Pulling Back the Curtain

A lot of you guys asked how I handle my diet and workouts when I travel, so I recorded a quick podcast talking about what I did well on these trips, and what I totally bombed at. Things we go over: -What kind of quick grab and go snacks you can pack in your suitcase -Which is more important on vacation: follow your diet or getting your workout in? -How to order at a restaurant while staying be mindful of calories (and my secret little trick) - Lastly, how to modify your workouts with a hotel gym

This is a question I get asked so often, I wanted to talk about a topic that can often be a sensitive one. I brought in one of my best friends Rikki, because like me she also is coparenting her two kids with her ex husband. We go over: -How the first year is always the roughest, but that it can get better -What kinds of questions to ask your attorney -Making it about the kids first, and put aside your feelings -Jealousy -The phrase “out of your control, bro” -How to set aside control issues

Today I brought on my two friends, Bryan and Stephanie Dulaney. When Bryan was in college he survived a near death experience that left him in a coma that doctors say he should never have woken up from. Bryan then turns this story into such an inspiring one!  We also cover: - Stephanie's pregnancy  - How an instagram message ended up with Stephanie spontaneously flying to Hawaii to meet Bryan for the first time - Tools for communicating if you and your partner are running a business togethe

I’ve never cried during a podcast….until this one. I hope you will take the time to listen to it, the stories that my friends Wallace and Ashlan Nelson touched me deeply. Ashlan blew me away with her raw stories about single motherhood and Wallace talks about their new program Vitavore and growing up with a powerhouse mom. Ashlan and Wallace have EIGHT kids, and we talked about how they balance work and family life and bringing blended families together. This is a packed podcast!

This is the second part of a two-part podcast with the Princes! At age 13, Makayla (and her 11 year old sister) took the framework their mom taught them about starting businesses, and made $100k in 9 months selling scarves! In this podcast: -How to instill financial responsibility in kids -Watching her mom build businesses and raise babies -What it's like as a teen entrepreneur and her friends response -Her decision to not go to college after high school and to work on her businesses instead

Part one: Alison has an INCREDIBLY cool story, and I brought her on the podcast to share it. She graduated from college and had her teaching degree, and was shocked when she got her first teaching job and wasn’t making enough to even afford groceries - her salary qualified her for food stamps. With a new baby on the way, she knew she had to make some changes so, she began her entrepreneurial journey. The stories she shares of her failures and successes along the way gave me chills!

This was such a special podcast I recorded with my dad and sister.  It might be my #1 favorite podcast so far. Fair warning….you might want tissues! My little sister, Erica, was diagnosed with a rare form of Leukemia when she was just 3 years old. In this podcast, we brought my dad in to retell the story of what our family went through during this time (I was just 8 years old so don’t remember a lot of the details). I hope that sharing this story can bring us all closer together.

I recorded SUCH a fun podcast with my friend @myrongolden and we just released it today!  Myron is arguably one of the best salesmen in the world and he has such a cool story…. In fact he talks a lot about his background in his book “Trash Man to Cash Man”, and Myron is somebody who has personally helped me so much with my own money mindset, not feeling guilty for charging people for your services, and how to provide as much value to your customers as possible.

On social media, my Instagram story showed me making homemade blueberry waffles for the kids. If I had left it at that, no one would have known about my "motherhood sucks" day. But, I decided to record a podcast about what happened. In this podcast, I talk about when I yelled at my kids. I talk about the importance of self-care and how to avoid this with my kids next time. It is so important to share these stories with our motherhood community. We are not alone! Hope you like it!

Jeff is a master at helping people launch their products (he was hugely instrumental in our pregnancy training guide launch last year), and I thought we were going to talk business, but I was pleasantly surprised when we really pulled back the curtain and our conversation took a different direction. He shared hardships he went through to get to where he is at now, including developing a severe stutter and his dad getting sent to prison for embezzlement.

A few years ago I went through one of the most painful and emotional experiences of my life. I had an ectopic pregnancy and lost a baby that I wanted so badly. Today, I talk about my experience, tell the entire story of what happened, the ambulance ride, the emergency surgery they had to perform, how I lost a fallopian tube, and the emotional roller coaster that I experienced afterwards.

In this podcast, I fill you in on the new projects I’m working on right now (like our mountain retreat!), my exact step-by-step process of how I pull the ideas out of my head and get them on paper to create an actual product. It’s the exact same process I go through when I’m feeling stuck with my weight loss and fitness goals. Action creates momentum. Remind yourself of this over and over. Write it on a sticky note and tape it to the wall if you need to. Imperfect action is better than no action

Nicholas Bayerle is a man who understands what it means to struggle. He understands how to take the pain of your past and use that pain to create a life you want. Nicholas (and his wife Amanda) are friends of mine and he has an amazing story of struggle and success that will bring you to tears and inspire you to begin believing in yourself and how to begin taking action when you are doubting yourself. We talk about motivating yourself, taking action, how to believe in yourself and much more!

People DM me and say, “Natalie...I love all your outdoors pictures, and I want to do something like that but I’m afraid to go alone!” So, I recorded a podcast talking about everything I know about backpacking and how I overcame my fear too. I go over: -How I had never backpacked before but hiked 150 miles on the Appalachian trail alone -How to figure out where to go and what to buy -Three items I never leave without -Carrying a gun -Spending time alone in nature keeps me in check

Narcissism is a term I had NEVER heard of until this past year. I sat down with two of my closest girlfriends Rikki and Mandy as we continue our chat on Narcissism. Things we go over in part two: -What you need to do to get over the feeling of being alone after removing a narcissist from your life and the inner work it takes to move on -How you can help a friend who is in a narcissistic relationship -How to go no-contact (and if you can't, how to deal)
