PODCAST

The Nativist

Conversations on living intuitively to cultivate your best self. Every episode highlights methods and tools for getting out of your own way and allowing your mind, body, and spirit to do what they already know how to do. Additionally, I also seek to raise awareness and provoke reflection by having interviewees share their life stories and their best practices, as well as their thoughts on relevant topics.

Finding Your Fit[Ness]: Prioritizing Health, Fun, and...

The Nativist ·

2022/10/23

From the minute I met her, I loved Maren Harris Watkins - and I’m confident you will too. You know those people who turbo charge your batteries just by proximity? She is one of those. Her titles (mother, group fitness instructor, UpBeat Barre co-founder, former college professor, meme master, fun crusader) inadequately capture her full awesomeness. In this episode, we distinguish between body positivity and positive body image and highlight the risk of appearance-based compliments. We offer an

Want to work smarter not harder? Want to cultivate the life you want? This is your episode. I present to you two shining examples: Jess and Brandon Desfosses. Realtors, DIYers, property investors, house flippers, adoptive parents, birth parents, restaurant owners, social media content creators, community networkers, spouses…their titles are many. How do they manage it all? Listen as we chat about time management, motivation, ambition, productivity, work/life balance, organization, marketing,

My Eating Disorder Journey

The Nativist ·

2022/10/02

Here it is, another deeply personal episode that’s been a long time coming. Today’s topic is my journey with severe eating disorders. I share which eating disorders (yep, multiple) I experienced and what factors triggered them. I talk about my recovery process (including outpatient treatment in Utah), and where I am with it all currently. I highlight what has helped me, to hopefully help and illuminate an issue affecting so many of us, directly/indirectly. Thank you for listening. Connect with me

[How] Does Kindness Fit Into Politics

The Nativist ·

2022/09/17

You know those conversations that leave you feeling connected and inspired? This is one of those. Dr. Nathan Richardson (no relation), Ph.D., Associate Dean for Undergraduate Studies and Department Chair at the University of Texas at San Antonio, joins me to discuss some pretty key topics: the role of kindness and emotions in politics; the power of curiosity in relationships and critical thinking; and the futility of polarization. We address whether or not being centrist means you lack strong

Losing Faith: Leaving the Mormon Church

The Nativist ·

2022/09/11

I share my story on joining - then leaving - the Latter-Day-Saint (Mormon) Church, and how I feel about it now. I offer questions to consider, no matter your personal beliefs. I hope you listen - and live - with open eyes, open hearts, and open minds. I love you. Connect with me on Facebook and Instagram: @the_nativist www.thenativist.net/podcast

Loss: How to Frame It, and What [Not] to Do and Say

The Nativist ·

2022/06/06

Loss. The bad news? Everyone experiences it. The good news? Everyone experiences it. It’s a universal thread, tying is all together. It’s inevitable, though our individual experiences of it aren’t. We all experience loss, albeit it in different ways, to different degrees, at different times, in different ways. Loss doesn’t always mean a physical death; sometimes it’s the loss of a job, loss of an identity, loss of a friendship, loss of a lifestyle, loss of a perspective. Whether it’s your loss or

Politicized: Politics Over People

The Nativist ·

2022/04/17

The people have spoken. I canvassed for what you wanted to hear, and this was one of the requests: how “nothing can be discussed anymore without throwing politics into it” (and truth be told, ironically I talked about politics while talking about how we can’t talk about anything without talking about politics. Sigh). I share some thoughts. I suggest some perspectives. I offer some outlooks. I propose some points. Lemme know what you think. Thank you. Find me on Facebook and Instagram

The World As It Is

The Nativist ·

2022/03/06

In this episode, I share my thoughts on world affairs, particularly Russia's invasion of Ukraine. I offer (possibly surprising) suggestions on how to frame certain issues, and on how we individually/collectively contribute to the issues. Me being me, I ask (likely) uncomfortable yet key questions, and illuminate possible individual/collective blind spots. I comment on the world as it is, and the world how it could be.

How to Avoid Letting Expectations Ruin Your Day/Life

The Nativist ·

2022/02/20

Part of being a functional, happy, successful, ALIVE human is analyzing, anticipating, and, planning. Part of being a miserable, sad, resentful human is having unmet expectations. So…how do we encourage the former, not the latter? What’s the key ingredient? Expectations (did you expect me to say that?). In this episode, I talk about the sneaky ways expectations can screw with your health, success, and happiness - and how to avoid that. Love you. Mean it. -w- Find me on Facebook and Instagram

Make Yourself Uncomfortable: The Sneaky Ways Comfort...

