Naturalies. 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 a
The Naturalies podcast has truly been a source of inspiration and encouragement for me. I stumbled upon this podcast after seeing the host, Samantha, on TikTok and immediately added it to my list of must-listen shows. Even though I no longer have TikTok, I make it a point to come here regularly just to see if she has uploaded any recent episodes. This podcast has become a valuable part of my life, providing me with the motivation I need when feeling discouraged or unmotivated.
One of the best aspects of The Naturalies podcast is Samantha's unwavering faith in God. Her strong belief and reliance on Him is contagious and has greatly impacted my personal walk with God. Each episode serves as a reminder that we are not alone in our journeys and that through faith, anything is possible. Samantha's messages feel like she is speaking directly to me, offering words of wisdom and guidance tailored to my own struggles and aspirations.
Another aspect that sets this podcast apart is Samantha's transparency. She openly shares her own experiences, struggles, and triumphs, making it easier for listeners to relate and find solace in the fact that we are all going through similar things. It can be easy to forget that following Christ is an ongoing process, but Samantha reminds us that it's okay to be human and go through challenges while still striving towards living a faithful life.
In terms of drawbacks, one criticism I have is that the podcast episodes are not always consistently uploaded. As someone who eagerly awaits new content from Samantha, it can be disappointing when there are long gaps between episodes. However, I understand that life can be unpredictable and demanding at times.
In conclusion, The Naturalies podcast has had a profound impact on my life by providing inspiration during moments of doubt or discouragement. Samantha's faith in God shines through each episode as she shares her stories with transparency and relatability. Despite occasional delays in uploading new content, this podcast remains an invaluable resource for anyone seeking encouragement and guidance on their spiritual journey. I highly recommend giving it a listen.
After 3 Seasons of just audio I have finally made the decision to get a visual content. I am so excited to be back after almost a year. 2023 was such a wild year but it produced so much. My faith has reached a level its never been at before, my relationship with God has deepened in such a life changing way & my commitment to my assignment from God has been fueled like no other. 2024, I have been given the green light & I am all gas. If you are new here I want to encourage you to start from the beginning so that you can be familiar with who Naturalies (pronounced Natural Lies) is and what God has intended for it to become. & for my listeners who have been rocking with me since day 1 & been patient for my relaunch I just want to say thank you & I appreciate you more than words could ever explain. Thank you for seeing me as God see's me & thank you for trusting my process & tuning in season after season. 2024 WE UP!
Detour roads take us off our original route but it reconnects back to the original route in a different way. The same thing happens for the detours that God has us take that are off side of our original plans. James 4:13-17
A shift has taken place. Eyes haven't seen, Ears haven't heard ALL THAT GOD IS ABOUT TO DO FOR ME IN 2023!God thank you for the happiest year of my life.
Its time to stop second guessing yourself & stop letting the enemy try to convince you that you're not enough because you are. It's okay to be scared but jump anyway. Its faith over fear.I pray that you overcome the battle of deciding whether or not you should let your light shine or play it safe. "If you never jump, your parachute will never open."-Steve Harvey
Life doesnt run off routine, the moment we confine ourselves to a routine we forget that we are human, Each day is different and each day should be created in the way we choose to create it. Value isn't attached to productivity. You can rest & still be valuable, you can not finish your to do list and still be valuable.I pray that you start treating your days as art knowing that you're the artist.
-Matthew 13: 2-29 You might be the FIRST to make it to this point & that's OKAY! You got this, stay in rooted in this season of waiting & watch God fulfill his promise!

We attended Version 2 at Tranformation Church in Tulsa, Oklahoma this week for a 3 day conference & the experience was life changing. A breath taking experience that has literally changed us forever. You had to be there in order to fully understand.During my time there the Holy Spirit told me that it is time I start allowing other women to tell their stories on my podcast & here we have our first guest Ni'Dreema. She has attended my bible study group virtually for 3 semesters & this was our first time being able to meet in person. & its been nothing but love.Tune in to listen to her experience and how her life has been forever transformed.Dreema girl, you are so loved!

Do you struggle with saying yes due to things such as fear, feeling like you aren't deserving of the things presented, because its out of your comfort zone?In this podcast I talk about my year of yes that changed my life after reading the book "Year of Yes" by Shonda Rhimes. I want to encourage you to say yes for an entire year to things that you normally say no to so that you can experience who you are fully by going in to unfamiliar territory knowing that you have the power to grow & conquer things that you didn't even know you could.DONT WAIT TO START YOUR YEAR OF YES AT THE BEGINNING OF THE YEAR, START IT NOW! You don't want to delay the season that God has awaiting for you, that will literally elevate you in ways that will blow your mind.WILL YOU SAY YES?
Whats something you've been dying to start but you've convinced yourself every single time that now is not the right time?Some will continue to miss out on the season that God wants them to walk into because they wont START.DONT MISS YO FLIGHT!

This morning I had to remind myself "GIRL do not get weary in well doing."
A segment created for black men to be able to tap into their deepest level of thinking & answer questions that will allow them to expand their mind to see past their current circumstances in order to see their true value.
I explain what celibacy did to me and how Ive changed my mind about being celibate and just how God knows we have stuff, he just doesnt want stuff to have us. I decided to share this because I know how we get condemned for doing things that God knows we deal with but instead of being a community that uplifts one another, we'd rather judge especially when most come with a mess themselves, they just hide it well. So I show through my celibacy journey how you can really come with stuff and God will do a work in you. I admire living in my truth because I know how eager I am for black women to feel empowered off their story & allow God to use them, we are set free by our testimonies! So happy to be in this moment of transparency.
Listen, I am chasing purpose NOT a bag because when I am in purpose, the bag will be chasing me! Not everyone will get it. Obeidence + Faith= A Blessed Life
The Daniel Fast really changed my life & im so thankful for obedience because God rewards his faithful children. God heals the brokenhearted & I just know I am not my current circumstances. I know the things God has waiting for me THERE but in order to get there I must embrace "here". Here Is Holy!! God is love!

Creating a segment called "Help, Im Healing From.." Its for black men to share their stories. Black men feelings matter and its time we acknowledge that. I pray their stories change our culture. I pray they heal from the things they battle with & most importantly WE as black women have to understand that it is not always just about us. WE are culture & where one lacks, we all lack. BLACK MEN YOU ARE SO LOVED!
