Listen to The Art Behind Building an Intentional Life with Emily Reuschel on: Apple Podcasts | Spotify | Stitcher | Google Podcasts
Today on the show, we discuss everything from proper goal setting, to empowering the next generation with our guest Emily Reuschel. Emily is a farmer’s wife, mom of two, entrepreneur, sought-after motivational speaker, podcast host, and the leader of retreats and masterminds that propel rural women toward their truest, most-aligned goals and priorities.
Emily was at her dream job - benefits, flexible hours, incredible coworkers, the option to bring her kids to work! - when she decided to *stop* ignoring the voice in her heart that told her she was meant for something different and *start* trying to figure out what that was… even if it involved leaving said cushy job to start her own business. (Which is exactly what she did!)
She now helps other rural women do the same - to get clear on what they want, release the inner dialogue that tells them it’s impossible, and go after the goals that are keeping them awake at night …. without giving up the small-town life they love.
In this episode we cover:
Emily’s passion project of helping rural women navigate their own personal professional growth journeys.
How living the entrepreneurial lifestyle can give you and your family the flexibility you desire.
Teaming up with the change in the world around us to promote growth and stability within Ag businesses.
How to address underlying fears in a healthy way.
Taking a front seat to controlling what the next generation is taught.
