🌿 Wildly Unplugged Podcast 🎙️

Welcome to Wildly Unplugged, where we share stories of nature, conservation, and creativity. Discover what develops when you unplug and step outdoors. 🌎✨

Formerly Wild Developments Podcast, this new name and look better reflect what we’re all about—breaking free from the daily grind, getting outside, and reconnecting with the wild through art, adventure, and storytelling. With a refreshed color palette of sky blue and pine green (no more Disney "go away green"!), this podcast is here to stand out, inspire, and invite you to explore.

We’re keeping things simple—no long intros, just real conversations with fascinating guests. Want to know more about them? Check the show notes for all the details.

And an exciting update—there’s a Wildly Unplugged book on the horizon! Packed with stories, actionable tips, checklists, and reflection prompts, it's designed to meet you where you are, whether you're new to the outdoors or a seasoned explorer. More on that soon!

📅 New episodes drop every Thursday at 8 AM EST.

⚡ 🔌 Tip to Unplug: Take a break, shake up your routine, go for a walk outdoors with your phone in your pocket in do-not-disturb mode, and see what creative ideas and clarity come to you! 

🎧 Tune in, get inspired, then unplug and see what happens when you step outside. 🌿

A production of Wild Development Studio. As always, engage with nature responsibly.

 Welcome to Wildly Unplugged, sharing stories of nature, conservation, and creativity. Discover what develops when you unplug and step outdoors.

 Welcome back, everyone. I hope you had a wonderful holiday break. I know I did. And that time away really helped me to recenter and get refreshed. I am excited to dive into a new season with you. I'm your guide Lauren. And if you've been with me for a while, well, welcome back. You might've noticed something a little bit different.

The podcast has a new name, Wildly Unplugged. Why the change? Well, the old branding, Wild Developments Podcast, it just didn't quite capture the heart of what Wildly unplug is we want to make it clear. It's about breaking free from the daily grind, getting outside and reconnecting with nature through art, adventure, and conservation, and definitely lots and lots of storytelling.

I am keeping wild development studio for all things  nature journaling and  photography and art classes and things of that nature. But as far as the podcast. Wildly unplug it is I also brightened up the colors. So now we have sky blue and pine green. The old shade felt a lot like that Disney green, you know, the one that they use to make things like trash cans disappear.

I think it's even called go away green. And. It's not what I want you guys to do. I don't want you to go away. I want, I want you guys to come along and bring a friend, listen in and then unplug and get outside. I want to start standing out and embracing the wild. It's time to shine.  Another change, no long intros.

I want to get straight to the heart of the conversation and talking about nature. If you want to dive deeper into our guest's background.  The information on how to connect with them has always been in the show notes. So just a reminder. If you want to dive deeper on who they are and a little bit more about what they do, find all their details in the show 

 notes. 

One more really exciting thing, there is a book on the horizon by the same name, Wildly Unplugged, and it's going to have stories, it's going to have actionable items. And ideas that you can do to start connecting with nature, whether you are super busy or you've got time or you're really experienced in nature, there's a little something for everyone to kind of meet you where you're at and you can take some ideas and maybe they'll give you some inspiration to go off on your own.

There's also checklists. And reflection questions and room to write and pictures and all sorts of stuff more on that is going to be coming. So stay tuned and our next episode, the official start of wildly unplug is going to be this Thursday, which is. February 6th, 2025 tune in, hopefully  new episodes will be coming out every Thursday at 8 AM Eastern standard time.

And until then unplug and discover what happens when you go outside.
