Today, I sit down with Natalie Bedard — better known as NatNat — founder of the Lift Oneself podcast, and who works in the world of healing, energy work, and nervous system regulation. Ms. Bedard begins the episode by guiding us through a grounding meditation to help myself and listeners return to their breath, which becomes a central theme in our conversation.
We talk about her near-death experience and what it taught her about trauma, ego, and survival. Ms. Bedard walks us through how she went from being told she had six months to live — hospitalized with brain lesions and left without a diagnosis — to fully reclaiming her power through meditation, somatic work, and deep inner reflection. She shares how that journey led to the creation of Lift Oneself, a program and platform designed to help others break addiction cycles, regulate their nervous systems, and reconnect with their true selves.
Together, we tackle social media addiction, digital overstimulation, negative thought loops, and the war between our online personas and authentic identities. Ms. Bedard breaks down how the body interprets chronic stress, how to rewire your nervous system for safety and peace, and why our most toxic patterns often stem from ignored pain.
