Episode 130: A solo episode is long overdue so Natalie is jumping on the mic to fill The Real Reel community in on what’s been happening in her personal and work life. With her business, Rella, ramping up to launch in November, the stress has been building and Natalie opens up about the challenges she has been facing both emotionally and physically. It has been weighing on her heart to speak about her personal experience with imposter syndrome and share her story about constantly being underestimated as a woman in a male-dominated program in University. Flash forward— she graduated and none of her male counterparts that doubted her did! At 25, to say Natalie has accomplished a lot would be an understatement, but even with great amounts of success she still faces imposter syndrome regularly and has to work daily on building confidence. If you can relate to feeling like you don’t belong or find yourself constantly doubting your abilities, you’re not alone. This episode offers some strategies and guidance to quiet the inner critic and start growing your confidence.
