what you REALLY want for you and your family.

In this episode, we cover:

Giving yourself permission to dream with NO boundaries, and thinking about the prompt “wouldn’t it be cool if..” (fill in the blank with your goals)
Painting a picture with your goals as they relate to specific physical, emotional, spiritual, psychological, financial, and more aspects in your life
Choosing your top 10 goals and writing them down as if they’re already true
Looking at how each of your goals fit into your big picture
Narrowing your list of goals down to ONE, and write down/take note of the reasons WHY you are choosing this one
Doing a huge brain dump to get all of your thoughts and ideas out and onto paper
Taking one step at a time (ex. Like knocking dominoes over), instead of trying to do everything you need to do at once
The magic that comes from sharing about your unique goals with other women who are encouraging and challenging you in the same room

059 | From Burning Out to Shining Bright with Lindsay Wineinger Aug 31, 2023

On today's episode, I had the honor of sitting down with my sweet friend, Lindsay Wineinger. We’re talking all about Lindsay’s story and the incredible work she’s doing in her community, as well as the powerful transformation she’s experienced over the last year (and is still going through) in her own life.

When we’re listening to podcast interviews or watching someone’s journey somewhere else, so often it looks like they’ve already ‘achieved the thing’, and it makes us feel like it’s not possible for us. Lindsay is currently right in the middle of launching into some new and amazing things in her life though, and is experiencing some massive personal growth. She really shares a fresh and relatable perspective, and I LOVE that she is bringing more light and inspiration into the world. I can’t wait for you to hear her story as she absolutely went from burning out to shining bright, and everything that’s happened on her journey!

In this episode, we cover:

Lindsay’s start into entrepreneurship of buying an animal feed store with her husband, to now owning multiple different businesses
Losing your identity in marriage, motherhood, and work, and realizing something HAS to change
Lindsay’s experience of attending the ASCEND retreat, and her realization of getting ‘back to the basics’ in order to rediscover herself
Stepping back from certain responsibilities when you need to, and really making the time to take care of yourself
Lindsay’s ‘light bulb’ moments and changes that have happened in her life over the last year
How Lindsay’s faith and relationship with God has helped realign her on her journey
Understanding your enneagram to help you navigate and grow in your life
Lindsay’s brave (and uncomfortable) decision to go in a new direction by stepping into public speaking and consulting
Why you HAVE to truly take care of yourself before you can help others

058 | How to Inventory Your “Shoulds” to Make Space for Your Priorities Aug 24, 2023

In today’s episode, I want to talk with you about how to inventory your “shoulds” to make space for your priorities, so you CAN spend more time doing what you truly love, and less time stressing about stuff that doesn’t really matter. Just know that what works best for you and your family is what REALLY matters, and it doesn’t have to look like everyone else’s.

In this episode, we cover:

Why messaging around pursuing your dreams and going after your goals can be more overwhelming than encouraging at times
Why so many of us spend our days doing things we think we “should” be doing, without a conscious awareness of even WHY we are, or if we really want to
Doing a giant brain dump to get every single thing you do on a daily basis down on paper
Really looking at everything you’re currently doing and figuring out WHY you’re doing those things
Talking with your spouse or partner about everything you’re both doing, and deciding what needs to stay (and what doesn’t)
Ranking your daily responsibilities from most important to least important, and really seeing where you’re spending the majority of your time and energy
Why every day of our lives shouldn’t be treated like our plates on Thanksgiving

057 | Old-Fashioned on Purpose: Cultivating a Slower, More Joyful Life with Jill Winger Aug 17, 2023

I had the joy of talking with my new friend, Jill Winger, on today’s episode! Jill has done (and is continuing to do) SO many incredible things in the homesteading space. She started one of the OG foundational homesteading blogs when she first became a stay-at-home mom. Jill was feeling a bit lost and purposeless at the time, but she soon found a love for the homesteading skills she was learning and doing. Now, she shares allll of her amazing homesteading knowledge with the world, and she even has a new book coming out in Fall 2023.

