In this deeply personal solo episode, Emily shares a sacred goodbye to Gather in Growth—the name, the container, the version of herself who first hit record nearly three years ago. What began as a cozy, soul-nourishing space for women navigating personal and professional growth has transformed into something wilder, deeper, and more expansive than she could’ve imagined. This isn’t an ending—it’s an evolution.

Emily pulls back the curtain on the pivotal conversation that sparked this change, the resistance she felt at first, and the slow, undeniable awakening that followed. This episode is for anyone standing on the edge of their next chapter, unsure of what it will look like—but certain they can’t stay where they’ve been. It’s an invitation to evolve, to trust, and to boldly walk into the unknown. Wild & Waking is not just a new name—it’s the next era. And it starts now.

In this episode, I explore:

  • The origin story behind the name change and the moment Emily realized Gather in Growth no longer fully reflected the depth of her work
  • Resistance to letting go of a beloved brand identity—and the eventual surrender to what was asking to be birthed
  • Why Wild & Waking feels like a soul-level fit for this next chapter of Emily’s journey and community
  • How Emily’s own spiritual awakening and deep dive into the divine feminine has been reshaping her voice, vision, and work
  • The messy, nonlinear path of evolution—and the importance of staying with the questions even when clarity hasn’t arrived
  • What it means to shed subconscious masks, release performative safety, and embody true belonging within yourself
  • A love letter to the women who feel like they don’t quite fit anywhere else—and the invitation to come home to your wild, awakened self
