Real & Natural-ish with Natasha Pehrson

Season 1 ends with a recap of the wildest, most transformational year of my life. From Dave’s peak week and our chaotic holiday traditions to rebuilding my business, starting therapy, launching this podcast, and figuring out who I am beyond motherhood — this episode is a reflection on everything that changed me in 2025. I’m sharing the highs, the hard moments, what I’m carrying into 2026, and a li...

In today’s episode, I’m bringing on my tap coach (and now friend) Zach Kelly — and we get into everything from healing your inner child to choosing the life you actually want to live. We talk about how getting back into dance at 36 has been one of the most healing things I’ve done this year, Zach’s wild journey from almost-orthodontist to internationally recognized tap choreographer, and what it w...

This week’s episode is extra special — because my guest is my daughter, Gretchen! 💛 We talk about life through the lens of an 11-year-old: what she’s loving, learning, and navigating right now. She even flips the script and asks me a few questions.  We laugh a lot, get real about growing up, and wrap it all up with our favorite game: Would You Rather. Whether you’re a fellow mom, a curious listen...

In this episode, I’m joined by my own myofunctional therapist, Kelley, to talk about the wild things no one ever told us about how we breathe, how we feed our babies, and what tongue ties can really cause — for our kids and ourselves. From pacifier use and mouth breathing to sleep issues, picky eating, speech delays, and even adult jaw pain and TMJ — we break it all down. If you’re a mom, this con...

What if the symptoms you’ve been brushing off — the fatigue, weight gain, anxiety, low libido, mood swings, and even skin changes — are actually your hormones asking for help? In this incredibly honest and eye-opening conversation, I sit down with Brittany Meeker , nurse practitioner at Thrive Lab (and my personal hormone provider for the past year), to unpack what every woman deserves to understa...

This is the episode I’ve been nervous to record. For the first time ever, I’m opening up about my faith — what I believe, how I found it, and why I’ve kept it private for so long. I share my journey to becoming a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (aka LDS or “Mormon”), what that actually means, and the misconceptions I hear most often. This isn’t about convincing anyone or...

I’m spilling all the tea on my tummy tuck and breast reduction — the good, the bad, and the belly button. 👀 After losing 100 pounds and having four babies, I finally decided to have surgery — and I’m walking you through everything. From my obsession with finding the perfect belly button, to what recovery was actually like (spoiler: I slept in a recliner for a month), to the unexpected way it chan...

In this episode, I’m getting real about my entire weight loss journey—from the messy beginnings and childhood struggles to losing 100 pounds and keeping it off. I share what I learned about mindset, emotional eating, and why ditching the “diet mentality” changed everything.  We’ll talk GLP-1s, hormones, food sensitivities, motherhood, and finding balance without restriction. If you’ve ever felt st...

What do a 3D printer, a surprise Rocktopus, and a business pivot have in common? Apparently… everything. In this episode, I'm taking you behind the scenes of what actually happened when my income tanked, my coaching business disappeared overnight, and I had to figure out what the heck was next. We’re talking identity shifts, getting out of burnout, launching something totally new (hint: it&ap...

After losing 100 pounds, having her fourth baby, closing a business, and basically redefining her entire identity… Tasha is finally ready to share what came next. In this first episode of Real and Natural(ish) , she’s getting real about why she started this podcast, what therapy cracked open for her, how social media has changed, and what it actually looks like to rebuild your life (and body) afte...
