13. Humble & Sweaty - Barbie's Birth Story Aug 16, 2021

Show notes

**TRIGGER WARNING: We discuss very vivid parts of birth, premature labor, life in the NICU, breastfeeding and other topics that may be difficult to listen to. **

——————————

Based on the title, I’m assuming it’ll be mainly women listening to this episode. So, hello ladies!

On today’s episode,

I’m chatting with my girlfriend of 15 years, Barbara (Barbie) Mercado.

From our fake ID days, to becoming stay at home moms, the stories are truly endless but today I wanted to talk specifically about her recent birth story, that didn’t go according to plan.

At 33 weeks pregnant things took a turn for the worst and she walks us through the ENTIRE thing… and doesn’t sugar coat any of it!

She shares her struggles with postpartum depression, the guilt she felt while her son was in the NICU (and not for the reason you think), plus the BIG RED FLAGS she ignored prior to going into labor (hindsight being 2020) that she wants any soon to be mamas to be aware of.

Note: this episode is emotional, beautiful, and scary AF but it’s highlighting some of (our) truths behind pregnancy, birth and what it’s like being a mother. (And being it’s 2021, I have to say we’re not experts and are just speaking from our personal experiences)

Lastly, I know motherhood can be so lonely and isolating but knowing that we’re all in this together makes for the time between naps and bedtime a little shorter.

This is a safe space for me and I hope it is for you too. So please remember, you’re not alone!

Love you!

X Nat

Hello friends, this one is going to be a little different. We are under a hush hush scenario as Piper sleeps in the room next door while Riley and I invite you to our 24hr stay in LA.

10. Sex/Life & Avocados Jul 26, 2021

Show notes

After a very abrupt ending to our last show, I realized I just couldn’t get enough of my cousin Thania and we HAD to do a part 2. We had tons of fun last time, but I really wanted to hear her opinions on Sex, Dating & Single-Life, how to know if you’re having an unhealthy relationship with alcohol, and much more. We also spend some time breaking down the concept behind the hit show on Netflix, Sex/Life. Also, what do sex and avocados have in common? Guess you’ll have to listen to find out!

8. Surviving Death with Michael Drummonds Jul 12, 2021

Show notes

As many of you may know, I have a deep curiosity and fascination with the afterlife, mediums, and all things mystical. And I came across a video on Buzzfeed about our guest today, Michal Drummonds, who had a near death experience that completely changed the way he lives his life today. Fortunately, some time after the event he was able to remember every aspect that took place in the time that he was passing and recorded 5 hours of audio to capture the whole experience.

On the show, Michael shares about his spiritual life prior to his NDE (Near Death Experience), the clairvoyant interaction he had with mysterious figures during his transition, and what choices we are all truly faced with when we realize what we are all made to do in this life.

I would invite you to maintain an open mind on this episode as Michael graciously and gently shares about his incredible experience. I recognize that for some people this may be uncomfortable to listen to or that it might violate your religious beliefs, and we are not asking you to sign off on any of this, but to consider what makes Michaels story compelling. Enjoy the show.
