Have you ever felt like you’re spinning so many plates that one is bound to crash?

In this quickie episode, Natalie shares how she’s juggling two big roles, maintaining her current business and scaling something new, and the surprising freedom that comes when you intentionally let a plate drop.

She gets real about missing a podcast episode for the first time, why it didn’t derail her business, and how honoring her non-negotiable values (freedom, family, community, authenticity, adventure) became her compass.

If you’ve ever felt guilty about skipping a commitment, questioned whether you’re dropping the ball, or needed permission to choose rest and alignment over hustle, this episode is for you.

WEEKLY CHALLENGE

This week, I challenge you to pick one plate you can put down. Whether that means skipping a meeting that doesn’t light you up, saying no to a draining project, or choosing sleep and family over an optional task, just let one thing go. Notice how it feels.
