In this episode, Elaine connects with podcaster, agriculture entrepreneur, mom of two, and farm wife, Emily Reuschel. You’ll hear about Emily’s journey from fourth-grade teacher, to non-profit leader, and how she eventually ended up as a leader for rural women in the world of entrepreneurship, podcasting, and coaching.
Emily talks about her own personal development, the habits that have supported her success, both personally and professionally, and what it means to invest in yourself, transform your mindset, and start living life on purpose. You’ll discover that it IS possible to heal, grow, and experience joy in alignment with the things you truly want.
“…sometimes it’s [about] putting yourself out there and also healing within yourself, to the point that you’re not looking to someone else to fill something you need [and] finding people who are mutually healthy. And also, not expecting one particular person or one particular friend group to be…you[r] [everything].” -Emily Reuschel
