Cat Mansfield

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.

    96. Redefining Love Beyond "The One" w/ Merideth Thompson

    What if your body already knows the truth about your relationship - and your mind is just catching up? In this conversation, Cat sits down with Merideth Thompson, PhD, founder of Partner Lab, to reorient love away from the fairytale of “the one” and toward relationships as portals for growth, clarity, and self-trust. Merideth is a psychological researcher and executive coach who helps people use data-driven insights alongside somatic wisdom to make empowered choices - whether that means strengthening a relationship or ending it with care. Together, they explore the difference between intuition vs. fear (and how doubt can masquerade as inner knowing), why conflict patterns matter more than “good communication,” how emotional abuse can impact us even without visible marks, and why love alone isn’t always enough for longevity. They also talk about choosing yourself inside partnership — building independence, interdependence, and devotion without losing your identity. This episode is for anyone navigating a relationship crossroads, healing from the myth of “happily ever after,” or learning how to choose with clarity instead of urgency. In this episode: Data as “regret insurance”Intuition vs fear vs doubtRelationships as portals, not destinationsIndependence evenings + healthy interdependenceWhy resentment is so corrosiveSelf-love as the foundation that lastsConnect with Merideth + Partner Lab: Website: www.mypartnerlab.co Follow my journey on Instagram Interested in being a guest on the podcast?

    93. Not Just Manifesting—Materializing: Turning Vision into Reality w/ Devon Kerns

    What if the most powerful thing you could do for the world wasn’t to push harder, but to become still? In this episode, Cat sits down with Devon Kerns — a founder, conscious leadership guide, and “builder of the new world” — to explore how stillness, rooting into the body, and lightening up can radically transform the way we create, lead, and relate to money, technology, and each other. Devon shares how his quote “the stillest waters bring the greatest ripples” became the anchor of his work, and together they move through a wide-ranging conversation on the root chakra and safety, conscious evolution, community vs. tribe, money as an expression of value, and the emerging relationship between AI and human potential. This is a grounded, expansive dialogue for anyone walking the path of spiritual growth and entrepreneurship. In this episode, we explore: Why stillness creates a deeper ripple than constant effortingHow rooting into the body (and the root chakra) changes the way we experience chaosThe shift from competition and “tribe” into true community and co-creationThe difference between manifestation and full materialization (and why so many creators stop halfway)Money as a frequency of value and what happens when we under-value our workHow AI, quantum tech, and conscious evolution might converge to build a new paradigmChoosing idealism and love over fear in a world wired for survivalDevon has spent 25+ years founding and scaling companies across wellness, tech, media, and sustainable development, while dedicating over 11,000 hours to coaching and consulting leaders, executives, and change-makers. Today, he sits on boards and inside movements devoted to healing people, land, and economies — not waiting for the future, but actively building it. Tune in for a conversation that invites you to be both the still lake and the pebble, and to remember that your inner state is the true source of your ripples.

    91. The Two Gaps Keeping You Stuck (Even If You’re “Doing the Work”) w/ Dr. Kelly Waggoner

    So many of us understand our patterns, yet nothing changes. In this powerful episode, clinical psychologist and integrative wellness expert Dr. Kelly Waggoner maps the two core gaps in modern healing: Somatic gap: how to regulate your nervous system (and although it might not sound sexy, it’s the bedrock of real change), expand your window of tolerance, and reshape the “container” so insight doesn’t leak out.Spiritual gap: how to reconnect with your soul-self without outsourcing your authority and dissolve the illusion of separation so life feels alive again.We cover: breath as the most portable tool, micro check-ins, the STOP practice, hyper vs. hypo states, people-pleasing (“fawn”) as a survival strategy, and why peak experiences—psychedelic or otherwise—only transform us when we integrate them into daily life. You’ll learn Early signs of dysregulation—and how to course-correct fastPractical ways to rebuild discernment so decisions come from presenceA simple path to weave mind, body, and spirit into everyday healingGuest Dr. Kelly Waggoner is a clinical psychologist, integrative wellness expert, and co-founder of Wellspring 88.
