The Wild Within
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.

An Embodied Reflection & Visioning Process for 2026 - Year of the Fire Horse 🔥
Ep 9: As the New Year approaches, many of us are contemplating what intentions we're holding and what we're ready to release from the year past. Personally, I am a BIG fan of reflection and visioning, and would love to share with you about the process I like to use - and some key principles of why it works.
In this episode, I share why most New Year's Resolutions don't work - and what we can do instead to ensure we manifest our desires and start moving towards our biggest visions and new versions of ourselves in an actionable and sustainable way.
In this episode, we'll explore:
- Why most New Years resolutions don't work - (hint: most people don't understand what creates real change!)
- Why real and lasting shift must be embodied (not just in your mind)
- How to get your body and nervous system on board with your intentions
- Setting intentions at the level of IDENTITY, not behavior
- Reflection on the past year as a process of metabolizing your experiences
- A few potent practices I love to use as part of my reflection & integration
- How we create from the level of our subconscious mind (and why it's so important to take this perspective when setting intentions)
- Key questions to ask as you process the year past and clear space for the new
- How to start excavating the belief systems holding you back from your biggest visions and dreams
- How to decide who you are becoming in the New Year
- Key questions to ask to determine your new operating system and way of being
- 3 areas to focus on when setting goals and visions for 2026
As part of this community, I'd love to share with you the Embodied Refleciton & Visioning workbook I've created for 2026:
