Unruly Podcast | Exploring Travel, Activism & Alternative Culture

Seated in the Osa Peninsula of Costa Rica is Finca Ganadito, an eco-living space committed to regenerative agriculture and increasing biodiversity. But their work doesn’t stop with the birds and soil — it extends to the seas, with impressive efforts to protect sea turtles. Rob "Tortugo" — known locally as the “sea turtle man” — is a key player in these green efforts. With a background in biology, he’ll lead us through sea turtle fact and folklore in an exploration of sea turtle evolution, their complicated dance with the climate crisis, and mysterious “lost years.” With 80% of sea turtles lost in the last 40 years, this important conversation shares the reasons behind their decline and what you can do to protect sea turtles from anywhere in the world. Tune in to hear: - Incredible sea turtle facts - Why sea turtles are reptiles - Are sea turtles endangered? - The inspiration behind Finca Ganadito - Why only 1 out of 1,000 sea turtle eggs survive SHOWNOTES - 2026 Unruly Finca Ganadito trip: https://www.wetravel.com/trips/finca-ganadito-in-costa-rica-calen-otto-01051353 - Full interview on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/posts/bonus-episode-2-138526093 - Finca Ganadito: https://www.fincaganadito.com - Join Patreon: patreon.com/unrulytravel

Is there an ethical way to do religion? That’s one of the many topics we explore in the newest podcast episode with Ann Russo, LCSW, founder and clinical director of AMR Therapy. As a queer phycologist with a MA in Theology, Ann speaks to what religious trauma is, how it affects the body and brain, and how to navigate and heal from religious trauma. From growing up in a secret queer household in the 80’s and 90’s to entering religion herself, Ann shares personal stories that inform the way she’s able to help others today. Religious trauma can look differently for everyone, and today’s episode is a reminder that you’re not alone. Tune in for venerability, science-backed explanations, and a path forward. “Studies show that queer folks have higher rates of mental illness, suicide, and drug abuse. Some church folks like to say it’s because you’re queer. No — it’s because of the level of rejection.” SHOWNOTES - Connect with Ann: https://www.annrusso.org/ - Join Patreon: patreon.com/unrulytravel

Have you ever wanted to transform your life? Sure, we can tweak a habit here and there from our usual comfortable perch. But sometimes we feel a rumble from down deep in our bellies; adventure and change is calling, but we’re too scared to answer. What can happen when we do? Here today to answer that question is Jonny Wright, hitchhiker extraordinaire and fan of irreversible decisions. After traveling the globe, traversing 22 countries through over 17,000 miles of hitchhiking, Jonny knows what it means to make a single big decision that changes everything. After a big breakup, move, and pandemic, Jonny knew that he needed a big change — to shake things up so much that they could never settle back to normal — but didn’t know where to start. Now armed with hard-earned wisdom from the road, he teaches us how to pinpoint the changes that we need to make and the direction we need to go when we can’t seem to figure out where to begin. Additionally, Jonny shares: - Why hitchhiking is a risk he’s willing to take - How to hitchhike as effectively as possible - How to hitchhike Europe - How hitchhiking is a teacher of impulse, intuition, and self regulation - What it takes financially to plan a months long trip - His magnificent Turkish wedding story form the road You’ll leave this episode with a fresh perspective on humanity and feasible steps to for listening to the wise voice inside you, guiding you to a fulfilling life.

To celebrate queer joy, blossoming, and vibrant life I invite you to join us for a special Unruly Podcast episode. It weaves together the illuminating stories of 6 different people, now in their mid 20’s and 30’s, who grew up in rural spaces as queer youth.  There they found refuge in nature, belonging in the outdoors, and community in the unlikeliest of places. You'll find yourself laughing and crying right along with us as we dive into bubbling river rapids, contemplate forbidden crushes in the heat of summer church camp, and explore all the spaces in-between in an episode that defies time and gender norms. This conversation is a glimpse into the tender coming-of-age moments for queer youth and the hilarity, struggle, and metamorphosis that brings us to adulthood.

Feeling angry in 2025? Join the club. (No, seriously, we have some important things to discuss!) In this episode we sit down with Kallie Klug to discuss all things anger: what it really is, what it does in the body, and what the hell to do with it once it’s here. So many of us shy away from anger and even couple it with shame. Why? Suppressed anger can express itself as stomach issues, jaw and shoulder pain, and irritating chronic symptoms. In this episode Kallie teaches us how to have conversation with tension in our body, process full body rage and interpersonal rage, and tune into safety in difficult times — necessary skills for improving physical and mental health. With studies showing that the prefrontal cortex shuts down during conflict, knowing how to take space and listen to your body is so important for effective communication and community building. This episode is for anyone who wants to improve their life by learning somatic exercises for anger, with specific tips for travelers and activists. - Email the new travel segment at hellounrulytravel@gmail.com - Episode #71 on people pleasing: https://wanderwoman.online/index.php/2024/08/09/how-to-stop-people-pleasing-somatics-kallie-klug/ - KaliSomatics: https://kalisomatics.com - Unruly Travel & Living Blog: unrulytravel.com - Unruly email newsletter: buff.ly/4a1bPwT

