In this episode of Safe In My Body, I sit down with Emily Reuschel, a mom, entrepreneur, and community builder who shares her journey from motherhood burnout and survival mode to learning how to trust herself and her body again.

Emily opens up about postpartum depletion, chasing checklists, and the messy middle of realizing: “I have all these blessings… and I was miserable.” Together, we talk about what it really takes to move beyond survival, heal old patterns, and begin living with intention.

✨ What you’ll hear in this episode:

• The reality of motherhood burnout and postpartum exhaustion

• Why “checking the boxes” doesn’t always equal happiness

• How Emily began her healing journey rooted in self-love, not shame

• The power of listening to your body and building self-trust

• Redefining success and letting go of hustle culture

If you’ve ever felt stuck in survival mode, or wondered how to reconnect with yourself in the middle of motherhood, this conversation will remind you that you’re not alone — and that you can build a life that feels true to you.