Jill Winger is the founder of The Prairie Homestead, one of the foremost homesteading websites since 2010. She is dedicated to helping others learn how to grow their own food and live a more fulfilling, old-fashioned life. Her practical and authentic style of teaching and storytelling has won the hearts of hundreds of thousands of homesteaders across social media and through the top-ranked Old Fashioned on Purpose podcast and the best-selling Prairie Homestead Cookbook.

In this episode, we cover:

When Jill started questioning all of the ‘normal’ things in life, and decided to make a completely different shift that felt right for her and her family
Navigating a new business and making money in an unorthodox way, while still being true to who you are
Learning to be confident in what you’re doing when you’re going against the grain, and not worry about outside approval

A great place to start when you’re first beginning with homesteading

056 | Embracing the Entrepreneurial Spiral Aug 10, 2023

Let’s talk about the big ole elephant in the room that so many of us are secretly grappling with, but no one seems to be talking about: the moments, days or weeks as entrepreneurs where we spiral into self doubt and want to burn the whole thing down (iykyk).

Don’t get me wrong, being an entrepreneur is the BEST: choosing the type of work you’re doing, who you’re working with, what your schedule looks like, creative freedom and more.

It’s also really freaking hard.

Because YOU are the business, entrepreneurship can bring out our biggest insecurities, especially when things go awry. I’ve struggled with my fair share of self doubt and confidence throughout my entrepreneurial journey, but I’ve learned a whole lot of the ebbs and flows of business along the way. These days, I’m much better equipped to handle those spiral out type moments and don’t stay stuck in those hard moments for nearly as long as I used to.

In today’s episode, I want to share some thoughts and strategies to help you do the same so you can get back to the momentum, energy, and impact that you love in your business!

In this episode, we cover:

Understanding that the ups and downs of entrepreneurship are really just a normal part of the process
The comparison trap with social media, which can lead to the unsettling thoughts you’re having about your business
The power of surrounding yourself with a community who can speak life into you and remind you of your purpose
Getting very clear on your priorities and deciding if what you’re doing is in alignment
Evaluating how you are really taking care of YOU
Learning to celebrate yourself and sit in an abundance mindset vs. scarcity mindset
The reminder that you are NOT alone

055 | What Does Personal Growth Mean to You? - A Special 1 Year Anniversary Episode! Aug 03, 2023

One year ago, a HUGE dream of mine was coming to life…launching a podcast! Between my personal journey, the conversations we’ve had on this show, countless lessons learned, new perspectives, and overall growth, this year has truly been one like no other. I’m so grateful to YOU for making Gather in Growth what it is today.

I've had the joy of interviewing some incredible women who inspire me and have beautiful stories to share. I’ve learned so much about myself, the world, and you along the way and I’m so excited to share pieces of that with you in this very special anniversary episode. In each guest interview, I ask the question “what does personal growth mean to you” and we have compiled each guest’s answer to make today’s episode extra special.

Over the last 12 months, there’s been a huge transformation in me and in my life. I’ll also be sharing how my perspective of personal growth has shifted over the last year.

053 | Simple Ways to Change Your Life TODAY Jul 20, 2023

In today’s episode, I want to dig into some simple ways to change your life today. While none of what I’m sharing may be earth shattering, groundbreaking information, these ARE things that have really helped me in my life. When we start making changes with our health, personal growth, career, etc., it’s easy to feel overwhelmed when trying to do everything at once. I’ve learned we don’t really need to overcomplicate things, because it’s the small, micro changes that truly have a lasting impact on our lives. We only get this one life, so I want to encourage you to get very clear on what is serving you on your journey, and discover what intentionality looks like for you!

In this episode, we cover:

Why walking has a ripple effect of benefits and is something many of us can do in some way
How vital getting more sleep is
Limiting your intake of mindless scrolling on social media and instead, focusing on being intentional with your time while on there
Taking inventory of your community and WHO you’re surrounding yourself with
Adopting a phrase like ‘is this supporting the life I want?’
Shifting your mindset and reframing your way of thinking to a place of gratitude
Finding a therapist or coach who can really help you understand yourself and let go of what’s holding you back

052 | How to Talk So Your Spouse Will Listen with Ashley Machado Jul 13, 2023

I’ve been seeing a common thread in many spaces lately about communication in marriage, and what that looks like-especially when experiencing conflict. I knew my friend, Ashley Machado, would be the perfect person to bring on and share more about how to talk so your spouse will listen.

