From Burnout to Breakthrough: Emmy-Winner Natalie Tysdal on Reclaiming Health, Happiness & Purpose

1 hour

In this episode of Flaunt! Find Your Sparkle After Infidelity or Betrayal, Lora Cheadle interviews Emmy award-winning journalist and podcast host Natalie Tysdal about navigating life’s biggest challenges, including career burnout, betrayal, and personal transformation. Natalie shares her journey of leaving a toxic career in television news to pursue meaningful work that aligns with her values. She discusses the importance of health—physical, emotional, and relational—and how women can prioritize their well-being while balancing life’s demands. The conversation touches on the power of stillness, habits, and surrounding yourself with supportive, trustworthy people.

Top 3 Takeaways:

The Three-Question Test for Change

If you’re questioning whether to stay in a job, relationship, or situation, ask yourself:

Am I happy? (Do I feel joy and fulfillment?)

Am I proud of what I’m doing? (Does it align with my values?)

Am I challenged in a healthy way? (Is it helping me grow?)

If the answer to any of these is “no,” it may be time for a change.

Reframe Your Perspective with “I Get To” Instead of “I Have To”

Shifting from “I have to exercise” to “I get to move my body” transforms obligations into privileges. This mindset shift fosters gratitude, joy, and motivation for self-care and personal growth.

Create Stillness & Build Healthy Habits Through Habit Stacking

Finding moments of stillness is essential for clarity and well-being, but it’s challenging in a busy life. Use habit stacking to build new positive habits by pairing them with existing ones (e.g., stretch while waiting for coffee to brew, meditate while brushing your teeth). Small, consistent changes lead to transformation over time.
