Have you ever had a conversation with a total stranger-- on a
plane, on a bus, on a train-- that totally changed your life?
I know, I know. That's a bit much. But seriously.
Have you ever sat down with zero intention of talking to the
person next to you only to realize three hours later that you never
stopped talking and the plane is already landing?!
I have.
And it happened to me in Burma, of all places!
And I'm thankful that I can call that person a friend to this
day.
Natalie Brown and I actually met before this fateful flight. But
I bet if you ask either of us, we had only been acquaintance up
until that moment. I believe that it was that flight and that
conversation that finally bumped us up into the Friend Zone.
We had a conversation that was so vulnerable, so humble, and so
meaningful that I've only had it matched a handful of times to this
day.
I know you've had these experiences, too-- one person says one
thing and all of a sudden... you feel...
Understood.
Heard.
Loved.
All of a sudden you realize...
You are not alone.
I wanted to bring Natalie on the show today to give y'all that
exact same perspective.
Natalie is actively going through a bit life transformation now,
and she was brave enough to come on the show and share her
experiences with you here today. It's raw. It's real. It's a
revelation.
I know you'll love her as much as I do.
This episode is perfect for you if you want to:

Learn more about yourself
Start to find ways to embrace calm despite the chaos life
Build confidence and courage
Let go of the limiting beliefs and expectations that others
have for your life
Really be transformed by someone who understand you

Oh, and we talk about traveling the world two times before
you're 25.
NBD.
So here, with all my life and all my light, is Natalie!