Ashley Machado is a Tedx speaker and has been selected as a 2023 FFA Change Maker. She is rethinking the way we support mental health in the food and ag space. She specializes in tangible tools and simple strategies through mental health training and education for ag families and businesses alike. Ashley grew up in the dairy industry and now farms and ranches with her family in California’s central valley. She has her BA in human development and masters in social work with an emphasis in clinical mental health. Her goal is for everyone in the ag industry and rural America to have the tools they need in their mental health toolbox to operate and live life fully.

In this episode, we cover:

Breaking down barriers so we can feel safe when having vulnerable conversations, while still serving our relationship
How to get your partner on board with what you’re doing
Navigating differences in parenting styles
How the different types of love languages can play a role in communication with your spouse
Tactical ways to make time and space for each other during busy seasons

051 | How, When, and Why I Reconsidered My Relationship with Alcohol Jul 06, 2023

In today's episode, I’m sharing something I’ve never really talked about extensively. For some reason, it’s been on my heart and my mind to talk about how, when, and why I reconsidered my relationship with alcohol. This is something that has looked very different for me in various seasons of my life, but it’s also impacted me in powerful ways. I know this is very personalized and unique for everyone, but I feel like there are some pieces of my process and journey that you will resonate with too. I hope this at least serves as an invitation for you to reevaluate anything in your own life, and not be afraid to make positive changes when you feel called to do so!

In this episode, we cover:

My early relationship with alcohol, and how that affected me growing up
My experience with alcohol in college, and how it made me feel around other people
Realizing how much of my life was spent thinking about when I would have my next drink
Navigating pregnancy and learning how to connect with others without bonding over drinking
Starting my postpartum health journey and making the decision to remove alcohol from my diet for a 90 day habit challenge
Why alcohol is now a very INTENTIONAL choice instead of a default mechanism in my daily life
Taking the time to determine WHY you’re doing what you’re doing, and if it’s getting you closer to the life you really want to live

047 | Is Your Comfort Zone Holding You Back? Jun 08, 2023

On today’s episode, I’m challenging you with the question: Is Your Comfort Zone Holding You Back? When we have a dream on our heart, when we want to start something new, when we want to go against the grain - we think about everything that could go wrong. What if others judge me? What if this fails? What if I fail? All of these fears are normal because our brain is quite literally designed to keep us safe. But are these fears holding you back from bringing your true desires and purpose for your life to fruition?

In this episode, we cover:

We logically KNOW that we can do anything, but sometimes we don’t FEEL that we can
Our brain doesn’t know the difference between physical danger and emotional danger
Considering the price of avoiding all danger and fear
Your purpose and dreams have to be greater than your excuses and fears

She sees her adhd as a super power to overcome obstacles and harness her creative mind with various different hobbies and skills.

In this episode, we cover:

Advice for someone starting a similar journey
There’s never solely one way to do something

044 | Replacing Your Income and Finding Alignment with Kayla Zenner May 18, 2023

On today’s episode, I am joined by Kayla Zenner as she shares her inspiring story of replacing her income and finding alignment. Kayla has become such a dear friend to me through masterminds and 1:1 coaching over the last six months and I know her story will resonate with many women in this community. We dive into what it looks like to leave a career you love, replace your income from home, build an intentional life, step outside the norm, and continue to reiterate to gain alignment and clarity.

Kayla Zenner is a farm wife and mom of two who took a step away from teaching to focus on her family. Along the way she found a creative outlet in cooking and baking and wanted to share that passion with others. Between running a home bakery and teaching others to enjoy the process of baking and cooking she has a growing garden and chickens.

