Learning How to Pivot with Natalie Kraus

In life, pivoting is not having a plan B; it is part of the journey. In this episode, we have Natalie Krus joining me on the show. Natalie had to pivot a million times throughout her career, both as an athlete and afterward.

Natalie suffered a couple of injuries during her athletic times, but that didn't stop her from learning other skills and getting good at them. Natalie is a multi-passionate entrepreneur. She's the Here for More podcast host, certified as a plant-based and holistic nutritionist, yoga instructor, and surfing yoga wellness retreat host.

Natalie will be sharing her athletic journey and how she pivoted after suffering injuries. She will also tell us about her life after sports.

Listen in to this amazing conversation.
