#5 Redefining Ambition: Slowing Down for Self-Discovery with Steve Schlafman
21 Oct 2024
00:58:03
In this episode, I sit down with Steve Schlafman to explore the challenges and beauty of slowing down and the profound process of self-discovery. Steve shares his journey of leaving a successful career in venture capital to embark on a path of introspection, and we dive into the importance of listening to our inner knowing and embracing uncertainty along the way.
We discuss the struggle of slowing down in a fast-paced world, including the tendency to distract ourselves instead of getting quiet. Steve shares his approach to helping high performers navigate transitions and find clarity during times of change. We also tackle a big question: Is slowing down at odds with ambition? Spoiler: It’s not about losing your drive, but rather about finding the right balance and living with more intention. If you are navigating through a transition, this conversation offers valuable insights to help you recalibrate and thrive.

#1 Introducing REINVENT•ABILITY: Unlocking Your Future Self
21 Oct 2024
00:20:43
Welcome to the first episode of the Reinventability podcast! In this kickoff episode, I introduce the concept of reinventability and explore the three possible future selves we all carry with us: the future self we aspire to become, the future self we expect to become, and the future self we fear becoming.
I delve into how these future selves influence the choices we make today and share a personal story about my own journey of reinventing myself—specifically, how I intentionally envisioned and took action to become the future self who spoke English without an accent.
This episode is all about understanding the power of envisioning your future self and the importance of taking deliberate action. We’ll explore how learning through experimentation helps you carve out the path toward becoming the person you truly want to be.

In this episode, I explore the Acorn Theory—a powerful idea from James Hillman that suggests each of us has an inner essence, a soul’s purpose, waiting to be uncovered. I share my own journey of self-discovery, the courage it takes to align with your true calling, and why finding purpose isn’t about overthinking—it’s about actively engaging with life.
We’ll talk about the messy, beautiful process of reinvention, the freedom that comes from embracing who you truly are, and why listening to the whispers of your soul’s calling can lead to deep fulfillment.
If you’ve ever wondered how to get closer to your true path (or if you even have one!), this episode is for you.

#24 Giving Up Rigid Goals for Tiny Experiments with Anne-Laure Le Cunff
03 Mar 2025
00:45:26
In this episode, I talk with with Anne-Laure Le Cunff, neuroscientist and author of Tiny Experiments: How to Live Freely in a Goal-Obsessed World, to explore how shifting from a rigid, goal-oriented mindset to one of joyful experimentation can unlock personal growth and fulfillment.
We talk about the fear of not having all the answers, the power of acknowledging when you feel lost, and why letting go of the pressure to have a perfect plan can actually lead to more meaningful progress.
We also dive into the concept of the maximalist brain—how an overcomplicated approach to thinking can hold us back—and why small, structured experiments can be a game-changer. Anne-Laure breaks down the four core principles of living life as a series of experiments, offering practical advice on designing tiny tests that help you explore new directions, collect insights, and make more intentional decisions.
At its heart, this conversation is about embracing uncertainty with curiosity rather than fear—seeing the unknown not as something to be avoided, but as a beautiful opportunity for discovery and growth.

#15 10 Life-Changing Lessons I Learned About Reinvention
30 Dec 2024
00:37:13
Are you ready for a reinvention? To uncover a more authentic, fulfilled version of yourself?
In this special episode I'm recording on my 49th birthrday, I’m reflecting on a transformative year of personal and professional reinvention. From navigating self-doubt to chasing audacious goals, I’m sharing 10 powerful lessons I’ve learned this year — and how they can inspire your transformation.
I explore how change unfolds gradually (until it doesn’t), the surprising risks of staying stagnant, and how taking action—even small steps—can build the confidence you need to dream big.
And I dive into why you don’t need to try and get rid of self-doubt, why your future is more important than your post, and how your mindset shapes your reality.
Reinvention is not about becoming someone new. It’s about becoming more of who you are.
Isn’t it time you spread your wings?

#14 Fear vs. Hope: A Simple Framework for Making Decisions
23 Dec 2024
00:17:38
In this solo episode of my Tea with Nataly series, I explore the transformative power of making decisions from a place of hope rather than fear. Using a real-life case study of Anna, a nonprofit leader facing a pivotal career decision, I uncover how hope can open us up to expansive thinking and new possibilities, while fear tends to narrow our focus and highlight obstacles.
I share three powerful inner checks to help you assess your mindset when making decisions: Are you feeling expansive or constricted? Are you focused on possibilities or obstacles? And are you aligned with your purpose or caught up in ego?
We’ll dive into how a hopeful mindset isn’t just wishful thinking—it’s about believing in possibilities, aligning with your authentic self, and taking intentional steps toward your goals. If you’ve ever struggled to make a choice that feels both meaningful and true to who you are, this episode will guide you toward decisions that honor your values and potential.

00:22:31
Why do we stop asking adults, “What do you want to be when you grow up?”
In this episode of Tea with Nataly, we dive into the powerful yet often-overlooked question of what it means to aspire as adults. Somewhere between childhood dreams and grown-up responsibilities, many of us stop envisioning our future selves. But why?

#11 Facing Fear: Michele Poler on Courage, Authenticity, and the Gift of Getting Uncomfortable
02 Dec 2024
00:32:38
In this episode, I sit down with Michelle Poler to talk about fear—how it shows up in our lives, holds us back, and, most importantly, how we can shift from fear into growth and joy! Michelle shares her powerful journey of facing 100 fears in 100 days, and we dive into the critical distinction between fear and intuition, as well as how having a strong "why" helps us confront and work through our fears.
We explore the tension between courage and authenticity, and how defining what success truly means to you can unlock a more fulfilling, purpose-driven life. One of the most eye-opening takeaways from this conversation is how often we avoid discomfort in favor of comfort, only to realize that comfort can be more dangerous than fear itself. If you're ready to step outside your comfort zone and embrace growth, this episode is filled with wisdom to help you face your fears head-on and find unexpected joy on the other side.

In this special episode, I sit down with my daughter, Mia, for an honest and inspiring conversation about her journey of reinvention. Mia opens up about a pivotal moment in her life when a lower grade in a tough chemistry class left her feeling shaken and uncertain about her future.

00:17:05
How do you move through failure without getting stuck in it?

#29 Redefining Success on Your Terms with Denise Brown MD
07 Apr 2025
00:39:18
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.

31 Mar 2025
00:17:04
How do you embrace change instead of resisting it?
In this episode, I share a personal story about a lost painting, a keynote speech, and an unexpected lesson in reinvention. Change is constant, but how we respond to it determines whether we grow or stay stuck.
I dive into the mindset shifts that help us navigate uncertainty—focusing on possibilities instead of obstacles, taking action even when we don’t have all the answers, and recognizing discomfort as a natural part of growth. Because clarity doesn’t come from overthinking—it comes from doing.
If you’re facing change (or resisting it), this episode will help you reframe uncertainty and step into your own power to reinvent.

00:13:07
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.