In this episode, we cover:

Defining what your definition of freedom and success looks like
Just because you CAN do something or just because you’re GOOD at something, doesn’t mean it's good for you
Working through the fear of thinking you’re letting someone else down or the judgment of others
The power of going in 100% and how much you can achieve when you fully commit
How coaching and masterminds have helped Kayla gain clarity and community

043 | The Confusing Intersection Between Chasing and Content May 11, 2023

You all know how strongly I believe that you have the capability to bring any goal or dream to life. As I reflect on what I’ve learned over the past several months of my healing journey, I’ve come to realize my own attachment between achievement and worthiness, productivity and feeling like enough. I’ve been doing a lot of intentional work on untangling these ideas within myself and I’ve noticed how many others have their own version of this as well. In today’s episode, I share my thoughts on the confusing intersection between chasing and content.

In this episode, we cover:

Being aware of where your goals are coming from and what your motivations are behind them
Accepting that multiple things can be true at one time
The comparison trap of social media
How goals can work alongside the vision you have for your overall life

041 | How to Navigate Busy Seasons as a Farm Wife Apr 27, 2023

It’s officially planting season in our neck of the woods. I don’t know about you, but that means our family’s schedule gets turned upside down, sometimes for weeks on end. If you’re a farm wife, busy season might look different depending on your location, operation, or your role. If you’re not in agriculture, there may be a different time of year that looks extra chaotic compared to others. In today’s episode, I’m going to share the things I’ve learned on how to navigate busy seasons, such as planting and harvest, as a farm wife.

Even when I know it’s coming and what to expect, it can still be a lot. To be honest, sometimes it’s downright HARD. Thankfully, over the past seven years of living on the farm, I’ve come to understand what I can do to set myself up for success. I hope there’s a nugget or two in this conversation that will help you and your family on your own journey!

My top tips for how to navigate busy seasons as a farm wife:

You don’t have to sit at home… go out and DO!
Find a community that understands what you’re going through
YOU get to decide what this looks like; let go of the expectations of others
It’s okay to adjust your expectations in this season
Keep a positive mindset
Remembering that this too shall pass!

040 | Asking Questions and Finding Freedom with Lou Bluth Apr 20, 2023

On today’s episode, I am joined by my friend, Lou Bluth! Throughout her lifetime, Lou has been on quite the journey from growing up in Texas to meeting a red bearded farmer at college in Utah to getting established in a whole new world on a Mormon colony in Mexico and eventually finding freedom as a family by living as their authentic selves.

Lou and her husband, Bronson, have been on a journey of asking questions, personal and spiritual growth, and breaking outside of the norm to find freedom and fulfillment.

I have LOVED watching Lou’s journey unfold and know that you’ll be inspired by the knowledge, passion, and curiosity that she has to offer. She is truly a unique light in this world and I’m beyond grateful to bring this conversation to you!

Lou Bluth is a wild, free, and curious farmwife on a soul journey of discovery. She’s a Texas-born girl living in the Chihuahua, Mexico desert. She’s growing a brand, two boys, lots of onions, and a deeper connection with herself and the mystery of life.

In this episode, we cover:

Constantly seeking fulfillment in your life
Not living on autopilot
Navigating a personal growth journey with your spouse (when they aren’t quite on board yet)
Asking yourself the question “do I really believe that or was I just taught to believe that?”

039 | Are Your Goals What You Actually Want? Apr 13, 2023

In today’s episode, I’m going to dive into a topic that has come up NUMEROUS times lately for both myself and amongst many other women in my life. Today is an opportunity for me to ask you, “are your goals what you actually want?” So often we latch onto a goal because we think it sounds good or we think it’s something we should achieve. But does that goal actually align with your values and what you want your everyday reality to look like?

In this episode, we cover:

What is your definition of success?
The potential misalignment between what our goals are and our desired life
Putting blinders on the what you think you “should” do and really digging deep into what makes sense for you and your life

What EFT tapping is and how it works

034 | Permission to Build a Life & Business That You Love with Jenny Roth Mar 09, 2023

Today I have the honor of being joined by my sweet friend, Jenny Roth, to talk about having permission to build a life and business that you love. Back in October, there was a day where I reached out to several people to get myself the help I needed; both personally and professionally. One of those people was Jenny. Jenny is a copywriter and she and I have been working together ever since. She has blessed my life and I know she’ll bless yours too.

