What if the biggest limits in your life were the ones you placed on yourself?

In this episode, I explore how we often create self-imposed boxes that keep us from experiencing true growth and creativity. I share insights from my mentorship program about recognizing these boundaries and challenging our self-identity—letting go of the labels and rules we place on ourselves to open up new possibilities.

If you’re ready to break free from limiting narratives and discover new pathways for growth, this episode is for you.

In this episode, I sit down with the insightful Jerry Colonna to explore inner transformation, radical self-inquiry, and the power of self-compassion. Together, we dive into how true reinvention begins from within, often sparked by moments of personal suffering, and how recognizing our role in our own discomfort can lead to profound growth.

Jerry shares his wisdom on the crucial distinction between guilt and remorse, encouraging a compassionate lens for self-reflection. We also unpack how ancestral influences shape our behaviors and emotions, highlighting the importance of understanding our past with empathy rather than blame. Throughout our conversation, Jerry emphasizes that radical self-inquiry is essential not only for personal healing but also for effective, empathetic leadership.

If you’re ready to peel back the layers, embrace all parts of yourself, and lead with empathy—whether in your personal life or at work—this episode offers deep insights to guide your journey.

Are you ready for a reinvention? To uncover a more authentic, fulfilled version of yourself?

In this special episode I'm recording on my 49th birthrday, I’m reflecting on a transformative year of personal and professional reinvention. From navigating self-doubt to chasing audacious goals, I’m sharing 10 powerful lessons I’ve learned this year — and how they can inspire your transformation.

I explore how change unfolds gradually (until it doesn’t), the surprising risks of staying stagnant, and how taking action—even small steps—can build the confidence you need to dream big. 

And I dive into why you don’t need to try and get rid of self-doubt, why your future is more important than your post, and how your mindset shapes your reality. 

Reinvention is not about becoming someone new. It’s about becoming more of who you are.

Isn’t it time you spread your wings?

In this solo episode of my Tea with Nataly series, I explore the transformative power of making decisions from a place of hope rather than fear. Using a real-life case study of Anna, a nonprofit leader facing a pivotal career decision, I uncover how hope can open us up to expansive thinking and new possibilities, while fear tends to narrow our focus and highlight obstacles.

I share three powerful inner checks to help you assess your mindset when making decisions: Are you feeling expansive or constricted? Are you focused on possibilities or obstacles? And are you aligned with your purpose or caught up in ego?

We’ll dive into how a hopeful mindset isn’t just wishful thinking—it’s about believing in possibilities, aligning with your authentic self, and taking intentional steps toward your goals. If you’ve ever struggled to make a choice that feels both meaningful and true to who you are, this episode will guide you toward decisions that honor your values and potential.

Why do we stop asking adults, “What do you want to be when you grow up?”

In this episode of Tea with Nataly, we dive into the powerful yet often-overlooked question of what it means to aspire as adults. Somewhere between childhood dreams and grown-up responsibilities, many of us stop envisioning our future selves. But why?

I reflect on the fears that hold us back from self-discovery and share personal stories about what it means to embrace reinvention—at any age. We explore how daring to ask ourselves what we truly want can spark growth, challenge limiting beliefs, and lead us closer to uncovering our authentic selves.

Whether you’re in a season of reinvention or simply curious about how to keep evolving, this episode will inspire you to keep becoming. Because no matter your life stage, your journey is still unfolding.

In this episode, I sit down with Michelle Poler to talk about fear—how it shows up in our lives, holds us back, and, most importantly, how we can shift from fear into growth and joy! Michelle shares her powerful journey of facing 100 fears in 100 days, and we dive into the critical distinction between fear and intuition, as well as how having a strong "why" helps us confront and work through our fears.

We explore the tension between courage and authenticity, and how defining what success truly means to you can unlock a more fulfilling, purpose-driven life. One of the most eye-opening takeaways from this conversation is how often we avoid discomfort in favor of comfort, only to realize that comfort can be more dangerous than fear itself. If you're ready to step outside your comfort zone and embrace growth, this episode is filled with wisdom to help you face your fears head-on and find unexpected joy on the other side.

In this special episode, I sit down with my daughter, Mia, for an honest and inspiring conversation about her journey of reinvention. Mia opens up about a pivotal moment in her life when a lower grade in a tough chemistry class left her feeling shaken and uncertain about her future.

But this setback sparked a powerful internal and external reinvention. Mia talks about how she shifted her perspective, choosing to rewrite her narrative by focusing on her deep purpose—her dream of going to medical school. She reflects on how she reminded herself of past successes, harnessed her ability to grow, and took action by creating new systems and strategies to stay organized and prioritize her time.

It was a giant gift to me to hear Mia share her experience and lessons learned — and a hugely proud mama moment! — and if your confidence has been shaken, or you’re facing a challenge, I know it will empower you.

In this episode, I speak with Gay Hendricks, the author of The Big Leap, a book that has had a huge impact on me, about fulfillment, self-discovery, and how we can break through the limits we often place on ourselves. Gay dives into the “upper limit problem,” explaining how it keeps us from fully receiving the love and success we deserve. Together, we explore the role of fear, why it’s so important to embrace it, and how self-awareness can help us overcome limiting beliefs.

We also discuss daily practices that nurture connection and what it really means to live in our “genius zone.” If you’ve ever felt stuck in your comfort zone or unsure of how to step into your true potential, this episode will offer you practical insights and heartfelt guidance.
