    Walk With Me: What Would You Do If You Had 10x the Courage?

    In this Walk With Me episode, I'm asking you the question I ask every keynote audience when we talk about envisioning new possibilities.  I've watched thousands of people answer it, and the same two feelings show up every single time. Most people treat the second feeling as a stop sign. It's the opposite.  In this episode, I'm inviting you to think about:  - Why we stop envisioning new possibilities for ourselves - What the two feelings that show up when you imagine something new are telling you about your next - How to answer your brain when it demands to know exactly how you'll pull this off 🚀 Ready to create your next chapter? https://www.natalykogan.com/create-your-next  ✨ Work with Nataly: https://www.natalykogan.com/  📚 Books & Journals: https://www.natalykogan.com/books  💛 Loving the show?

    The Skeptic's Guide to Surrender: Sam Kukathas on Collapsing Time and Creating From Ease

    For most of us, when we feel stuck, the instinct is to do more and try harder. Sam Kukathas built his whole practice on the opposite idea: that the life you want is already here, buried under everything you've picked up along the way. Sam is a master of frequency attunement and the creator of Neuroresonance Optimization. He spent 13 years as a philosopher, with a doctorate in law at Oxford, living inside the head of an 18th-century Scotsman, before a series of unexpected awakenings led him to use his voice to help people quiet the mind and come home to themselves.  In this conversation we move through his darkest chapter and into what he calls collapsing time, and I even experience his sound work live on the episode. We talk about: Why the harder you push to "figure it out," the more the answer stays out of reachWhat surrender actually asks of you, and why it terrifies the high-achieving, analytical mind mostThe difference between becoming someone new and unbecoming everything that was never really you--- Learn more about Sam and his work:  soulpurposeleaders.com resonanceos.io --- 💥 Download the free From Stuck to Sparked guide: https://www.natalykogan.com/from-stuck-to-sparked-guide-download  🚀 Ready to create your next chapter? https://www.natalykogan.com/create-your-next  ✨ Work with Nataly: https://www.natalykogan.com/  📚 Books & Journals: https://www.natalykogan.com/books  💛 Loving the show?

    The Parts You're Hiding Are the Most Powerful Parts of You

    Somewhere along the way, you decided that certain parts of you don't belong in your work.  I made that same deal for most of my career: I kept my art, my spiritual practice, and other dimensions of who I am locked away from my professional life because I was afraid I'd lose credibility.  Then I made a decision that changed everything about how I work and live. In this episode, I share the story I held back for years, including the book cover I deliberately chose so my art would blend into the background, and what happened at my Art of Expansion retreat when six women leaders experienced what I could only create by finally bringing every part of myself into the room. I talk about: The dimension of yourself you've been keeping out of your work, and what all that filtering is quietly costing you in energy, ideas, and impactWhy the parts of you that feel like they "don't fit" are exactly what make you and your work distinctiveHow to tell the difference between staying credible and staying smallAnd I leave you with a dare for the week. It's a little scary, but that’s the point! 💥 Download my free From Stuck to Sparked guide: https://www.natalykogan.com/from-stuck-to-sparked-guide-download  🚀 Ready to create your next chapter? https://www.natalykogan.com/create-your-next  ✨ Work with Nataly: https://www.natalykogan.com/  📚 Books & Journals: https://www.natalykogan.com/books  💛 Loving the show?

    Walk With Me: The Word Shift That Takes You from Self-Doubt to Self-Trust

    The words we use impact our feelings, choices, and actions more than we realize. In this Walk With Me episode, recorded during my walk after leading my Art of Expansion retreat, I'm sharing a practice we did together that shifted the energy in the room immediately. It begins with something so simple it almost sounds like it couldn't possibly work. It does. In this short, unedited episode, I'm inviting you to think about: The words you're using right now to describe where you are and what they're costing youWhy the smallest language shifts can create the biggest internal changesHow to move from feeling helpless or lost into a place of real agency💥 Download my free From Stuck to Sparked guide: https://www.natalykogan.com/from-stuck-to-sparked-guide-download 🚀 Ready to create your next chapter? https://www.natalykogan.com/create-your-next ✨ Work with Nataly: https://www.natalykogan.com/ 📚 Books & Journals: https://www.natalykogan.com/books 💛 Loving the show?

