My Life Be Like

I love music. I love witnessing women doing what they love, regardless of their sex. Men dominate the music industry. Regardless of which part of the music industry being considered, the percentage of women in music is low, anywhere from 20 percent down to 5 percent in music production. I am convinced that there are effective ways to see more women in the industry. My opinion on how to do this might surprise you. Have a listen and see what you think. Thanks for being here. Bless, Natalie

Maybe you are very connected to nature. Maybe you spend a lot of times in the outdoors. Maybe you are a city slicker always surrounded by cars, people and buildings (like myself). I actually take joy in being a city girl, but I don't forget the feeling I get on my morning runs, or when I get to take in fall colours against a blue sky background. The feeling is not like anything I get when I am in my city life. I need that feeling. I need nature. We all need nature. This is how I figured it out...
Enjoy! (better if you're listening to this in nature ;)).
Cheers,

What is your opinion on graffiti? My guess is, considering where society stands, you don't see it as all too harmful or bad. But there was a time when it was frowned upon. What changed? We are often scared to change our minds and our beliefs because it implies questioning what we've believed to be true up until now. The thing is that when we hold so strongly to our values, we sometimes create judgemental thoughts in our head. This sometimes plays out on our treatment and behaviour towards others, usually strangers. Consider: road rage. Have a listen to my thoughts on context and how it can rid us of our judgement.

Early Mornings. Running. Staying Motivated. These are things that you either dread or enjoy and embrace. Either way, you can relate to the idea that finding motivation is tough because it's usually involving something unpleasant and undesirable. It involves disrupting peace and calmness in your life. It usually means you have to experience pain and/ or suffering to some extent. And well, that kinda blows. Regardless, here is a little story on how I found my initial motivation to wake up early and go for a run. Essentially it came down to feeling a sense of desperation and also creating an environment that made it easy to be "successful" in. Creating "good" habits and breaking "bad" ones is no easy feat, but there are some very simple principles and I have discussed a few here. Have a listen, let me know what you think.

Thanks for tuning in.
Happy Habit Making & Breaking!

We all know it. At one point in our life, we've hated that alarm clock. Okay, probably many more times than one. But it's a reality of life. Deal with, right? I am here to share a few thoughts on why it is so hard to wake up in the morning and get out of bed. I also have a few tips on what you can do to make yourself more effective at doing so, and hate it less. It's not really that you will hate it less, it is just that you will shift from suffering to a little bit of pain. Enjoy this one, really! It has helped me immensely in my morning wake up routine.

Man, why does everything great require so much damn patience. It's true. Tell me a time when you didn't have to wait for something great, and it turned out for the better? Okay, maybe when your ran out to buy a tub of ice cream, a whole pizza, sodas and some cookies. But let me guess, you felt like crap afterwards??? That's it. Good things take patience. The problem is that we barely know what this means anymore. Well, I am here to break down what patience is, feels like and how we can incorporate it more into our life.

Hey Gang,
We've all been going through a lot with this coronavirus pandemic/ COVID-19 situation. It's taught us a lot about, well, a lot! We have learned all about social distancing, quarantines, self-isolation, being boring, waiting in lines, dealing with worldwide emergency situations and toilet paper shortages. While we have been learning this the hard way, there are some cultures and countries who already knew what this felt like, pre-COVID-19. I lived in one of them, Cuba, for almost 5 years. Here is why I think they are killing it at the coping-game!

Hey there, Naty G here with another valuable life lesson from an "unconventional classroom." Today we go to the kitchen while doing a chore that some of us despise and some of us don't actually mind. Regardless, we have all probably done it once and have found it to be quite time-consuming. That's what is so interesting: most things that lead to greatness do take time! Listen in to hear the other life lessons that I have learned from doing my dishes by hand (you might just be convinced)! Enjoy, share and subscribe if you are curious about what other crazy and wild "Unconventional Classrooms" I reveal along the way.

Well, we don't know exactly where we sit/ stand/ isolate right now. We are sort of making progress, but not because the little COVID-19 virus-things are much less prominent in our lives, simply because we are trying, as a society, to make progress. It's strange because it's not really safer, but we're acting like it is. Well, aside from all of that, I think one or two of us have spent the last few weeks & months pacing our houses asking ourselves things like, "What is my purpose in life? Where do I go from here? What do I need to do to truly be happy?" Big life questions like that, no? Well here are my 7 biggies to ask yourself, and don't worry, it's not too late to do so, you still have years to figure it all out ;).
Happy Quarantine-ing!
