I'm back in South Africa and feeling hopeful. There is work to be done...and I know that I need help. Which is ok, so let's talk about it all as, once again, we get naked with Nate 😉

 

Another last-minute free-flowing stream of consciousness reflecting some of the important explorations I've been contemplating recently. Get into it, I think you're gonna dig it.

 Things I chat about (among others)

 

Mental health (and my hope about it)

Do yourself a favour and buy this incredible book (I talk about it towards the end of this episode)

I need help (this is a hugely positive thing)

I feel worried about going back on social media, so am going to reactivate one of my accounts and see how it goes (this one)

What's happened to the album I was working on!?

ALSO, in this episode, there are some absolutely E.P.I.C. tunes!

Much more, go listen, I love ya...

I've realised that I need help, which I talk about in today's episode of the Getting Naked With Nate podcast!

This episode is filled with an energy I'm sure will bring you joy. I share about how my break from social media is going, play some amazing voice notes sent to me podcast listeners (thank you for sending! You too can send your own by clicking the button on the right of this page), I share some of my favourite songs by some of my best friends.

Basically, if you wanna feel awesome, then I think this episode is for you. Let me know if I'm right (or wrong) in the comments below 😉

Doctor's manually stimulating women with Hysteria, humans finding happiness by being controlled by artificial intelligence, why we're still kind of like the fish we evolved from...and that's just a tiny drop of the ocean we explored in today's conversation.

Thanks to my new friends Shawn and Chris for diving enthusiastically into this chat with me. We free-flowed through a bunch of interesting topics after picking our own coconuts on the island of Koh Pangan.

Tell me, dear listener, do you like this format? Would you like more like this? Let me know in the comments at http://nakedwithnate.com

A few of the fun things we chat about:

Was purpose once intrinsic to the human experience?

Are we trying to find enlightenment because we’re bored?

Are we meant to seek a higher purpose?

How every new invention means giving something up

Why this age is called the Anthropocene

Maslow’s hierarchy of needs

Brene Brown’s incredible TED talk about vulnerability

Radio Lab series about sex & gender

Why we’re still kinda like fish

Why science shouldn’t kill wonder

How women’s orgasms weren’t considered real until recently and how the invented women’s illness of ‘Hysteria’ ended up creating the vibrator…

AND SO MUCH MORE…

Social media is addictive. This is not a mistake but is by design. I'm a week into my month off facebook, twitter and Instagram. This episode is about how I'm doing so far...and also about the biggest failure I've experienced as a professional musician.

When science and spirituality agree, I believe we're getting somewhere. This episode is about how this whole universe is made up of molecules vibrating at different frequencies...and so in some ways, everything is singing and we truly are all one...

It is no surprise to me that this conversation ended up covering such varied and interesting ground. Today's guest is Spencer Handley, a mad-skilled musician, software engineer, sensitive soul, part of the Patreon team and even my Patron! When I heard the first song, Act So, from Spencer's new music project Creature Kingdom, I just had to get him on to chat about it!

Things we chat about:

How Instagram inspired the song Act So

Why Patreon is so important for the world right now

What the heck Reality Surfing is

Social media addiction

Death and how it can bring us together

Omg, and seriously so much more! Enjoy, I know I did 😁

This is a hope-full rather than hope-less episode, so please do listen even though it may seem to be a less-than-inviting topic. It's important we open this conversation up because I am certain that you know someone going through mental health challenges (maybe it's you?).

We need to be proactive and compassionate with ourselves and the ones we love, because hiding this in the shadows in only a path to further pain.

I've been quietly sharing my self-love videos on a site called Make Love Not Porn. Meet the woman who's seen them all. In today's episode I chat with special guest Sarah Beall (aka. Madam Curator) about why I share self-love videos on the internet, how hardcore porn is affecting society, toxic masculinity, social sex...and oh so much more!

This was turned out to be one of the most enjoyable and informative episodes I've recorded, I'm so happy to offer it to you 💛

My friend Ainslie and I were chatting about life, the universe and everything recently and I was like, "Shit, girl, you got some wisdom, wanna come on my podcast and share with the people!?" And so, here we are!

FULL SHOW NOTES AT http://nakedwithnate.com (http://nakedwithnate.com)

Topics explored:

-->Why it’s particularly important for creatives to know their minds and be able to manage them

--> Negativity bias - what it is, recognizing it, what to do about it

--> Why “being positive” and things like affirmations often don’t work to turn your shitty thoughts or negative mindset around - and what to do instead

If you're out there and you feel alone, this one's for you!

It came out of such a deep and unexpected place and I am so much in love with the song this episode is based on!