Jenny Roth is a conversion copywriter for business owners and personal brands. She specializes in joyful, strategic copy that generates leads and welcomes your clients with open arms. Her mission is uncovering words that will resonate most with your clients, so you can have higher converting, fun-to-read copy, without spending hours upon hours at your keyboard to make it happen. Jenny started her copywriting business back in 2014, working very part-time when her three daughters were small, to going full-time now that her kids are all in school. When she isn't writing, you can find her hanging out with her husband and three daughters in beautiful, windy South Dakota where they love to camp, swim in the Missouri river, raise chickens, and ride bikes.

In this episode, we cover:

What a copywriter is and what they do
Evolving and changing along with your business
Tips on how to improve your own copywriting
A helpful and encouraging mindset about time management
The power of just starting and then learning and growing from there

028 | Tips for Pursuing Big Dreams in a Small Town Jan 26, 2023

Today we’re digging into some things to keep in mind, and mindset shifts to make, as you pursue big goals in a small town. I recently asked my instagram audience about their biggest struggles as a small town dreamer and unsurprisingly, soooo many women shared nearly identical pain points. Whether you’re expanding the farm, building a business, starting to share online, beginning a health journey, jump starting a fundraiser - whatever it is - the struggles were similar all across the board. Between the weight of expectations, opinions of other people, fear of judgment, and not having support from family and friends, these things are felt collectively and can make a huge impact on the way we show up and pursue the dreams on our heart.

In today’s episode, I’m going to share a few things to consider, offer a different perspective, and some mindset shifts to hopefully encourage you to keep going and to also make sure you know you aren’t alone.

In this episode, we cover:

The importance of surrounding yourself with community
Being mindful of whose opinions you’re letting matter
Getting confident in what you’re in pursuit of
Why YOU are a leader in your small town
A glimpse into my first experience of EMDR therapy

Emily wants Dairy Girl Fitness to represent a strong, confident, and hardworking group of women.

024 | Nothing Magically Changes on January 1st Dec 29, 2022

As we approach the new year, I want to encourage you and remind you that nothing magically changes on January 1st. In today’s episode, I walk you through a process of reflection and action planning to approach 2023 with intentionality. The thing is… this is the same advice I’d give you whether it was April or September or anytime throughout the year. You’re the same person on the first day of January as you are on the last day of December. You don’t need a fresh new year to wake up and decide to make changes to your life. BUT, since this topic is fresh on everyone’s mind, I’ll share my two cents on setting intentions for the new year!

In this episode, we cover:

Things to consider:

What are you most proud of from 2022? Every win - big and small - deserves celebrating
What do you want to carry into the new year?
What would you like to create more of in the coming year?
What do you need to release?

Steps to take:

023 | Gaining Clarity & Being Grounded in Your Why Dec 22, 2022

Today we’re talking about gaining clarity and being grounded in your why. A few weeks ago, I had the honor of being interviewed by Mindy Duff for the Up-Level Your Life with Mindy podcast. I feel like it was one of those divine moments where I was totally in flow and just really loved our conversation. It was SO good, that I wanted to share it on Gather in Growth. Thank you to Mindy for graciously sending it our way!

In this episode, we cover:

Getting clear on what you want and how to get that clarity
Continuously having the courage to ask ourselves “what do I actually want?”
How to confidentially combat naysayers
What to do when we hit a roadblock as we’re pursuing our goals and dreams
The importance of knowing our why and being reflective of what’s serving us

022 | The Power of Community Dec 15, 2022

Today we have a very special kind of episode planned for today. Last month, I had the incredible honor of hosting my first ever ASCEND retreat for rural women in Destin, Florida. And on the final day of our weekend, one of my coaches and dear friend, Coach Kiah, pulled each woman at the retreat aside and asked them a series of questions about their experience.

My podcast manager and I wanted to use this audio to put together an episode to, first of all, serve as a beautiful tribute and keepsake for the incredible women who attended this very special, incredible first ever ASCEND retreat, and also as a tangible way to explain just what kind of magic is in store throughout the ASCEND experience.

