We as individuals become a powerful force when we learn how to work alongside each other with the goal of authentic collaboration over competition. Which is exactly what Genevieve and the host of the Boise Bubble Podcast, Natalie, discuss in this week’s episode. As the creator behind Hello Meridian, a business focused on bringing community together, Natalie knows more than a thing or two about what it means to lift others up and how to show up authentically in a vibrant and growing community. Awarded  "Small Business of the year" for 2020 from the City of Meridian, Natalie shares her take on the value of kindness in today’s modern world, how to be open to different ideas and perspectives, the importance of boundaries & priorities, the realness behind burnout, and how to identify relationships that no longer serve (and how to respectfully and considerately move forward from them).

Natalie also opens up about what what it's like to work in social media right now, being a highly recognized influencer, and the one thing she wishes our community would practice more often. 

Genevieve & Natalie also engage in a lightening round of “Zest or Zat” where Natalie opens up about her travel experiences including living in the Middle East, sleeping on the streets of Italy, and the one culture she would love to experience the most.
