**Wilder Podcast**

I’m Karsyn DuPree (a.k.a. Wildernessa): musician, lifestyle blogger, plant-lover, Nashville-dweller, intuitive enthusiast, feminist — you get it. The idea behind the Wilder Podcast is to create a space for Women, Wellness, and Weirdos. From body image, food, and exercise, to spirituality, feminism, business, and maybe even global issues, Wilder is a place to listen to other women’s stories, struggles, and accomplishments to share with other women that their not alone. Maybe this blogger, this musician, this author, this designer, whoever it is that I’m speaking with, has a journey that parallels with someone listening. Maybe they’ve worked hard to achieve their goals, and maybe they never thought they could. With the Wilder Podcast, we’ll explore so many different perspectives, always coming full circle to suck out all the inspiration we can find from our female superhero guests!

Flex your intuition muscles, find empowerment through exercise and ignite your inner-inspiration with Feminine Empowerment Guide, Mind Body Nutritionist and Pilates Instructor, Amanda Gyuran.
After years of struggling with exercise obsession and binge eating, Amanda slowly watched her hormonal health, relationships and creativity dwindle away. It’s now her mission to help women embody their feminine energy, banish body bashing and rock their relationship with fitness so they can live more connected, more vibrant lives and pursue their passions with purpose.
Using a unique combination of Eating Psychology, Holistic Nutrition, Radical Self Care Rituals and Mind Body Movement, Amanda works with creative women worldwide through private mentorship programs, Live Retreats, and her online Pilates course, The Liberated Movement Method.
In our first episode together, Amanda introduces herself and explains the way she found pilates, began incorporating intuitive exercise into her daily life, and growing so so connected with her body. I highly recommend taking a listen to that one prior to this episode if you haven't yet heard it!
In this episode, Amanda and I discuss her incredible upcoming To the Core Retreat, and the *incredible* offer she is extending to the listeners of the podcast! **That's 15% off the price of her retreat -- just mention me when you apply!**
How does this retreat stand out from others you may have seen? Though I'll let Amanda really go into it in the episode, she explains that this retreat is a **self-care sleepover,** with intuitive movement, nature play, sound healing therapy, connecting with your feminine, all nourishing meals, and lodging included. Did I mention it's in Encinitas, California? If you didn't know, it looks like the photo below.

**Episode #19 | Cookbooks, Choosing Plants, & The First Mess with Laura Wright** Mar 06, 2017
Show notes

SOURCE: thefirstmess.com

Last week, I tempted you all with a pretty delectable truffle recipe from The First Mess Cookbook, getting you somewhat acquainted with the author, Laura Wright, and what she's serving up. This week, she's debuting on the podcast, chatting with me on everything from why she chooses a plant-based lifestyle to how her cookbook came into fruition.
Oh, and did I mention her cookbook is available everywhere **TOMORROW**?
This book is unlike most plant-based cookbooks because Laura starts the book by really breaking down what materials and basic ingredients you need to have as a staple in your kitchen before you even begin. She helps readers lay the groundwork for always having delicious food on hand by helping them stock their pantry with whole grains, nuts, seeds & legumes, as well as keep fresh produce in their fridge. Not only does this approach make plant-based eating seem easy and achievable but also fun and exciting!

I can't even with this pizza recipe from her blog. Source: thefirstmess.com

I first heard a whisper of Laura's work and blog through our mutual friend, Jessica Murnane, whose cookbook I featured a few weeks ago. I was so intrigued by their conversations together on Jess's podcast, and I really began vibing with this girl's personality. I didn't wait long before I started reaching out to her on social media and then email, sealing her fate as a guest on my podcast!
Her approach to wellness is so refreshing, honest, and loving, keeping her primary focus on living a balanced lifestyle rather than always eating *perfectly.* We had a great time, and this conversation really flows like a chat between two friends. You're going to love it.

**Episode #18 | Understanding Feminine & Masculine Energy with Maddy Moon** Mar 03, 2017
Show notes

Hello, my dears! Another week, another blurb of inspiration from my corner of the world, and this week's episode couldn't come sooner. Sometimes, the podcast is exactly what I need to talk about in the moment, and this topic is no different.
This week, we have a returning guest, and I just couldn't be happier. Maddy Moon (of the Mind Body Musings Podcast) is our first guest to cue featured on the podcast more than once, and this time we're talking about one topic that I truly believe can change the way you view yourself and your current relationships (for the better).
We're discussing the harmony of feminine & masculine energy that exists in each and every one of us and how it affects everything from our relationships to our careers, and so much in between. We discuss how to recognize if there is an imbalance and ways in which you can learn to soften and embrace each and every side of you.
We strongly emphasize the concept that by embracing our femininity, we are never *less than.* In today's society, most of us identify with the concept of being a feminist, supporting equal rights, equal pay, and to be seen as no different than men. We tend to have this understanding that we aren't allowed to feel our emotions, nurture our families and partners, or act out of expression and desire. WRONG. In this episode we go into just how powerful the feminine essence is, and what magic can happen when we start stepping into these natural qualities and owning them as a part of who we are. As I said before, there is a balance here in each of us, and we go deeper into this in this episode, so don't miss it!
Feminine energy emotes, it makes art, has sex, exists from a slow space of enjoyment and understanding. Masculine energy works, isolates, controls, competes, and relies solely on themselves to get things done.