021 | Feeling Better is Not the Same as Healing with Kristen Rogers Dec 08, 2022

I am bringing you a very impromptu episode today about how sometimes feeling better is not the same as healing. I’m currently in the middle of a healing and self discovery journey, and the episode that was originally planned for this week just didn’t feel right. So instead, today you’ll meet Kristen Rogers. She is a dear friend whom I met through the mastermind that we both participate in. The morning that we recorded this episode, we had been messaging back and forth about our healing journeys. On the fly, I asked her if she’d hop on a call and record an episode on the topic with me... And she agreed! I adore and admire her so deeply and know you’re in for a treat as she shares so much wisdom, experience, and encouragement.

In this episode, we cover:

The difference between feeling emotions vs. managing emotions
How sometimes we focus on helping others so that we don’t have to focus on helping ourselves
Addressing the root problem instead of just putting a bandaid on it
Making yourself sit and feel each emotion, even when it’s an emotion you can’t name
Ideas and tips on how to make time to be still and put in the work to heal
A different perspective on what self love means

020 | What’s the Best that Could Happen? with Hilary Richards Dec 01, 2022

Today I have the honor of chatting with my friend, Hilary Richards. From the power of unconditional community, to trusting your intuition and never giving up on your dreams, in today’s episode we answer the question of “what’s the best that could happen?”

Hilary is the founder of the SHE CAN CLUB, the fastest growing female empowerment movement in Sonoma County, California. After years of people telling her what she should do with her life, she dug deep and figured out what she was meant to do with her life. She is now on a mission to smother her local community of women with support until they have the confidence to take action on whatever it is that they feel called to do.

In this episode, we cover:

What the SHE CAN CLUB is and who it’s for
What to do if you’re stuck in the “shitty should cycle”
Going against the grain and disrupting the norm
The power of perseverance
Permission to change and pivot from where your dream began
How to handle jealousy and turn it into something that serves you and others

019 | Reframing What it Means to Enjoy the Holidays Nov 24, 2022

We are officially in the thick of the holiday season, which is equal parts beautiful and stressful. One question that comes up a lot, that I know can create a lot of anxiety, is how to continue our health journeys and habits over the holidays. In today’s episode, I’m going to share some of my experiences and things that have helped me to answer that question all while reframing what it means to enjoy the holidays.

In this episode, we cover:

Releasing the hype and pressure that the holidays can bring; whether that’s around food, relatives, and overall expectations
Ways to reframe enjoyment and what is actually important to YOU
Focusing on approaching the holidays through your own filter and your own priorities
There is space for both; treating the holidays as special and focusing on traditions AND still taking care of my physical, mental, and emotional health

016 | Growth Through Healing Nov 03, 2022

In today’s episode, I share my candid thoughts on the intertwined connection between healing and growth. This conversation was sparked by a message on social media where someone from our community was sharing her own story and realization. Honestly, since that message my wheels have been really turning on what it means to grow alongside a healing journey. We often think that if we take the time to stop and focus on healing, that everything else has to pause and it will hold us back from growth. However, I’m learning that giving myself space to heal is actually allowing room for expansive growth in ways that I never saw coming.

In this episode, we cover:

What it means to grow through these seasons of healing
When’s the last time you did something just for the fun of it? With no purpose, no productivity, no learning - just for the fun of it
The impacts of being disconnected to my creativity

013 | How To Know When It's Time to Ask for Help Oct 13, 2022

Over the past few months I’ve tuned in to the ways that I’m ready to better support my mental health. With such an investment in habits and personal growth, I know so many tools to help me feel physically, mentally, and emotionally strong yet something still just doesn’t feel right. I know in my gut that there’s something bigger at hand that needs to be tended to in this season. Finally, this week, I made the call to ask for help. This episode feels vulnerable and a little scary to share, but I know that it’s an important conversation worth having. My hope is that it will help you consider the ways you might be ready to ask for help and pass along the bravery to make the calls you need.

In this episode, we cover:

What held me back from starting therapy sooner
Learning that sometimes we need more help beyond what we can control and do ourselves
My journey to finding myself again
How we aren’t meant to do life alone

008 | Overcoming Challenges as a Rural Business Owner with Aly Robins Sep 08, 2022

Today Aly Robins and I talked all about overcoming challenges as a rural business owner. We explored what it looks like to chase big dreams in a small town and how your business thrives when you have a healthy mindset.

