My Grandparents
I've been doing lots of writing and recording, but questioning myself about sharing. Life feels kind of intense lately, and that stops me from following through on sharing what sometimes feels like too much vulnerability. It's also true to say that sometimes I wait for things to settle that I've...

Nat Chats With Rainey on 14 & 40
I decided to sit down and chat with my friend that I dedicated my book (14 days & 40 years) to. What a joy it is to watch her grow into an amazing woman. I met her when she had just turned 20. Watching her mature so much in 4 years makes me wonder how it has only been 4 years. I feel like I've...

Audiobook of 14 & 40 is Available
As with many things, I'm not fast, but I always eventually get there. :) It took a while to be content with it all, but I've finished, and my Audiobook of 14 Days & 40 Years is available! You will find it on every Audiobook platform eventually. I want to do another episode talking to the friend…

What if I'm a Pee-on? Do I mind?
What is it to be a pee-on? Why am I happy to be one? In this episode I pull together a few life-lessons reached by choosing to be a witness, choosing to feel empathy, and by watching others struggle with greed/power/cognitive distortions and these things related to NOT being a pee-on. Maybe I'm...
-
Leaving Religion
I personally feel like the more people become self aware, the less they feel they need religion. That's not saying the less they need "God", but the less they need to be told what God is and what God "wants". And isn't that really what religion is all about? Being told all these things by "MEN"...

CST, SER, & Wholeness
I thought I'd share my personal experiences with Craniosacral Therapy and Somato Emotional Release from 20 years ago. It's actually terrifying to think 20 years have passed since my initial reading of the book The Inner Physician and You by Dr John Upledger. I wish I had done more with the...

Learning about MTHFR
MTHFR is a Gene transcription error with an estimated 44% of people having it. That would be no big deal if it didn't directly affect your health in BIG ways. Finding out I have this issue, I'm having to learn more, and it's not fun. I thought an episode about it might be a starting point for…

#2 Winter is Coming
I'm going to continue doing these for a while, it feels right for me. I will create another podcast and call it NatAndChat Sleep Stories. You can find them there shortly. This will be the second and last one I upload here on my Self Awareness podcast. Eventually you will be able to play them back...

Gifts
Some gifts can only come from some people. This feels like a complicated thought, and I hope I explain what I mean in these few minutes. I chose this image because sunshine in the evening always feels like a gift especially when petals or leaves get to be even more beautiful. It's like I'm…

#1 Stewards of Nature
If you know me, you know I don’t write fiction. So this is an exception. I wrote and recorded this for a friend who is in a very stressful part of the world. She is a new mother, and both her and her baby are struggling to sleep. I personally find sleep even more vital to my health than eating.…

My Prayer 10.14.24
Working on many things I want to share on my podcast...and continually interrupted by my upset over what's happening in our world. I am uploading the least in the history of my podcast, while feeling the most. I have not walked away...its actually the contrary. Im also working on getting a sleep...
-
Are You Human?
I spend so much time questioning the lack of humanity I see, and feeling desperate to find the humans. Could we all be different alien species, or is being human more like a decision?I know this is a short one, but its a great question to ask.Shout-out to the band The Killers for helping me make…

14 Days & 40 Years
I finished a book I've been working on for for a very long time, and the best way to tell you about it is to share the back cover, the Preface, and the Prologue. I hope this sounds like a book worth reading.
-
1+1=2
Everything in life is an equation with a sum. It depends on what sum you are looking at, that tells you what it took to get there. I'm in a position of currently needing to think differently because not thinking and just expecting an outcome was a bad experience. I'm seeing that intention, and...
-
The Glee of Liking Me (my book)
I've been working on a book for many years about self esteem, self respect, confidence, and self awareness. It's finally finished and available. This is a short episode reading the back of the book, and the preface. I hope it sounds worth your time.

