In this episode, Nat Dekine returns to the studio after taking time away to complete her deeply personal memoir. She opens up about the heart of the book—sharing her journey through religious and childhood trauma, how she found the strength to break free, and the path that led her toward healing and self-discovery.

Nat also reflects on her evolution into the healing arts, including her work as a Reiki Master/Teacher and Sound Healing Practitioner, and how these practices have supported her transformation.

She closes the episode by sharing what’s ahead for the podcast in 2026, along with a glimpse into her life over the past several months—embracing a new chapter of love, marriage, and intentional presence with her wife.

This week, I’m joined by the phenomenal Tammaka Staley — a spoken word artivist, sex educator, and healing justice practitioner ✨🌈.

Together, we share a raw and unfiltered conversation on healing, navigating sexuality, and resisting systemic oppression.

🎙️ With deep honesty and vulnerability, Tammaka reminds us that healing isn’t just personal — it’s collective, cultural, and revolutionary.

Pull up a seat — this session is about truth-telling, resilience, and reclaiming wholeness.

In this week’s conversation, we’re going deeper than just surface-level healing. We're talking about the inner work, the mindset shifts, the untangling of perfectionism, and the journey of self-awareness through different healing arts modalities.

🌱 What does it look like to heal when the wounds aren't visible?
🧠 How do our thoughts and beliefs shape our healing process?
💫 And how can tools like energy work, somatic practices, or mindfulness truly help?

Our guest brings insight, compassion, and a deep knowledge of integrative healing sharing how these practices can unlock clarity, peace, and growth for anyone open to the journey.

This is an episode for the thinkers, the feelers, the ones ready to soften into healing.
