The Wild Within
Kristen Yates
Welcome to the Wild Within, a podcast exploring personal and collective transformation and how to live a fully awakened life while activating your purpose, potential, and greatest expression in the world.
Through conversations on mindset and mysticism, holistic psychology, shamanic healing, and the nature of consciousness and reality, we will explore what it means to "wake up" in a world that's quickly shifting around us, and how to navigate your own evolving Self in these times.
I’m your host Kristen Yates, and I believe we’re moving through a consciousness shift on the planet that’s calling upon us all to wake up our inner power and reconnect to our truth and true nature within.
My intention with this podcast is to share ideas and energy from fellow healers and thought leaders in the consciousness movement, and plant seeds of inspiration to co-create the new Earth we all know deep down is possible.

The Power of Embodiment and Sensuality w/ Nadia Munla
The Wild Within
11/20/20 • 58 min
Ep. 20 - Today I'm sitting down with Nadia Munla, women's embodiment and intimacy coach, to discuss all things embodiment, sensuality, surrender, and feminine spirituality. We all know the importance of "slowing down" – but in a society designed to keep us spinning in our heads in "go-go-go" mode, it's a new form of empowerment to return home to our bodies and find our own truth and healing within. This episode is so potent for the times we are in right now – I highly recommend you give it at least one listen, and note down the many practices Nadia recommends for reconnecting to your inner power.
In this episode, we dive into:
- Nadia's journey of moving from a life of hustle and grind life into one of embodiment and sensual aliveness
- Our society's epidemic of disconnection from our body wisdom
- Rewilding and what animals can teach us about living fully
- The ways our mind-based culture keeps us disconnected from our body
- Using our five senses to experience sensuality
- Accessing divinity through going inward into the senses.
- The difference between “masculine” and “feminine” forms of spirituality
- How to balance “doing” and “feeling”
- Finding integration through combining structure and flow
- Reaping the gifts of slowing down and simplifying in 2020
- How to regulate our nervous systems for better health
- Using our breath as the building block and language of the reptilian brain to positively shift our physiological state
- Why we don’t need complicated formulas to get through these times - and what we do need instead
- Where suffering actually comes from (different from where we think it does!)
- Inner child work - how to mother and reparent our inner child
- The four feminine archetypes
- The power of surrendering into pain, and the difference between surrender and resignation
- Fear-based vs. love-based motivation
- Her co-creative visioning plan - 4 powerful questions to help you create an embodied vision based in surrender

Ep. 15: Today's episode is all about reframing our notion that "hustle and struggle equals success" – and opening up to allow the ease and abundance that is our birthright. I sit down with Krystal Brandt an Ease Mentor and Intuitive Business Strategist who helps fast-paced go-getters to slow down and cultivate sustainable self-care practices to live a soul-aligned life. She shares her story of leaving the corporate world behind to follow her inner calling (spoiler alert: it wasn't a smooth and shiny ride!) and drops a ton of actionable tools and strategies to reset your relationship with obligation and create a life filled with self-care, nourishment, and yes – lots of ease.

- Her top tip for using your core values as a tool for self-nourishment
- How to turn self-care from an item on your to-do list, to an organic, non-negotiable part of your life
- Integrating the masculine and feminine in your daily life
- Dancing between the masculine structure and “doing”, and the feminine intuition and “being"
