Nowhere Else Podcast

In this raw, reflective episode of Nowhere Else, we revisit two pivotal stories-spanning the same weekend, a year apart-that forced me to hit the brakes on my life. The first? An accident that totaled my car. The second? Further tainting the image of the eldest child. Both moments, though wildly different, led me to the same unavoidable moments of clarity: it was time to reevaluate my priorities a...

As a saleswoman, I am used to having an answer, a rationale prepared for everything. It’s something that has saved my ass on occasion, but it can work to my detriment too. Ever put something off because you want to wait until you feel ready? Is that really what it is? Or are you just making excuses for your fears, or lack of taking action? I used to make a lot of excuses. Sit in depression. Hold o...

In this episode, we dive a little more in-depth as to what’s on the horizon for Nowhere Else, as well as explain why podcasting & video diaries have been the most effective method of escaping for me over the years. Anchor: My anchor for this episode is absolutely going to be “Hey kids, it’s your mom…” videos. Whenever I feel overly stressed, irritated, overjoyed, or excited, documenting it for mys...

This is a question I was asked over the summer and then asked again a few weeks ago. It made me stop and think. My answer then, compared to now are dramatically different, and it’s due to the choices and the changes I’ve made over the past few months. Last year was one of the most transformational years I’ve ever experienced in my entire life, and I know that’s a big statement, but I don’t really...

Surprise?! I never imagined that this was something I would be saying, but here we are. The world has a mysterious way of forcing you to work through things. As a message to my younger self.

I, for one, have prioritized hustle over my own...

Allow me to properly introduce myself. Many of you may know me as Natalie Jean, Donna, DJ—any will do, but here, well, I like to think of myself as the conductor of this brand I’ve been building for quite a while. Okay, time to get this train moving. My entire life—for as long as I can remember, I’ve felt like I didn’t belong where I was. There was somewhere else I wanted to be or felt like I need...

Hey firefly;) This is a quick view into some inner dialogue from this past summer. Forcing myself to really get into the weeds of it all, so that when those moments arise—I have the language to combat them, or at least confront them with more consciousness. To continue to sit in the complacent state will only wither you away, at least for me…that is true. New Episodes coming soon This is a public...
