After a 20 months hiatus, I was so pleased to see that Natalie Lue has started up her podcast again. Natalie Lue’s unpretentious self-awareness, and wonderful ability to share her experiences and insights made her podcast the one I really look forward to listen to each week. She has a world class personality that leaves you wanting more, and I wonder if she knows that. If you are a person that suffers from unhealthy relationship patterns (especially people pleasing) I encourage you to give this podcast a listen. I’ve gained so many insights on myself by listening to her.

Natalie’s work is poignant and truly life changing. She helps you take accountability for your life and the way you show up in relationships with yourself and others so that you can reclaim your power and be your best self!

We’re so glad you’re back!

This is literally life-changing. Thank you, Natalie.

I just entered my 30s and have felt like I’ve lived my entire life not truly knowing who I am. Natalie’s podcast has helped me in asking all the tough questions to myself that make me think about who I am. I am newly single and after many “failed” relationships it’s helpful to take a step back and really look at them from a mature perspective in recognizing my part in allowing those relationships to develop longer than they should have. Very appreciative for the self-reflection and improvement this podcast has sparked.

It really is. I don’t know how one person can dispense so much wisdom and have such insight. Again and again, Nat Lu opens my eyes to what’s really going on in my head and why. Thank you!!!

I discovered your podcast many years ago, after a tough breakup, and a period of many transitions. Listening to your weekly podcast kept me sane, and got me through those tough times. Thank you so much, Natalie, for all the wisdom you’ve shared, and your openness and vulnerability.I am sad to see you go, but excited for where your journey takes you next. 💕

I’ve been following your blog and podcast for years now. Thank you for your wisdom and good luck on your new journey! 💖

My favorite podcast ever that has helped me so much. Thanks Nat!

I’ve been listening and reading TBRS for almost 7 years. Consistently insightful content that has saved me a lot of bad decisions and has helped me rethink a lot of negative mindsets in regards to relationships and self-image. Absolutely unique, empowering and empathetic advice. One of my favorite content relationship/self-help content creators of all time!

This podcast changed everything I thought I knew about myself and my relationships. I finally broke my Groundhog Day patterns and regained my self esteem and took back my life. Thank you so much Natalie. ♥️

I’ve been listening to her podcast for the last 2 years and read a couple of her books and can’t wait for her new release!! Her advise in general has allowed me to open up my perspective about life in general. I have shared some of her episodes and books with my cousin but I wish I could share her episodes with my sisters and friends in Mexico they would appreciate her advice. Have you thought of translating your books in Spanish? Thank you 🤗

Nat makes you feel safe, cautious, and of course loved, she covers everything you can imagine if you feel it she got it. I fell in love with this podcast this has made me become a better person and putting MY feelings FIRST. Take care of YOU! ❤️

Nat consistently nails it!

So relatable, so straight forward. I love this woman. Such a strong supportive voice in my life. Thank you for the beautiful insight!!!

What a wonderful podcast that has impacted me tremendously! I’ve only been in 4 adult relationships, none working out for me, and learned that all I can do is own my life- my boundaries, my needs, my world views and values and never betray myself for someone else. I remember a quote that said “do not light yourself on fire just to keep someone warm…” well that is the moral of my love story. At the same time, open my heart and shoot for the moon, but if I miss my shot at long term love the way I see it, I will reach among the stars! Thanks Natalie Lue!

Allow this podcast to change your life. It’s been hitting me like a ton of bricks.

I came upon baggage reclaim ten years ago after a major breakup. It’s not that I didn’t have support in my life; there were caring people around me, but they really didn’t understand the bigger picture (the fact that there are predictable patterns to emotionally unavailable relationships, and they lead to a fairly predictable array of terrible emotions.) The Baggage Reclaim blog turned my life around by making actual sense of my experience, rather than just viewing it as one isolated traumatic event. A major loss brought me to the podcast years later. Yet again, listening was like coloring in the spaces in the ink sketch of my experience. I’ve recommended Baggage Reclaim to many, and no doubt to many more to come.

Everyone needs to hear this podcast. Love the information provided. Been a fan for a number of years and glad I found this podcast.

I found Natalie’s blow forever ago and my mind was blown by all of the amazing insights. Podcast is great as well.