Aly Robins is a marketing strategist and business coach for agriculture and rural businesses. She grew up on a ranch outside of Helena, Montana, and got a bachelor's degree in rangeland management. After feeling unfulfilled working at her 9-5 job, she decided to take her marketing business full time. Now, she helps her clients set up a website that converts people into paying customers as well as utilizing social media to increase sales. She's extremely passionate about helping businesses in rural and agriculture industries thrive rather than just survive.

In this episode about overcoming challenges as a rural business owner, we cover:

How to combat criticism from those who just don’t understand what we’re doing or why we’re doing it
The importance of being confidently rooted in our “why”
The power of community and surrounding yourself with others who support you and understand your mission
The unique challenges and opportunities of marketing a rural and/or ag business

So, as you’re listening, feel free to pause, take notes, and work through the process. This is a powerful exercise that will put your dreams in motion. You deserve to live a life with intention that fills your soul and helps you walk in your purpose.

The step-by-step process of taking all the dreams on your heart, putting them on paper, and choosing one to take action on

006 | Defining "Enough" and Finding Joy in the Journey with Coach Kiah Aug 25, 2022

Today I had the absolute joy of sitting down with my dear friend Kiah as we chatted about defining enough and finding joy in the journey. In this episode, we share our personal relationship with enoughness, the comparison game, and finding contentment. If you too have struggled to feel like you’re doing enough in a given day or season, I know you’ll connect with this episode. Our hope is that this episode brings light to the things that so many of us grapple with on a daily basis and provides tools to both recognize and overcome the mindset traps that keep us feeling overwhelmed and stuck.

In this episode and about defining enoughness, we cover:

The power of the thoughts we think about ourselves
Ways to combat the feelings of not being enough
Contentment is a moving target and sometimes we have to re-learn the same lessons over again in different parts of our lives such as motherhood, marriage, entrepreneurship, and our health journeys
The comparison trap we sometimes face and how to overcome
Accepting that with each season of life, there will be beautiful and encouraging parts as well as challenging and hard parts

005 | 5 Morning Habits for Success Aug 18, 2022

For most of my life, a morning routine was something that did not exist whatsoever. When I started my health journey back in 2019, I knew I had to get very intentional about how I started my days if I wanted to change my life and get where I wanted to go. When I reflect on everything that has happened over the past three years, I give so much credit to the habits that make up my morning routine.

In this episode about 5 morning habits for success, we cover:

The five habits that make up my morning routine
How I haven’t always been a morning person and creating and staying committed to this routine did not come naturally for me
The breakdown of each habit; why I do them and how each one has impacted my life and my growth journey
A bonus habit!

002 │ What Do You Actually Want Your Life to Look Like? with Katrina Klooster Aug 04, 2022

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

001 │ Do It Scared Aug 04, 2022

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

Trailer: Welcome to Gather in Growth! Jul 20, 2022

Where can I connect with fellow rural women who aren’t afraid to dream big dreams? How do I create and sustain daily habits that help me reach my personal and professional goals? Am I the only one that absolutely loves living in the middle of nowhere but wants to understand the world beyond my backyard? What should I do about the unshakable feeling that there’s more to life than just showing up? How do I break free from other people’s opinions and confidently live as my authentic self?

Welcome to Gather in Growth, a show created for passionate, growth-focused rural women like you. From mindset work and building strong habits to nerding out over personal growth books through the lense of life on a backroad, this is a show to leave you feeling joyful, inspired, ready to take action, and a little less alone.

Tune in for honest and heart-felt conversations with host, Emily Reuschel, and fellow thought leaders, to talk about personal growth and thriving as a rural woman. Here you’ll gain tactical strategies to bring your dreams to reality, real talk about the ups and downs of tackling goals, meaningful insight from fresh perspectives, and the confidence to step into the calling that’s been laid on your heart for a reason. If you crave to feel seen in a small town, you’re in the right place.

Whether you’re currently running on a backroad, shuffling kids to town, hopping along for a tractor ride, or three loads deep into folding laundry… we’re in this together. Absolutely anything is possible and I’m so grateful to be on this journey with YOU!

Grab you iced coffee and let’s dive in!
