Think Out Loud With Me
Hi friends! Welcome to THINK OUT LOUD WITH ME, a chat-cast produced, hosted, and humbly offered by yours truly, Natalie P., from my neck of the woods to YOU…in YOURS. I’m taking full advantage of a Universally-accepted, irrevocable license to be curious, and held by every single one of us to engage others in constructive and enlightening conversation.
After years of internal chatter, silent suffering, and physical and mental close calls, I was exhausted keeping it all together by myself. THINK OUT LOUD WITH ME is a search for Self, and a celebration of clarity, connection, community, and congruence I discover in the stories and perspectives and beauty of others in search of the same.
If I help you find your voice…ignite your curiosity…nudge you just a bit in your own favor…well, shit. I’d like that. I’d like that a LOT.
Thanks for listening.

E35: TOLWM + Sosamma Samuel-Burnett x Responding to Fear With Courage, Compassion + Voice
To React or Respond is today's question. At first blush, React and Respond feel similar in meaning, right? Your thesaurus will tell you they are synonyms for each other, and I’m sure we've all used the words interchangeably at some point. But if you’re a communications nut like I am, semantics matter, and a lot is going on between these two words that has me curious.
My guest is a woman I have come to know and respect for her deep commitment to responding to the world around her with love, compassion, and pursuit of justice. Deciphering her role in seeking justice in the face of fear at an early age, Sosamma Samuel-Burnett is the founder of G.L.O.B.A.L. Justice, a nonprofit in Loveland, Colorado, that works to inform, impact, inspire, and provide education and advocacy on local, national, and international justice issues.
⚖️ Justice: loving when it's hard
🚦 Human trafficking: in everyone's backyard
🪨 Hard stuff: talking about difficult topics
📖 Sosamma's story: on the shoulders of beautiful humans
👩🏽🏫 Being a teacher: incubating a future of intention
🏠 Micah Place: connecting for community, culture, and justice
🤝🏻 Of course, you should: experiencing Sosamma and G.L.O.B.A.L. Justice
We are hummingbirds doing our part. If just one person hears and takes action, and moves in their own life with a sense of compassion and justice because of what Sosamma and I share together, we will have succeeded.
