Brodette Nation

Brodettes and Honorary Brodettes, we made it! It’s the final interview of season 1! This week Natassia talks to Tatiana Zappardino, a comedian and actress who found her way to the production scene by ways of the U.S. Marine Corps. Tatiana is a former public affairs officer who now runs her own all-lady comedy group in Atlanta called Fine China Comedy. She talks about how being a military officer set her up for success in the acting world, and advises that to be the best, you have to stand out, and take those bold chances, make those bold choices. Tatiana says if something does not fulfill your dreams, you have to move on. If it is not helping your goals, then move on. You can’t wait around hoping, you have to do it yourself, create your own opportunities. Listen in to hear more about her journey! Oh and SPOILER ALERT!! She is on a TV show called Superstition on the SYFY channel, so check it out! Don’t forget to rate, review and subscribe to the Brodette Nation Podcast.

This week Natassia interviews Melissa Boatwright, another Brodette Vet, a civilian badass, and a woman who doesn't let the word no, stop her from doing what she thinks is right. Melissa and Natassia waste no time diving into topics like female leadership, dealing with emotions, the art of not being busy, working hard to NOT hustle for your worthiness, and the start of Melissa's non-profit organization called Battle Tested Veterans. An organization that fights veteran stereotypes and is working to fight veteran discrimination in the work force. If you're not ready for a whole lot of badass savagery coming your way, don't listen.

This week, Natassia interviews Alison Hestermann - Air Force #brodettevet turned CrossFit box owner from Brookings, South Dakota. Alison talks about life happening in seasons as she breaks down her transition from being an aerospace physiologist to a mom to a CrossFit gym owner to Roden and Fields consultant and how she priorities her goals to make it all happen. Natassia and Alison talk about the question most military women get, “How do you do it?” Alison breaks down her passion to serve others and empower them and how this drives her in life. Bottom line, you have to do things to make you a better person, make you feel good about yourself. If you are not 100 percent, you can’t be the best version of yourself for others. If it’s not a priority, then it is not a big deal.
Warning: Natassia and Alison bonded over CrossFit and having babies, so they talk a lot about boobs, milk, and weights.

This week, Natassia talks with Tara Duncan, a 29 year-old mother of one who started chasing her powerlifting goals two months after giving birth. Tara talks about what makes her a brodette and how she uses powerlifting and strongman training to conquer her depression. She discusses gaining and losing and gaining weight and how if she wasn’t going to be small, she was going to be strong. Tara is a hard worker and once she decides to do something, she is going to do it, no matter the obstacles along the way. The journey to achieving her goals might not be perfect, but Tara recognizes that and discusses with Natassia that just because you aren’t where you want to be today, doesn’t mean you have to hate yourself along the way. It is all part of the journey. You have to get the work in and maximize your time for maximum gains, in and out of the gym. After the podcast, check out Tara’s Instagram @liftlikemommy.
