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!
The Wilder Podcast | Episode #11 | Gala Darling
Oct 27, 2016
Show notes
So, this podcast episode is especially important to me --- however, I'm pretty sure I say that almost every single time. It's not that each guest isn't special or interesting to me in some way, but with this week's guest, I truly believe she helped me change some negative patterns I found hard to shake in my own life. With the help of her book, I became more inspired and empowered than I've ever felt!
Gala is an author, speaker, teacher, and overall badass from New Zealand, though she currently resides in New York City. Gala's journey began much like any of our own, struggling with food and feeling unhappy and dissatisfied in her body. Through tapping (EFT), Gala was able to cure herself of her eating disorder, and move forward to make ripples in the way others feel and care about themselves. She has since created numerous courses and methods to helping women take care of themselves, aiding them with tools they can implement and change their lives for good!
I'm sure you heard me preach about her book Radical Self-Love a few months ago, and I cannot wait to share all of the incredible and juicy bits of inspiration she gives us in this podcast episode. In fact, I think I should just refuse to go any further with this description...
I'm also thrilled to announce the sponsor for this week's episode is Sun Basket! Need a quick, healthy, and easy way to take care of yourself on busy weeknights? Sun Basket is an incredible whole-foods based meal service with paleo, vegetarian, and gluten free options! Personally, we are OBSESSED. IF YOU WANT TO CLAIM YOUR $30 OFF DISCOUNT, CLICK HERE!

So, as some of you may have noticed, I've posted several times about my love for my brand new free leggings from Girlfriend Collective -- a sustainable, fair-trade brand which is offering women a chance to try out their product for just the cost of shipping. Literally, all you have to do is pay $20 shipping and share the word with your friends via Facebook to get your own personal pair of these luxury boutique leggings.

Welllll, I had the honor of speaking with one of the founders and the Creative Director of the brand, Ellie Dinh, on this week's podcast episode! Ellie explains how the brand came to be, and gives us some unique insight on working side-by-side with her husband, Quang, whom she founded the company with. With the help of several other masterminds, the couple was able to bring Girlfriend to life and make these free leggings available to the masses.
If you haven't yet gotten your pair, you can head on over to their website, or take a listen first to see what they're all about! I promise you, you will NOT be disappointed!

The Wilder Podcast | Episode #9 | Amanda Gyuran

Show notes
Sigh. I'm still drifting on a cloud after this morning's interview with Amanda Gyuran, aka my new best friend. I think that regardless of where you stand with your relationship with exercise, you're about to have your mind BLOWN by this podcast episode.
Amanda Gyuran is a certified Eating Psychology Coach and Pilates Instructor who helps women transform their relationship with food and fitness. Clients learn to ditch the diets, restriction, and self-sabotage while finding pleasure in all areas of life. Amanda works with women worldwide to create personalized mind body nutrition programs that focus on body acceptance, all while achieving and setting goals in a loving, nourishing way.
After moving to Manhattan to pursue a career as a fashion designer at the early age of 18, Amanda began consuming the message of rail-thin perfectionism as the ideal look of her chosen industry -- resulting in a bout of exercise addiction and loss of interest in her art all together. She began pursuing health coaching, eating psychology, and through working with her own coach, she was able to rebuild and restore her relationship with her body and movement. She inspires women everyday with daily inspiration via her Instagram captions, or one-on-one with her life-changing coaching programs.
I'm not going to spoil of of the juicy shizz we cover in this episode, because I want you to listen to the entire thing and soak it all in! You're absolutely going to want to listen to this every day, or possibly take notes to read and affirm just how incredible your body already is.
In this episode, we also briefly talk about my decision to re-incorporate eggs and now sprouted wheat into my diet (after three years living gluten-free). That being said, if this is something you've been wanting to do as well, Amanda gives some excellent tips for taking it slow and moving forward in the powerful experimentation that is listening to our bodies.
Pretty delicious, huh?! ;)

Honestly, I don't even know where to begin with this week's guest. To say she's changed my life would be an understatement, seeing as she's one of the main reasons I started the Wilder Podcast in the first place! Can you guess who I'm talking about?!
Over the past few years, Maddy Moon has impacted thousands of women through her Mind Body Musings podcast, private coaching, books, courses, retreats, videos, blog posts, and more.

She's diving deeper into the reasons we use, abuse, push, pull, grasp, reach, soothe ourselves, substances, and partners. She's getting into the real shit and drawing inspiration from many different realms and walks of life.

The Wilder Podcast | Episode #7 | Young Marriage + Staying Motivated
Sep 06, 2016
Show notes
Hey, everyone! So, I mentioned on Instagram that I was taking questions for a Q&A-style podcast episode, and this is the result! I ended up just choosing and focusing on two questions.
One being: What are the pros and cons of getting married young? What obstacles did you face? What was the resistance from your family if any? How did you deal with that? Any advice?
#2: How do you stay motivated?
These are two questions I could probably speak on in depth for hours, but I kept this a little tame. Please know that these are just my experiences and personal views on these subjects. I know that some of what I'm speaking on in this episode is controversial and you may not agree with my stance, but that's totally fine. I'm TOTALLY fine with that.
There isn't really much to put in the show notes other than the book I mentioned by Gala Darling, which you can find here.
Love you all so much! Let me know what you think of this episode!

