To All the Men I've Tolerated Before

Stacey Simms, host of Diabetes Connections and author of The World’s Worst Diabetes Mom, is Natalie’s guest this week to talk about her career in morning news. Natalie and Stacey have a conversation about women being overlooked for promotion, proving their worth in the workplace, and how to have honest conversations with your co-workers about what it means to be a woman in the workplace. They also dissect what it means to use your knowledge about your audience to your advantage when presenting topics that may be out of their comfort zone or what happens when your audience’s comfort zone dictates what you get to present to the public. The episode rounds out with a discussion on building a community around diabetes and how important it is to understand someone else’s experience in a community you take space within. It is an episode that brings together two women from different generations who have a lot in common, even if their approach to their place in the general media takes different notes or tones.

Natalie had the pleasure to talk to Laura Danger after being a huge fan of her social media presence on the idea of “weaponized incompetence”. Laura will go over how fair play has a role in healthy expectations and boundaries within your marriage and relationships. Natalie and Laura will also discuss distinct examples that they have witnessed of this idea of weaponized incompetence where your partner gets to just not know how to do something and you pick up that emotional/physical/mental labor. Not only do they find that as a really petty excuse to not be involved in a laborious activity, but they also discover that weaponized ignorance is also at play when it comes to how women are treated within their homes, society, and the world.

This hits home with Natalie as she grapples with what dating and her own romantic life may look like in the future as she re-examines who it is she is actually attracted to and interested in, The women will dive deep on how it is okay to experiment, what it means to take chances even if they may be wrong, and how we deserve a society that gives us a safe place to try new things if that’s what we need to do.   Follow us at @menivetoleratedpod on Instagram and https://www.patreon.com/menivetoleratedpod on Patreon for bonus content!

This week, Natalie sits with director and producer Jon Lee Brody to tackle conversations on why representation in media matters and the experience one has when you fight for representation in that field. The pair will discuss moments in their careers where they became the voice in the room speaking for people that needed additional backing to make sure they were given the respect and treatment warranted to them. They also dive into how you represent yourself during tough situations or humbling moments is also a really great indicator to how you’ve grown or another indicator that we still have a long way to go when it comes to tackling topics such as diversity in film, education in our schools that includes everyone’s story, and what happens when your ego is dealt a blow.  Follow us at @menivetoleratedpod on Instagram and https://www.patreon.com/menivetoleratedpod on Patreon for bonus content!

This week Natalie is joined by friend of the podcast, Annie Sieg. Annie and Natalie will be diving deep on one of their favorite guilty pleasures, reality tv. From the Bachelor Franchise to the Kardashians, Nat and Annie walk listeners through how reality tv can be trashy but it can also reflect on how certain people in our society are viewed and holds a mirror up to our culture and beliefs. Reality tv may not be a classy artform, but it does provide a lot of people the chance to reflect on themselves while also getting to laugh at some trainwrecks.

This week, Natalie is joined by Caroline Addington from the Co-Create Podcast! The two women will be talking about how tricky it is to trust male enlightenment and the tell tale signs that someone is missing the mark on how accepting and loving they are for the collective energy, Another prevalent topic in the episode is the vulnerability that comes with a journey to being more caring, healed, or accepting. The resounding message is it takes a lot of learning, stumbling, and empathy to heal and to learn how to be an enlightened force in this world.   Follow us at @menivetoleratedpod on Instagram and https://www.patreon.com/menivetoleratedpod on Patreon for bonus content!
