  • 86. Beyond Anxious/Avoidant: Real Skills for Real Love w/ Jack Bohannan

    Why do we keep attracting the same relationship dynamics—and how do we change them? 

    This week, Cat sits down with relationship guide, Jack Bohannan, to reframe attachment theory as a useful map rather than an identity. We unpack why “you attract your unfinished business,” the value of disappointment, and how somatic cues can point to truer boundaries, needs, and desire. 

    Jack’s Somatica-informed approach focuses on creating safe, new relational experiences so your body can learn a different outcome. Expect nuance on masculine/feminine without boxes, sovereignty inside commitment, and keeping attraction alive by giving each other space to grow.

    We cover:

    • Attachment styles as guidance, not destiny
    • Relational reflexes, upper limits, and self-sabotage
    • Reading the body: contraction vs. openness as a compass
    • Friendship, difference, and long-term desire
    • Discernment: what’s mine, what’s theirs, and what to name out loud

  • 85. Genius Is Spiritual, Not Intellectual—Here’s How It Works w/ Taryn Voget

    What if genius isn’t about IQ, but about passion, strategy, and channeling?

    In this episode, Cat sits down with Taryn Voget, founder of the Everyday Genius Institute, to explore the real nature of genius — and why we all have access to it. Together they discuss:

    • Why genius is spiritual, not intellectual
    • The three elements that come together to create genius
    • How following your passion raises your vibration and reveals your shadow
    • Tools for transmuting limiting beliefs like “I have to work hard to make money”
    • The difference between fear and intuition — and how to discern between them
    • Why dread is often a sign it’s time to pivot
    • How small moments of excitement are breadcrumbs toward your bigger purpose

    This conversation is both deeply practical and profoundly expansive, offering a roadmap to uncovering your own genius and stepping into your soul’s unique transmission.

  • 84. Through the Portal: Navigating Identity Shifts & Soul Expansion - SOLO EP.

    It's been a while since I have done a solo episode, y'all.

    In this solo ep., I break down the hidden initiations we face when stepping into new roles and identities. I specifically open up about the process I moved through recently in moving from partner/ fiance to wife. From marriage to motherhood, career changes to personal reinventions, every threshold is a portal—one that carries both light and shadow.

    In this ep, I explore:

    • Why new identities stir up shadow, doubt, and self-sabotage
    • How to discern between conditioned roles and your authentic self
    • The “upper limit” and what it teaches us about expansion
    • Practices to stabilize in your next-level self with more ease and self-compassion

    If you’ve ever wondered why stepping into a new chapter feels both exhilarating and disorienting, this conversation is for you. Consider this your invitation to meet the shadow, claim your truth, and expand into the soul-aligned version of you that’s waiting on the other side of the portal.

    Enjoy 🤍

  • 83. Your Mind Isn’t the Problem — It’s the Key (Hypnosis Explained) w/ Kelsey Lettko

    In this week’s episode of Wild Souls, I sit down with Kelsey Lettko — a potent yoga teacher, coach, and hypnotherapist — to explore the hidden power of the subconscious mind. Together, we dive into:

    • Misconceptions about hypnosis and why it’s far more empowering than we’ve been led to believe
    • The difference between the conscious, subconscious, & unconscious mind—and why awareness alone isn’t enough for real change
    • Practical techniques for clearing old patterns, regulating the nervous system, and “lighting up” the brain for rewiring
    • How self-hypnosis and intentional mindset shifts can expand possibility in everyday life

    Whether you’ve been curious about hypnotherapy or simply want to understand your own mind more deeply, this episode is packed with insights and tools to help you rewrite the code of your reality.

  • 82. Why Awareness Isn’t Enough — Unlocking the Subconscious for Real Change w/ Cheryl Stelte

    In this week’s episode, transformational teacher and healer Cheryl Stelte shares how a profound spiritual experience launched her onto a lifelong path of deep healing and self-discovery.

