Open Heart with Wilderness ✨
By Wilderness Dawn
My name is Wilderness, and this is a place for open hearted conversation. I speak with coaches, therapists, astrologers, doctors, and many more. This podcast is less centered around a particular topic and more about the theme of coming home to yourself and living from your heart. I speak with people who are being and doing in ways that inspire me. I believe everyone has a story and everyone's story matters. Follow on IG @wildernessdawn or reach out to me through my website wildernessdawn.com. I'd love to hear from you!

The Friendship Episode with Karli Davies
Today we have a returning guest, Koach Karli, and we are going to call this the friendship episode. We explore our friendship and friendships in general. We discuss her living in Mexico and learning Spanish, how she casually found her most recent apartment with a hint from a tarot reader, our differences and similarities and how that connects us, her Canadian accent, the gift of healing relational and attachment wounds in friendships, and how the shared similarity of being Leo’s connects us. Have a few laughs with us and don’t miss the blunder reel at the end too! 😝
