Pulling Back the Curtain

Today I brought on my two friends, Bryan and Stephanie Dulaney. We talk about their business, the crazy story about how they met and so much more!

When Bryan was in college he survived a near death experience that left him in a coma that doctors say he should never have woken up from. Bryan then turns this story into such an inspiring one by listening to the small promptings that came after that to make some big changes in his life. 

I loved hearing Bryan talk about how he took something so devastating and turned it into what he has now.

In this podcast we also cover:

- Stephanie's pregnancy 

- How to listen to "the signs" the universe is giving you to help you fulfill your total potential 

- How Stephanie sent Bryan an instagram message that ended up with her spontaneously flying to Hawaii to meet Bryan for the first time

- Tools for communicating if you and your partner are running a business together

... and so much more! 

Hope you love it!

I’ve never cried during a podcast….until this one.  I hope you will take the time to listen to it, the stories that my friends Wallace and Ashlan Nelson touched me deeply.  Ashlan and Wallace are two of my favorite humans on this planet.  And in this podcast, we talked about SO many things!

Wallace shared his stories of growing up with a powerhouse mother who was a strong business woman, and how she pioneered the way in a male-dominated market as a naturopathic doctor and the mark that left on him.  Ashlan and Wallace talk about their new program called Vitavore that is exploding in popularity that teaches people how to eat intuitively while getting amazing fat loss results!

THEN...Ashlan completely blew me away (and made me cry) when she opened up and talked about how she felt completely broken after she went through her divorce.  She told me how she was a single mom working as a hair stylist, and burning the candle at both ends while she tried to make money, raise babies, and take care of herself at the same time.  She dove deep on self worth, and the specific steps she followed as she began to believe in herself again.Ashlan and Wallace have EIGHT kids, and we talked about how they balance work and family life and bringing blended families together.

This was a packed podcast that, I promise you, will leave you loving these two as much as I do.If you want to learn more about these two amazing humans you can at their sites:www.vitavore.com

I hope you had a chance to listen to Part 1 of this awesome podcast with Alison and Makayla Prince!  This mom/daughter duo have such an amazing story and I am SO grateful they agreed to be on my podcast. In part 1, we share Alison’s journey of how she went from qualifying to food stamps to building her own multi-million dollar businesses.

But the story doesn’t end there….in Part 2 I spend a lot of time with her daughter Makayla and we share her story.  And boy is it a cool story!At age 13, Makayla (and her 11 year old sister) took the framework their mom taught them about starting businesses, and made $100k in 9 months selling scarves!In this podcast we dig deep into:-The specific things Alison and her husband did to instill financial responsibility in their kids -What it was like for Makayla watching her mom build businesses and raise babies as she was growing up

-What is was like for her as a teenager entrepreneur and how her friends responded to her being a business owner at a young age

-Her plans after high school, and her decision to not go to college and to work on her businesses instead

These two are great friends of mine, and they’ve inspired me to change a lot of the things I’m doing with my own kids when it comes to money and finances.  I hope you love it and make sure to follow @alisonjprince and @makaylaprince - they are genuinely good people and such rockstars.XoNatalie

I am so excited to introduce you guys to my friend Alison Prince and her daughter Makayla Prince.  Alison is one of my closest friends and I love our friendship because we have the kind of relationship where I can call or text her when I’m struggling with my business AND I can call or text her when things are going great and we cheer each other on and support one another without jealousy or competition.  #strongwomensupportingstrongwomen 

Alison has an INCREDIBLY cool story, and I brought her on the podcast to share it. She graduated from college and had her teaching degree, and was shocked when she got her first teaching job and wasn’t making enough to even afford groceries - her salary qualified her for food stamps.

With a new baby on the way, she knew she had to make some changes and that’s when she began her entrepreneurial journey.The stories she shares of her failures and successes along the way gave me chills!  Alison started her first business by selling scraps she found around her house!We actually ended up breaking this one into two parts because it got long, but in this first part we start sharing the story of how she taught her four kids money principles at a young age (including cutting them off financially at twelve years old)!  Her daughter Makayla is on the podcast too, talking about what it was like growing up watching her mom start various businesses. And, in fact, Makayla and her sister started their own business at just 11 and 13 years old and make 100k in 9 months selling….scarves!I hope you love this podcast as much as I loved recording it. Alison and Makayla are two women who I love and look up to, and have pure hearts of gold.So much love,

This was such a special podcast I recorded with my dad and sister.  It might be my #1 favorite podcast so far. Fair warning….you might want tissues!