    We explore:

    • The breath technique to unlock your subconscious mind

    • Why “protectors” in your subconscious can block love, success, and joy
    • How to follow the “emotional thread” to uncover and release repressed wounds
    • Why healing is rarely linear — and what to do when old patterns resurface

    Whether you’re navigating a major life change or simply ready to move beyond long-held limitations, this conversation will give you powerful tools to shift patterns at their root and step into more trust, freedom, and joy.

  • 79. Living Fearlessly: A Conversation That Could Change Your Life w/ Rhonda Britten

    This week on Wild Souls, I'm joined by the legendary Rhonda Britten — Emmy Award-winner, repeat Oprah guest, and founder of the Fearless Living Institute. As the first life coach ever seen on television, Rhonda has spent decades transforming lives by helping people break free from the often-invisible grip of fear.

    In this deeply inspiring and honest conversation, Rhonda shares the pivotal moment that changed her life forever — and ultimately set her on the path to helping others do the same. Please note: parts of Rhonda’s story are emotionally intense and include explicit content — I encourage you to listen with care and check in with your energy as you move into this episode.

    We explore:

    • What fear really is, and how it hides in plain sight
    • Why fear often sounds like logic — and how to spot the difference
    • How fear blocks us from hearing our soul’s voice
    • Rhonda’s transformative “Wheels” methodology
    • Practical tools for anyone feeling stuck, not good enough, or afraid to leap

    Rhonda’s wisdom is a powerful reminder that fear doesn’t have to run the show — and that living fearlessly is possible, one brave step at a time.

  • 78. Awakening the Sacred: Ritual, Elements, and the Temple Within w/ Marko Petrovic

    Today’s guest is someone who truly walks the path of ancient remembrance.

    Marko Petrovic is a guide, storyteller, modern-day mystic, and two-time bestselling author of Soul Path and Embrace of the Elements whose work bridges ancient wisdom with modern living. Leading soul-stirring expeditions to Earth’s most sacred corners through his work with the MARA Project, his journey has taken him across the world.

    In this conversation, we explore what it means to truly attune to the sacred — not just in temples or power sites, but within the body itself. Marko shares how his mother’s passing became a gateway to deeper presence, and how the five elements can serve as portals for tending to the temple we carry within.

    We also dive into how to reintegrate ritual into our everyday lives — not as something separate from the modern world, but as something that can live within it.

    This is a conversation for anyone who feels the pull toward the old ways — who senses that something ancient is whispering beneath the surface of ordinary life, waiting to be remembered.

    Let’s dive in.

  • 77. Intuition as Alchemy: Turning Past Lives Into Present Power w/ Elizabeth Makepeace

    Welcome back to another episode of Wild Souls 🫶🏼

    In today’s episode, I’m joined by Elizabeth Makepeace, a guide for women on the path of self-discovery and spiritual empowerment. Elizabeth’s journey is one of both mystery and mission. She grew up feeling separate from the world around her—and yet deeply connected to something greater. That quiet knowing became the thread that would later lead her into a full spiritual awakening, and ultimately into her gifts as an intuitive, energy worker, and communicator with beings across realms.

    This conversation is a transmission in itself. Together, we explore:

    • What it means to truly listen—beyond the noise of culture, conditioning, and fear
    • The warrior’s journey of facing the unknown and trusting what we feel before we understand
    • How alchemizing our pain, past lives, and present patterns strengthens our intuition
    • The embodiment and empowerment that comes from aligning with the energy of your highest self
    • And how simply setting the intention to know your soul can change the entire trajectory of your life

    If you’ve ever felt the call to trust your inner voice more deeply…If you’ve ever sensed that there’s something just beyond the veil, guiding you into your next evolution…This episode will resonate on a cellular level.

    Let this be your invitation to return to deep listening, and to remember the wild, wise self that has always lived within you.

    Let’s dive in.