The Wilder Podcast | Episode #6 | Jessica Murnane
Aug 30, 2016
Show notes
I think I can successfully say I fully geeked out during this interview. Much like the last episode with Katie Dalebout, I've been obsessing over this week's guest's work for a bit now, and I think this conversation was loaded with juicy stuff.
You know who I'm talking about. Yeah. I'm talking about the woman wellness weirdo, Jessica Murnane.
Some of you may remember a few months ago I shared a blog post listing off my current favorite podcasts, and you may remember a specifically incredible one called the One Part Podcast by Jessica Murnane. If you missed that post and haven't gotten into her pod, now's your chance to learn more about her before you dive in! Already stay plugged into Jessica's work? Then you're definitely going to love this discussion we had regarding everything from body image and endometriosis, to some shit that's been going down in the world and why we should raise our voices.
Jessica's blog, One Part Plant stems from the concept that every single one of us can benefit from making even the smallest shifts toward a plant-based lifestyle. In her case, she's found that eating plant-based has helped reduce her symptoms from stage IV endometriosis, and though she recognizes that everyone is different, I think we both can agree that there are seemingly infinite benefits to incorporating more plants into your diet.
Lucky for us, Jessica is sharing even more of her scrumptious and creative (yet simple) plant-based recipes in her upcoming cookbook, which she speaks a lot about in this episode! Yay!
Personally, I've been drawn to Jessica's story since last May. I was curled up on my couch with tears streaking my face and a smoldering heating pad smushed against my pelvis as I desperately Googled "foods for endometriosis pain and balancing hormones". As I share in this podcast episode, I continued to her site where I found Laura Miller of Raw. Vegan. Not. Gross smiling back at me. One of my favorite food bloggers! Froobs! I was instantly hooked.
I don't want to overwhelm you with a lengthy introduction, because I absolutely want you to jump right into this episode and become mildly to moderately obsessed with Jessica.
The Wilder Podcast | Episode #5 | Katie Dalebout

You guys...
Katie Dalebout
Well, I don't even know where to start with this episode. I guess I could start by explaining how deeply my girl crush for this week's guest runs. Katie Dalebout is an author, podcast host, beautiful human, and claims she's not an expert at anything but that she's simply an enthusiast of a bunch of things --- so, I suppose you can imagine it's a little tricky to pinpoint who she is in just a few words.
As I mention to Katie in this episode, she may not know it but I've spent at least 50 hours at her side, going on walks and cooking as she interviews dozens of talented and inspiring women through my headphones. I genuinely had a hard time even asking her the right questions for those of you who've never heard of her! I definitely encourage you subscribe and take a listen to her podcast. I was just listening to her #117th episode, so you have a ton of material to dive into!
source: katiedalebout.com
This year, she published her first book Let it Out: A Journey Through Journaling which is an amazing tool she's created to simplify and demystify the ominous practice of journaling, making its well-touted ability to impact your self-growth much easier. I'm no mega-journaler, so this in an excellent opportunity for me to incorporate some serious shifts in my nightly practice. Hell, I might even take her word for it and start different journals for different topics! Who knows.
I'm not going to say too much on here, because I don't really like to take up too much of your time you could be spending listening to our conversation, but I will inform you that this is the longest podcast episode I've done so far. I'm trying to keep things within an hour, but this episode was just too delicious and packed with incredible things to edit anything out. You just get it all.
I also had a shit-load of questions prepared for Katie, but I didn't really use them. This was an unscripted piece of magic that really left me feeling wickedly refreshed. We even had a few moments of the record that really shook things up for me. She's just so breathtakingly inspiring and understanding of a few not-so-awesome things I've been dealing with that I don't share with the world-wide-web.
We also mention another one of my fav podcasts (that I've currently exhausted and listened to every. single. episode. since finding it back in February! This, of course, is Christy Harrison's Food Psyche podcast.
Don't forget you can donate to the pod so I can keep it afloat in my free time! It means so much and I can keep providing you with this juicy and incredible material!

The Wilder Podcast | Episode #2 | Jyssica Yelas
Jul 25, 2016
Show notes
Hey, everyone! I'm so stoked to announce the first guest on the podcast is Jyssica Yelas of the Style Opal!
Jyssica Yelas is a fashion stylist, blogger, and social media consultant based in Portland, OR. Having been raised in East Texas with Hawaiian and Oregonian roots, she moved to Portland after graduating from Oregon State University to pursue her passions.
Initially inspired by an opal ring at a market in Florence, Italy, Jyssica started The Style Opal in 2014 to celebrate what she believes makes up personal style: a reflection of the experiences, interactions and travels of the individual. The color play of an opal reflects every color of the rainbow, just as personal style is not confined to one approach, but can reflect any every angle of a person and their passions or moods.
In this episode, we got really conversational. Please excuse and embrace the conversational likes, ums, you knows, etc. that occur during this episode. I'll be better about speaking more clearly in the future! It's also an episode with some f-bombs and other swear words, so if listening around little ones, throw on some headphones!
In addition to discussing Jyssica's journey from cheerleading teen to boho-chic lifestyle maven, we also touched on a few social and cultural issues that might make you uncomfortable. Sit in the discomfort and see if you agree with what we're talking about!
Donate to the pod! I love curating this content and taking the time to edit, record, interview, you name it! Even just a dollar an episode helps a ton! :)