Dear YES Theory (on Paradox)
In the recent past I started watching YT on my TV. Without being logged in-YT suggested a chanel that I started watching, and now have watched more than any other chanel EVER on that platform.Its called YES Theory. Their motto is Love Over Fear, and they fund their chanel with a clothing line…

The Age of Heroes
I didn't have heroes when I was young. In fact, I didn't look up to anyone with eyes of adoration. I'm not sure why that was, but the older I am the more heroes I have, and lately I feel like the heroes are too many to count. I have social media to thank for it because most of my heroes are...
-
Nat Chats With Andrea on Decluttering
My friend Andrea the Glow Guide recently said to me "I'm going to share ebooks about the things I've been feeling so passionate about lately". Then barely a week later she asked me to look at her first draft of her decluttering guide for spiritual growth. Andrea is a go-get-er and I can't say…

Part 9 on Anger -series end
I never knew asking friends for input could be so valuable. I've learned that sometimes its the smallest thing that someone says that ends up tipping the scales. Man, I love my friends. I've had to analyze my childhood a bit further to get this one, but I've learned something huge. I also had a...
-
Your "MO"
Many people don't seem to know they can choose who they are. And that includes choosing to be someone you like! Don't be one of those people who can't see the person they are presenting to the world. What is your "MO"? And if you don't know, now is the time to decide.I have to give credit to...
-
Part 8 on Anger with Kristine & the dogs
It was bound to happen that one of my friends would also be struggling with Anger, and we didn't realize we had this in common. It's interesting for me to hear how hers presents, and she does struggle with a combination of anxiety and anger. If you can ignore the dogs that want to be as near...
-
Part 7 on Anger with Katelyn
Not only the old are wise. The old souls in young bodies are also full of perspective and experience we can all learn from. Katelyn shares some things with me that I knew I needed as soon as she said them. And isn't it cool when someone less than half your age can validate your experiences and...
-
Part 6 on Anger with Andrea
This is a short but fun episode; we don't do an amazing job staying on the topic of anger, but we cover the necessary bases. You'll learn some new things in this episode that I might not have anywhere else. Andrea knows me so well we talk about everything and anything. So I really did have to try...
-
Part 5 on Anger with Sherrie
I have smart and loving friends...not that I didn't already know this, but in the sharing of my friends and the smart things they have to say in this Anger series; I am feeling pride at how loving, helpful, and willing they are. What a grateful friend I am in return -to have these people in my...
-
Part 4 on Anger with JT
My friend JT is moving to New York to get his Masters in Couples and Family Therapy. Just as much as I want my female friends' input on anger, (because it feels like a different struggle for women), I equally want JT's thoughts because he's a friend that always makes me feel understood. Honestly…

Part 3 on Anger with Melissa
I did this episode via email so that I could include my friend Melissa in my anger series. That makes this one considerably shorter than the others, but still helpful to me. I'm not a friend who asks for things, but having asked people for input and advice on Anger instead of a therapist, I'm...
-
Part 2 on Anger with Ann
Nat Chats with her Friends on Anger. This series is so useful for me already, and I hope it has some gems for those of you also dealing with anger. As different as we all are, its sometimes comforting to know others have the same struggles. In this chat with Ann, we cover a lot of ground, and get…

Part 1 on Anger with Rainey
Nat Chats With her friends on Anger. I tried therapy recently for anger...and it made me angry. I gave it 7 weeks...and now I'm trying something else: my friends. Recording this series has already been so useful for me, and I hope that it might be useful for you too if you need help with anger.…

Nat Chats With Jackie on Absurdism
I asked my friend Jackie to sit with me and tell me about her favorite book that introduced her to Absurdism...and this is my introduction. Its an interesting philosophy...hope you enjoy listening as much as we enjoyed talking.

The bridge out
I'm searching for a bridge out of anger. I've been trying therapy, but you know what really looks like is going to be the bridge...people. In this episode I ask myself yet again if its perspective...and thats absolutely part of it...but what I'm figuring out, and already working on since…

