In this episode, I chat with Michael Bungay Stanier, bestselling author of The Coaching Habit and an expert in coaching and connection, about how to create a life that truly aligns with your potential. Michael shares powerful insights into setting “worthy goals”—those that are thrilling, important, and daunting—and how they can guide personal and professional reinvention.

We explore the difference between being good at something and feeling fulfilled by it, unpacking why self-awareness is key to setting meaningful goals. Michael also delves into the neuroscience behind connection, the courage it takes to embrace change, and how understanding identity plays a role in creating a life of purpose.

This conversation touches on navigating fear, reclaiming ambition as a tool for growth, and the transformative process of reinvention. Michael offers practical wisdom for letting go of old identities and embracing the discomfort of stepping into something new. Whether you're working toward a big goal, rethinking your ambitions, or longing for a fresh chapter, this episode will inspire you to trust the process and create a life that feels fully aligned with who you are becoming.

In this episode, I sit down with Fran Hauser for a rich conversation about reinvention—how it shows up in our lives, the role self-awareness plays in guiding our decisions, and the challenges of fear and risk when making career shifts. We discuss how building a strong support network can often be more valuable than any specific skill set.

One of my favorite insights from Fran is that reinvention doesn’t have to mean big, sweeping changes—it can start with reflecting on what parts of your current role are meaningful to you, what brings you joy, and then finding ways to do more of that. If you’re navigating change or looking to uncover your unique gifts, this episode is packed with insights to help you stretch beyond your comfort zone.

In this episode, I sit down with the insightful Jerry Colonna to explore inner transformation, radical self-inquiry, and the power of self-compassion. Together, we dive into how true reinvention begins from within, often sparked by moments of personal suffering, and how recognizing our role in our own discomfort can lead to profound growth.

Jerry shares his wisdom on the crucial distinction between guilt and remorse, encouraging a compassionate lens for self-reflection.

Throughout our conversation, Jerry emphasizes that radical self-inquiry is essential not only for personal healing but also for effective, empathetic leadership.

Are you ready for a reinvention? To uncover a more authentic, fulfilled version of yourself?

In this special episode I'm recording on my 49th birthrday, I’m reflecting on a transformative year of personal and professional reinvention. From navigating self-doubt to chasing audacious goals, I’m sharing 10 powerful lessons I’ve learned this year — and how they can inspire your transformation.

I explore how change unfolds gradually (until it doesn’t), the surprising risks of staying stagnant, and how taking action—even small steps—can build the confidence you need to dream big.

And I dive into why you don’t need to try and get rid of self-doubt, why your future is more important than your post, and how your mindset shapes your reality.

Reinvention is not about becoming someone new. It’s about becoming more of who you are.

Isn’t it time you spread your wings?

In this solo episode of my Tea with Nataly series, I explore the transformative power of making decisions from a place of hope rather than fear. Using a real-life case study of Anna, a nonprofit leader facing a pivotal career decision, I uncover how hope can open us up to expansive thinking and new possibilities, while fear tends to narrow our focus and highlight obstacles.

I share three powerful inner checks to help you assess your mindset when making decisions: Are you feeling expansive or constricted? Are you focused on possibilities or obstacles? And are you aligned with your purpose or caught up in ego?

We’ll dive into how a hopeful mindset isn’t just wishful thinking—it’s about believing in possibilities, aligning with your authentic self, and taking intentional steps toward your goals. If you’ve ever struggled to make a choice that feels both meaningful and true to who you are, this episode will guide you toward decisions that honor your values and potential.

Why do we stop asking adults, “What do you want to be when you grow up?”

In this episode of Tea with Nataly, we dive into the powerful yet often-overlooked question of what it means to aspire as adults. Somewhere between childhood dreams and grown-up responsibilities, many of us stop envisioning our future selves. But why?

I reflect on the fears that hold us back from self-discovery and share personal stories about what it means to embrace reinvention—at any age. We explore how daring to ask ourselves what we truly want can spark growth, challenge limiting beliefs, and lead us closer to uncovering our authentic selves.

Whether you’re in a season of reinvention or simply curious about how to keep evolving, this episode will inspire you to keep becoming. Because no matter your life stage, your journey is still unfolding.
