Certifiably Feral is a real-talk podcast about authenticity, healing and being all-in in our messy, unhinged, tender, "what is even happening right now?" human parts. We'll be talking therapy, somatic healing, shadow work, realtionships, grief, magic, and all the elements of real life. No polish, no performance, no pretending to have it all figured out. Because, trust us... we don't!Honest conversations, questionable humor, zero perfection. Come sit with us. We have good snacks! Bring your feelings, we like to talk about them.

Garden Chats: Dreams, Discomfort, and Toasted Marshmallows
#10
Yesterday at 8:03 PM

In this cozy little Garden Chat, Keli answers listener questions while sitting outside among the plants… because sometimes the best conversations happen with dirt under your feet and fresh air in your lungs.
This episode starts with some lighthearted would-you-rather questions before winding into deeper waters.
Keli shares why she decided to shave her head (again), what that experience has felt like, and the layers of identity, freedom, and expression wrapped up in the choice.
Listener questions open conversations around: • How we show up for people we love who are navigating trans hatred and discrimination • Keli’s biggest...


BONUS: A Feral Mother's Day
05/08/2026

In this special little bonus episode, Keli sits down for an impromptu chit chat with her daughter Murielle (Elle) while Amanda takes a well-deserved break. And honestly, the timing couldn’t be more perfect for Mother’s Day weekend.

This is a casual, off-the-cuff conversation between mother and daughter about life, relationships, neurodivergence, and the very real process of breaking cycles and creating new paths forward. Keli and Elle talk about navigating life as women with ADHD, growing up undiagnosed, and how that has shaped both of their experiences in completely different ways.

They also dive into...


Duality in the Messy Middle

This week on Certifiably Feral, Amanda and Keli sit down for a real, unfiltered catch-up… the kind that happens when life has been life-ing in all the ways. There’s a lot moving right now.
Big emotions.
Hard moments.
Unexpected shifts. And in the middle of it all, we find ourselves doing what so many of us are doing… riding the waves. In this conversation, we drop into the messy middle of life. The part that isn’t wrapped up neatly. The part where things are still unfolding, where clarity hasn’t fully landed, and where you’re just doin...

This week on Certifiably Feral, we’re joined by the one and only, self-proclaimed feral rave goblin, Tara Carlson… and honestly, that might be the most accurate title we’ve ever heard.

Tara is one of the most multifaceted humans we know. By day, she’s a speech and language pathologist doing deeply impactful work with the autism community, supporting communication, empowerment, and connection. Her path has also led her into the world of MNRI (Masgutova Neurosensorimotor Reflex Integration), bringing powerful nervous system healing work to both children and adults.

Cultivating Community: The Feral Woman's Garden
#6
03/27/2026

This week on Certifiably Feral, Amanda and Keli are talking about something we’re all a part of whether we realize it or not.

Community.

From the friends who have known you forever, to the moms on the sidelines of sports games, to coworkers, yoga classes, group chats, and spiritual spaces… we are constantly moving in and out of different circles of connection throughout our lives. Some are deep and long-standing. Some are seasonal. Some show up exactly when we need them.

In this conversation, we explore what it means to be in community and...


From Mormon to Medium: Bex Kelley on Self-Trust and Intuition
#5
03/13/2026

It’s a big day over here in the feral universe because we have our very first guest on the show and we could not love her more.

Meet Bex Kelley. Medium. Intuitive. Former Mormon girl who followed the breadcrumbs of truth straight out of the church and into a life working with spirit.

Bex grew up in the Mormon faith, but as she began the process of deconstructing from her upbringing and questioning the structures she had been raised in, something unexpected began to unfold. The more she stepped into her own authenticity, the louder he...

THIS EPISODE SHOULD BE WATCHED VIA YOUTUBE PODCASTS OR SPOTIFY VIDEO - it's just not a listen only party.

Amanda and Keli share a "special session" where they get *almost* matching tattoos. 

Amanda's love language regularyly comes through music, and she tells the story of a song that became an anthem for both she and Keli this past year. They get feral tattoos of one of the lyrics during this minisode and take us all along for the journey. Special guest, Murielle of Murielle's Tattoo Shop (and Keli's daughter,) makes an appearance in the most speacial w...


The Making of a Feral Woman
#2
02/06/2026


How many versions of you have existed in this lifetime, and what did it take to become who you are now? Poet Nikita Gill says, “The ghosts of the women you used to be are so proud of who you have become, storm child made of wild and flame.” 

In this episode, host Amanda Barron puts co-host Keli Budinich in the hot seat to talk about her work as an Intuitive Energy Practitioner and Soul Healing Guide, and the winding, sometimes feral path that led her to this current version of herself.

As usual, the conve...


Welcome to the Wild Side
#1
01/24/2026

This podcast can, and let's be honest, probably should be viewed on YouTube Podcasts. We're too wacky for listening only. We have focus issues. :)

What does it look like to break out of a life of domesticated perfection and people-pleasing into a life of feral and free self-devotion? We're kicking off this podcast by sharing who we are, our friendship and sense of community and why we wanted to start a place to have these conversations publicly. Our world needs us to show up in authenticity and imperfection and we're ready to start talking about what...
