Tipa Revolution: The Podcast

Natalie Domond

We are living in complex, overwhelming times. And yet—even when the world feels like too much—we still have the power to choose our next step. I’m Natalie Domond—certified leadership coach, mother, and founder of Tipa Revolution™. This podcast explores the universal wisdom of Tipa, which means “small step” in Haitian Creole, as a way to move through just about anything life may throw your way. In Season One, I share my own story—moments of overwhelm, burnout, change, disconnection, and awakening—and how my "small step" revolution transformed my life, helping me reconnect with myself and reclaim the power that was always within me, tipa tipa. Each episode blends storytelling, insight, and reflection prompts to help you connect with your own wisdom along the way, trust yourself more deeply, and take your next intentional step. Whether you're navigating a major life transition, questioning your definition of success, searching for a greater sense of purpose, or simply longing to feel more like yourself again, you're in the right place. If you're ready to explore a world where small steps ARE the big ones, I invite you to join me. 💫 Subscribe now on YouTube, Spotify, or Apple Podcasts, and let’s take our next step together.

    5. Tipa Tipa: Restoring Connection in My Marriage

    Sometimes the next step in rebuilding isn’t forward, it’s toward the person beside you. In this episode, I share a deeply personal story about my marriage: what happened when I chose to bring tipa, the wisdom of small steps, into one of the most important relationships of my life. What unfolded reminded me that reconnection isn’t a destination, it’s a practice. One that asks us to keep showing up, one micro-moment at a time. In this episode, we’ll explore: ✨ How small, imperfect moments began to rebuild connection in my marriage  ✨ The quiet power I discovered to shift the energy in our relationship  ✨ The ways love lives in the micro-moments, not the milestones  ✨ How facing what’s true—about ourselves and each other—opens the door to new possibilities Even if you’re not married, this episode is about something universal: the small steps we can take to reclaim what we most long to experience in any relationship in our lives. 💛 Access the Reflection Guide  🎧 New to the Podcast?

    3. Overcoming the Resistance & Stepping Into the Unknown

    Sometimes the hardest part isn’t knowing what needs to change—it’s moving through the resistance to actually do it. Eight months after my “Not My Dream” moment, I was still stuck in the grind—burned out, afraid, and tangled in resistance. This episode is the turning point between awareness and action—my honest story of overcoming massive resistance, reclaiming my power, and taking that terrifying, yet liberating, next step toward a life that feels more like my own. In this episode, we’ll explore: ✨ Why resistance to change can feel so massive—and why it makes so much sense. ✨ How curiosity, compassion, and community can help loosen its grip. ✨ What it took for me to feel safe enough to take my next step. ✨ The powerful reframe that moved me from fear to freedom.

    2. This Is Not My Dream

    What happens when the life you’ve worked so hard to build no longer feels like yours? In this second episode, I share my “Not My Dream” moment—a quiet metaphorical earthquake that shook the foundation of my life. After years of striving, achieving, and doing everything “right,” I found myself depleted, disconnected, and realizing that the version of success I was living wasn’t truly mine. That realization marked a moment of awakening that would spark my inner revolution—a shift from living by expectation to living by intention, one conscious step at a time. In this episode, we'll explore:✨ The moment I realized this is not my dream—and why that awareness matters.✨ How doing everything “right” can still feel wrong—and what that reveals about alignment. ✨ What Alice Walker’s wisdom on power teaches us about reclaiming choice. ✨ The Change Formula—how discomfort, vision, and one small step can overcome resistance and spark transformation. ✨ Why naming “Not My Dream” can become the first powerful Tipa—an act of awakening and new possibility.  Resources & Links🔗⁠ Link to join our community and receive the Reflection Guides ⁠ 🔗 Link to Episode 1- Step by Step: The Wisdom That Sparked the Tipa Revolution⁠Let’s Connect👉🏾 Say hi on ⁠⁠⁠Youtube ⁠or ⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠👉🏾 Connect with Natalie on ⁠LinkedIn⁠👉🏾 Visit our ⁠⁠website⁠⁠ to ⁠sign up for our newsletter⁠ Credits ✨ Creative Strategy & Pre-Production by: ⁠Mónika of Laancla Creative⁠  ✨ Podcast & Video Post-Production: ⁠Melipona Soundworks⁠  ✨ Production Assistant: ⁠Mala Cabrera⁠  ✨ Music by: Jikela Joy

    1. Step by Step: The Wisdom That Sparked the Tipa Revolution

    What if the wisdom you need to move through life’s hardest moments has been within reach all along?  In this opening episode, I take you back to the day that changed everything—the 2010 Haiti earthquake. Amid the devastation, I witnessed an act of courage that planted the seed for what would become the Tipa Revolution. Through my colleague Paul’s simple, steady steps, I began to understand the power of tipa tipa—step by step—a wisdom that would later carry me through the most profound revolution of my life. This is where it all began: with the truth that step by step isn't just a way through life's hardest moments—it's the only way.  We'll explore: ✨The event that gave rise to the Tipa Revolution and how Paul’s story first brought its wisdom to life. ✨The universal nature of tipa tipa and what it teaches us about moving through uncertainty and overwhelm. ✨How our darkest and hardest experiences often carry the wisdom that strengthens and transforms us. ✨How this wisdom became the foundation for my own small-step revolution—and could be the spark for yours.   Resources & Links🔗⁠ Link to join our community and receive the Reflection Guides ⁠ 🔗 Link to 2014 talk on Tipa Tipa: The Wisdom of Step by Step ⁠ Let’s Connect 👉🏾 Say hi on ⁠⁠⁠Youtube ⁠or ⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠ 👉🏾 Connect with Natalie on ⁠LinkedIn⁠ 👉🏾 Visit our ⁠⁠website⁠⁠ to ⁠sign up for our newsletter⁠ Credits ✨ Creative Strategy & Pre-Production by: ⁠Mónika of Laancla Creative⁠  ✨ Podcast & Video Post-Production: ⁠Melipona Soundworks⁠  ✨ Production Assistant: ⁠Mala Cabrera⁠  ✨ Music by: Jikela Joy
