Wild Souls
Welcome to the Wild Souls podcast. I’m your host, Cat Mansfield. Together, we will return to our wild instincts; reconnect to our body, to our connection to something greater, to the Truth of our divinity + infinite potential. We are here to have the raw conversations about all aspects of this human experience- the incredibly painful and the unbelievably pleasurable - the dark and the light, the death and the rebirth. This podcast is about holding space for the whole spectrum of human experience as we navigate each of our unique + divine healing journeys and step deeper into our soul’s calling. These conversations are meant to be a resource for deep self inquiry, a guidepost in cultivating a deep, unwavering self love, and ultimately, empower you to create a life so on purpose, so aligned with your authenticity, you can’t help but embody your wildest soul. Lets dive in.

88. Becoming Unprogrammed: Freedom Beyond the System w/ Marat Omarov
What does it look like to completely rewrite your life — to move from rigidity, obedience, and external success toward freedom, creativity, and alignment?
In this conversation, Marat Omarov shares his extraordinary journey of transformation: from growing up in the Soviet Union and spending his youth in military school, to walking away from government and politics in search of something real. His story is a living testament to what happens when you listen to the voice within — the one that refuses to stay quiet in misalignment.
We talk about the process of deprogramming: unlearning inherited beliefs, meeting the discomfort of change, and finding your own compass. Marat’s path eventually led him to Costa Rica, where he founded The ARK — a living experiment in conscious community and a reflection of his inner liberation.
This episode is an invitation to remember that transformation is possible at any stage of life — and that freedom begins the moment you stop outsourcing your truth.
In this episode:
- Breaking free from generational and cultural conditioning
- Listening to the inner voice that guides authentic change
- Moving from “success” to soul alignment
- The courage to start over and the lessons learned along the way
- How Marat’s journey evolved into The ARK — a community born from consciousness
