There comes a point in a woman's becoming when the identities that once helped her survive begin to limit how fully she can live. Being the good girl, the responsible one, the peacekeeper, or the high achiever may have earned you safety, belonging, and approval, but eventually, those same identities can become the ceilings of your expansion. You may have built a beautiful life filled with people and work you genuinely love, yet still feel an inexplicable ache beneath it all: a restlessness, a tightness, a sense that the woman you have been can no longer carry you where you are going.In this solo episode of Wild & Waking, I'm exploring the descent that begins when good-girl conditioning and lifelong performance stop working. Drawing from my own experience with postpartum depression, identity loss, religious and political deconstruction, spiritual awakening, and the long process of becoming someone new, I share why personal growth rarely feels like the shiny, upward evolution we've been promised. Sometimes becoming yourself feels more like dying. It asks you to grieve old identities, walk through uncertainty, meet the parts of yourself you were taught to fear, and remain in the darkness long enough for something more honest to emerge.We've been conditioned to treat difficult seasons as problems to solve quickly, but not every season is meant to be rushed, optimized, or transformed into an inspiring lesson. Sometimes the darkness is the initiation. It strips away the need to be good, palatable, productive, and universally understood, revealing the self-trust and sovereign power that performance could never give you. This episode is for the woman standing between who she was trained to be and who she knows she is becoming; the woman learning that she is not falling apart, but being initiated into a deeper, freer, more fully embodied version of herself.In this episode, I explore:How good-girl conditioning teaches women to seek safety, belonging, and approval through performanceWhy the identities that helped you survive can eventually become the ceilings of your personal growth and expansionThe hidden ache of outgrowing a beautiful life that still looks good from the outsideWhy becoming your authentic self can feel like falling apart, losing yourself, or experiencing an identity deathThe descent between good-girl performance and feminine sovereigntyMy experience with postpartum depression, identity loss, grief, and emerging from a prolonged season of darknessHow religious deconstruction, political awakening, and spiritual evolution can unravel the person you were taught to beWhy healing and personal transformation are not always linear, positive, or meant to be rushedThe difference between self-improvement rooted in performance and growth rooted in freedom, self-trust, and authenticityHow difficult seasons can become initiations into deeper self-awareness, embodied power, and sovereign leadershipReleasing the need to be palatable, universally understood, or responsible for everyone else's experience of youLearning to trust the messy, uncertain space between who you were and who you are becomingWhy meeting your darkness, emotional depth, intuition, and power is essential to reclaiming your whole selfWhat it means to emerge from the unraveling as a freer, more sovereign, fully initiated womanBe sure to hit subscribe so you never miss the latest episode!Connect with Emily:Website: www.EmilyReuschel.comInstagram: @emilyreuschelFacebook: Emily ReuschelLinkedIn: Emily ReuschelJoin my Book Insiders List: Sign up here!Resources and Links:Learn more and sign up for VeilFallEpisode 189 | The Wild & Waking Journey: RiseSign up here to get the inside scoop to my book writing journey!Book me as a speaker for your next event - email inquiries to emilyreuschel@gmail.com or schedule a call hereWild & Waking – Produced by Jill Carr Podcasting | Learn MoreMentioned in this episode:Join Emily and Kelsey Anderson for VeilFall, an intimate Samhain and Full Hunter's Moon women's retreat happening October 23–26, 2026, at Blue Star Retreat Center in Columbia Falls, Montana, near Glacier National Park.

Host Taylor Inman covers the week's biggest headlines from Northwest Montana. Columbia Falls Community Market is racing to raise $1 million by Sept. 7 to buy the land it operates on, while Flathead County has picked an architect to rebuild the 118-year-old grandstands at the fairgrounds. Crews finished capping a leaking, century-old oil well near Kintla Lake in Glacier National Park, and operators say the Flathead Indian Irrigation Project is holding up despite a federal hiring freeze cutting its staff. Plus, Flathead Electric Cooperative's Roundup for Safety program awarded $10,000 to local search and rescue teams this round. Chapters:00:00 - Intro00:44 - Columbia Falls Community Market's $1 Million Deadline02:44 - Architect Selected to Rebuild Century-Old Fairground Grandstands04:49 - Century-Old Oil Well Capped Near Kintla Lake in Glacier National Park06:43 - Flathead Indian Irrigation Project Nears End of Season09:11 - Flathead Electric Awards Roundup for Safety GrantsNorthwest Montana deserves strong news reporting.