An anti-diet dietitian sounds like an oxymoron, but when it comes to true health, nutrition, and healing it's exactly what the world needs. Enter: Taylor Wolfram. After becoming disenchanted with standard Western ways of helping clients, Taylor Wolfram set out to create her own weight neutral, anti-diet practice that considers how body politics affect us all, human or beyond. Though we usually connect food with just fullness and hunger, Taylor explains how food impacts our focus, mood stability, brain function, motivation, and nervous system regulation. In this episode we not only discuss the impacts of restricting food, but ways to heal your relationship with it and your body. We dive into the difference of subjectively vs objectively being with your body, unpack why an unnourished brain can't do the deeper healing work, and untangle veganism vs a plant-based, health-focused diet. “If you don’t currently feel connected to your body or like you can trust your body, know that you can get there. We are all born embodied, intuitive creatures — we’re just conditioned out of it.” - Unruly Italy guides: https://wanderwoman.online/index.php/tag/italy/ - Unruly Tunisia guides: https://wanderwoman.online/index.php/tag/tunisia/ - Taylor Wolfram's website: taylorwolfram.com - Befriending Your Body book: https://prf.hn/l/p3jnyZQ/ - Befriending Your Body card deck: https://prf.hn/l/kVkz132/ - Ginny Kisch Messina: theveganrd.com - veganhealth.org - Unruly Travel & Living Blog: unrulytravel.com - Unruly email newsletter: buff.ly/4a1bPwT

Is foraging legal? Is it bad for the environment? Is foraging innate or learned? These are the top questions being asked on Google around foraging, a regulating activity that our ancestors depended on to sustain life. Here today to answer our questions and go beyond the technicalities of foraging is Alan Muskat, the founder of the largest foraging education company in the world. In this episode Alan touches on the essence of foraging: feeling safe, feeling provided for, and feeling at home in the world. (And you thought it was just about food!) We also discuss how artificial scarcity pushes us to pay for food rather than collect it for free ourselves, why societal boxes are deadly, and how cities are actually some of the best places to practice foraging.

Ken Ilgunas, author of 3 books including “Walden On Wheels,” has been called many things: a wanderer, pro-hitchhiker, journalist, and Alaskan back country ranger. Now, he’s taken on new titles like “husband” and “dad.” This leads us to ask: What happens to the most adventurous of our society when we enter a phase that calls for settling down, growing roots, and re-entering institutions? It’s a life transition that can feel tricky and hard to navigate. Luckily, Ken candidly shares what he’s learned while walking down this uncertain road that comes with no playbook. In this episode he takes us into the company of strangers by telling stories made of hitchhike magic, ex-cons, and religious hallucinations while thumbing his way thousands of miles across the US. He then pulls us behind the scenes of the writing process where he transforms these gritty life experiences into something worthy of being page-bound. Listen in as we ponder the sacredness of books; how writers risk damaging relationships in the name of creating good art; and how writing changes the narrative about our own lives. “I think to be a good artist, a small percentage of you has to be a sociopath. You have to be willing to sacrifice something in the name of the art.” Ken’s Substack: https://kenilgunas.substack.com/ Second Gear / Podcast Sponsor: https://secondgearwnc.com *Let them know the Unruly Podcast sent you for 10% off! - Unruly Travel & Living Blog: wanderwoman.online

Or maybe you’re like me, an old timer vegan who still feels lost in the kitchen. *Enter Destiny DeJesus on stage left* Destiny, creator of Eat Yo Destiny, is here to show us how to eat in a way that helps our bodies thrive, the planet heal, and protects animals from harm.

How are cows, colonization, and comradery all connected? Tune in to today’s episode with pattrice jones, co-founder of a LGBTQ+ led refuge for farmed animals that works at the intersection of social and environmental justice, to find out. At any one moment they care for upwards of 500 residents, forming a multi-species community which has informed the way pattrice navigates, writes about, and changes the world. In this episode jones candidly shares the stories of residents who are brave escapees of animal agriculture and speaks to the ways in which homophobia and speciesism intersect. pattrice also gives practical advice on finding balance in your activism in a world where so many issues deserve our attention at any one moment, and what to do when we make mistakes in social justice movements. “As activists and advocates for animals, we need to help break the backgrounding and stereotyping of nonhuman animals in part by drawing peoples attention to the diversity — the wondrous diversity — of nonhuman life.” Unruly Travel & Living Blog: wanderwoman.online

We’ve all heard the hero’s tale, but what about those in the shadows? Have you ever looked at a villain and thought that they looked divine, that their words or actions were delectable, or that they were living deliciously? In today’s episode Kallie Klug explains how we’ve gotten villains all wrong, and what we can learn from them when it comes to our own people pleasing tendencies. We ask questions like, ‘Why does being in our bodies matter?’ ‘How can I transform hurtful words that people assign to me and play with them instead?’ We discuss what glimmers are, how to stop giving your precious life energy away to randos at the park (LOL…no, seriously), practical grounding techniques in moments of fawning, and what we can learn from the infamous Cruella De Vil.

Is Morocco safe? What about for solo female travelers? How strict is the dress code for women? While the Unruly Podcast usually supplies the sound waves with tales of inspiration and bravery, today we sit down by the crackling wood stove with Calen and their partner Tim to answer all of these questions, and more. In this episode they discuss how to get to Morocco from Spain, dish out all you need to know if you decide to rent a car, and highlight some of their favorite destinations that they hit along the way. Additionally, they get real about what they would have done differently, what they wish they would have known before hand, and what it was like traveling as vegans in Morocco. Consider this interview as your go-to guide to traveling Morocco for the first time, brought to you by two seasoned travelers who want you to make the most out of your trip.
