About My Privilege, Mental Health Challenges, Worldview, and Training In Science, Marketing, Journalism, and Trauma Healing [S1 E3]

What does trauma healing have to do with marketing? And how does your nervous system relate to systems of structural oppression? In this episode, Natalie touches on these subjects as she goes deeper into her background, the lenses and privileges that inform her world view and her work as a “nervous system personal trainer”

Listen to Natalie’s noticings on:

• How marketing without the cringe is a matter of facilitating connection  
• Natalie’s worldview as an animist - how everything is equal, worthy, alive and sacred in its own way, including the animal of our own body. 
• Investigating what our unconscious is attuned toward and how acknowledging and addressing our privileges and biases is the first step towards creating new possibilities 
• Using both lifestyle and pharmaceutical treatments to deal with chronic conditions like PMDD and ADHD and how doing the work with nervous system regulation and trauma healing makes pharmaceutical support possible
• Natalie’s science background with soil and the challenge of holding space for both a scientific and animist worldview
• How science is just one language through which we can speak
• A little bit about somatic experiencing and how it can help rewrite the nervous system’s stories
• How nervous system work is just one part of the liberation puzzle 
• Consciously recognizing when we actually have to conform to the structures we are living in and when we just believe we do because of fear and/or attachment
• Breaking free from feeling like we have to do more than our nervous system is capable of. How approaching the nervous system with gentleness is actually more powerful 

It’s not a quick or easy journey, and it’s not always perfect but the possibilities for connection with the planet and ourselves, the seen and the unseen are endless.