In this episode of Wild & Waking, I'm joined by bestselling author and spiritual teacher Tracee Stanley for a conversation about living ritual, presence, purpose, and what it means to recognize the sacredness already woven into our everyday lives. Tracee's newest book, Living Ritual: Infuse Each Day with Purpose and Spirit, offers an invitation to move beyond the idea that spiritual practice has to be elaborate, time-consuming, or separate from the rest of our lives, and instead discover the small, meaningful ways we can bring intention and devotion into the moments we're already living.We talk about ritual as an antidote to so much of what defines modern life: distraction, disconnection, isolation, and the feeling that we're constantly moving without necessarily knowing what we're moving toward. Tracee shares how even the smallest rituals can help us slow down enough to notice what is here, reconnect with ourselves, and remember our relationship to something larger than ourselves. This isn't about adding another practice to the never-ending list of things we “should” be doing, it's about shifting the way we inhabit the life that is already unfolding around us.Ultimately, this conversation is an invitation to remember that the Divine isn't waiting for us somewhere outside of our ordinary lives. It is already here - in our relationships, our homes, our bodies, our connection with nature, and the tiny moments we so easily overlook. You don't need hours of uninterrupted time or a perfectly curated spiritual practice to live with greater purpose and spirit. Sometimes, you simply need to slow down long enough to notice the sacred that has been dancing alongside you all along.In this episode, we explore:What ritual really means and how it differs from habits, routines, and performative spiritual practicesHow to create simple daily rituals and micro-rituals that bring more meaning, presence, and intention into everyday lifeCreating accessible spiritual practices for householders, mothers, caregivers, and people living full, busy livesHow ritual can become an antidote to distraction, disconnection, isolation, and lack of purposeThe relationship between ritual, mindfulness, presence, and nervous system regulationHow everyday moments can become opportunities to connect with the sacred and the DivineThe power of nature connection and seasonal living as pathways back to ourselves and our interconnectednessHonoring the cycles of birth, death, rebirth, transition, and change rather than resisting the seasons that feel uncomfortableHow ritual can help us reconnect with purpose, meaning, belonging, and our relationship to something greater than ourselvesThe importance of honoring ourselves in every season of life, rather than waiting until life feels peaceful or perfect to practice presenceBe sure to hit subscribe so you never miss the latest episode!Connect with Tracee:Visit Tracee Stanley's WebsiteFollow Tracee on InstagramFollow Tracee on ThreadsExplore Living Ritual + Get the Free RitualConnect with Emily:Website: www.EmilyReuschel.comInstagram: @emilyreuschelFacebook: Emily ReuschelLinkedIn: Emily ReuschelJoin my Book Insiders List: Sign up here!Resources and Links:Sign up here to get the inside scoop to my book writing journey!Book me as a speaker for your next event - email inquiries to emilyreuschel@gmail.com or schedule a call hereWild & Waking – Produced by Jill Carr Podcasting | Learn MoreMentioned in this episode:Join Emily and Kelsey Anderson for VeilFall, an intimate Samhain and Full Hunter's Moon women's retreat happening October 23–26, 2026, at Blue Star Retreat Center in Columbia Falls, Montana, near Glacier National Park.

In Episode 213 of Wild & Waking, I'm joined by manifestation coach, former public policy researcher, and speaker Sridaya Srivatsan for a fascinating conversation about identity, influence, and the stories shaping the way we understand ourselves and the world around us. Together, we explore a question most of us rarely stop to ask: Are your beliefs actually yours—or are they inherited ideas you've repeated so many times they now feel like truth?We explore identity repatterning, manifestation, and the disorienting space between who you have been and who you are becoming. Sridaya shares how the identities we inhabit shape what we believe is available to us and why changing our thoughts intellectually isn't always enough when our bodies are still holding old survival patterns. This is where spirituality, psychology, somatic healing, and science begin to meet.This conversation is an invitation to examine the stories beneath your beliefs without shame, release identities that no longer fit, and consciously choose what you want to carry forward. Because you are not required to remain loyal to a version of yourself built from inherited expectations, outdated information, or the need to belong. You are allowed to change your mind, rewrite the story, and become someone new.In this episode, we explore:How family, culture, religion, social media, and societal conditioning shape our identity, worldview, and subconscious beliefsWhy facts alone rarely change minds, and how belonging, emotional safety, morality, and confirmation bias influence what we believeThe psychology of disinformation, political polarization, online influence, echo chambers, and social media algorithmsHow inherited beliefs, childhood conditioning, and survival patterns silently shape our relationships, careers, choices, and sense of selfHow to recognize when an identity, belief system, or personal narrative no longer aligns with who you are becomingWhy changing your mind or questioning long-held beliefs can feel like grief, identity loss, or a spiritual ego deathIdentity repatterning and how to rewrite limiting beliefs without rejecting the version of you who developed themA more grounded approach to manifestation beyond positive thinking, vision boards, toxic positivity, and “high-vibe” spiritualityHow to question your beliefs without shame, reclaim your personal agency, and consciously choose the stories shaping your realityWhat it means to develop generational emotional intelligence and create meaningful change within yourself, your family, and your communityBe sure to hit subscribe so you never miss the latest episode!Connect with Sridaya:Join the Manifestation ClinicFollow Sridaya on InstagramConnect with Sridaya on ThreadsConnect with Emily:Website: www.EmilyReuschel.comInstagram: @emilyreuschelFacebook: Emily ReuschelLinkedIn: Emily ReuschelJoin my Book Insiders List: Sign up here!Resources and Links:Sign up here to get the inside scoop to my book writing journey!Book me as a speaker for your next event - email inquiries to emilyreuschel@gmail.com or schedule a call hereWild & Waking – Produced by Jill Carr Podcasting | Learn MoreMentioned in this episode:Join Emily and Kelsey Anderson for VeilFall, an intimate Samhain and Full Hunter's Moon women's retreat happening October 23–26, 2026, at Blue Star Retreat Center in Columbia Falls, Montana, near Glacier National Park.

