Episode 54 - Coping With Missing Someone
I had some thoughts I wanted to share about how it’s going with my husband being gone so much, and how I work through the hard. It never gets easier seemingly, but there are things I am doing that I work on to help improve myself and keep myself busy in this season. It’s not necessarily balanced, or perfect, but it’s simply living and finding ways to make that matter the most. Perhaps this is relatable to some of you and it’s always helpful and fascinating for me to hear how others cope with these things.

My Childhood: Storytime with Natalie Part 1
Take a moment with me to hear about my childhood in a nutshell-my experiences of public school, becoming homeschooled and how that positively impacted me, learning to observe the world around me even beyond the physical into the spiritual and experiencing God’s truth as a child. This laid the foundation for my life, my path, and my deep rooted knowing that Christ is right there ready to work with us. Thank you for listening 🫶🏼

Abortion Is Not Birth Control
With abortion being on the forefront right now in political concerns/discussions, I felt that it was time to share a very vulnerable and important part of my story and relationship to this topic. I don’t appreciate people lying about the fact that we are treating babies and women as commodities and objects through abortion and its use as birth control for women who are in loving relationships but have selfish reasons for not becoming mothers. Please listen to the whole episode before sharing your response. And as always, thank you for listening and supporting a platform that intends to give every woman who wants it, a voice.

Hypocrisy, Thinking Speech, Fertility Awareness
Maintaining my promise to publish an episode every week for the rest of 2024, I come to you with an episode of ramblings around thinking before we speak, self reflection, and my own experiences with fertility awareness and developing the capacity to understand my own body and reproductive system. I hope this inspires one or more of you to come and share your own thoughts and experiences with any of these topics, whether different or similar. Thank you so much for sharing, listening, and for all your support.

A Bit of a Ramble
It’s been awhile, so I wanted to show up to share some thoughts and a lesson or two I’ve learned lately. I am so thankful for the opportunities to grow and to share and hear what others have to say too. Politics and social media take up way too much time, when if we really stop and think about it, there are many other things more relevant to ours and our loved ones lives that actually, in the end, have a better effect on the world than focusing on those first things I mentioned. If you listen to this episode, thank you. I appreciate you being here and your incredible support. Stay tuned for some amazing interviews coming in the next few months ♥️

God Is In the Entire Universe-Rant Part 1
This week I felt called to speak on God’s presence in the entire universe, including the zodiac and other parts of human exploration that many Christians deem devilish. There is more I would like to address here in future episodes, but this is a part of a series that I think of as opening one’s heart to true Christ-ianity in the fullest sense, stepping outside of modern day materialism and church deception.

Wild Pregnancy, Freebirth, Grief, and Trust with Alex Cefalu
Join me in getting to know Alex Cefalu, an expecting mother who is willing to speak on the hard things, and who found herself shifting in thought in so many ways during COVID. She shares her story of how she decided to have a wild pregancy and free birth with her first child; of her loss and grief; and the amazing concept that there is even meant to be mystery in death.

Mom, Wife, CEO-How Do You Balance This? with Ashlee Cervantas Thomas
Ashlee is an inspiring woman who works in the world of private security, who is the CEO of a very successful private security company, is very grounded and sure of herself, and has a light in her that I was so moved by in our meeting. She is passionate about what she does-motherhood, being married to the love of her life, leading a team of individuals who are good at what they do, and providing a service that is top of the line. Besides being a hobby goat farmer on the side, managing date night with her husband weekly, and being a loving mom to her two boys, she is launching another business on March 1st and has plans for a podcast or two in the future. She was part of a project that reduced human trafficking hubs in the Sacramento area and is very passionate about that issue as well. I hope you enjoy hearing what she had to share as much as I did, and that you will share and review the podcast to keep spreading the love!
You can find Ashlee on Instagram @guardian.ceo and her company @gpf_inc

How Sex Work Supports Sex Trafficking
In this episode I share my thoughts on pornography and sex work supporting the sex trafficking industry, and how Ahrimanic influence plays into what is going on the internet and otherwise. There is no justification for a job that can bring harm to our future young, and these jobs certainly are.

Showing Up, Working Through Imposter Syndrome & Jealousy
It’s been a few weeks since I released an episode and I realized I have this expectation on how many interviews I should be doing versus solo episodes. But then I decided I needed to let that go, stop holding myself back, and just share. Working through jealousy and imposter syndrome, and reflecting on how showing up will help growth whereas waiting around won’t call the women here who are meant to speak here. Instead of letting stress be my master, allow the blessings of life to lead me.
If you listen to this episode, thank you. If you shared any of the episodes you enjoyed here, thank you. You are valued and I am so grateful for all of you.

Beginner Energy
I felt called to address what it looks like to get an idea for the first time, to be a beginner, and how every human being carries this to some degree. The tendency to being dogmatic and unfree in the beginning of something is very strong for human beings and there are reasons for that. I have been reflecting on this in recent years with the rise in homeschooling, people speaking on Christianity, and the experts all over the internet. I felt called because these are two things that have deeply affected my life and have been a part of it since childhood, as well as affected many of my family members.

Intuition In Motherhood: Bettering the Postpartum Experience
By giving over our intuition in motherhood to the medical industry, we have allowed ourselves to get further and further away from joy and peace in parenting and raising babies. Every time we choose convenience over our innate sense we step further away from what both we as a mother and our baby needs. Replacing our loving arms with a SNOO, our sense of life with an Owelette sock, and our breast with a bottle gives us even more anxiety and more mental health issues. Fear of co sleeping has stepped in the way of so many women’s sanity. I’m suggesting stepping back into our deep sense and intuition, empowering ourselves, and knowing that all our baby really needs, is US.

Episode 36 - Thoughts That Limit Us
I have been becoming more aware of the thoughts that still hold me back from my full potential. This episode is a reflection on some of these and how I am not yet fully trusting God. Awareness is a wonderful first step for change and I am both humbled and encouraged.

Is Following Your Heart Not Godly?
My thoughts on the idea that “following your heart” is leading to marriages ending, genders changing, and that it’s the devil’s impulse. I break down my thoughts on what it means to connect with God, how we have to actually do the work beyond just reading the Bible, and that we are not physical images of God because God is not a Man. Why is spiritual science relevant, and important for modern Christians, and what is hell for real?
