#015 – Katie Rydge (Alone S12): How Hunting Teaches Women Boundaries

For most people, survival is about playing it safe. For Katie Rydge, it's not.

It’s about stripping life back to meet only what's real - in solitude, silence, with only instinct as your guide.

Katie is a wilderness survivalist who's spent over 20 years mastering primitive skills, guiding rites of passage, and living off the land. She's ridden horses through remote Australian cattle stations, led expeditions into Aboriginal communities in Arnhem Land, and competed on Season 12 of ALONE - landing herself as second runner up.

But her real work goes deeper than bush survival. Katie guides women back to themselves through nature - weaving earth-based practice with something more primal, more spiritual, more tantric.

Paige and Katie's conversation goes beneath the surface - into sex, nature, hunting, birth, and consciousness - to question what it actually means to feel alive.

🩷 Vision quests and the culture of "push & achieve"
🩷 Traditional bow hunting vs. modern weapons
🩷 Sexual awakening as self-discovery
🩷 What tantra really means beyond clichés