My little sister, Erica, was diagnosed with a rare form of Leukemia when she was just 3 years old. In this podcast, we brought my dad in to retell the story of what our family went through during this time (I was just 8 years old so don’t remember a lot of the details).

They both went into detail on:

-What it was like for him emotionally to find out his first-born child had been diagnosed with cancer.

-The treatment the hospital in the United States had her do.  

-A spiritual experience, high fever, and dream that Erica had that he believes contributed to her remission.

-Explanation of why they chose to bring Erica to Mexico for treatment and what forms of treatment they performed in Mexico.

-What it was physically like for Erica to go through this experience and how that has impacted her physical and mental health for the rest of her life.

We all started crying at various points while we recorded this podcast.  I know so many of us have been impacted by cancer, and I hope that sharing this story can bring us all closer together.

So much love,

Natalie

I recorded SUCH a fun podcast with my friend @myrongolden and we just released it today!  Myron is arguably one of the best salesmen in the world and he has such a cool story…. In fact he talks a lot about his background in his book “Trash Man to Cash Man”, and Myron is somebody who has personally helped me so much with my own money mindset, not feeling guilty for charging people for your services, and how to provide as much value to your customers as possible.In today’s podcast, we talk about a lot of fun topics!-The fun story of how he romanced his wife with poetry and how they met

-How he got started in sales…..and how he tried selling insurance for 18 months before he ever made a dime

-Why you should never feel guilty for charging what you are worth-How to provide the most value possible inside the products you sell-How to teach your kids to understand the value of money And so much more.  I laughed in this podcast so many times I can’t even count!  I hope you love listening as much as I loved recording it.So much love,Natalie

In this podcast, I talk about the other day when I yelled at my kids. I talk about the importance of self-care, how to help my kids next time.

It was a hard morning. The house was a mess, they turned on the TV right when they woke up, they wouldn't clean up after themselves, and they both had meltdowns. After that, I had a meltdown of my own.

On social media, my first Instagram story showed me making homemade blueberry waffles for them. If I had left it at that, no one would have known about my "motherhood sucks" day. But, I decided to record a story about what happened.

What I discovered was that these honest moments are so important for the motherhood community so we all know we aren't alone when motherhood sucks. It's also a reminder that we often don't see the bad moments on social media.

Hope you like it!

This was SUCH a fun podcast to record!! I had my friend Jeff Brewer come over and we had a blast recording this podcast.  Jeff is a master at helping people launch their products (he was hugely instrumental in our pregnancy training guide launch last year), and I thought we were going to talk business, but I was pleasantly surprised when we really pulled back the curtain and our conversation took a different direction.

Jeff shared how when he was in junior high, his father was sent to prison for embezzlement.  He was the same age I was when my mom was sent to prison! We connected on a lot of levels, and he shared what it was like for him at that age, how his mom was a huge influence in his life as he watched her build companies and raise her boys…..all as a single mom.

He shared hardships he went through to get to where he is at now, including developing a severe stutter as an adult and the steps he went through to work through that.

We finished up by talking about things he felt his mom did a great job with as a single parent that helped shape his own drive and work ethic.

This will be a great podcast to tune into if you want to hear a great story of someone who has overcome many obstacles in their way to get to where they are at.  I loved recording this episode and hope you guys love it too!

A few years ago I went through one of the most painful and emotional experiences of my life.  I had an ectopic pregnancy and lost a baby that I wanted so badly. I released a podcast today where I talk about my experience, tell the entire story of what happened, the ambulance ride, the emergency surgery they had to perform, how I lost a fallopian tube, and the emotional roller coaster that I experienced afterwards.Miscarriage is something I completely misunderstood….until I went through it myself.  This is embarrassing to admit, but I used to remember thinking (when I heard about other women having miscarriages), “well...that’s sad but not as sad as if they lost a REAL baby”.  I now know that the experiences are completely different, but I was so naive back then to how hard the experience really is for a mother. In this podcast I talk about:-My own story and experience-How I went from sad and angry, to thankful, back to sad and angry and feelings of “not fair” -What my recovery from the surgery was like (might be a bit TMI)-How my husband (now ex-husband) handled things differently than I did-The feelings of hatred I had towards my body for letting me down-The anxiety attacks I experienced afterwards-The fears I had/have about having any more children and having it happen again-Tips on what to say and what NOT to say if a friend or loved one has gone through a miscarriage

I hope you tune in. I wish this is a topic that more people openly talked about.  For me, knowing I wasn’t alone in my experience helped me heal and cope so much.So much love,

Natalie
