Naturalies
42 episodes - English - Latest episode: 14 days ago - ★★★★★ - 55 ratingsNaturalies. My name is Samantha-Jo, I am the host for this amazing podcast that I am hoping save souls. My reasoning for starting this podcast came about after I gave my life to Christ on July 11, 2021. I started finding myself constantly want to talk about my struggles (HOT: humble, open & transparent), the things that have given me strength, the things God has done for me & most importantly the things I know that God has for me. I know you're thinking "oh here we go with some religious podcast" but I'm asking that you look deeper than that. I am a Christian & yes I pray this podcast changes lives in ways beyond my belief but if its not enough to convince you to stay I will also mention the other things I am that God has allowed me to be. I am a single Mother of 4, YES FOUR amazing boys who at the end of this year will be 12, 6, 4 & 2. I am a business owner (if you have instagram JosCraftShack & Sheis.waisted). I am also a nurse, I have been for almost 4 years now. So again if religion isnt enough to convince you to stay then stick around for the other things I have to offer. Why Naturalies? I recently (1 year ago) left a very toxic relationship after 8 years & literally started completely over in the middle of the pandemic with all 4 children. I literally built my own kitchen table, tv stand, coffee table, my bed & childrens bed & started over knowing only what I thought I knew. Black women have been placed in boxes all of our lives. "Starting over is harder than you think so you should probably stay" "You cant do it without this person or that person", "You have to act this way, its not lady like to do it that way", "You cant jump out on faith because nobody in our family has done that", "You cant be better than what you come from", "your idea isnt good enough to take you there" ALL LIES, LIES, AND MORE LIES THAT PEOPLE HAVE PLACED ON BLACK WOMEN & LADIES YOU DO NOT HAVE TO AGREE TO MEET ANY STANDARD YOU, YOURSELF, DID NOT SET! This is my safe haven for black women, no matter what you look like, your body size, your bank account or profession, single mom, married mom, in a bad situation, left a bad situation LISTEN I do not care. Come, let your hair down, act the way you want to act even if it doesn't make sense to anyone else, cry a little, heal a lot & know that this is a sisterhood. Im so ready for this journey. I love you ladies.

You Have What it Takes
May 20, 2024 22:54 - 48 minutes - 44.3 MBYou have what it takes and you can't allow yourself to believe that you don't.

ALLOW YOURSELF TO PUSH PAST YOUR OWN LIMITATIONS SO GOD CAN SHOW YOU WHO YOU ARE. Collaboration Information: @Momcozy https://shop.tiktok.com/view/product/1729415071275652071
Do You Trust God?
May 09, 2024 23:03 - 44 minutes - 41.1 MBDo you trust God enough to give him back the thing he has given to you in faith that he will give it back to you when you need it? Often times we think that because it came from God he won't ask for it back. See sometimes God will ask for it back to see if you trust him like you say you do. Sometimes he will ask for it back because you are not stewarding well over it. & another reason he may ask for it back is because he has plans to give you that thing back but in another way. God promised ...
Don't Let The Enemy Steal Your Joy
April 20, 2024 03:25 - 18 minutes - 17.1 MBOriginally this started off as a marriage podcast but Holy Spirit had other plans. We got this crazy on the spot revelation where God did what I call a two for one special where he uses two different situations for one purpose. The purpose of this on the spot revelation was God reminding us not to let the devil steal our joy. Often times we get so wrapped up in God doing things the way we want, when we want, and when it doesn't happen that way we begin complaining but failing to realize and ...
Your Marriage is Your Assignment
March 27, 2024 21:27 - 1 hour - 68.1 MBI have learned so much through my short time of being married. I have realized how marriage is truly a continuous sacrifice but a sacrifice you don't mind making even when it is hard because it feeds not only you but your spirit. Culture has tainted marriage and just because everyone is married doesn't mean its a Godly marriage. Culture has convinced you that marriage is no longer the goal because good marriages no longer exist. That is false. Kingdom marriages focus on the marital princ...
Rejection & Disappointment
February 26, 2024 03:15 - 1 hour - 73.6 MBDo you desire to live in authenticity knowing that even with struggles God desires to use you?

You have now allowed your yes to open your heart to change which will take place throughout the process in which will set you free at some point in time. I encourage you to come to Christ full of struggles and with hidden skeletons in...
