🌲🎙️🥾Episode #4 Part 2Form Wild Child to Barefoot Guide Living the Way of Natural Movement"You Just Go Outside With No Shoes On"The Go Wildly Podcast is what happens when two childhood friends & dirtbag adventure junkies and decide to bring a mic into the wilderness. We’re Emily & Heather...equal parts heart and chaos...pulling stories out of people like snacks from the bottom of a backpack. We hike. We float. We talk. And somehow, in between all the laughs and mosquito bites, something real always surfaces.At the heart of each episode is one question: What was your pivotal outdoor moment—the one that changed everything?We’re goofy. We’re deep. We’re a little unhinged. And we somehow bring that out in our guests too. Think campfire vibes meets podcast energy...with just enough weird to keep things interesting.Together let’s GO WILDLY!Today's Guest: Diana Matula, A clinical herbalist and Level 3 MovNat Trainer, Restorative Exercise Specialist, and NASM Certified Personal Trainer.

From our perch at the top, we dive into Diana’s journey with natural movement—what it means, how she teaches it, and why it resonates so deeply with people of all ages and backgrounds. She shares how her classes have become more than just fitness—they’re spaces of play, healing, and genuine connection where community naturally forms through movement. Her approach is accessible, joyful, and grounded in a belief that returning to our body’s innate wisdom is one of the most powerful things we can do.We also explore the path she took to become a Level 3 MovNat trainer, including the details of her intensive certification experience in the desert. Diana recounts the physical and mental challenges of the course, and some unforgettable moments from the field.
