The Suffering Podcast
Adversity is the common thread throughout the lives of all living human beings. This human condition can either make us or break us. Nothing great comes easy and it's the overcoming of adversity that makes us who we are. Living by the ethos Suffering is THE way to sustainable success and the path to greatness. Always remember Mike Failace.

Episode 254: The Suffering of Healing with Natanya Wachtel
Natanya Wachtel knows what it’s like to lose everything—more than once. She’s lived through physical trauma, medical crises, paralysis, and the kind of pain most people don’t talk about out loud. She’s had to relearn how to live inside a body that stopped working—and fight to reclaim parts of herself that the world was all too willing to discard.
But she didn’t stop at survival.
Natanya has turned that pain into purpose, creating healing frameworks and trauma-informed tools that meet people where they are—especially those who’ve been overlooked, underestimated, or left behind. Through her platform, The NatanyaExperience, she works with first responders, veterans, incarcerated individuals, and survivors of deep personal loss to help them rebuild not just their identity, but their sense of worth.
She’s not a guru. She’s not a life coach. And she doesn’t show up with a script. She shows up because she’s been there.
Alongside her lived experience, Natanya brings decades of work in behavioral science and integrative wellness, volunteering her time in nonprofits focused on suicide prevention, trauma recovery, and mental health access for vulnerable communities. She collaborates with pioneers in brain science and medical innovation to advance non-invasive technologies—from vagus nerve stimulation to vibrational healing and neuroplasticity-based interventions—because she believes that true healing requires both science and soul.
Her mission is simple: to help people remember they’re not broken—they’re becoming.
For the audience of The Suffering Podcast, Natanya offers no platitudes. Just real conversation, hard-earned wisdom, and an unshakable belief that the things that tried to destroy us can become the very things that set us free.
