In this completely unhinged episode of the Feral Wisdom Podcast, Justine joins in from Mexico with the energy of a woman who survived three hurricanes, a stomach bug, and spiritual warfare with a lizard.
Her trips had everything: biblical rainstorms that knocked the power out, rogue wildlife acting like they paid for the Airbnb, and hotel moments so chaotic they should honestly be studied by scientists.
Between the kid meltdowns, the mystery illnesses, and the “family bonding” that felt more like group therapy with sunscreen, the girls unpack every feral detail. And yes — the naked man outside the hotel makes an appearance, because apparently Mexico said “let’s give them content.”
Then it whiplashes straight into vacation withdrawals, questionable life choices, and why concert ticket prices now require a second mortgage and emotional support animal. The Bruno Mars rant alone is worth the price of admission.
But it doesn’t stop there — we get raccoon drama (obviously feral, obviously the main character), intense debates over whether Arnold Palmers are elite or a red flag, margarita slander, and the girls slowly losing their grip on reality through jokes so unhinged they could qualify as a wellness check.
By the end, it’s just two moms, one mic, zero filters, and enough chaos to power the entire Mazatland grid.
Welcome back to the circus.
