Natacha is a dynamic speaker and sought-after workshop facilitator who delivers compelling insights on workplace mental health, anxiety, racial trauma, women’s empowerment, and emotional regulation. Whether on international stages or virtual platforms, her expertise and passionate delivery continue to inspire and empower individuals and organizations alike. We discussed: - Social connection is essential in building resilience and fostering healing through collective support. - Transformation of pain into purpose through resilience and intentional healing is powerful. - Healthy resilience involves processing emotions rather than suppressing them. - Trusting the beginning of the healing journey and embracing intentional resilience is crucial. - Mindset shifts, reframing critical comments, and recognizing the inner voice influence self-perception. - Recognizing the power of choice and voice in making decisions can impact future generations. - Advocating for women to live authentically and reject societal norms that stifle authenticity is important.   Stay connected with Natacha online: Website Instagram Stay connected with us online: MakiniSmith.com Legacy Leavers Media Facebook Instagram Threads Youtube LinkedIn Books Send feedback/questions to [email protected] Submit guest suggestions HERE Make a donation to keep the show going!   Podcast music produced by: defnottyrell This episode is brought to you by Herbal Face Food.
