Natalie gets raw about her desire to cope with motherhood, deal with medical trauma, and how she currently navigates becoming a public figure. The women delve into some of the nuances of Natalie and Shane’s marriage, along with their WHY for choosing to sleep in separate bedrooms. Natalie shares the story of Hello Meridian and the reason she was hesitant to become an ‘influencer.’ And of course, sex and the enneagram pop up, because if you’re talking to Natalie, those topics tend to emerge. This episode can also be found on the “Sharing Her Journey” podcast—this release is their 100th Anniversary episode!

  <itunes:episodeType>full</itunes:episodeType>
  <itunes:author>Shane Plummer</itunes:author>
  <itunes:subtitle>It’s the 10 year anniversary of Boise‘s biggest music fest! Treefort Music Fest is a killer city-wide showcase of what makes Idaho and Boise amazing: music, food, drink, art, stories, kids events, and even yoga! It's such a local staple that the city of Boise honored it with the title of "Cultural Ambassador" in 2015.

We’re talking with Treefort Music Fest PR director Marissa Lovell about exciting happenings at the festival this year. From the most anticipated bands, to new ways to volunteer and some of the big changes in store. And Natalie’s fav Treefort moment from 2021. (It may include a streaking artist.)

Also - The Boise Bubble Podcast is recording at Treefort LIVE this year! 

If you are still wondering a little bit about what Treefort is all about, we recommend you first listen to Episode 16 “How to Treefort” for all the basics. It’s a summary of how Treefort came to be one of Boise‘s most epic offerings, and how to go about enjoying it. Guests include Marissa Lovell and Treefort Co-founder Megan Stoll.</itunes:subtitle>

But many of us are confused about what they actually do, and are unaware of the huge impact that they make on our community. Did you know that they are the fourth highest employer in the state?!

In this episode we sit down with Brig. Gen. Timothy J. Donnellan - the Commander of the Idaho Air National Guard and Assistant Adjutant General, Air, Gowen Field in Boise.

Shane and guest host Taylor Walker (who served as Idaho National Guard PR and photojournalist) talk with the General about what exactly that Idaho National Guard offers to our community. We’re guessing you might just be a little surprised. </itunes:subtitle>

  <itunes:subtitle>On this episode we talk WINTER in Idaho with Sophia Doumani of the TV series “Hidden Gems in The Gem State”. A lot of people think of skiing when it comes to Idaho in the winter, but there are so many more ways to enjoy the season. From ice castles to sand dunes, elk sleigh rides to dog mushing, eastern Idaho to Caldwell. Idaho offers a lot of winter adventures (and misadventures) and we discuss some of the best! We find out how Shane winter camps (apparently Natalie is not a fan), what it’s like to start a TV show from scratch, how Sophia had never seen a “wild” Christmas tree before moving to Idaho, and we ask the question on everyone’s mind: what exactly is the “JUMP! Building” in Downtown Boise? (Spoiler- we really don’t know) A great listen to start the winter season.</itunes:subtitle>

  <itunes:author>Shane Plummer</itunes:author>
  <itunes:subtitle>We have a lot of pretty interesting couples in the Treasure Valley, and we thought it was about time we get to know some of them. Basically a double date… in the studio!

This episode we meet with Corbin and Sam Maxey! 

Corbin is an exotic animal expert and local celebrity. You may recognize him from the Tonight Show, the Today show, Martha Stewart and many more national appearances. He has huge YouTube and Tiktok presences, keeping people entertained with raising his animals. 

Sam Maxey is known throughout the Valley as the Genius behind “Snake River Wine Tours” - recently named USA Today Top Ten Wine Tour. Shane and I are huge fans. As is everyone that goes on one! 

We dig into this couple’s dynamic and ask some of our own burning questions. For example, what it’s like to marry a man who raises exotic animals for a living? How is constantly driving drunk people around the Treasure Valley? And what really is inside the Barbacoa men’s bathroom?
