A Few Minutes of Truth & Transformation

June 2025 | Monthly Musings

Hey friends!

It's June 3rd. My dad’s birthday. He would’ve been 74 today. Born in 1951.

Go, Garth. I miss him. I honor him.

And I show up for the life I still get to live. Oh, what some truth can do for self-transformation, eh?

I have a hankering to co-publish something with him—just one of a zillion ideas that race through this wild mind of mine.

Ya, so as a birthday gift to Garth, this month’s “newsletter” isn’t a typical one. It’s real-time, raw voice, and deep love. Let’s roll.

No News Is Good News (Reprise) 

Back by popular demand: the poem-letter-rant that y’all loved in May. You'll have to listen for this part, sorry.

Current Vibes of Truth & Transformation 

🔊 I’m co-hosting a Sonic Meditation Info Session with Ian Morris & Falyn Hunter Morningstar, founders of Listening to Smile, on June 6th—yes, 6/6. Come feel the frequency. We're talking frequency as medicine, and vibration as a way to alchemize what ails us.

Whether you're interested in my Sonic Meditation Facilitator 4-day certification, becoming an affiliate of Frequency Minded Music™, or just curious, this is where Spirit meets Science. Count on it being interesting and enlightening, no matter what!

Use the code BLOOMSTRUCK on anything FMM, and you'll receive extra ❤️ from yours truly.

🌀 Stories, Tools & Community for Healing-Curious Humans Volume 1 is underway! The co-authors showed up. The community is forming. We’re moving energy. We will be in a closed container for June. We will begin introducing authors and sharing more ways to get involved with this little ol' movement I've started. It's grown, folks. It's reaching around the globe at this point! P'rolly better watch #HCHx25 😉

You can join the actual launch team for Stories, Tools & Community for Healing-Curious Humans, due to publish in early October. Help us break records in reach AND impact. Wanna? Subscribe.

🖋️ I’m writing more of my own stuff—no more waiting. The words are coming through and the world is ready. Stay tuned!

📅 September 26–27 → The Healing-Curious Humans Extravaganza in Loveland! Vendors, sponsors, movement-makers… if you're local or aligned, come join us. 

🎤 Think Out Loud With Me is growing. It’s not just a brand—it’s my heartbeat. Bigger mics. Bigger stages. Raw, real, human AF.

In the meantime, I'm still going Live when I can, and I'm still loving every minute of it. I was recently on with Amelia Furman, a fascinating mixed-media artist here in Loveland whose studio sits amidst robots and data.

Oh! And the casts with Dr. Ingrid Clayton, author of Fawning (due out in September), and Patty Nagle are both HOT!

In fact, I've officially reached all continents, y'all, with listeners on platforms from Apple to Spotify to YouTube and every directory beyond. Next steps with this passion project have GOT to big, right?!?!?

Find every episode of Think Out Loud With Me here.

I've been working for many years now on regulating my nervous system. I've played a helium balloon on the end of a fraying ribbon, hanging on by a hair's breadth near an open window, for so very long.

Do I sound dramatic? Shit. It's exhausting, y'all!

I can now confidently say I'm grounded, and I'm stepping into a deeper version of myself that allows me to sit in meditation with others. I've a long way to go, of course, and will be in the certification class myself this summer. In the meantime, here's a go-to from my personal toolbox.

3-2-1 Breath to Big Toe (Mini-Meditation) 

For the fast crowd:\ 

3 deep breaths\ 

2 hands on heart\ 

1 moment of grounding—all the way to your big toes.

For the rest of us...

Sit tall. Drop your shoulders. Unclench your jaw.

Breathe in for 3.

Hold for 3.

Out for 3.

Again.

And again.

Now—TWO hands on heart.

Feel it.

That’s you.

That’s your rhythm.

Then—bring your focus all the way down to ONE big toe.

For me, it's usually my right one.

Wiggle it. Feel the joint and the skin move, respond to your mind's instructions.

Sit for a minute. In the presence. The miracle of being alive.

Come back. Slowly. With love.

Maybe a smile.

You’re here. You’re back. You’re human.

And at this point, you're so compelled to action and be in touch with me, you've likely lost your mind. In case you still have it and are interested, I’ve wrangled all my links into one spot: 1qr.com/nataliep

💌 Share this with someone you love. 

💬 Think out loud with me—send a reply, voice note, or video. 

🌱 Let’s keep growing this thing.

Deep roots. Bold blooms. Always with love.

See you next time!

P.S. Do you follow me on social? I have the most fun! IG Stories for me!

I met Marion on a recent exciting weekend excursion to Sam's Club. Marion, mother of 9, was born in South Africa. She was orphaned at 13 and soon adopted by a German man who sent her to good schools and gave her a good life in Berlin. Marion was actually at The Wall - Live in Berlin on July 21, 1997, with thousands of others singing and grieving and raging and releasing with Pink Floyd as the literal bricks hit the ground. Holy shit, I'm a fiend for stories, y'all. I'll tell you more of Marion's if you're interested.
