What if the uncertainty and discomfort you've been avoiding is actually essential to your vitality and your health?That's the idea I couldn't stop thinking about on my morning walk around Boston. And then I found the research that backs it up.In this Walk With Me episode, I share what psychologists call vitality — that state of being energized, resilient, and fully alive — and the science that shows the most direct path to it isn't comfort or stability. It's doing things that are genuinely challenging and uncertain.(NOTE: I was walking too fast and did not name one of the scientists whose research on vitality I referred to. His name is Moshe Bar -- you can learn more about him and his work here.)This one will completely reframe how you think about the change and stress you're navigating right now.Your dare: the next time change brings stress and doubt, don't take it as a signal something is wrong.

What if the riskiest thing you can do isn't starting something new but standing still?At 24, my husband Avi and I launched a publishing company from a 600-square-foot illegal sublet in New York City. We both had full-time jobs, zero publishing experience, and one idea I came home with after jury duty. We called it NataviGuides, competed with the biggest publishing houses in the world, and figured out everything — printing, distribution, sales — as we went.In this conversation, Avi and I look back 25 years later at what that audacious, messy, wonderful adventure actually taught us.About starting before you feel ready, building something hard inside a marriage, knowing when it's time to let go, and why the person you become by doing the hard thing matters more than any outcome.If you've been sitting on an idea waiting for the right moment, the right plan, or enough experience, this episode is your reminder  to stop waiting and start moving.Your dare this week: What's one "unreasonable" idea you've been dismissing? Identify one step toward it and take it today.🎥 Watch on YouTube: https://youtu.be/pb3jtLHFzt0💥 Free From Stuck to Sparked guide: https://www.natalykogan.com/from-stuck-to-sparked-guide-download 🚀 Ready to build your next chapter: https://www.natalykogan.com/unleash-your-next ✨ Work with Nataly: natalykogan.com 📚 Books & Journals: natalykogan.com/books 💛 Loving the show?

Fear isn't a stop sign. It's your brain doing exactly what it's designed to do.And once you understand why it shows up every single time you're on the threshold of something new, you stop letting it run the show.In this first Walk With Me episode — an unedited, unfiltered series recorded live on Nataly's morning walks — she gets into how your brain works as a prediction machine, why breaking a pattern triggers fear every single time, and how to give your brain something powerful enough to move toward instead of just away from the unknown.The real signal you're looking for isn't fearlessness. It's the magic combination of scared and excited — and once you know how to use it as your inner compass, everything changes.Your dare this week: tell yourself the truth about the one thing that keeps quietly pulling at you — the thing you've been dismissing because of fear or doubt. And if it's scary and excited? Take one tiny step toward it.💥 Download my free From Stuck to Sparked guide: www.natalykogan.com/from-stuck-to-sparked-guide-download🚀 Ready to unleash what's next? www.natalykogan.com/unleash-your-next✨ Work with me: natalykogan.com📚 Books & Journals: www.natalykogan.com/books💛 Loving the show?

In this episode, I share a surprising yet powerful technique to help you make tough decisions with more clarity and confidence: checking in with your future self.

In this energizing conversation, I sit down with Goldie Chan to explore how introverts can harness the power of personal branding without feeling like they have to “perform” as extroverts. We unpack some of the biggest misconceptions about introversion, why self-awareness is the cornerstone of an authentic brand, and how even the smallest stories you share can create meaningful connections.Goldie shares insights from her upcoming book, Personal Branding for Introverts, and offers practical strategies for building a brand that feels true to who you are.

