  • 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 share from the books Energy Medicine by Donna Eden and Quantum DNA Healing by Althea S. Hawk. I also share my little theory about our gut feeling actually coming from the fields that surround our body and dictate who we are and what we become. This is a different kind of episode because I have to share so much of the science to make my point, but I hope the science is as fascinating to you as it is to me.
    This episode is a thought experiment, but one I'm going to continue to consider for a while.

  • 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 going to disappear.

  • 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 of that realization.

  • 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 here. This is a short one, but its a topic I feel strongly about. :)

  • 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 what if I put my attention on paradox? Can I see less hypocrisy and more paradox with a beneficial outcome on my attitude? Will noticing Paradox make ME less of a hypocrite? I would like to think so. Here I am trying to explain...

  • 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 try and find words for it all. This is still quite short, considering, but a long story is not what I want to share. Maybe you can relate?

  • 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 find it fun too.

  • 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 members, I thought of a new word to help me be clear. And that word is Refuse. Naturally, I decided to elaborate.

  • 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, seeming to care far less about what happens outside its borders than in it, but this American was living in Europe on 9.11, and this was how it felt for me. I do struggle with mass destruction happening in any country, and that is why I don't watch the news. I can't handle it. I do feel that part of why 9.11 was so big world-wide is because New York City is a magical place, visited by so much of the world. My love and affinity for New York City no doubt contributed to my experiences.

  • 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?
