1 + 1 = 2 MOST of the time when it comes to a situation, your reaction, and the emotions you feel. I fought allowing emotions for many years and I still catch myself thinking I'm supposed to not mind when stuff comes up. This is the break down of doing it and the realization we don't have to see it as acting like a 2 year old because we are having emotions. We ARE emotional creatures, and we can b...

I often catch myself doing or thinking things repetitively. It's when I catch myself that I decide I want to break it down and maybe find a whole new way of seeing the thing on repeat. And when the break down teaches me something, I want to attempt sharing it. Maybe you can relate to this too.

In my experience, the internal whispered words aren't always noticed when they start because they begin so quiet. I've seen that once they are loud, you have already adopted them and made them truth. But repetition does not dictate truth. My 2021 has me learning some old lessons in new ways, obviously because I have yet to fully learn them. Here's a dose of honesty.

When I recently talked to my friend Allison Olson about Love, we touched on a topic I thought I had shared a long time ago: The "Negative Committee".  I know I've mentioned them in the past, but apparently since my podcast started, I hadn't shared what you will hear here. This is my getting clear and fixing that so the Negative Committee is not some ethereal idea, but rather an unattractive and re...

Where do you get an education in Coffee and for free? Right here. I will occasionally share Coffee information, and see how far it needs to go based on what questions arise. If you want help understanding some part of Coffee, email: natandchatpodcast@gmail.com

Belief and truth are person specific. It's a basic concept, and only becomes more obvious as the world act like we should all agree. No, we shouldn't, and that doesn't have to be a problem!!

Not a typical recording...but one for you to put on to relax and fall asleep to -since it's the same mantra 9 times. Theta is the state your mind enters before you fall asleep. After childhood, you aren't commonly in Theta during the day. It's the frequency you enter as you fall and wake from sleep. Maybe this is useful to you. I'm going to see if I can benefit from it. ♡

My kind friend Zack Roberts came over and we talked about the desire to live a life centered on religion and faith, while struggling with input from others that you can't do that with a same sex attraction at your core. Zack fought his feelings for years and has recently decided his relationship with God is not dictated by the words of others. He is shedding shame and welcoming the belief that God...

Im not white anymore...I've decided to finally do away with the categorization of white as it pertains to skin color, and only use it as a word that has connotations of clueless, blank, racist, and segregating. Nobody has white skin, so let's stop allowing the purity connotation to continue. My skin is closer to pink than white. And for the record, what color my skin is shouldn't have any bearing...

Short and sweet, this speaks for itself.

Human psychology is as fascinating as it is confusing. Talking to people, trying to understand, relate, and break things down is how we ultimately understand ourselves. I appreciate the confusion of others because it helps me see confusion in myself. And clarity is always where I'm headed...hopefully.

It's love month, and hopefully you aren't all loved out yet. I sat down with my sweet friend Allison Victoria Olson to talk about this vast subject, and it went all over the place. It was good fun! Have a listen.

Watch and listen to people. Let them tell you who they are by the fruit they bear. Then decide if that is someone you want in your life. The answers differ for all of us.

I think everyone has something to say because everyone is in AWE. How has one man been allowed to reach this point of destroying himself? The answer doesn't matter, because he doesn't respect himself or the people that equate to the MAIN part of his job description. I feel like there are so many things not being said right now, and in my inability to be quiet, I recorded it for my release. One of...

I'm sharing this Jan 7 2021 and realizing there is a form of abuse I did not address with the events happening in DC. I have to just reiterate there are so many types of abuse. SMH

I get a little wordy in my desire to try and explain this, because we all know it, we all do it, but I want to quit doing it.

Something I've been working on for a long time is finished and available. It's called Intentional Intonation; Awareness In What You Are Communicating -A Respect Model It's available here: https://www.audible.com/pd/Intentional-Intonation-Awareness-in-What-You-Are-Communicating-Audiobook/B08QXDKQC7 Moving forward!

Should or shouldn't fairness matter? Because we know life isn't fair, but we also know it should be. A good debate for an age where technology COULD increase fairness!

People are doing one of two things. Progressing or Regressing. I know you've seen it. Where are you putting your energy? What is your cause?

It's always felt like "the right thing to do" giving someone the benefit of the doubt. But I've noticed that it most often comes with a "story", and if you listen to me often, you know how I feel about telling yourself a story to make something ok. That story is the mark of a cognitive distortion. So here I am realizing that (for me) when I give someone the benefit of the doubt, I am making up a s...

I had lunch with Dr Michael Jones, and in our conversation we got on the topic of my having seen a hypnotherapist, which took us through a conversation on Ego, then Drama, then Judgement, and I had to then relent to the appropriate feelings being: Compassion and Respect. This sounds complicated, so just listen. Sometimes a preface is unnecessary because so much gets covered in the meat of the stor...

I wrote this a couple years ago, and I never did anything with it out of respect for privacy. I think I'm safe to share it now, and as I read it, I recognize pieces in it other friends need to hear currently. I think there are reminders we all need in this. (On both sides of the story.)

Another realization of two things being similar in the way they feel, and also noticing why some people act the way they do. It's in the attitude, not the circumstance

Its hard to accept that most of what we feel is a choice. Its CHOICE that dictates whether or not something matters to us, or it does not...and what IF we consciously chose to feel differently? What then? That's the question I pose for myself. What if I just chose to feel something different? What if I decided something didn't matter? Is it in my control? Let's consider it is.

I sat down with my friend who has decided to tackle her old belief system -that she needed to be small in order for God to be great. Her religious upbringing in modesty, purity, and in many ways...shame; stopped her from considering she is beautiful, awesome, and wonderful. Which kept her small, quiet, and unsure of herself. Although her story is different from mine, I feel as though we have so ma...
