Tipa Revolution: The Podcast

In this Tipa Talk, I’m joined by Nikki J-E Turner - coach, facilitator, mom, aspiring yogi & salsera, and someone I have watched take so many courageous tipas - for a conversation about reconnecting with ourselves, rebuilding self-trust, and reimagining the paths we choose for our lives and work.   What started as one of our many private voice note exchanges and walk-and-talks became this beautiful, honest conversation, and I'm so glad we got to share it publicly. Together, we explore: ✨The journey back to self-trust - what it looks like in the small, every day moments and why it begins with slowing down enough to listen to your body ✨ The practices that help us feel grounded and more like ourselves ✨ The tricky, sticky, unclear parts of the journey we don’t talk about enough ✨ What it can look like to begin exploring a different path forward Connect with Nikki J-E Turner via: --> Her newsletter: The Reimagined Path--> LinkedIn--> 3C Impact Website And if you are a high-achieving woman ready to reclaim your energy, joy, and peace this summer, learn more about Nikki's group program, Enough Already, here.

What if the life you're longing for isn't waiting at the end of a distant road, but already taking shape in the steps you're taking right now?  In this Tipa Talk, I sit down with dear friend, Kiana - global citizen, obsessed techie, and coach to start-up founders - for a conversation years in the making. We explore what it means to find your purpose, why following your dreams doesn't require having it all figured out, and how small intentional steps build the self-trust that makes a meaningful life possible.Together, we explore: ✨ The courage it takes to admit that the life you've built isn't the one you dreamed of ✨ Why your dream life may not be as far away as fear makes it seem ✨ How alignment is where purpose-driven living begins✨ What overcoming self-doubt actually looks like in practice ✨ Why small steps are the most powerful path to building self-trust & creating a more aligned life.References from this episode: Persian Proverb Kiana discussed: قطره قطره جمع گردد وانگهی دریا شود ("Drop by drop, it gathers—until one day, it becomes the sea.")

What happens when a 12-year-old and a 10-year-old have been sitting with the wisdom of Tipa? Turns out, they have a lot to say. In this special Tipa Talk, I'm joined by two of my favorite humans, Solara and Kyano Louis, along with their incredible mother and my dear friend of many decades, Beatrice Louis. This conversation is a beautiful reminder that when we share our stories across generations, the wisdom can come back to us in ways we never expected. In this episode, we explore: Solara's earthquake moment and the mountain she became after Kyano on why failure is just tipa tipa in disguise Haitian pride and the awe of watching a story born in Haiti inspire the world Why the scariest things feel possible when you do them in community The moment the kids turn the mic around and ask the questions Would you like to be a guest for a future Tipa Talk?

In this mid-season update, I share what’s been unfolding behind the scenes as I’ve stepped into creating the second half of the season. Releasing the first five episodes after holding them for so long has felt incredibly freeing, and your messages, reviews, and reflections have meant so much. At the same time, real life has been very present, and I’ve been reminded of how important it is to honor my process, my capacity, and my pace. I'll touch on: What I’m learning about my creative rhythm How honoring my process & pace supports aligned creation How this season’s theme of reclaiming your power is showing up for me now What led me to embrace a mid-season intermission Reflection Questions Where in your life would a pause or intermission support you?

Sometimes the next step in rebuilding isn’t forward, it’s toward the person beside you. In this episode, I share a deeply personal story about my marriage: what happened when I chose to bring tipa, the wisdom of small steps, into one of the most important relationships of my life. What unfolded reminded me that reconnection isn’t a destination, it’s a practice. One that asks us to keep showing up, one micro-moment at a time. In this episode, we’ll explore: ✨ How small, imperfect moments began to rebuild connection in my marriage  ✨ The quiet power I discovered to shift the energy in our relationship  ✨ The ways love lives in the micro-moments, not the milestones  ✨ How facing what’s true—about ourselves and each other—opens the door to new possibilities Even if you’re not married, this episode is about something universal: the small steps we can take to reclaim what we most long to experience in any relationship in our lives. 💛 Access the Reflection Guide  🎧 New to the Podcast?

A few months after leaving my job, I begin to sense that the next chapter won’t start with a plan—it will start with me. As the pace around me slows, I realize how much I’ve been moving on autopilot—disconnected from my own voice and needs.

