Über diesen Titel

 Meaningful conversations with folks choosing integrity over approval - homesteaders, healers, artists, makers, and parents growing regenerative, non‑mainstream lives (inside of, but not crushed by, the mainstream). If you’re multi‑passionate with '1000 tabs open', tired of self‑doubt and the fear of what others think holding you back from taking action... and you're seeking clarity, confidence, and connection that resonates with and regulates your nervous system, then welcome, you're in the right place. We explore regenerative agriculture and homesteading, home birth and ancestral nourishment, alternative and plant medicines, barefoot living, and conscious communication that improves relationships and restores self‑trust. Expect gentleness over hype, curiosity over certainty, and belonging over performance. Past guests include The Holistic Psychologist, Roaman (Music), Brooke McPoyle of Musical Breathwork, Rachelle Seliga (Innate Traditions), Chef Pete Evans, and many more voices living beautifully inside of -but not of- the mainstream. What you’ll hear: - Gentle, honest stories that turn overwhelm into one clear next step - Language and practices for compassionate, sovereign relationships - Courage to be seen as your wonderfully weird (and wise) self - Nervous‑system‑aware approaches to creativity, livelihood, and community - Real‑world rhythms: home birth, ancestral foods, tending soil, barefoot living Format and cadence: - Mostly interviews, occasional solo guidance and reflections - New episodes when the conversation is truly ready (quality over quota) Host: - Nathan Maingard - coach, musician, and fellow wanderer - tending a warm hearth where the curious, courageous, conscious misfits can gather and remember our worthiness together. If you want an ethical, grounded space to slow down, hear resilient stories, and take the next aligned step toward the life you actually want, join us on The Conscious Misfit.

  • The Organic Path, Self-Abandonment, and Reuniting Men & Women | Rachelle Seliga (Innate Traditions)

    The Organic Path, Self-Abandonment, and Reuniting Men & Women | Rachelle Seliga (Innate Traditions)
    Dec 18 2025
    Your body cries out, “Please slow down, this isn’t working, you're crushing me...” And society keeps shouting, “More speed. More screens. More 'fixing' yourself!'In this episode of The Conscious Misfit (previously We Are Already Free), midwife and cultural weaver Rachelle Seliga and I sit right inside that tension. We talk about the fork in the road we’re living through: the pull toward the synthetic path (top-down control, distracted escape, 'playing God') and the invitation to return to our organic biology, nature, and embodied truth.This is not a 'guru episode'. It’s two humans excavating and discovering truth in real time... including the grief, the loneliness, and the very unsexy reality of what it can cost to stop self‑abandoning and live what we say we want!About Rachelle SeligaRachelle Seliga is a devoted Mother and Midwife whose work is dedicated to midwifing a cultural shift - where our innate wisdom, personal authority and the sanctity of Life are honoured and centred. Her legacy work is INNATE Postpartum Care - Certification Training, which teaches the global postpartum tradition of "Physiologic Postpartum Care,” the unifying tradition etched into the blood and bone of postpartum women. Rachelle lives and works from the understanding that our physiologic design IS our divine design, which IS our blueprint, which ARE our original instructions. These different ways to say the SAME thing acknowledge that there is an order, a structure, a map to LIFE that supersedes human will; it is Nature's Design.Topics Covered:The 'bifurcation' we’re living through: technology + disembodiment vs the Organic Path (biology, nature, embodied truth).What truth in the body actually means, and how to track it when your mind is loud.Self‑abandonment: the subtle ways it shows up, and what can happen when you stop doing it (including the destructive side of creation).Ceremony vs paraphernalia: why powerful experiences can still leave your life unchanged without integration.Loneliness, sovereignty, and the slow work of re‑villaging (without collapsing into codependence).Why Rachelle believes the future depends on women and men remembering: we need each other.Stay to the end for: Rachelle’s vision for Rights of Reunion, a gathering to bring women and men back into honest partnership.ResourcesWebsite: InnateTraditions.comLIVE EVENT on Friday 19 Dec: Ceremony, Menarche and Culture Creation….weaving together her experiences of midwifery, Mothering, ceremony and culture work - https://www.innatetraditions.com/Ceremony-Menarche-Culture-CreationInstagram: https://instagram.com/innatetraditionsRachelle’s trainings mentioned: INNATE Postpartum Care and Physiologic Baby CareProject: Rights of Reunion (Rachelle mentions a likely in‑person gathering in September 2026)Physiologic Baby Care (with Rachelle Seliga)If this episode with Rachelle Seliga stirred something in you, here’s an invitation.Rachelle teaches a live online training called Physiologic Baby Care, exploring the physiologic design of babies (0–3 years) and what it looks like to get outside of “expert opinions” and return to what nature already built into the baby-parent relationship. It’s for parents, parents-to-be, and anyone who wants to understand the foundations of thriving human life.Carly and I are joining the upcoming round, and if you feel the pull, you can join us here:nathan.live/babycare (affiliate link — I receive a kickback at no extra cost to you)⭐ Support the Podcast & Access the Bonus Chat ⭐PLEASE NOTE: I’ve moved this podcast over to Patreon as the new host.

  • Why I Changed The Podcast Name: The Conscious Misfit Story

    Why I Changed The Podcast Name: The Conscious Misfit Story
    Nov 18 2025

    Welcome to the very first episode of the Conscious Misfit Podcast! It’s farewell We Are Already Free and hello new vibe!

    In this episode, I get real about why I changed the podcast’s name, what it means to be a conscious misfit, and how I’m learning to show up with more authenticity (and a lot less perfectionism🤪). I open up about my struggles with unethical marketing, the pressure to fit into society’s boxes, and the relief of finding a more human, heart-centred way to connect and share.

    Listen to learn:

    * The story behind the name change from “We Are Already Free” to “The Conscious Misfit”

    * What it means to be a conscious misfit in a world that often feels upside down

    * Letting go of perfectionism and embracing our weirdness

    * My journey with ethical marketing and learning from Marketing for Hippies

    * How to navigate self-worth, fear of judgment, and the call to share your gifts

    * The future of the podcast, upcoming guests, and a new experiment with ‘practice episodes’ to help you integrate what our guests share

    If you’re a creative, a healer, a free thinker, or just someone who’s never quite fit into the mainstream, this episode is for you. We are the conscious misfits: people who are ready to live authentically, question the status quo, and bring their unique gifts to the world.

    Thank you for being here. I’m honoured to walk this path with you. If you resonate with this episode, please leave a comment or connect with me at nathanmaingard.com. Many blessings on your journey!

    Ciao for now,
    Nathan
