    49. Making Space for Death, Grief, and Legacy with Karen Joko

    In this deeply beautiful conversation, I’m joined by Karen Joko, a death doula and mortician who has created profoundly thoughtful offerings for people navigating death, caregiving, the loss of a loved one, and everything that comes with loving someone through life’s most tender transitions. We talk about death. We talk about grief. We talk about caregiving, legacy, healing, and what it means to hold space for experiences that our culture often encourages us to avoid. Karen brings so much warmth, wisdom, compassion, and humanity to this conversation, and truly, we could have talked for hours. There will absolutely be a part two.

    48. I Been KNOWIN: The End of Pretending I Don’t Know

    Have you ever received a “revelation” and then realized…ma’am, this is not new information? You knew. You BEEN knew. Your body knew, your intuition knew, your left eyebrow knew—and yet there you were, gathering more evidence, asking twelve more people, pulling another card, and waiting for the universe to send a notarized letter. In this episode, I’m talking about that hilarious, mildly offensive moment when the truth finally lands and you realize it has actually been sitting beside you the entire time, tapping its foot and looking at its watch. We’re getting into self-trust, intuition, overthinking, and all the creative ways we pretend we “need more clarity” when what we really need is to admit what we already know. Also, it is not Tuesday—my usual podcast day—but apparently this message had somewhere to be. Y'all, we are done acting like we didn’t know. We BEEN KNOWIN. BYE.

    47. Welcome to The Playground: A New Era of Joy, Play, and Authenticity

    The rebrand isn’t just new colors, new fonts, or a fresh podcast cover. It’s me giving myself permission to show up as more of who I actually am. Brighter. Bolder. More playful. More honest. More irreverent. More intuitive. More me. In this episode, I’m talking about what it means to evolve without abandoning yourself, to stop squeezing into versions of your work that no longer fit, and to allow your brand to reflect the actual human being behind it. Because healing isn’t becoming someone new—it’s becoming more you. And apparently, so is rebranding. I’m also sharing all about The Playground, my 33-day private Telegram experience filled with daily audios, happiness hacks, brain science, self-trust, play, silliness, and reconnection. We’re already at 45 incredible humans, with more joining every day! And as if this season of expansion and visibility couldn’t get any sweeter, my CanvasRebel interview is officially live! I’m sharing more about my story, my work, the experiences that shaped me, and what it means to build a life and brand rooted in authenticity.

    Season 3, Episode 46: From Shame to Love with Jessica Fern and David Cooley

    Welcome to Season THREE of Both Can Be True with Nona!! After an unexpected hiatus, I am BACK—and I truly cannot think of a better conversation to begin this new season. This week, I’m joined by Jessica Fern and David Cooley, authors of Transforming the Shame Triangle: From Shame to Love Using Parts Work. And let me just say: when they reached out about coming onto the podcast, I absolutely geeked out. Jessica is also the author of Polysecure, a book I have loved, recommended, talked about, and returned to again and again, and together Jessica and David wrote Polywise. So yes, having them sitting across from me for this conversation was A MOMENT. We talk about shame—not as something we need to get rid of or another part of ourselves we need to “fix,” but as something we can begin to understand differently. Jessica and David unpack the Shame Triangle, the different ways shame can show up in our relationships and within ourselves, and how parts work can help us move from shame toward greater compassion, connection, curiosity, and love. This conversation is such a beautiful reminder that healing does not require us to reject the parts of ourselves we find inconvenient, messy, reactive, protective, or hard to understand. Sometimes the way through is actually learning to turn toward those parts with curiosity instead. You can learn more about Jessica, her books, courses, and work at JessicaFern.com and find her on Instagram at @jessicafern411. You can learn more about David and his work at Restorative Relationship Conversations and connect with him on Instagram at @rrconversations. And while you’re here… COME PLAY WITH ME!! 🌈 THE PLAYGROUND 🌈 The Playground is my 33-day healing playground where we’re doing personal growth a little differently: with curiosity, play, nervous system care, laughter, self-trust, storytelling, brain science, and a whole lot less pressure to constantly be “working on ourselves.” You’ll get a daily 15–30 minute audio from me inside our private Telegram community as we explore boundaries, people-pleasing, perfectionism, intuition, relationships, confidence, identity, inner-child work, and what it actually looks like to become MORE YOU. No homework. No gold stars. No perfect healing required. Just come as you are. Come join The Playground And if you’ve been wanting to learn more about yourself through Human Design or receive some intuitive guidance, I now have multiple Human Design readings—including different types of readings for different seasons, relationships, and needs—as well as Tarot + Oracle readings permanently available in the Both Can Be True shop. Basically, if you want to understand yourself more deeply, feel ridiculously seen, and become even MORE YOU…I made some things for you. Explore the Both Can Be True Shop Thank you for being here, for listening, and for coming back with me for Season Three. We have so much to talk about. Both can be true. 🪩🌵💖✨

