In this heart-expanding episode, Emily is joined by soul sister and sacred collaborator Ashley Ruggieri, an intuitive energy healer and co-host of the upcoming Wildlight Retreat in the Smoky Mountains. Together, they explore what it truly means to embrace change, trust your intuition, and lead from your soul during seasons of transition.
Ashley shares her journey of recently moving to Florida, how she navigated the unknown through intuitive guidance (including her children’s surprising spiritual insights), and how sound healing has become a powerful tool for emotional release and embodiment. Emily and Ashley also reflect on the magic of collaboration, the importance of building spiritual community, and how to stay grounded during eclipse season and beyond.
