Episode 252: After numerous scheduling attempts, Natalie is over the moon to finally be sitting down with one of her inspirations in the founder space, Amanda Goetz, the founder of House of Wise CBD, to explore the complexities of womanhood and entrepreneurship. Amanda opens up about her humble upbringing in small town Illinois and her journey to becoming a first-generation college graduate and trailblazing business owner. They discuss the boxes women are put in by society, Amanda’s personal evolution through her "spin cycles" of life, the importance of taking intentional breaks to realign with your true self, and why finding what energizes you is a major key to success. Amanda also shares the struggles of divorce, the life lessons she's learned along the way, how she balances motherhood with her career, and so much more! This episode is jam-packed with wisdom for women in every phase of life. Enjoy!
