In this powerful and deeply honest episode, Natasha sits down with Tiffani Pugliese to talk about something so many moms carry quietly — mental illness while trying to be the best mother possible.

Together, they open up about what it looks like to parent while navigating anxiety, depression, and the daily work of mental health. This conversation isn’t about perfection — it’s about self-awareness, healing, and choosing help.

We discuss:

• What managing mental illness in motherhood really looks like

• Tools and practices that have helped most on our healing journeys

• The importance of being bold, resilient, and radically honest with yourself

• Why asking for help is not weakness -  it’s love

In Episode 3 of Beautiful Chaos with Natasha, Natasha sits
down with Kendall Welden — a small-town girl who has built a million-
dollar empire through entrepreneurship, consistency, and faith.
Kendall is a wife, mom of three, business owner, and content creator who
has built not only successful brands, but a beautiful family and an engaged
social media community. In this episode, she pulls back the curtain on the
real life behind social media — the pressure, the stigma, the expectations,
and the reality of being visible online while raising a family.

This conversation dives into motherhood in the spotlight, balancing
ambition with presence, and navigating the tension between real life and
curated content. Kendall also shares honest advice for women who want to
build a career in social media — what it truly takes, what to protect, and
how to stay grounded.

At the heart of it all is faith — following your gut, being led by the Lord, and
trusting His guidance in both business and motherhood.

In this episode, we talk about:

• Building a million-dollar business from a small town.
• The reality behind social media vs. what people see online.
• The stigma of being active on social media as a mom.
• Balancing motherhood, marriage, and ambition.
• Advice for women wanting to build a career on social media.
• Being led by faith and following your God-given intuition.

This episode is for women who feel called to build — without losing
themselves, their families, or their faith in the process.

scared to say out loud.

stepmother, growing up as a stepchild, and how those experiences deeply
shape motherhood, identity, and relationships. Nothing is sugar-coated.