During our time in Maine this month, we had the pleasure and honor to spend time with artist, gallery director, and visionary Whitney Vosburgh. It was a wonderful experience to meet with him in Columbia Falls and tour Mothers Art Gallery built in 1841 and restored starting in 1970. The building has architectual character that includes weathered timbers, rustic finishes, and art displayed with an aesthetic of authenticity and honor to the history of Maine. Here is more about Whitney Vosburgh. He has an MA in Religious Leadership for Social Change from the Graduate Theological Union, and a B.F.A. from Parsons School of Design in New York City, his expertise on  the Future of Work has been featured in four books, including a bestseller by Dan Pink. When Whitney is not focusing on business consulting, speaking, and writing, he can be found making art, and growing Mothers Art Gallery into a destination gallery that brings the best of the world of art to Maine and the best of Maine's art to the world. He does this all in a lovingly restored 1841 barn in the heart of Downeast, Maine. This episode took place inside Mothers Art Gallery on Wednesday, July 16, 2025. Thank you very much to Whitney Vosburgh for his thoughtful conversation and hospitality. Mothers Art GalleryInstagram for Mothers Art GalleryWork The Future: Today

COLUMBIA FALLS CITY COUNCIL CANDIDATE CHRIS SEMOK TRT: 12:26 FROM FLORIDA/FORMER HOMELESS/AFFORDABLE HOUSING PLATFORM

It's Wednesday, June 4th, A.D. 2025. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Jonathan Clark and Adam McManus Christians persecuted in Mali, Africa by military junta Christians are facing increased persecution in Mali after the military junta initiated a crackdown in May. The military of the West African nation dissolved all political parties in the crackdown. Jo Newhouse with Open Doors Sub-Saharan Africa said, “Christians in Mali have faced increasing persecution over the past few years. By closing the democratic space, and further encroaching on civil liberties, the junta is adding unwelcome pressure to an already volatile situation.” Please pray for the church in Mali, Africa. The country is ranked 14th on the Open Doors' World Watch List of the most difficult places to be a Christian.  Ukrainian evangelist: Thousands coming to Christ A Ukrainian evangelist addressed the European Congress on Evangelism in Berlin, Germany last Thursday. Evangelist David Karcha reported that Ukrainian Evangelicals have been ministering to their fellow countrymen since Russia invaded the country in 2022. Churches are seeing thousands of people come to Christ during the war. Karcha said, “In the world's eyes, Ukraine is a story of war. But in God's eyes, it is a story of revival, a story that reminds us all that the Gospel advances.” 2 Corinthians 10:4-5 says, “For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds … and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God.” American economy predicted to grow by only 1.6% this year The Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development cut its economic growth outlook for the United States. The group forecasts the U.S. economy will expand by 1.6% this year, down from its previous forecast of 2.2%. Experts also expect global economic growth to slow this year in the wake of U.S President Donald Trump's tariff policies. They also noted, “trade uncertainty and economic policy uncertainty has reached unprecedented levels.” Dept of Ed. shuns homosexual pride month, celebrates Title IX month To its credit, the U.S. Department of Education is not celebrating homosexual pride month in the month of June. Instead, the Trump administration is recognizing June as “Title IX Month.” Title IX of the Education Amendments was signed into law by President Richard Nixon on June 23, 1972. It prohibits discrimination on the basis of sex in education programs. However, the Biden administration tried to inject transgender protections into the law. Under Trump's Education Department, the administration is promising to protect women's and girls' sports from such transgender activism.  