To All the Men I've Tolerated Before

To All The Men I’ve Tolerated Before, the weekly podcast where host, Natalie Katona, invites guests on the podcast to chat about living in the world of men. The podcast delves into different male tropes the world has had to endure like the sports guy, the toxic boss, or the needy boyfriend. It also allows the guests to delve into how men have affected their comfort levels in the communities they take up space in like the horror genre, professional wrestling, or the military. After the honest, comedic venting, the guest and Natalie will offer up their biggest growth moment from having to tolerate the men they’ve discussed and offer everyone up some great manifestations. Let’s work on a better, inclusive, and safer future for everyone with some radical honesty and less tolerating! To All The Men I’ve Tolerated Before can be downloaded wherever you listen to podcasts!

Natalie is joined this week by Marissa Meizz, founder of No More Lonely Friends. The challenge for this episode is diving deep on what it means to maintain friendships once you are an adult. The two women discuss roadblocks to healthy friendships such as wanting to fix everything for friends, the fear of rejection, only having enough time to work and not socialize, and the toll toxic friendships can take on your mental health. There is also an examination of how misogyny and other oppressive systems affect our ability to make lasting friendships. Marissa has done an amazing job bringing people together for No More Lonely Friends and helping her participants believe that quality friendships are out there waiting for them. Natalie is hoping to take the energy from this episode and continue building the Team Tolerator community. What are your friendship green flags?

Natalie is so excited this week to be talking to Brianna Peters from Sad in the City and Gotham Production Studios! Brianna has grown up in Ohio and  begun her adventure out of the Midwest by moving to New York City. The two women talk about the point in which they knew the Midwest and the areas they’ve grown up in no longer fit their dreams or aspirations for themselves. They also reflect on how sometimes they grapple with that being difficult for the people in their lives and how to navigate those feelings of guilt or shame. The resounding message of the episode is no one is alone when it comes to feeling out of place in the environments you take space in.

This week, Natalie was honored to have a conversation with youth activist, Anusha Singh. Anusha is associated with Period.org, an organization that raises awareness on period poverty and fights to end the stigma against menstruation. Anusha and Natalie chat about her experiences going in front of Ohio legislators to speak against pink taxes on feminine products. They also do a deep dive on how period stigma plays a role in everyone’s lives and how the culture needs to change around menstruation so we can further everyone’s comfort in our society and within the workforce.   Follow us at @menivetoleratedpod on Instagram and firesidechat.com/nataliekatona on Fireside for the live show!

This week, Natalie is joined by one of her favorite coworkers, Marchea Wiley. Natalie immediately felt a connection with Marchea because they have something very important in common. Both women are on the path to taking their creativity and talents and making their brands lucrative. The friends have a very honest discussion on why 9-5’s and working for someone else isn’t working for them at all. They also go deep into what entrepreneurship meant to them when they were younger and how it affected their dreams for the future. They touch on why traditional workplaces go against their best interests and how they want to support one another in their endeavors. Whether it is through podcasting, content creating, modeling, or fashion design these women have what it takes to make a business built on their talent alone. Tune in so you can be one of the first witnesses to these two making it big!   Follow us at @menivetoleratedpod on Instagram and firesidechat.com/nataliekatona on Fireside for the live show!

Natalie is joined this week by a very special friend, Karlee. Karlee came into Natalie’s life and she immediately saw herself in the big personality that Karlee wears with pride. The two women are going to talk about the pitfalls they fall into when they try to bring their large demeanors and make them fit into dating spaces. One question they continue to ponder is whether or not they will always have to bend their egos, behaviors, or exuberance to make the people around them comfortable.

This week Natalie is joined by Caitlin Grant to talk about the ins and outs of how our society views single people. The women get real about the financial strain and emotional landscape it takes to be single in today’s world. Whether it is getting questioning glances from loved ones, feeling like everything in your life is on you and you’re without support, or wondering why your achievements aren’t as celebrated just because they look a little bit different than others…being single in today’s culture is still not as accepted as you would think. Caitlin helps Natalie have a cathartic moment of reflection on how you can really enjoy being single and the life you have built for yourself, but still be aware that society may not value your contributions as much as they do the good ol’ family norm. Do you feel like an “other” compared to your partnered friends who have started families?

This week Elizabeth Kyle is back and she helped Natalie realize she didn’t escape religious trauma. The goal of this episode was for Elizabeth to talk about Southern Bible Belt culture and it immediately shifted. The women have a cathartic hour where they let themselves express all the ways that the beliefs that were imposed on them in their youth through Christianity actually had a lasting effect on them. They discuss the way women are treated and represented in the religions they were made to practice. Natalie also has a realization that assimilating to Christian Doctrine robbed her of the opportunity to explore things like queerness, sexuality, and some other big themes that she has an entire different view on in her adult life. This one gets deep and it gets real. What did it make you think about? Follow us at @menivetoleratedpod on Instagram and firesidechat.com/nataliekatona on Fireside for the live show!
