Episode 123: Blooming a Storytelling Community - with Natalee Bloom
Ryan Hall welcomes Natalee Bloom in this episode of Soul-R Powered, where she shares her inspiring career transition to becoming a writer. The discussion spans Ireland's rich storytelling culture and the solitary nature of writing. Natalee opens up about the influences shaping her work and the healing power of fiction, tackling the fear of publishing personal stories. The conversation highlights the transformative role of writing and strategies to handle misunderstandings as an author. Natalee delves into the art of ghostwriting and offers practical tips for overcoming overthinking. The episode concludes with valuable advice for aspiring authors and ways to connect with Natalee online.
About Natalee:
With a degree from NYU’s Tisch School of the Arts (majoring in Acting and Directing, with a minor in Shakespeare) and an MFA in Literature from Trinity College Dublin, Natalee has spent her life honing the art of crafting unforgettable narratives.
She began her career on the stage, performing with the Indiana Shakespeare Company at just 19 and touring as a dancer, singer, and actor across the country. These days, Natalee’s stage is behind the scenes, helping high-profile clients (think: a New York Times Best-Selling Author) write non-fiction books that are as impactful as they are personal.
Natalee believes stories have the power to connect us, inspire us, and—most importantly—live far beyond us. You’ve got the experiences and expertise; she’s the who to your how, weaving your brilliance into a book that leaves a lasting legacy.
When she’s not ghostwriting, Natalee occasionally moonlights as a developmental editor and coach for stuck authors. And when she’s not working? You’ll find her running in Central Park, tango dancing, or crying laughing with her girlfriends. Add in a hot café au lait, a good book, and a playlist that keeps me dancing, and you’ve got her perfect day.
Let’s be honest—Natalee makes storytelling look fun, effortless, and just a little magical.