In this episode, I explore the messy, essential phase of reinvention through the story of James Dyson, who created 5,127 prototypes before finally inventing the vacuum that changed everything. We’ll talk about why the “goo” stage of reinvention is unavoidable, how clarity emerges through action (not just thinking), and the mindset shifts that can help you keep going when progress feels slow.I’ll share practical strategies for navigating your own prototyping season—like counting actions instead of outcomes, measuring progress backwards, celebrating small wins, and reconnecting to your bigger why.If you’ve been feeling stuck or doubting whether your efforts matter, this episode will remind you that every small, imperfect action is a step toward what’s next.Watch this and other episodes of the podcast on Nataly's YouTube Channel:  https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCoi-XJT3UfouhAT0GkkayVw      ➡️ Sign up for Nataly’s weekly email:https://www.natalykogan.com/email-sign-up🌟 For more about Nataly and her work, including the REINVENT•ABILITY Accelerator, mentorship programs, books and speaking, please visit: www.natalykogan.com

What if you acted like doubt didn’t get a say?In this episode, I dive into one of the biggest misunderstandings about confidence: that it’s something you either have or you don’t.(Spoiler: it’s not true.)I share why self-doubt is a completely normal part of being human—and why the key to confidence isn’t “getting rid of it,” but learning how to lead yourself through it.You’ll learn about the ‘as if’ practice—a simple but powerful shift that helps you take action from a place of possibility, even when your inner critic is loud.We’ll talk about emotional mastery, why your feelings aren’t facts, and how to stop letting doubt dictate your next step.Because the truth is: confidence isn’t a trait.

In this episode, I sit down with Talia for a real, heartfelt conversation about something we all struggle with—talking about what we do in a way that feels alive and exciting. We dig into the societal norms and self-awareness hurdles that often hold us back from showing up fully in conversations. Talia introduces the "Three P's" framework (pain, problem, passion) to help bring more depth and aliveness to how we share our stories, and we talk about the importance of taking up space, owning your gifts, and being authentic in every interaction.We also get into why asking deeper questions and leading with what truly moves you can transform how you connect with others.

How do you move through failure without getting stuck in it?In this solo episode, I’m getting real about something we all face—but rarely talk about honestly: failure and disappointment. I share some personal stories and walk you through a 3-step framework to help you process setbacks in a way that actually supports your growth. We’ll talk about why it’s so important to feel your feelings (not bulldoze through them), how to reframe the meaning you assign to failure, and what it looks like to step into your agency—because failure doesn’t define you, your choices do.If you’ve been feeling stuck or discouraged, this episode will invigorate you to move forward -- that's a promise!Watch this and other episodes of the podcast on Nataly's YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCoi-XJT3UfouhAT0GkkayVw ➡️ Sign up for Nataly’s weekly email:https://www.natalykogan.com/email-sign-up🌟 For more about Nataly and her work, including the REINVENT•ABILITY Accelerator, mentorship programs, books and speaking, please visit: www.natalykogan.com

In this episode, I sit down with the incredible Denise Brown to talk about reinvention, personal satisfaction, and what it really means for women to define success on their own terms. Denise’s journey—from doctor to CEO to author—is a powerful example of how curiosity, flexibility, and the courage to ask for help can open unexpected doors.We dive into the core message of her new book, The Fairy God Doctor's Guide to a Good Life: A Prescription for the Working Woman, which challenges the idea that success is about checking society’s boxes. Instead, she encourages women to prioritize what actually matters to them. Along the way, Denise shares the lessons she’s learned from big career shifts, the power of making choices (without chasing perfection), and why no one has to do it all alone.If you’ve ever questioned whether you’re on the right path or felt pressure to live up to someone else’s definition of success, this conversation will remind you that you get to decide what ‘having it all’ really looks like.Watch this and other episodes of the podcast on Nataly's YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCoi-XJT3UfouhAT0GkkayVw ➡️ Sign up for Nataly’s weekly email:https://www.natalykogan.com/email-sign-up🌟 For more about Nataly and her work, including the REINVENT•ABILITY Accelerator, mentorship programs, books and speaking, please visit: www.natalykogan.comFor more about Denise and her work:https://www.denisesbrownmd.com/Buy a copy of Denise's book: The Fairy God Doctor's Guide to the Good Lifehttps://a.co/d/emGD9Ce
