    90. The Last Episode of 2025: Shedding the Snake & Calling in the Horse

    This is not a recap. This is not a “best of.” This is a shedding. In the final episode of 2025, Natty records from her bed—cozy, unpolished, unapologetic—and invites you into a threshold moment between who you’ve been and who you’re becoming. 2025 has been the Year of the Snake: a year of release, rupture, and transformation. A year of shedding identities, roles, relationships, beliefs, and survival patterns that no longer fit. And what’s underneath all that shedding? Your real self. Wild. Alive. Hungry for more. This episode is about honoring what you’ve released…and preparing your nervous system, your body, and your spirit for what’s next. Because 2026 is the Year of the Horse. And horse energy doesn’t tiptoe. 🐍 The snake sheds to survive. 🐎 The horse runs to live. Inside the Episode, We Explore: 🔥 Why shedding is not loss—it’s liberation 🔥 The neuroscience of contraction vs. expansion 🔥 How survival roles (good girl, peacekeeper, emotional manager) quietly suffocate aliveness 🔥 What women are actually shedding in midlife—and why it’s irreversible 🔥 Why letting people be disappointed is a nervous-system skill 🔥 The truth about productivity, worth, and the performance of “having it together” 🔥 How snake energy (release) creates the space for horse energy (movement) 🔥 What it means to stop shrinking and start running toward your life 🔥 Why power, pleasure, and presence are inseparable 🔥 A somatic invitation to feel what you’re done carrying—and what you’re ready to claim Reflection Questions to Sit With: • What did you shed in 2025? • What role, belief, or responsibility finally fell away? • What skin are you actively crawling out of right now? • What kind of horse energy do you want to call in for 2026—freedom, power, movement, stamina, wildness? • Where are you ready to stop managing and start running?

Let the horse run.

    89. The Power of No: How Boundaries Become Your Midlife Superpower

    Here’s the truth most midlife women were never taught: You’re not exhausted because you’re not organized or productive enough. You’re exhausted because you’ve been saying yes to everyone and everything for decades — at the cost of yourself. We were conditioned to believe that being a “good woman” meant being available, accommodating, agreeable, and endlessly flexible. That love is earned through usefulness. That saying no makes you selfish, difficult, or unlovable. So we said yes. Yes when we were tired. Yes when our bodies screamed no. Yes when we were already overextended. Yes when we were quietly abandoning ourselves to keep the peace. And over time? That yes addiction drained our energy, flattened our desire, and disconnected us from our power. This week on The Feminine Rebellion Podcast, Natty breaks down the most misunderstood two-letter word in women’s lives: NO — and why learning to say it is one of the most radical, life-reclaiming acts a midlife woman can make. Because here’s the reframe that changes everything: No is not mean. No is not selfish. No is not rude. No is honest. No is self-respecting. No is how you protect your energy, your time, and your life force. And this episode will give you both the permission and the language to start using it — without over-explaining, apologizing, or betraying yourself. Inside the Episode, You’ll Learn: 🔥 Why so many women are addicted to saying yes 🔥 What your no actually means 🔥 The neuroscience of boundaries 🔥 Why boundaries are internal commitments, not punishments 🔥 Why saying no feels so terrifying at first 🔥 Exactly how to say no (without guilt or explanation) 🔥 What actually happens when you start setting boundaries Because here’s the bottom line: Boundaries don’t make relationships weaker. They make them real. And the people who get angry when you say no? Those are the people who were benefiting from you not having one.

Your boundaries are not negotiable. And your life gets to feel like yours. Say no. Mean it. And watch everything reorganize around your truth.

    88. Why Midlife Women Are Living Contracted (And How to Finally Expand)

    Most midlife women think something is “wrong” with them: the anxiety, the tight chest, the shallow breath, the exhaustion, the shutdown, the constant sense of being on edge. But here’s the truth no one ever taught us: You’re not broken. You’re contracted. Contraction isn’t a personality flaw. It’s not “just anxiety.” It’s not you being dramatic. Contraction is a nervous system response — your body collapsing inward every time you move away from your truth, silence your voice, or perform a version of yourself the world prefers. And if you’ve been living contracted long enough? You start to believe that tight, small, folded-in version of you is who you are. This episode is your reminder: You were never meant to live contracted. You were meant to expand. Natty goes deep into the mechanics — physical, emotional, cultural, and neurological — of why so many midlife women feel stuck, numb, burnt-out, or “not themselves”…  and exactly how to reclaim the expansion your body has been begging for. Inside the Episode, You’ll Learn: 🔥 What contraction actually is 🔥 The subtle ways contraction shows up daily 🔥 How the performance trap forms 🔥 Why midlife becomes the reckoning 🔥 The truth about expansion 🔥 What expansion actually feels like 🔥 The 3-step process to move from contraction to expansion Because you cannot mindset your way out of contraction. Expansion is a body process — one that requires truth, nervous system safety, community, and practice. And the most powerful reminder of all: The expanded version of you isn’t missing — she’s trapped under years of contraction, waiting to be released.