You’re a blessing and I like your voice

I really appreciate the advice and insights gained from this show. I consume a lot of media that falls in the self-help and psychology genres and find Nat’s podcast ties together thoughts in ways I’ve not experienced before. I’ve also recommended the show to others who have had similar positive sentiments.

Natalie Lue has been a voice of wisdom and mindfulness in my life since 2010. She does an amazing job of explaining the things we feel about ourselves and how those feelings translate into actions/affect our behavior and attitudes in every environment. I’ve recommended her podcast more than any other one out there. It’s like having a sister who’s been there, done that and wants you to make better decisions for yourself. Absolute godsend.

Been listening for 2 years and her advice has changed my life.

I have been listening to baggage reclaim since 2019 and it Natalie’s perspective has changed my life for the better . Her words and insight aren’t just broad and narrow minded messages that I was used to hearing in the self care arena. She has amazing insight that attempts to hit all angles, angles that I had never considered. She brings you back to the core and helps you know and understand your patterns . 10/10 You will become more of true yourself if you listen with an open heart and mind to Nat lue !

Dear Nat : few shows can relate to the many ways being a whole person on many intersections of experience makes a simple life hard. Thank you for being a free and consistent source of healing process during years I was recovering from a brain injury and being direct with my family about the harmful ways I was raised as a mixed race & queer child. Amazing work. Thanks for blessing this world with your graceful and informed analyses (((o(*ﾟ▽ﾟ*)o)))♡.

Found answers to so many questions that improved my life immediately!!! Highly recommend!!!

I listened by accident and I feel in love! So helpful and very insightful!

This podcast was casually recommended to me on a message board and so grateful for that. The topics are much needed and super relatable. I also very much appreciate how warm & direct Natalie is in her hosting style. I definitely recommend to anyone who is seeking to better understand others and themselves.

Amazing topics, content, structure. Love this podcast so much ♥️

I don’t consume a lot of self-help, but over the decades I’ve read a fair number of the most popular and classic sources. The Baggage Reclaim podcast and blog have helped me far more than anything else in the field I’ve ever found. I was looking for insight on dealing with a manipulative person when I first encountered Natalie’s blog. I had literally Googled my issue and one of Natalie’s blog posts was the second thing that came up. Her post enlightened me that my problem was boundaries — which I hadn’t realized— and told me exactly what to do about it. She was spot-on! Problem solved! I was absolutely stunned, and went on to read more and listen to the podcasts, first just about boundaries and then about relationships.It’s been life-changing. Thank you, Natalie, for sharing your hard-won wisdom with such clarity and generosity. These are things many of us are sadly not taught, which leads to needless confusion and pain. I only wish I had found this material earlier.

The Baggage Reclaim Sessions is very insightful. I love that each episode is understanding some kind of love, whether that’s for partners, family, or self love. It’s like an hour of therapy each time I listen to her even if it doesn’t totally relate to me. Keep them coming!

This podcast is not for the faint of heart — Natalie Lue gives the tough love advice you need to hear and keep in your arsenal of self-help tools. I love how honest and open she is about her own experiences and anxieties. I trust her insight not only because I agree with her (and I do most often agree with her) but because she has “done the work” and is willing to be vulnerable and admit that it’s not always easy. I highly recommended her blog for years and now recommend the podcast. Thank you, Ms. Lue!

I found Natalie‘s Baggage Reclaim blog several years ago when I was going through a divorce. Reading about her personal story and considering her pointed and no nonsense advice was a game changer for me and helped me crawl out of a deep depression and boost my crumbling self confidence. Her podcast adds the bonus of listening to her voice dole out her wise words. I like to imagine I’m sitting down with my best friend, talking about relationships over a cup of tea. Every single episode has given me something important to consider about romantic relationships, work ethics, family issues, and friendship. Keep them coming, Natalie! ❤️

Natalie explains emotions and behavior in clear, easy-to-understand language. Her work has helped me grow more secure and get more intentional about how I want to live my life.

Incredible podcast - she asks such thought provoking questions, gives many examples and makes thoughtful observations. I have been so impressed I recommended this podcast to 9 friends. It’s relevant for everyone in so many stages of life!! Well done

This woman has a keen intuitive view into human nature. Her books are phenomenal as well💖I look forward to her every week.

