Focus on Progress, Not Perfection:

Systems Create Freedom:

Courage Starts with Belonging:

• To be brave for others, you first need to belong to yourself. Embrace who you are, imperfections and all, and let that courage inspire those around you.

This episode reminds us that even in the hardest moments, we can find strength, courage, and purpose. Natalie’s story is a powerful example of how simplifying our lives can lead to transformation. Dive in and be inspired to take small steps toward big change!