The Nativist ·

2022/01/29

Life is messy. Life can feel tough. It’s complex and nuanced and uncertain, just like us humans. When we rush to restore comfort, we weaken ourselves, limit ourselves, and invite trouble. What kind of trouble? In what small/big ways are we denying ourselves a full, rich, fulfilling life? How are you possibly contributing to your problems and our problems? What are our possible blind spots? How can we lean into discomfort? Why is it good for us? What are you missing out on? I answer all of these

Living with ADHD

The Nativist ·

2022/01/15

You might know someone with ADHD. You might have ADHD. You might not even know you have ADHD. In this episode, I dig into my personal experience with getting diagnosed with ADHD later in life (age 25) by two different doctors before realizing WHOA - I’m a textbook example of ADHD. If you’re like me, you maybe have/had a very limited understanding of ADHD and its various symptoms. This episode will help you identify those symptoms, understand them, and leverage them - whether personally or

Loyalty

2021/12/27

What does loyalty entail? What should it entail? Loyalty to a partner, to a friend, to a brand, to a vendor, to a family member, to a country, to a cause, to an ideology… As with most topics, it’s nuanced. It can be contextual. It’s tempting to simplify and reduce it, but that often ignores reality and limits us: our understanding, our growth, our relationships, our empathy, our compassion, our progress, our wisdom, our lives. What does loyalty mean to you? To those in your life? Do your definitions

A Match for Your Mountain

The Nativist ·

Suddenly being told to rush your “healthy” baby to the ER because those seemingly minor symptoms actually reveal a serious, lifelong condition would unnerve virtually any parent, especially if you’re a first timer. Roman Ternus is one special girl in her own special way (you’ll see what I mean in the intro). She sparkles, she dazzles, she charms, and she inspires. She is full of life and light, undeterred by life’s curvies thrown her way. Diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes (T1D) at only one year old,

When Preparation Meets Opportunity

This episode has major star power. We’re graced with the presence of Jessica E. Jones, aka IVYWILD: Grammy winner, multi-faceted singer, childhood friend, and light bringer. Possibly most important? She performed for RBG herself. What a claim to fame. Not only does she have the speaking voice of a Disney princess, but she’s an exceptionally articulate, driven, talented, lovely person. In this episode, we highlight how talent may get you in the race, but hard work, tenacity, and interpersonal skills

In honor of Native American Heritage Month, Effie Hernandez comes on the pod to inform and inspire. Effie is a member of the Shoshone Tribe and works as a multi-cultural coordinator for a community college in Idaho Falls. Though Effie provides great resources and insight for planning your future (especially for Indigenous youth), this isn’t just for teenagers contemplating college.

Perspective

The Nativist ·

2021/11/07

Wow. I get into it with this episode. There are a lot of hurting/struggling/frustrated/disgruntled people in the world, and especially in the US. And there are a lot of reasons behind the suffering and discontent - as well as a lot of proposed solutions. There’s also a lot of blaming, criticizing, and side taking. What’s the role of perspective in all of this? What’s the worth of other perspectives, particularly when facing a problem? What’s the value of staying open and entertaining other views

What Does Authenticity Look Like?

The Nativist ·

2021/10/10

In a world where we're expected to "keep it real" while "keeping up with the (insert entity here)," life gets complicated. Vulnerability and authenticity are buzzwords, but what do they really mean? How do they manifest? We're advised to be genuine - as long as it's socially acceptable. What does loving and being our true self really look like? Can our "true self" fluctuate? Does being real require full disclosure? Can we be authentic while still maintaining privacy and selective disclosure? What

Toxic Venting vs. Healthy Venting

The Nativist ·

2021/08/21

Are you a toxic venter or a healthy venter? You may know how important feeling and processing your emotions are. Repressing them just allows them to metastasize and eventually explode in a bigger and uglier way. Venting can help you gain perspective and clarity, and assist you in moving forward and healing. Venting can be necessary. Leaving emotions/frustrations/anger bottled up can be toxic - but so can venting if we do it a certain way. In this episode, I highlight specific signs of both toxic

Dare to Follow

The Nativist ·

2021/08/09

Leadership is a sweetheart topic. We’re inundated with advice and resources and guidance on being an effective leader. We’re taught to seek to lead, not follow. We’re taught to value leading over following; to respect leaders more than followers. And while there’s merit and value in striving to aim high and lead (in whatever form that takes: in your own life, in a team, etc) there can be just as much merit and value in following (particularly in the discernment of knowing WHEN to follow versus WHEN

Lead Laugh Love: Different Ways to Lead from Where...

The Nativist ·

2021/07/17

Leadership. It’s often glorified and discussed, often regarding a formal role, position, or status. How reductive and limiting. No matter what organization you’re part of, or group you belong to, or title you have/lack - YOU are and can be a leader - at the very least, the leader of your own dang life. In this episode, I highlight various ways we can lead from where we stand, no matter who we are or what we do (some will likely surprise you). I outline subtle and overt ways we can