Nat Lue rocks. Her keen insight, relatable anecdotes, and soothing voice makes every episode insightful and revelatory. It seems that the topics she chooses often align with something I’m thinking about or experiencing. Listening to her sage advice over the past 3 years has helped me learn so much about myself, my relationship patterns and how to align my life with my values. I can’t wait to continue growing with Nat, who feels like my older, wise sister. I can’t recommend her enough!!

This podcast got me through some really tough times in navigating the dating world. Highly recommend her episodes on the Stages of Relationships to give clarity-when dating in these times is anything but.

Natalie never ceases to amaze me. I look forward to every single episode. Her topics and explanations are highly enlightening that I catch myself applying some self-reflection from my current and past experiences.

Nat, your blog has opened my eyes in ways I never thought possible. The podcast is the same high quality content you’re known for. The topics are so relevant and discussed so thoroughly - I feel like I should paying for your expertise! Thank you for speaking to the hearts of so many people.

Natalie is one of the best podcasters. She digs deep into relationships motivation life etc. I listen to her religiously and I always find learning more about myself and others every podcast. Natalie you are amazing at what you do!!

As someone else said, “She just knows.” Anybody looking for some acknowledgement and normalization on a bad break-up will find that here, listening to Nat Lue. As one continues to listen, though, she brings up major thinking moments to address internal scripts or perceptions that either play hand-in-hand or alongside why one chose to partner up with that bad break-up in the first place. Great podcast and I recommend hands-down. Make sure you have pen & paper when your “you who” moments pop up to ponder later🤔.

I listen to Nat all the time, but especially when I’m having a hard understanding why I’m feeling conflicted about a situation or a relationship. She offers up the words that you can’t always access when you’re in the middle of your own stuff.

You have been on my radar since I somehow first found you so many years ago! Probably 2013-14? I bought your books, started reading the blog, and you taught me so much. Well, I went back to that crazy relationship several more times before finally ending it. I just listened to Ep. 169 and it was my life! Still dealing with fallout. You came back in podcast form at just the right time. Thank you! 🖤

If I could recommend only one podcast to help change your relationship to yourself and others for the best, it would be Baggage Reclaim. I got out of an ambiguous relationship at the beginning of this year with an emotionally unavailable person and I realized I WAS ALSO EMOTIONALLY UNAVAILABLE. Go figure. I did a Google and stumbled upon Natalie Lue’s website and podcast and got the ball rolling on a truly transformative year. With Natalie’s help, I’ve learned so much about myself and have been able to attach words to feelings and situations that we lee once indescribable. Not gonna lie, it was hard to listen at the beginning because I knew I’d learn something new and uncomfortable about myself in each episode (Natalie pulls no punches), but after a few months of dedicating myself to pressing play and doing other self-work simultaneously, it became easier. Baggage Reclaim has changed my life. Thank you for your work, Natalie!

Whether I’m arguing with my partner, struggling with my anxiety, having difficulty balancing feeling guilt over bad friends and wanting to “break up” with BAD friends, Nat seems to help me navigate my sails through tumultuous times. I love the insight she taps into in a non-judgmental, and in extremely empathetic ways. Not to mention that I love her voice and accent (an accent to me since I’m from Los Angeles and say “like” every other word). Whether you are having trouble “people pleasing” and putting other’s wants over your basic needs and basic boundaries, whether you can’t seem to understand why that friend of yours can’t seem to just step up and be a real grounded supportive person, or whether you’re just looking for a way into understanding some of the random guilt, random fear, random social anxieties that pop up once in a while, The Baggage Reclaim Sessions with Natalie Lue is amazing and for You.

I have learned so much from this podcast. Truely a game changer and has allowed me to reflect on my behavior and past relationships honestly and face some of my issues so that I can have more fulfilling relationships. Please keep doing this podcast!

Please never stop producing amazing content!!!

I have been listening to Nat’s podcast for quite some time now, and am so impressed with her no-nonsense way of explaining why we may have fallen into unfulfilling relationships in the past and how to make better choices in the future. She cuts out all the crap flying around these days in order to help us understand our relationship patterns, how to spot dodgy behavior in emotionally unavailable partners, and ultimately, how to love ourselves enough to stand up for what we truly want in life. Nat simply rocks!