It needs women who can finally exhale — and expand into the fullness of who they are.

    87. Turn On Is Your Birthright

    We’ve been taught to disconnect. To dim ourselves. To live from the neck up while our bodies run on fumes — managed, suppressed, and silenced by responsibility, resentment, and the performance of being “fine.” But here’s the truth your culture never gave you: Your turn-on is not gone. Your aliveness is not missing. Your pleasure did not disappear. It got buried. Under decades of caretaking. Under being the reliable one. Under being the good girl, the peacekeeper, the one who holds it all together while slowly losing access to herself. Under a life that looks incredible on paper — and quietly feels numb on the inside. This week on The Feminine Rebellion Podcast, Natty takes you straight into the heart of what midlife women have been told (explicitly or implicitly): that turn-on is something you grow out of, that desire fades, that feeling alive is for younger women, that your spark is a phase — not a power source. It’s all bullshit. Turn-on isn’t sexual fluff — it’s your life force, your intuition, your compass, your power. And this episode is your reminder that reclaiming it isn’t indulgent… it’s survival. Inside the Episode, You’ll Learn: 🔥 What turn-on actually is 🔥 How girls are conditioned out of their aliveness  🔥 Why midlife women feel “dead inside”  🔥 How disconnection from turn-on disconnects you from intuition, creativity, joy + power 🔥 Why turn-on is not indulgent  🔥 The exact steps to excavate your buried turn-on  🔥 How saying “no” to what drains you + “yes” to what lights you up rewires your entire nervous system 🔥 Why a turned-on woman is ungovernable  This episode is part reclamation, part revolution, part deep-within-your-bones remembering. Turn-on isn’t a treat you earn. It’s your birthright. And reclaiming it will change everything.

    86. Rewire Your Pleasure: The Neuroscience of Desire, Midlife Power & Your Full-Body Yes

    We’ve been taught to push through. To override. To live from the neck up while our bodies quietly suffocate under stress, resentment, and responsibility. But here’s the truth your culture never gave you: Your brain is not stuck. Your desire is not gone. And your body has been waiting your whole f*cking life for this moment. This week on The Feminine Rebellion Podcast, Natty cracks open the taboo we’ve all been quietly carrying at midlife: the lie that pleasure fades, that desire dries up, that our turn-on disappears. It doesn’t. It gets buried. Under decades of people-pleasing. Under performance. Under autopilot living. Under burnout so deep your nervous system can’t even register safety, let alone pleasure. And that’s exactly where this episode takes you — into the neuroscience of your desire, and how you can literally rewire your brain for pleasure, aliveness, and that full-body f*ck yes you’ve been starving for. Inside the Episode, You’ll Learn: 🔥 How neuroplasticity works — and why you can rewire your brain for pleasure at ANY age 🔥 Why your brain has been conditioned to prioritize stress, productivity, and self-abandonment over joy 🔥 The “well-worn pathways” of depletion — and how to bushwhack new trails toward desire, ease, and turn-on 🔥 Why your nervous system resists pleasure (even when you consciously want it) 🔥 How to build new neural pathways using 30-second micro-moments of pleasure 🔥 Why pleasure feels unsafe to exhausted women — and how to teach your system that pleasure is safety 🔥 The daily practices that retrain your reticular activating system to find pleasure instead of problems 🔥 Why choosing pleasure is a radical, political act that disrupts patriarchy at the root This episode is part science, part rebellion, part deep exhale — the kind that drops you back into your body after years of hovering above it. Because your desire didn’t disappear. It was buried alive. And this is your excavation.

