I Know How You Feel
Ever had a moment where you thought- Does anyone else feel this way?
Welcome to I Know How You Feel, a podcast for common experiences, not so commonly shared. This is a platform for growth, connection and mindful conversation. We dive into messy, beautiful, painful and sometimes ridiculous realities of being human- through honest conversation, humor, sitting with hard questions and sharing stories to remind you that you are not alone. Everyone has a unique journey they are on, and we are here to honor that. We may not know exactly how you feel, but we sure can empathize.
Thanks for joining the conversation. We are so glad you are here.

I Know How You Feel: I Grew Up In the Navajo Nation
Val grew up in the heart of the Navajo Nation—where childhood meant long, early rides to school, deep family roots, and the quiet heartbreak of not being fully immersed in her own language. In this episode, she shares the layered story of leaving home, facing ignorance and racism, and the emotional work of keeping her culture alive for her children. From misconceptions about Native identity to the beauty and burden of preserving tradition, this conversation is a powerful reflection on resilience, belonging, and what it means to carry your heritage forward in a world that often misunderstands it.
