About Your Host:
Hi, I’m Natalie!
I’m an expert in helping you find your purpose, create abundance and turn your passions into a lifestyle. I’m a certified leadership and co-active coach, best-selling author, transformational teacher, Ivy League University and top business school graduate and adventurer. Over the past nearly twenty years, I have helped thousands of soulful go-getters – entrepreneurs, Fortune 100 executives, not-for-profit leaders and in the top echelons of government – make a huge impact in the world while taking radically good care of themselves and creating lives they love.
I created my extraordinary life and believe that anybody can do it! I left a high-flying career in international development to pursue my own version of success. I’ve lived in five countries, studied extensively with healers and shamans around the world and have traveled to over 60 countries.
I speak English, Spanish and Russian fluently and can get by in French. I currently live in Colombia, South America and spend about 4 months a year in the United States and traveling the world with my husband and three daughters. I’m passionate about learning from different cultures, creating community, being in nature and creative expression. I also volunteer with several organizations that focus on the empowerment of women.