In this episode, we’ll explore: ✨ How slowing down helped me hear my own voice again. ✨ What I discovered in that quiet moment of clarity and calm. ✨ The small, steady tipas (steps) that helped me quiet the noise and start to rebuild trust in myself. ✨ Why this reconnection became the foundation for everything that followed. 💛 Link to join the community and receive access to our podcast reflection guides 🎧 New to the Podcast?

Sometimes the hardest part isn’t knowing what needs to change—it’s moving through the resistance to actually do it. Eight months after my “Not My Dream” moment, I was still stuck in the grind—burned out, afraid, and tangled in resistance. This episode is the turning point between awareness and action—my honest story of overcoming massive resistance, reclaiming my power, and taking that terrifying, yet liberating, next step toward a life that feels more like my own. In this episode, we’ll explore: ✨ Why resistance to change can feel so massive—and why it makes so much sense. ✨ How curiosity, compassion, and community can help loosen its grip. ✨ What it took for me to feel safe enough to take my next step. ✨ The powerful reframe that moved me from fear to freedom.

What happens when the life you’ve worked so hard to build no longer feels like yours? In this second episode, I share my “Not My Dream” moment—a quiet metaphorical earthquake that shook the foundation of my life. After years of striving, achieving, and doing everything “right,” I found myself depleted, disconnected, and realizing that the version of success I was living wasn’t truly mine. That realization marked a moment of awakening that would spark my inner revolution—a shift from living by expectation to living by intention, one conscious step at a time. In this episode, we'll explore:✨ The moment I realized this is not my dream—and why that awareness matters.✨ How doing everything “right” can still feel wrong—and what that reveals about alignment. ✨ What Alice Walker’s wisdom on power teaches us about reclaiming choice. ✨ The Change Formula—how discomfort, vision, and one small step can overcome resistance and spark transformation. ✨ Why naming “Not My Dream” can become the first powerful Tipa—an act of awakening and new possibility.  Resources & Links🔗⁠ Link to join our community and receive the Reflection Guides ⁠ 🔗 Link to Episode 1- Step by Step: The Wisdom That Sparked the Tipa Revolution⁠Let’s Connect👉🏾 Say hi on ⁠⁠⁠Youtube ⁠or ⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠👉🏾 Connect with Natalie on ⁠LinkedIn⁠👉🏾 Visit our ⁠⁠website⁠⁠ to ⁠sign up for our newsletter⁠ Credits ✨ Creative Strategy & Pre-Production by: ⁠Mónika of Laancla Creative⁠  ✨ Podcast & Video Post-Production: ⁠Melipona Soundworks⁠  ✨ Production Assistant: ⁠Mala Cabrera⁠  ✨ Music by: Jikela Joy     

What if the wisdom you need to move through life’s hardest moments has been within reach all along?  In this opening episode, I take you back to the day that changed everything—the 2010 Haiti earthquake. Amid the devastation, I witnessed an act of courage that planted the seed for what would become the Tipa Revolution. Through my colleague Paul’s simple, steady steps, I began to understand the power of tipa tipa—step by step—a wisdom that would later carry me through the most profound revolution of my life. This is where it all began: with the truth that step by step isn't just a way through life's hardest moments—it's the only way.  We'll explore: ✨The event that gave rise to the Tipa Revolution and how Paul’s story first brought its wisdom to life. ✨The universal nature of tipa tipa and what it teaches us about moving through uncertainty and overwhelm. ✨How our darkest and hardest experiences often carry the wisdom that strengthens and transforms us. ✨How this wisdom became the foundation for my own small-step revolution—and could be the spark for yours.   Resources & Links🔗⁠ Link to join our community and receive the Reflection Guides ⁠ 🔗 Link to 2014 talk on Tipa Tipa: The Wisdom of Step by Step ⁠ Let’s Connect 👉🏾 Say hi on ⁠⁠⁠Youtube ⁠or ⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠ 👉🏾 Connect with Natalie on ⁠LinkedIn⁠ 👉🏾 Visit our ⁠⁠website⁠⁠ to ⁠sign up for our newsletter⁠ Credits ✨ Creative Strategy & Pre-Production by: ⁠Mónika of Laancla Creative⁠  ✨ Podcast & Video Post-Production: ⁠Melipona Soundworks⁠  ✨ Production Assistant: ⁠Mala Cabrera⁠  ✨ Music by: Jikela Joy
