Sick and Successful Podcast

 A life-reflecting episode comes with a surprise announcement.

In this episode, Natalie will be tackling her ways of balancing not just one or two but three aspects of her life: Motherhood, Chronic Illness, and Entrepreneurship.

This episode will discuss how having a full-time business can align with being a mother of soon-to-be two kids, how knowing the answers to life questions and know your purpose can help you carve the life you envision, not guilt-tripping yourself into doing things differently as a mother, knowing the distinction of the hierarchical importance of things, and surround yourself with a great support system can help you have that balanced life. 

00:00:50 - The Big Announcement (Intro)

00:01:50 - How Did You Balance Motherhood, Chronic Illness, and Entrepreneurship?

00:05:50 - Tip No. 1: Know the Answers and Find Your Purpose in Life
