What does it mean to be truly wild? Not reckless. Not unhinged. But deeply, unapologetically yourself.

In this episode, we sit down with their dear friend Jen Wyatt, founder of Wander Free Wellness, retreat leader, ritual guide, and creator of transformational experiences for women rooted in freedom, wildness, truth, and aliveness.

Together, they explore what it means to return to our authentic nature and how so many of us spend years navigating the expectations, conditioning, and beliefs that pull us away from who we truly are.

Jen shares her journey from growing up in the forests of New Hampshire, to teaching in Boston Public Schools, to experiencing a health crisis that ultimately led her into the world of holistic healing, yoga, ritual, and women's work. She reflects on the role that grief, self-trust, nature, and embodied healing have played in helping her reconnect with herself and build a life aligned with what makes her feel most alive.

In this conversation, we explore:

• What "wildness" really means and why it's often misunderstood
• The influence of Women Who Run With the Wolves on Jen's work
• Freedom, authenticity, and shedding the layers of conditioning
• Nature as refuge, teacher, and guide
• Ritual, myth, archetypes, and the power of storytelling
• Why being fully alive includes grief, rage, longing, joy, and pleasure
• Women's conditioning around self-expression and truth
• Jen's health journey and the turning point that changed her life
• The connection between self-trust and personal freedom
• Retreats, transformation, and creating spaces for women to remember who they are
• Ancestors, family stories, and the people who shape our path
• The advice Jen wishes she had received sooner: trust yourself and follow what makes you feel alive

This conversation is rich with stories, wisdom, laughter, and reflections on what it means to live in deeper relationship with ourselves, the natural world, and the life that is calling us forward.

In this powerful conversation, Lindsay and Scott sit down with Emily Hanger, a dancer, acupuncturist, Holistic Pelvic Care Practitioner, and psychic medium whose work bridges embodiment, intuition, healing, and the wisdom of the natural world.

Emily shares how dance quite literally saved her life more than once. From a young age, movement taught her embodiment, body confidence, and how to read energy in the people around her. After earning her BFA in Dance and Choreography and spending four years immersed in New York City's modern dance scene, a life-altering injury brought her career to an unexpected halt. What followed was a period of depression, a pregnancy loss, and ultimately an acupuncture treatment that changed the course of her life.

That first acupuncture session sparked a calling. Emily went on to earn her Master's in Oriental Medicine from the National University of Natural Medicine and has spent the last twelve years supporting clients through her private practice, where she continues to witness the profound intelligence of the body and the healing process.

The conversation takes a deeply personal turn as Emily reflects on the stillbirth of her daughter Josephine in 2017. Through grief, Emily found herself reconnecting with psychic and mediumship abilities that had been present since childhood. Guided in many ways by Josephine's spirit, she began developing her gifts more intentionally and now helps others strengthen their own intuition and spirit connection through her In Service to Spirit Mentorship.

Emily also shares her experiences receiving messages from ancestors during treatments, her relationship with the powerful plant ally datura, and her emerging work with intuitive voice and sound healing. Through spontaneous songs and tones, she helps clients access deep states of nervous system regulation, emotional release, ancestral connection, and embodied healing.

This episode is a beautiful reminder that healing rarely follows the path we expect—and that some of our greatest challenges can become gateways into deeper purpose, connection, and trust.

Have you ever wondered what plants might teach us if we truly learned how to listen?

In this deeply inspiring conversation, we sit down with renowned herbalist, author, international teacher, and founder of Nature Evolutionaries, Pam Montgomery, to explore the profound world of plant consciousness, co-creative partnership with nature, and healing the "wound of separation" that many of us experience in modern life.

Pam shares her lifelong journey of connecting with the intelligence and wisdom of the natural world - from her childhood in Appalachia to decades of teaching people how to cultivate meaningful relationships with plants. We explore what becomes possible when we move beyond seeing plants as resources and begin relating to them as teachers, allies, and elders.

The conversation also dives into the transformative power of plant initiations, including ceremonial experiences with rose and hawthorn, ancestral healing, belonging, and the deep remembrance that can emerge when we reconnect with the living world around us.

Whether you're new to herbalism, curious about plant spirit medicine, or longing to deepen your connection with nature, this episode offers a powerful invitation to slow down, listen, and remember that we are not separate from the natural world—we are part of it.
