Empaths can be your best friend, or they can be your worst enemy. Empaths are the great people around you who feel and respond to things a little differently to most people. The physical empath will feel your pain, the emotional and intuitive empaths will feel your happiness and heartache as if it was their own, the dream empath will intuit meaning from your dreams, the plant empath will hear the needs of your plants, the earth empath will feel the needs and connectivity of the bigger picture in the earth, and the animal empath will understand why your Frou Frou is sad today.

I’m Natalie Patton and this is The Nth Degree, a storytelling show that’s meant to feel like you’re at the intersection of a literary bar and an intimate conversation. Each season, through stories, I’m going to explore a single topic to the nth degree. By that I mean I’m going to examine the topic to its furthest reaches in hopes that I can understand it better. This season, the topic is death and grief and all the things a person who experiences those might experience and feel and wonder about.

Yes, Jack Plank started out to be a pirate. His shipmates all liked him, and their ship, the Avarice, was certainly very beautiful. But after a while it was clear that he wasn’t much good at plundering. He just didn’t have the knack for it. So what to do? Jack did the only thing he could do - he went ashore to look for another line of work. The town was called Salt-wash, on the coast of the Caribbean Sea, and he had a lot of helpful advice from the people in Mrs. DelFresno’s boardinghouse.

One thing we know for certain is that sex is personal - perhaps, the most intimate thing of all. But sex is also shaped by a complicated web of cultural, social, and political forces outside of ourselves. Fear-mongering, moral panic, and outdated attitudes prevail, but if #MeToo has taught us anything, it's how dangerous it is to keep conversations about sex hidden from view.

And still, today, a wealth of novels, plays and films draw their inspiration from stories first told almost 3,000 years ago.

This audio training: Intentional Intonation, comes from my heightened sense of awareness in the ability we have to communicate what we are thinking, not just by the words we choose, but by the way we intone them. You might say this is one woman’s crusade to help the masses understand one thing better: you. To become a species of enlightened individuals is to bring yourself to the table already clear, whole, and full of respect for yourself and everyone else. 

Natalie McNeal opened her bills in January 2008 to find that she was a staggering five figures - $20,000! - in debt. Young, hip, and gainfully (if Dilbert-ly) employed, Natalie loved her lifestyle of regular mani/pedis, daily takeout, and nights on the town, but clearly something had to give.
