Episode Overview:
Entrepreneurs are not born-- they’re made. For my guest today, I have Natalie Watts, an award-winning photographer, educator, mentor, and mother to her son, Danny. With her experience in fashion photography for Elle UK, Cosmopolitan, and Vogue, Natalie finally decided that she was ready for self-employment.
Since becoming pregnant at the age of 17 and giving birth at the age of 18, Natalie grew up alongside her son, all while balancing her education and progressing her skills in her creative industry. In this episode, I’ve invited her to share how she balances everything-- from being a mother to being a creative entrepreneur.