For my listeners only, Maddy is offering an extremely generous **$100 OFF** her Confidence Revival Retreat! Join her at the world-renown Kripalu Center for Yoga May 14-18 for this all-inclusive and life-changing experience.
**After you sign up and put your deposit down for the trip, shoot Maddy a quick email letting her know you're from my side of the world, and she'll give you the discount!**
The Confidence Revival Retreat is an intimate, all-inclusive gathering for women at the world-renown Kripalu Center for Yoga & Health in Stockbridge, Massachusetts. This holistic, juicy, spiritual center is guaranteed to welcome you into its arms however you are, but invite you to leave the most authentic version of yourself- the true version of yourself
Have you found yourself feeling less and less independent over the past several years? Do you feel anxiety when you look in the mirror or at a plate of food? Do you spend more time thinking about how to be safe and likable than you care to admit?
With 2017 comes the fresh energy of new beginnings. Imagine five days centered around creating the incredible energy you gain from your favorite inspirational book or motivational podcast, but in an intimate gathering where you can divulge your greatest dreams, fears and current on-goings with a group of soul-sisters from around the world.

Hey, loves!
Many of you may have caught my little announcement on Instagram earlier this week that I **know** the podcast is late premiering, and I'm so sorry for the delay!

That's right, Libby is in the process of launching her very own site to help **you** get your business off the ground and be your own boss.

Episode #16 | Diet Mentality, Bodies in the Media, and Why Emotional Eating isn't a Bad Thing with Isabel Foxen Duke Jan 31, 2017

Show notes

I know I always say this, but it's always so true. These week's episode is incredible. Who's the guest, you ask?! No other than the amazing....

ISABEL FOXEN DUKE

Isabel is a coach and speaker who helps women stop feeling crazy around food. She works intimately with women who struggle to get their faces out of the bottom of the brownie pan after depriving themselves of all sweets and junk food. She helps women quit diet mentality and embrace who they are, the shit in their lives, and how it applies to their food. She gets real, and it's incredible.

o, this is a big one. This is a hugely informative/eye-opening episode, and I can't wait for you to throw your headphones on and dive in.

Fuck headphones. Hook this shit up to two giant speakers, and blast it off the rooftops. We're getting real with Isabel Foxen Duke on diet-binge mentality, why emotional eating isn't necessarily a bad thing, and what we're actually seeing in the media and how it's influencing the way we perceive ourselves.

As I mention in the beginning of the episode, I've been a huge fan of Isabel's work for quite sometime now, and I was so pumped to flow with her on some of these important and deep-ass topics. You guys already know how much I like to talk about body image and food!

I don't want to keep you too long reading this blog post, so I'll let you dive right in!

Episode #15 | Buti Yoga, Neria Collective & Break Method with Bizzie Gold Jan 20, 2017

Show notes

Hello, my loves! I know so many of you have been staying tuned on all things the podcast has been doing so far this year, but I also know so many of you are NEW!

If this is your first time here, welcome! This interview was definitely a game-changer, and I think it answers a lot of questions you might have regarding Buti Yoga, spirituality, and much more.

On a side note, my lucky number is #15, so I knew this episode was going to be lit AF.

Have you figured out who I'm talking about yet? That's right! The founder of Buti Yoga, Neria Collective, the Break Method, the list goes on and on...

B I Z Z I E G O L D

One of the world's top Personal Development + Wellness Experts, Bizzie Gold has appeared on The Dr. Oz Show, TODAY, E!, EXTRA, Home & Family, Bethenny, ABC NEWS and MSNBC to discuss her unique approach to sustainable transformation that has garnered widespread Hollywood praise (past clients include Julia Roberts + Jennifer Love Hewitt, among others). Gold's off-the-cuff humor and focus on diligent accountability, helps clients achieve striking breakthroughs in record breaking time. An industry disruptor to the core, Gold is bulldozing the model of "coaching" that financially preys on countless women across the globe, replacing it with a sustainable model that puts the clients swift breakthrough at the forefront of all sessions.

In this episode, we discuss all of Bizzie's latest projects and how you can personally become a part of the action. The project that I'm most excited about would absolutely be the BREAK Method, a 12-week online course that walks you through all of the pathways that have made you who you are and how you work. She points out that this is not designed to be a coaching program that you will need to return to. No codependence, just tools for you to take with you and change your own reality.

The enrollment for BREAK Method ends on Sunday evening, so check it out and sign up now!

I also found her explanation of the Neria Collective so warm and inviting: Regardless of where you are in your spiritual development and unfolding: support and education are at your hands and ready to be tapped into around the pillars of protection, enlightenment, & expansion.

Intrigued yet? I thought so!

We also tackle a few controversial topics surrounding Buti Yoga, namely cultural appropriation and the misconception that Buti is merely yoga with twerking. This episode doesn't really go as much into the history of Buti yoga or Bizzie's personal history, but I highly recommend plugging in and checking out her interview on Episode 16 of the Yoga Revealed podcast.

Personally, I find Bizzie's energy contagious and will be going through my Buti Yoga Teacher Training next weekend here in Nashville. I really believe that this episode is an incredible introduction to who she is, but also speaks to people who know of Bizzie yet maybe feel a little intimidated by her work and success. She's anything but intimidating! She's an inspiring and warm individual, and it's beyond worth it to become involved in what she's doing.

Without further hesitation, let's dive into this episode!

Show Notes:

3:50 My journey with Buti yoga | 7:12 Bizzie on who she is and what she does | 8:30 Neria Collective | 15:15 Comparing Neria Collective to spiritual "gurus" | 25:00 How Neria fits in even if you have a religious practice | 27:30 Buti vs Neria in spirituality | 31:20 Why Buti isn't cultural appropriation | 37:30 BREAK Method | 43:50 Outro and a couple final words from me to checkout my new Shop where I link all of my favorite things!
