What's up party people?! After 16 years, it's finally time for my turn the chair. This might be a podcast coming from a barber, but it has nothing to do with hair (or rhyming). So, sit back, relax and hangout with me for a bit. Things are bound to be interesting.
Father's day this year was a little tough, but it brought about some important reflections I'd like to share. Here's a little bonus episode to remind you that I'm still here, still healing, and still grateful for it all.
Wrapping up the season with more joy than grief, and more love than loss. It's my pleasure to introduce to you, the one, the only, half-hearted, Nate D-O-Double G
It's the 2nd anniversary of the podcast! It also happens to be my birthday so you know I'm celebrating. This is a time to reflect and rejoice. I'm so proud of how far I've come and I can't wait to see how far I go. Cheers to two years!
What happens when you live life waiting to grieve? Do you countdown the minutes bouncing between anger and fear? Or do you walk in gratitude and acceptance, loving every minute of uncertainty?
The relationships I build with my clients are the driving force behind what I do. This one just happens to be one of, if not, my favorite.
To Carlo Tripoli, my most super senior, with love.
It's a beautiful thing to love a friend like a brother or sister. It's a heartbreaking experience to grieve their untimely and unexpected death... How do you say goodbye when they are gone too soon?
Grieving is one of the most difficult things to do. It can challenge you. Wreck you. Break you down into a million pieces. But it always gives you an opportunity to grow and rebuild. Not grieving, or living in a period of "un-grief," can cause you to hold on to things, and people, that you are meant to completely let go of. And that, is so much worse.
My guests this week are a double dose of wisdom, love, and kindness. Princess Scooshie Mama and Best Dude are back in the house! One is ready to be a star and the other, well, let's just say, I'm lucky I got what I got out of her.
I love the Grinch. Always have, always will. I fully understand why he felt the way he did about the holidays, and why he acted out of grumpiness. I too have a Grinch-like heart. It's why my family refers to me as "The Stinch." And just like his heart grew, so has mine, too.
I have an older cousin who I love like a sister. My cousin has an older sister who she didn't get enough time with here on Earth. Spend some time with us as we reminisce on a beautiful life cut too short.
Looking back on failed relationships can be hard. Especially when it has nothing to do with romance, and everything to do with friendship. "Best" friendships, to be exact.
Women are such magical creatures. We are made with the purpose and gift to create, carry, and birth life. But what happens when that purpose is not fulfilled? Can hope be found after grief, somewhere over the rainbow? Does speaking up or staying silent take away the pain? Explore this facet of motherhood with me and one of my life long friends, as she rips me right out of a closet I wasn't ready to leave.
What exactly is too much? Am I too much, or has my life been plagued by people who are just too little? Tough question, simple answer. It ain't me baby! Never has been, never will be.
What does life look like after losing a spouse? Join me as I talk with my mom, "The Co-host," about losing my dad.
Surprise, I'm back! The holidays are upon us and what better time to unpack some heavy stuff. Oh. You don't feel like it? You're not ready? Then skip this season all together because it's gonna be a wildly difficult, and wonderfully beautiful ride. But only if you jump on and strap in.
I was on a role and couldn't leave you hanging. So much for trying to control the universe. Enjoy part two and then go find a way to enjoy some Psylocibin.
I flaked out on you last week so you know I gotta hit you with an extra special bonus episode. Kinda like the shrooms hit me at Portola Festival last weekend, and delivered a life changing punch to my spirit, heart and mind. Like to hear about it? Here it goes...
We did it! And by we I mean Baby Steph and I. This is the last (regular) episode of Season 4, marking 80 episodes in total. Quite the accomplishment if we do say so ourselves.
It's a sobriety celebration! If I've learned anything during this time, it's that it truly is about the journey. I'm enjoying it, because the destination is not my goal.
I'm in the wading room. Similar to a waiting room, but covered in "the ick". It's a dirty, filthy, grimy place to be but it's a necessary stop on the way to change.
This week has been one for the books. But not a good book that you would enjoy reading. A textbook. Better yet, a math book. Ah yes, a good, old fashioned calculus book. Enjoy!
We know what love is, but you know what's not love? Unlove. Giving the barebones minimum, and sometimes not even that much, to someone you claim to love. Neglect masquerading as love that expects to be shown gratitude. I know a few people who are loved like that by their immediate family. This episode is dedicated to his parents. You know who you are.
I bet you'll never guess who cries this episode? But I should get a pass since it's about my cute ass niece and nephew. Hey, at least I start off with an angry rant about an internet troll.
Trigger Warning: I'm coming in cool and going out hot this episode. I truly mean to attack you personally with this one. You should be upset, but not at me. Be upset at yourself for the way you're choosing to do life. Hope the shoe fits!
Time to proclaim the good news! I'm festival bound and I can't wait for the bay, the music, and the trees that breathe right before your eyes.
First thing I did when I got home from my much needed getaway was unpack my bags. I had no clue I'd be unpacking some emotional baggage as well.
"Good morning. Good morning. Good morning to you. Our day is beginning, there's so much to do." Now Let's Elsa and Ana this b*tch and get some shit done!
In my line of business, regrowth means your roots are showing. In this episode, regrowth means there's still work to be done and lessons to be learned.
Look. I really can't help it that I'm right when I'm right, and I'm right most of the time. At least, intuitively.
Baby Steph is in the building! She's taking over the podcast because she's tired of me holding back. Sorry, not sorry, and please take offense.
It's moving day and I'm on to bigger and better! Well, except for my room. I'm losing space there. But I do have a backyard and a space to record in the garage, so, it's a win.
My two favorite guests are back in the building! Join us as we celebrate Father's Day, with a special guest appearance by real-life royalty.
Warning ⚠️ I cry this entire episode. Tears, snot, the works. It's a good cry though, so join in if you feel it. No judgment here.
Welcome back! It's the start of a brand new season, and I can't believe how far we've come. I'm ready for some big changes. Are you?
It's a BIG day for the co-host. HUGE day. Life changing day. And you get to hear her on drugs. Prescribed, of course.
Some things need to be said. Little things. Big things. All the things. And if there's one thing I'm gonna do on this podcast, it's say the things. Thank you for listening for three seasons.
The only difference between dreaming and doing, is taking action. So don't fake it. Take this life and make it your dream.
I survived Coachella and made it out of "The Bottoms" alive. Did I die? Almost. Did I have a great time even though Frank Ocean broke everyone's heart? Yes. Yes I did.
Last year, my wristbands were stolen. This year, I got the wrong campsite. I might have lost all my hair from all the stress, but at least my commemorative box, with all my passes, finally got delivered.
We can talk, and talk, and talk, and still not say the important stuff. The difficult stuff. The stuff that makes or breaks the divine feminine that is WOMAN. Use your voice and let them hear you roar.
Here's a non-alcoholic cheers to being "California sober" for a year! I can't believe it. Actually, I can. Because I'm a Badass Bitch who can do anything I put my mind to.