Leadership; it takes all kinds
Leadership is a hot topic on podcasts, and I end up listening to this subject often because people I enjoy revisit it. I have a peculiar view on leadership, and its come to my attention that what people like in their leaders -varies. I've been working a lot of years and I've had lots of leaders....
-
Is Anger a Choice?
A friend recently introduced me to Stoicism which is a cool thing, but has also forced me to address something I've felt for a long time and never made the effort to articulate. The topic is that anger is a choice, and while I accept so many feelings are things we choose, I see anger differently....
-
I don't do my Best
I caught myself asking a question I don't normally ask, and more than just once or twice...it kept coming up at random times over various topics. So I started answering and analyzing not just the question, but what MY answer is. I feel like this was a break through for me in my journey of...
-
Self Possession
I got caught up in upset, and I let myself down. Are there people who don't do that, and are they in Possession of themselves to the point they can't be pushed outside of their nature? When you do miss-step, is there still something good in that too? So many questions, so few certainties.
-
Dwelling
This is me feeling like I need to touch base because I haven't written, recorded, and uploaded since Sept 11th. I have been writing, but not much stuff I know I will share. But as always I'm thinking, and with the loss of my wonderful cousin; I am Dwelling. I think we spend life believing life is...
-
What is Tapping?
I've been learning about EFT Tapping, and experiencing immediate results. Its fascinating while being so incredibly simple. Have a listen, do some tapping, and explore it yourself. I don't want to be dramatic, but its kinda blowing my mind.
-
Who do YOU THINK you are?
Success, achievement, mattering, and being "something special" by the end of your life. Is any of this yours to experience? I think it might not be.
-
Casting Pearls
Have you ever considered...the things that make you YOU might not be things you should share or show just anyone? Do you have pearls? Do you know what your pearls are? To say "don't cast your pearls before swine" makes me imagine pulling out something valuable in front of a mob boss that he's now...
-
Being Self-Unaware
The Lack of self-awareness seems to be growing. No, nobody is perfect, but all of us can try to see what we are doing and consider possible consequence. Listen more to what you are saying, watch what you could be doing to contradict your own words, and maybe we need to start calling it out. If…

Loving and Longing
I've changed my opinion on Longing. I think its a good thing. I think we need to do it often to keep us appreciating the Loving we do. Even the loving we do that won't equate to having. In fact...having is not a feeling we should grab hold of. I'll explain: *you pushing play*
-
Trust Your Gut
I got thinking about how we have "gut feelings" and asking myself what that really is. I've learned to put so much stock in what my gut says because it's always a better guide than my thoughts. Then I remembered reading about morphic fields, the habit field, and quantum healing. In this episode I...
-
Needing Answers or Having Answers
Whether you have questions or you have opinions, your experience in a world with endless input is not going to be the same as another's. Perspective is the new word for "self" and no two people will be the same. We are going to need to learn how to grasp that fact, because the "teachers" aren't...

One Lesson, so many stories.
I didn't know that being an enabler enabled my unhappy life of enabling. Its like a catch 22 I didn't know I was stuck in. It took the tenderness of a great friend to help me see my patters by relating times she had watched me being an enabler that had me finally able to see it. Here's the story…

Friends & Friendships
It was in listening to people talk about friendship being an enigma to them and that they don't have many friends -that I found myself with so much I wanted to share. It was a podcast...so I couldn't share what I had to say with them, but it made me want to write a few things down and share them...
-
Hypocrites and Paradoxes
I need to pull wrap my attention more around paradox than I have been because I give so much of it to hypocrisy. The less self aware people are the more they become hypocritical. And for some reason I get more and more bummed about people as I hear them saying such stupid contradictory stuff. BUT...
-
Class Reunion
I had a class reunion this summer in 2021 and it was more than a reunion for me. It was a resolution and a healing. I didn't know I had so many unresolved issues related to my high school years until the night was over. I woke the following day feeling such a peculiar type of euphoria I wanted to...
-
Nat Chats With Larry. We have no answers.
In this episode you hear two people talking about super random stuff. We're telling stories, and admitting life is just a crapshoot of happenstance and we become the person we are because of it. I doubt we make any important points, but as always, I have fun talking to my friend Larry. I hope you...
-
Refusal is Choice Intensified.
I don't tell people what to do, but if when giving advice to my friend I say "you should", I catch myself and acknowledge I'm just talking, and I add to it saying "Not that you need to do anything I say". But recently, when wanting to give advice to this friend blamed for everything by her family...
-
9.11 Where Were You?
I dont think the question of "Where were you on 9.11?" is as much about knowing where you stood when nearly 3000 people were killed, as it is about how you felt in that moment when you were so shook that everything in your world froze. I know that America has a self centered view on world events,...

Consciously Comfortable
Who do you find comfortable? What is comfort? When are you comfortable? Where is comfort hiding? Why do we want to be comfortable? How conscious are we of these answers?
