Fueled by Love & Legacy

      After losing her brother in a tragic accident, Tara stepped in to help her father on the family farm. When her father later passed away, she found herself carrying the full weight of the operation- driven with purpose and a deep-rooted hope that her young son might farm one day too. With no roadmap and often little confidence, Tara leaned into the values her family instilled in her, learning to lead with grit, heart, and taking chances. Today, she shares her story to inspire others to rise in the face of fear, fueled by what matters most.

Growing Into Your Dreams Workshop - Emily Reuschel

      What does it mean to take action on your goals and dreams? Where do we even begin? It can be overwhelming and confusing to set goals, make a plan, and bring them to life. Oftentimes, it is because we aren’t in true alignment with how these dreams t into the 360° scope of our very real life. Throughout this workshop we’ll grow from wide net vision casting with “wouldn’t it be cool if” to looking at our life through the lens of career, emotional health, legacy, nances, and beyond. From there, we’ll walk through a signature (and duplicatable) process of laying out the steps to bring one goal to fruition. Participants will leave this workshop feeling relieved, focused, intentional, and ready to bring their personal and professional visions to life!

Rooted and Rising

      Women in agriculture are carrying more than ever—fields to tend, families to raise, businesses to grow, and communities to care for. But what happens when we’ve checked all the boxes and still feel a quiet ache for something more… honest? More alive? More us? In this inspiring and down-to-earth keynote, Emily Reuschel—farm wife, mom of four, podcast host, and personal growth facilitator—guides us through a powerful framework for coming home to ourselves in the midst of busy, beautiful, and often overwhelming lives. With heartfelt storytelling and tangible takeaways, she invites us to explore what it really means to know to deeply know, love, and trust ourselves. This session is a breath of fresh air—equal parts empowering and encouraging—for every woman who’s ready to rise, rooted in who she truly is.
