Why your body is not a mistake

Meaningful conversations with folks choosing integrity over approval - homesteaders, healers, artists, makers, and parents growing regenerative, non‑mainstream lives (inside of, but not crushed by, the mainstream). If you’re multi‑passionate with '1000 tabs open', tired of self‑doubt and the fear of what others think holding you back from taking action... and you're seeking clarity, confidence, and connection that resonates with and regulates your nervous system, then welcome, you're in the right place.

We explore regenerative agriculture and homesteading, home birth and ancestral nourishment, alternative and plant medicines, barefoot living, and conscious communication that improves relationships and restores self‑trust. Expect gentleness over hype, curiosity over certainty, and belonging over performance.

Past guests include The Holistic Psychologist, Roaman (Music), Brooke McPoyle of Musical Breathwork, Rachelle Seliga (Innate Traditions), Chef Pete Evans, and many more voices living beautifully inside of -but not of- the mainstream.

What you’ll hear:
- Gentle, honest stories that turn overwhelm into one clear next step
- Language and practices for compassionate, sovereign relationships
- Courage to be seen as your wonderfully weird (and wise) self
- Nervous‑system‑aware approaches to creativity, livelihood, and community
- Real‑world rhythms: home birth, ancestral foods, tending soil, barefoot living

Format and cadence:
- Mostly interviews, occasional solo guidance and reflections
- New episodes when the conversation is truly ready (quality over quota)

Host:
- Nathan Maingard - coach, musician, and fellow wanderer - tending a warm hearth where the curious, courageous, conscious misfits can gather and remember our worthiness together.

If you want an ethical, grounded space to slow down, hear resilient stories, and take the next aligned step toward the life you actually want, join us on The Conscious Misfit.