    44. You're Not Broken - and You're Never "done:" Demystifying Therapy and Healing

    Stop waiting to be healed. In this episode, Nona demystifies therapy and healing, and challenges the idea that there's some magical endpoint where everything clicks into place and you're finally fixed. Spoiler: that place doesn't exist and no one is broken, so fixing isn't necessary — and honestly, that's good news. Healing is ongoing, evolving, and deeply human.

    43. Unraveling Well: Identity, Burnout & the Body's Way Home

    Both Can Be True with Nona | feat. Natasha Ramlall What if burnout isn't the problem — it's the signal? In this episode, Nona sits down with embodiment coach Natasha Ramlall for a conversation that goes beneath the surface of what high-achieving women are actually experiencing. We talk a lot about burnout, but rarely do we talk about what's underneath it: identity rupture, disembodiment, and the cost of building a life entirely in your head while your body quietly checks out. Natasha brings over 25 years of experience in adult education and a deeply personal 19-year career pivot that became the foundation of her work as an Embodied Integration Coach. Her framework, Grounded Expansion, offers women a somatic — not just mental — path through major life transitions. In this episode, we explore: Why "positive thinking" fails when your nervous system doesn't feel safeWhat identity rupture actually looks like in high-achieving women's bodiesThe difference between a burnout you push through and one that's asking you to become someone newWhy the "disorientation phase" of a major life pivot isn't a breakdown — it's a doorwayHow to build your next chapter on somatic safety rather than sheer willpowerThis one is for the woman who has achieved so much and still feels like something is missing. The one who keeps doing the mindset work and wondering why she still feels so far from herself. Both things can be true: you can be brilliant and burned out. Capable and coming undone. And unraveling well — with support, with your body, with intention — might be exactly what's next. Free Resource from Natasha: If this episode lands for you, Natasha is offering her Identity Rupture Safety Pulse — a free 20-minute guided resourcing practice designed to help you find a pocket of internal safety when your old identity is gone and the new one hasn't arrived yet. No positive thinking required. Just your body and your breath.  Get the Safety Pulse here Connect with Natasha: humanistcoaching.ca  natasha@humanistcoaching.ca ✨ Work with Nona: Ready to come home to yourself?

    42. Not Everyone's Cup of Tea

    In this episode, we're talking about the obsession with being liked — the anxiety that creeps in when someone might be mad at you, disappointed in you, or simply not your biggest fan. That fear has a sneaky way of flattening us: we go along to get along, we don't ruffle feathers, we shrink ourselves to fit spaces that were never really made for us. Here's the truth: not everyone is for you. And you are not for everyone. And that? Is actually the point. Let's talk about what it looks like to stop performing "nice" and start coming home to who you actually are. New on the website! The Inner Compass virtual workshop has been recorded and is now available for purchase at andbothcanbetrue.com. Come find your way back to yourself.
