All humans have emotional baggage, and yet, so many of us are unaware of what we're carrying until we hit a low point, experience a health crisis, or recognise that we're in a painful pattern with our relationships or how we feel about and treat ourselves.

Natalie Lue expands her popular blog Baggage Reclaim into podcast form with a weekly show about how to live and love with more self-esteem by unpacking, decluttering and tidying up our excess emotional baggage. It's time to reclaim yourself and experience more love, care trust and respect.

    Ep. 276: New Year, New No, and Recognising the Dark Side of People Pleasing

    In the final episode of 2022, Natalie shares a deleted chapter from her forthcoming book, The Joy of Saying No. She breaks down how, to escape the chains of the roles we play and trying to keep up with our and other people's often unrealistic expectations and projections, we might act out behind the scenes, go rogue on the version of ourselves that people have come to expect from us, lash out, or experience the toll of the chronic stress of our people-pleasing habit.

A must listen

The best advice I have ever been given. Nat Lue understands how relationships and baggage work, and it’s the best podcast on working through your baggage.

Perfect listening, especially during a crisis of self

This podcast is one definitive lifeline. Highly recommended to anyone who is having a crisis of self and needs a path to start looking forward and creating hope in the immediate. The back catalogue will have something to help you think through your difficulties and start to see life in colour again. After listening once, you’ll likely be hooked. Thank you, Natalie.

So much wisdom on healthy relationships

If you never learnt about what makes a healthy relationship from your caregivers, this podcast is for you. Nat picks a different topic each week and breaks it down into simple, easy to apply wisdom about healthy relationships. Our world has a view on what a normal relationship is, but normal doesn’t always equate to healthy. Nat cuts through the world of confusion, drawing on her own experiences and those of her listeners. Love your work Nat.