    Your Brain on Uncertainty: Why a Fully Predictable Life Would Actually Be Terrible

    Imagine a world where nothing unexpected could ever happen to you. Every conversation, every outcome, fully predictable. Sounds peaceful, until it doesn't. In this episode, I share a thought experiment neuroscientists call the Dark Room problem, and what it reveals about a strange contradiction in all of us: we say we hate uncertainty, yet we seek it out constantly and even pay for it.  The science of why explains something powerful about what your brain actually rewards you for, and why waiting to feel certain before you start something new means skipping the best part. 💥 Download my free From Stuck to Sparked guide: https://www.natalykogan.com/from-stuck-to-sparked-guide-download 🚀 Ready to create your next chapter? https://www.natalykogan.com/create-your-next ✨ Work with me: https://www.natalykogan.com/ 📚 Books & Journals: https://www.natalykogan.com/books 💛 Loving the show?

    Your Someday Dream Is a Today Calling: My First Art Show at 50

    What if you never have to feel ready to start the thing you most want?  For my 50th birthday, I dared myself to have my first big international art show, with no gallery and no idea how I'd pull it off, after a decade of quietly painting in my basement and calling it "just a hobby." Here's how it happened, and what it taught me about creating your next: you decide what you want, then take the first small step. In this episode, you'll learn how to: Start the thing you want before you feel readyClaim your calling out loud instead of calling it "just a hobby"Move through the fear of being seen as your true selfTake the first small step when you don't have a planYou don't need a plan or permission to begin. You just need to decide what you want and take one small step toward it. 💥 Download my free From Stuck to Sparked guide: https://www.natalykogan.com/from-stuck-to-sparked-guide-download 🚀 Ready to create your next ? https://www.natalykogan.com/create-your-next ✨ Work with me: https://www.natalykogan.com/ 📚 Books & Journals: https://www.natalykogan.com/books  💛 Loving the show?

    How Paula Dared to Create When Her World Fell Apart

    What does it look like to dare to create something when your world has just fallen apart? Paula Harwell lost her husband — her person, her soulmate of nearly 30 years — and in the months that followed she joined my Unleash Your Next accelerator and chose to move forward. She didn't wait to feel healed. She didn't wait to feel ready. She decided that action and healing aren't opposites. And then Paula did something even more remarkable: she helped her son Cooper fulfill his dream of becoming a published author. In this conversation, Paula and I talk about what it actually means to carry grief and joy at the same table, the limiting beliefs that nearly stopped the book, and what she would say to anyone who is waiting to feel better before they dare to begin. 🔗 EPISODE LINKS 🎥 Watch this episode on YouTube: https://youtu.be/5QNBpr1nNqQ 🔥 Download the free From Stuck to Sparked guide — reconnect to what energizes you and take your next bold step: https://www.natalykogan.com/from-stuck-to-sparked-guide-download 🚀 Ready for your next reinvention?

    Walk With Me: The Subtle Ways You're Undervaluing Yourself (And What It's Costing You)

    There's something most of us do — often quietly, without even noticing — that tells us we're not worth the life we're actually trying to build. In this Walk With Me episode, I'm sharing a moment from a recent keynote that's been with me ever since. A woman dared herself to do something so simple it sounds almost too small to matter, and yet it said everything about the belief underneath. I did the same thing for years with my art. You're probably doing it somewhere in your life too. In this short, unedited episode, I’m inviting you to think about: Where you're quietly underinvesting in yourself and what you loveHow a single small belief shapes every choice you make without you realizing itWhat it actually means to honor your work — and yourself 💥 Download my free From Stuck to Sparked guide: https://www.natalykogan.com/from-stuck-to-sparked-guide-download 🚀 Ready to create your next chapter? https://www.natalykogan.com/create-your-next ✨ Work with Nataly: https://www.natalykogan.com/ 📚 Books & Journals: https://www.natalykogan.com/books 💛 Loving the show?
