I hit myself in the face: My struggles with self-harm

These are heartfelt conversations with people living their authentic selves, and inspiring us along the way.

Hosted by Nathan Maingard (troubadour, guide, and storyteller), this is a home for anyone who feels the quiet pressure to be 'fine', to be impressive, to always have the answer, to get it right… while something deeper is simply asking for honesty, and knowing that you are already enough.

Some guests come from corporate worlds, some have never touched them. Some are lifelong hippies, some are high performers, and many are everything in between. The throughline is the same: people with a textured life, choosing integrity over image, and learning to bypass the debilitating pursuit of perfection long enough to be real.

For some listeners, this speaks directly to the loneliness of success: the heavy crown, the weight of high-stakes decisions, the strange feeling of arriving and still being hungry, meaning beyond the job, and relationships that don’t feel transactional.

This podcast is a space where the unsaid can become shareable, where you can hear yourself more clearly, like a mirror with the dirt wiped off.

Expect inspiring stories, laughter, tenderness, and the kind of listening that makes you feel less alone.

New episodes when the conversation is truly ready. Available wherever you listen.
