I Am Kobe

Welcome to show everyone and happy Labor Day weekend! I hope you are all having a fun and SAFE time, whatever that looks like this year. That being said, today we are embarking on a conversation that I originally wanted to stay away from but, in light of the past couple weeks I felt I could not avoid it. Yes, our house got hit with Covid.

Now, I typically shy away from politics and inflammatory content but, I always want to be honest and open with you all.

I invite my cousin Thania, host of the Faith and other F words Podcast, back to the show to update her on what’s going on with our health. Naturally, we discussed Covid, vaccines, and all the messy information around it. As I’ve mentioned before, I believe everyone is entitled to their opinion and their own process for making decisions about this topic. I extend the right to others to change their opinion on their views as I do myself, and Thania and I believe that it’s healthy and promotes growth and maturity. I want this to be over as much as you do.

You’re invited to this conversation to listen in as one of the girls or guys, looking to better ourselves, each other, and to look out for one another. We’ve all known others effected or personally have lost someone due to covid so, I do take this seriously and really hope you can listen today with an open mind and heart as I dive into this with Thania. Thank you friends, enjoy the show.

Welcome back! I hope you got a good night sleep last night because I sure did, thanks to the help of today’s guest Jess Hudson, aka The Sleep Whisperer, who is a Certified Pediatric Sleep Trainer for Sleep Shop Consulting. Thanks to her incredible work, she has helped me train Piper to sleep great so I can get my much needed rest and be the best mom I can be. On this episode we get to the many many questions that you submitted over Instagram about how to get that baby out of the bed and sleeping in their own bed to saving them from waking up often in the middle of the night and much more. Also, selfishly I share a little about why I personally wanted her on the show today. Tune in to find out why! Enjoy the show.

Welcome back friends. I am so thankful that you joined us today. Just a bit of a confession, today’s episode is a bit on the heavy side. Last week I was on my cousin Thania’s podcast, Faith and Other F Words and we chatted about some serious experiences happening in our family this week. I know there is a lot going on in the world and I don’t intend to pile on, however, I wanted to take this chance to open up about some things I haven’t shared. Thania shares about her uncle’s battle with cancer and the estrangement that led up to her recent reconnection with him. I open up about my brother’s addiction and his upcoming time to be served in prison. If this is too much for you today, I totally get it, I am struggling right there with you. I am so thankful for you all and I hope this conversation can bring us all a bit closer.

**TRIGGER WARNING: We discuss very vivid parts of birth, premature labor, life in the NICU, breastfeeding and other topics that may be difficult to listen to. **

——————————

Based on the title, I’m assuming it’ll be mainly women listening to this episode. So, hello ladies!

On today’s episode,

I’m chatting with my girlfriend of 15 years, Barbara (Barbie) Mercado.

From our fake ID days, to becoming stay at home moms, the stories are truly endless but today I wanted to talk specifically about her recent birth story, that didn’t go according to plan.

At 33 weeks pregnant things took a turn for the worst and she walks us through the ENTIRE thing… and doesn’t sugar coat any of it!

She shares her struggles with postpartum depression, the guilt she felt while her son was in the NICU (and not for the reason you think), plus the BIG RED FLAGS she ignored prior to going into labor (hindsight being 2020) that she wants any soon to be mamas to be aware of.

Note: this episode is emotional, beautiful, and scary AF but it’s highlighting some of (our) truths behind pregnancy, birth and what it’s like being a mother. (And being it’s 2021, I have to say we’re not experts and are just speaking from our personal experiences)

Lastly, I know motherhood can be so lonely and isolating but knowing that we’re all in this together makes for the time between naps and bedtime a little shorter.

This is a safe space for me and I hope it is for you too. So please remember, you’re not alone!

Love you!

X Nat

Hello friends, this one is going to be a little different. We are under a hush hush scenario as Piper sleeps in the room next door while Riley and I invite you to our 24hr stay in LA. We talk about the unique experience it was to bring a child to a luxury hotel and restaurant, how it actually informs and helps in Riley’ perspective as a father and hospitality professional. We give you the inside scoop on the top places to eat in LA, tips on traveling as a family, and much more. Hopefully our experience will bring you some relief on this midday week, maybe consider asking your partner this week to get away if only for a moment this weekend. Treat yourself. Enjoy the show!

After a very abrupt ending to our last show, I realized I just couldn’t get enough of my cousin Thania and we HAD to do a part 2. We had tons of fun last time, but I really wanted to hear her opinions on Sex, Dating & Single-Life, how to know if you’re having an unhealthy relationship with alcohol, and much more. We also spend some time breaking down the concept behind the hit show on Netflix, Sex/Life. Also, what do sex and avocados have in common? Guess you’ll have to listen to find out!

Well friends, it’s been a wild week to say the least. Piper started her first day of preschool and we’re trying to figure out an issue with her skin! Fortunately, my guest today and unofficial 4th sister, Thania Guardino, host of the the podcast Faith & Other F Words, joins me to hear all about the drama. 

Amidst a brief mention of sex toys and vibrating plates, we also talk about her experience with mercury poisoning, and how Tania has always been there to inspire me through the hard times. Enjoy the show!

As many of you may know, I have a deep curiosity and fascination with the afterlife, mediums, and all things mystical. And I came across a video on Buzzfeed about our guest today, Michal Drummonds, who had a near death experience that completely changed the way he lives his life today. Fortunately, some time after the event he was able to remember every aspect that took place in the time that he was passing and recorded 5 hours of audio to capture the whole experience.

On the show, Michael shares about his spiritual life prior to his NDE (Near Death Experience), the clairvoyant interaction he had with mysterious figures during his transition, and what choices we are all truly faced with when we realize what we are all made to do in this life. 

I would invite you to maintain an open mind on this episode as Michael graciously and gently shares about his incredible experience. I recognize that for some people this may be uncomfortable to listen to or that it might violate your religious beliefs, and we are not asking you to sign off on any of this, but to consider what makes Michaels story compelling. Enjoy the show.

Today on the show Natalie is joined by her good friend Emily to talk about the Wild West of modern single life and the challenges of relationships. Emily tells her about a recent experience that blew her mind. Between glasses of Fit Vine Rose and a keto friendly charcuterie board they pick apart all of these big questions. How do they feel about cheating? What do they think about polyamory and new labels for multiple relationships? Why are toxic patterns so addictive? Pour a glass friends, and enjoy the show.