    85. Why Pleasure Matters for Midlife Women with Dr. Nan Wise

    We’ve been taught to numb out. To override. To live from the neck up while our bodies whisper, then scream, for attention. And yet — your pleasure, your desire, your turn-on? They’re not frivolous. They’re fundamental. This week on The Feminine Rebellion Podcast, I sit down with the absolute powerhouse Dr. Nan Wise — certified sex therapist, affective neuroscientist, and author of Why Good Sex Matters — to unpack the science behind pleasure, the seven emotional systems wired into your mammalian brain, and why we are living in a full-blown pleasure crisis. And my god… this conversation will rearrange you. Dr. Nan’s research proves what so many of us have felt in our bones:Pleasure is not optional. Pleasure is survival.Pleasure is your nervous system’s pathway back to aliveness, vitality, and sovereignty. We dive into: 🔥 The seven emotional systems your brain is wired with — and how modern life hijacks dopamine + buries joy 🔥 Why social media has flattened our pleasure pathways and fried our seeking system (yep, it’s science, not weakness) 🔥 How trauma, people-pleasing, and chronic vigilance keep women in survival mode 🔥 The orgasm reset — why climax floods your brain with neurotransmitters that boost clarity, creativity, and calm 🔥 The truth about why women struggle with desire (hint: it’s not hormones — it’s disconnection, fear, and mental load) 🔥 Why pleasure is activism — and how embodied women become impossible to manipulate As Dr. Nan says: “Your pleasure is your most powerful resistance.” “Your body is the portal, not the problem.” “When women own their desire, patriarchy doesn’t stand a chance.” This episode is electric. Visceral. A reclamation. Because here’s the rebellious truth: Your nervous system is your oracle. Your desire is data. Your pleasure is medicine. When you stop outsourcing your power and start listening to your body, you stop contorting yourself to fit a broken system — and begin to rise in your full, sovereign aliveness.

    84. “Your Body Is Not the Problem—The System Is” with Jen Aks

    We’ve been trained to live from the neck up — to think harder, push faster, and keep performing even when our bodies are screaming enough. But your body? She’s been telling you the truth all along. This week on The Feminine Rebellion Podcast, I sit down with the luminous Jen Aks — embodiment teacher, author of Your Body is Speaking, and creator of The Power of Gesture — to explore what it really means to lead from your body instead of your burnout. This isn’t about doing more. It’s about remembering how to feel. Because as Jen says, “Mindset is half the story. The other half is bodyset.”Your body carries wisdom your mind can’t access — and when you start listening, everything changes. Here’s what we get into: 🔥 Why “mindset” alone will never get you where you want to go — and the missing piece you’ve been craving: bodyset 🔥 How your emotions are actually data — not drama — and how to decode them for guidance 🔥 The neuroscience of embodiment: how moving your body literally rewires your brain for resilience, confidence, and joy 🔥 Jen’s 3E Framework — Embody, Empower, Elevate — for leading your life from truth instead of from trauma 🔥 What happens when you stop fighting your feelings and start letting them move through you This episode is a full-body permission slip.A reclamation of the feminine intelligence that’s been buried under perfectionism and productivity. Because your body isn’t the problem — she’s the portal.Your nervous system isn’t weak — it’s your most powerful compass.And your emotions? They’re the language of your aliveness. When you start honoring what your body already knows, you stop chasing the next version of yourself and start becoming the truest one.

    83. The Divorce Rebellion with Meagan Norris: Turning Pain into Power

    We’ve been taught that divorce means failure. That it’s the death of love, the collapse of family, the scarlet letter of womanhood. But what if divorce was actually a portal? A sacred rupture designed to realign you with your truth, your power, your aliveness. This week on The Feminine Rebellion, I down with Meagan Norris — lawyer turned life coach, midlife disruptor, and absolute powerhouse redefining what divorce can look like — to talk about the identity shifts, emotional alchemy, and radical self-trust that transform separation into sovereignty. Together, we dive into: 🔥 Why divorce can be your greatest act of self-liberation 🔥 The identity work every woman must do to stop recreating old patterns 🔥 How to turn pain, betrayal, and rage into fuel (and power) 🔥 The nervous-system truth about emotional regulation and decision-making 🔥 The myth of “being the bigger person” — and why self-sacrifice keeps you stuck 🔥 Money as energy and how to stop outsourcing safety so you can start insourcing self-trust 🔥 What it means to build a life so good it doesn’t make sense Because here’s the truth: You don’t need to survive your divorce — you can rebirth from it. You can use the wreckage as raw material for the woman you’re becoming. This isn’t about losing your life. It’s about reclaiming it — louder, freer, and more f*cking alive than ever before.
