I get it. Sometimes you feel like a weirdo, outsider, or just plain different than most people around you. You might even think you are the only one who feels this way - you are not. Believe it or not - most of us feel this way quite a bit. Feeling like an outsider can mess with your mojo and take a bite out of your sense of self-worth. In this podcast, Natalie shares a case study that led to a beautiful new way to define your worth. This new context for who you are will be a game changer.
You're thinking things are going well, and all of a sudden...WHAM! Right in the face. Tonight's show will teach you how to handle those moments, and about the Pachakuti Prophecy.The Pachakuti prophecy is told in many ways by many different indigenous cultures worldwide. Pacha = Earth, Kuti = World upside down. Join Natalie Griffin to discover:- Tools for how to deal with life and yourself when the rug gets pulled out from underneath you.- Why the time of the Pachakuti Prophecy gives you a chance to realign your life the truth you feel in your soul.- The 3 levels of perception we can engage with life from according to the Shamans
Comparing robs us of joy. Another casualty of errantly confusing our self-worth with our net-worth is the attitude of playfulness (Cue eye roll). We get it! When we hear about the concept of playfulness, it sounds hokey and lame and for some - useless. BUT when we start to look at the opposite of playfulness as depression, the topic of playfulness can get serious. In this episode, join Natalie as she takes a serious look at play and joy. Discover the ways you might block play and how to start bringing a playful spirit into your life.
You’ve probably heard of the hero’s journey, but have you heard of the heroine’s journey? While the hero runs away from the village to face his demons, emerges victorious, and returns home a hero, the heroine’s journey is quite different.

For Natalie’s birthday weekend, she was able to spend the entire weekend immersed in art. It felt like an embarrassing luxury at first to spend so much time gazing at and listening to artists share their gifts. What she realized during the weekend is how necessary art is to truly live. Listen to this podcast and allow art to reveal to you something of your soul.
Disappointment is an emotion that many people experience often, but don’t have language or knowledge of how to express it. In this episode, Natalie will explore the nuances of how disappointment occurs and how to prevent feelings of disappointment from growing into apathy, and depression. Once again, we are keeping it real, because let’s face it, feeling disappointment is a part of life. So, let’s learn how to befriend it, and collect the gifts of this often overlooked emotion.
Low self-esteem, low self-worth, plague our culture. Lately, it’s been really making a mess of things with the help of the planets. When we are not awake and aware of our own wounds and how to heal them, those old wounds can boomerang back around in our lives again and again, striking us down into a puddle of melted Ben and Jerry’s. Only to feel worse about ourselves in the morning. In this podcast we are going to get real about how common low self-worth is and share what you can do immediately to start to turn things around into a way more positive experience of life.

Especially if your heart is longing for feeling more and showing up differently in life.
Since people don’t generally wake up in the morning and say, “Damn, I need a shaman today.” Natalie has put together a late night exploration of why shamanism is becoming more mainstream over the last decade. Not only do you need a shaman, but the world needs shamans now more than ever. Tune in to find out why.
In this episode Natalie will explore why we compartmentalize our lives and how to break down the walls so we can live a wholly expressed life through emotional learning.

In the next 35 minutes, Natalie will walk you through exactly how to sit with your emotions and finally discover the gifts inside of them, that will nourish your soul.
After freaking out in the desert, Natalie decides to be normal at all costs. In this episode you can hear more about her journey and what happened to finally take her back to her calling, to walk a wisdom path. She will tell you the story of the Black Trash Bag and the Iridium Flare. Finally, she will tell you how she came to work with Alberto Villoldo and the Four Winds Society.
