Welcome to the very first episode of the Wild Heart Podcast - a new chapter born from the evolution of Rewild You.

Hannah Rae is joined by her co-host, co-founder, and neighbour-turned-business-partner Peta Adie, as they share the origin story of Wild Heart and the big vision that’s been taking shape in a tiny town on the edge of Fiordland National Park:

A shared belief in the power of wild places, meaningful challenge, and women coming together to reconnect - with nature, with each other, and with themselves.

Together, Hannah and Peta explore:

* The evolution from Rewild You to Wild Heart - what’s changing, what’s staying, and why this next chapter matters

* How a chance move to Manapouri and conversations over the fence led to co-creating Wild Heart together

* The magic of multi-day women’s adventures - clarity, confidence, sisterhood, and feeling “unstuck”

* Burnout, courage, and choosing a different path - listening to your body and backing yourself

* What “wild” really means in this chapter of life: freedom, agency, and living in alignment

* What to expect from Wild Heart experiences - from backcountry hut missions to bougie-meets-wild day adventures

* Why access, community, and education matter, not just adventure for adventure’s sake

This episode is raw, conversational, and full of heart - complete with laughter, tangents, and honest reflections. It sets the tone for what this podcast will continue to be: real stories, emotional honesty, a touch of humour, and a deep respect for the wild places (inside and out) that shape us.

Whether you’re a long-time Rewild You listener or brand new here, we’re so glad you’re here!
