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.

92. Bridging Faith and Frequency: Consciousness Beyond Religion w/ David Youngren
What if Jesus’ core teachings, neuroscience, and quantum physics are pointing to the same truth? Today, I sat down with David Youngren - a spiritual philosopher, author, and meditation teacher whose work bridges the worlds of science and mysticism—to explore how contemplative practice, inner stillness, and neuroplasticity converge with a more inclusive, heart-centered reading of ancient wisdom.
David has spoken to over a million people worldwide and is the author of Life Ascending: Unlocking Mental Wellbeing Through Timeless Wisdom and New Science—a book that reveals how timeless spiritual teachings and cutting-edge research in neuroscience and quantum physics illuminate the same path to freedom and inner peace.
You’ll hear:
- Religion vs. spirituality: why presence (not dogma) actually transforms
- Meditation, the brain, and real-world mental well-being
- The “I Am” as consciousness beyond space, time, and matter
- Ego as a useful servant—not the driver
- Reframing “truth” as the inner light arising in the present moment
If you’ve wrestled with the word “God,” are untangling religious conditioning, or crave a bridge between faith, science, and lived spirituality, this conversation will feel like a breath of relief—and a practical path back to presence.