Muslim immigrant used flamethrower on peaceful pro-Israel group in CO An immigrant, motivated by anti-Semitic beliefs, has been accused of brutally attacking a peaceful pro-Israel group advocating for Israeli hostages held captive by the Muslim terrorist group known as Hamas, reports The Blaze. Mohamed Sabry Soliman, a 45-year-old Egyptian national in the United States despite reportedly overstaying his visa, is suspected of attacking a group of individuals participating in a walk in Boulder, Colorado at 2:00pm on June 1st. According to CNN, he allegedly used a makeshift flamethrower and Molotov cocktails to set people on fire at an event in support of hostages in Gaza as he yelled “Free Palestine.” He injured at least 12 people. The victims ranged in age from 52 to 88 years old, including a Holocaust survivor. The U.S. Attorney General's office has charged Soliman with a hate crime. The attack targeted the “Run for Their Lives” group, a grassroots organization that gathered on Pearl Street on Sunday evening to support the release of the hostages captured by the terrorist group in October 2023. According to the FBI, the Jewish group chapter gathers weekly. Maya Bajayo is the organizer of the “Run for Their Lives” group. BAJAYO: “We're here only to raise awareness for the hostages. It makes it even more scary for us that it could have been us.” Amazingly, Bajayo, who has been leading the walk for 83 Sundays straight, refuses to stop walking despite the threat of violence. She explained why to Channel 9 News. BAJAYO: “To show people that we're still here, the problem hasn't been solved, and the hostages need to be released. We're just not going to give up on them.” Oklahoma Governor: "Life begins at conception.” During June, Oklahoma is celebrating  a “Month for Life.” Republican Governor Kevin Stitt signed the proclamation Monday. He wrote on X, “Life begins at conception. We're committed to supporting moms every step. And God has a plan for every life.” The proclamation encouraged citizens to join the Oklahoma March for Life on Saturday, June 7. 10th anniversary of Supreme Court's pro-homosexual marriage ruling The U.S. Supreme Court handed down its Obergefell v. Hodges decision 10 years ago on June 26, 2015. The infamous ruling requires states to recognize same-sex unions as marriages.  A new survey from Gallup found that 68% of U.S. adults support faux same-sex marriage, up from 60% in 2015. However, that support has plateaued over the last five years.  No one shared why they like The Worldview in 5 Minutes And finally, I would love to know why you enjoy listening to The Worldview in 5 Minutes.  Do you like the variety of stories, the reports on the persecuted church, the Christian worldview, the 2 Scriptures, the soundbites, the links to additional information in our transcript, or the occasional uplifting, positive story?  Email me 2-6 sentences and include your name, city, and state.  Surprisingly, I did not get a single email on Tuesday despite the fact that tens of thousands of people listen to the newscast or read the transcript.  Send your email to Adam@TheWorldview.com. 18 listeners gave $4,202 to fund The Worldview newscast Toward this week's $30,875 goal to fund one-fourth of The Worldview newscast budget by this Friday, June 6th, 18 listeners stepped up to the plate.  Our thanks to Joshua in Bolivar, Missouri who gave $30 as well as Rachelle in Longview, Washington, Margaret in White Salmon, Washington, Jeremy in Swansea, Wales in the United Kingdom, and Karena in Eugene, Oregon – each of whom gave $50. We appreciate Dick in Hoyt, Kansas, Hannah in San Jose, California, David in Plano, Texas, Adam in Gile, Wisconsin, and David in Crestview, Florida – each of whom gave $100. We're grateful to God for Hannah in Green Valley, Arizona who gave $132,Genevieve in Wheat Ridge, Colorado who pledged $20/month for 12 months for a gift of $240, Kristen in Columbia Falls, Montana who gave $250, and Luis and Patricia in Kyle, Texas who pledged $25/month for 12 months for a gift of $300. And we appreciate the generosity of Steven in Coatesville, Pennsylvania who gave $350, James in Cardiff, Wales in the United Kingdom who pledged $50/month for 12 months for a gift of $600, Patricia in  Winfield, Iowa who gave $700, and Larry and Sue in Crooked Creek , Alberta, Canada who pledged $75/month for 12 months for a gift of $900. Those 18 listeners gave a total of $4,202. Ready for our new grand total? Drum roll please.  (Drum toll sound effect) $4,932 (People clapping sound effect)  That means by this Friday, we still need to raise $26,873. We missed our goal of 20 donors on Tuesday by only 2 donors.  In order to hit our goal by this Friday, June 6th, we need to raise $8,957 on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday.   Toward that end, I wonder if there might be 4 Worldview listeners who could give $1,000.  Another 8 who would pledge $50/month. And 12 more who would pledge $25/month.  That would enable us to raise $11,800 on Wednesday. Maybe we can hit 20 donors today.

Today, we're heading to the stunning Flathead Valley of Montana, just outside Glacier National Park, to speak with the owner of Bad Rock Bed and Breakfast Inn. For the past six seasons, Bill Evans and his wife, Roslyn, have run the traditional bed and breakfast on a working farm, complete with hay fields, chickens and soon, goats. As the fifth-largest bed and breakfast in Montana, Bad Rock offers more than cozy accommodations; it delivers unforgettable Glacier experiences and a warm, family-style atmosphere where guests and staff feel right at home. While Bad Rock's 2025 season is already staffed, Bill is now recruiting for 2026 and beyond. He's looking for couples who enjoy teamwork, have a positive attitude and can communicate well. Although solo applicants might be considered on a case-by-case basis, the best fit tends to be couples willing to jump in where needed and help each other out. Winter positions are available as well, although those are volunteer-based and focused more on house-sitting and light maintenance. Bad Rock Bed and Breakfast isn't your typical Workamping job. It's a charming inn nestled in Columbia Falls, Mont., where hospitality meets heart and hard work comes with breathtaking views of Big Sky Country. Just 18 miles from the west entrance of Glacier National Park, Bad Rock serves as a basecamp for adventurers, and Bill and Roslyn make sure guests and Workampers are well taken care of. For Workampers, the opportunity includes more than just a full-hookup RV site and a $600 monthly stipend. It's a chance to be part of a small, close-knit team where everyone wears a couple of hats and contributes to the smooth running of the bed-and-breakfast inn as well as the farm. Whether it's cooking hearty breakfasts, gardening, landscaping, tending to chickens, or helping with light handyman tasks, there's something to match a wide range of Workamper interests and skill sets. Workampers typically work just three hours a day, five days a week. That leaves plenty of time to explore the park, float down the river, or enjoy the many local attractions, including rodeos and farmers markets or ziplining and kayaking. Bill and Roslyn even plan community activities for the staff to make the experience feel more like an extended family outing than just a summer job. If you're interested in joining the Bad Rock team, visit their website at www.badrock.com, check out their reviews on Workamper News, or give Bill a call directly at 406-892-2829. You'll want to keep your resume on Workamper News up to date, because Bill relies heavily on the platform's resume builder when selecting candidates. So if Montana is on your bucket list and you're seeking a Workamping experience rooted in community, nature and fun, Bad Rock Bed and Breakfast just might be your next great adventure. Today's episode is sponsored by Workamper News. Much more than just a job-listing website, when you put the tools of this professional service into action, you'll find out just how easy it can be to turn your Workamping dreams into reality. A Workamper membership opens the door to a one-stop-shop for all-things Workamping. Being the original resource for Workamping, you'll find the largest number of job listings, be able to connect with a community of Workampers, and view resources compiled by experts who have been enjoying the RV lifestyle for many years. If you're serious about leading a successful and enjoyable Workamping lifestyle, then membership is for you. Join today at www.workamper.com.  Embark on new adventures today with the support of Workamper News behind you! That's all for this week's show.

Thank you for listening, and if you like these interviews, please consider leaving a review wherever you download the episodes.

The Glacier View Mountain Trail north of Columbia Falls begins on the border of Glacier National Park. This out-and-back trail is about 8 miles roundtrip, and despite beginning your ascent via switchbacks, the first few miles are still quite steep. But the view at the top is worth the effort. Looking east from the summit, you'll be greeted with gorgeous views of the North Fork Flathead River and a unique view of Glacier without entering the park.

Stale, boring recruitment brochures are played out and offer little value for candidates seeking their next city or county manager opportunity. Many of them contain boiler plate language or rehash text used in a previous announcement for a different community. Isn't it time we re-imagine what a public sector executive recruitment should look like? City managers are in an incredibly risky and volatile line of work. Resignations and terminations hurt their spouse and children.They can be financially devastating and destroy a person's confidence. Isn't it time we start thinking more about the candidates and try to provide them with actionable information so that they can do a better job of ascertaining whether they believe they are a good fit for that community and governing body? I want to introduce you to a new series of podcast episodes called: "City Manager Wanted" This is where I interview key individuals involved in the recruitment process with the goal of providing a more detailed and comprehensive examination of the opportunity. City management is a "people business." So, doesn't it make sense to try and get a better understanding of the people these candidates will work with? In this episode, we examine the opportunity in beautiful Columbia Falls, Montana.
