    Walk With Me: What if Discomfort Is Good For You?

    What if the uncertainty and discomfort you've been avoiding is actually essential to your vitality and your health? That's the idea I couldn't stop thinking about on my morning walk around Boston. And then I found the research that backs it up. In this Walk With Me episode, I share what psychologists call vitality — that state of being energized, resilient, and fully alive — and the science that shows the most direct path to it isn't comfort or stability. It's doing things that are genuinely challenging and uncertain. (NOTE: I was walking too fast and did not name one of the scientists whose research on vitality I referred to. His name is Moshe Bar -- you can learn more about him and his work here.) This one will completely reframe how you think about the change and stress you're navigating right now. Your dare: the next time change brings stress and doubt, don't take it as a signal something is wrong. Ask yourself — what is this change inviting me to do in order to grow and evolve? 💥 Download my free From Stuck to Sparked guide: https://www.natalykogan.com/from-stuck-to-sparked-guide-download 🚀 Ready to unleash what's next? https://www.natalykogan.com/unleash-your-next ✨ Work with me: natalykogan.com 📚 Books & Journals: natalykogan.com/books 💛 Loving the show?

    The Audacity of Starting: Risk, Marriage & Building a Business at 24

    What if the riskiest thing you can do isn't starting something new but standing still? At 24, my husband Avi and I launched a publishing company from a 600-square-foot illegal sublet in New York City.  We both had full-time jobs, zero publishing experience, and one idea I came home with after jury duty. We called it NataviGuides, competed with the biggest publishing houses in the world, and figured out everything — printing, distribution, sales — as we went. In this conversation, Avi and I look back 25 years later at what that audacious, messy, wonderful adventure actually taught us. About starting before you feel ready, building something hard inside a marriage, knowing when it's time to let go, and why the person you become by doing the hard thing matters more than any outcome. If you've been sitting on an idea waiting for the right moment, the right plan, or enough experience, this episode is your reminder  to stop waiting and start moving. Your dare this week: What's one "unreasonable" idea you've been dismissing? Identify one step toward it and take it today. 🎥 Watch on YouTube: https://youtu.be/pb3jtLHFzt0 💥 Free From Stuck to Sparked guide: https://www.natalykogan.com/from-stuck-to-sparked-guide-download  🚀 Ready to build your next chapter: https://www.natalykogan.com/unleash-your-next  ✨ Work with Nataly: natalykogan.com  📚 Books & Journals: natalykogan.com/books  💛 Loving the show?

    Walk With Me: Scared and Excited — Your Inner Compass for Change

    Fear isn't a stop sign. It's your brain doing exactly what it's designed to do. And once you understand why it shows up every single time you're on the threshold of something new, you stop letting it run the show. In this first Walk With Me episode — an unedited, unfiltered series recorded live on Nataly's morning walks — she gets into how your brain works as a prediction machine, why breaking a pattern triggers fear every single time, and how to give your brain something powerful enough to move toward instead of just away from the unknown. The real signal you're looking for isn't fearlessness. It's the magic combination of scared and excited — and once you know how to use it as your inner compass, everything changes. Your dare this week: tell yourself the truth about the one thing that keeps quietly pulling at you — the thing you've been dismissing because of fear or doubt. And if it's scary and excited? Take one tiny step toward it. 💥 Download my free From Stuck to Sparked guide: www.natalykogan.com/from-stuck-to-sparked-guide-download 🚀 Ready to unleash what's next? www.natalykogan.com/unleash-your-next ✨ Work with me: natalykogan.com 📚 Books & Journals: www.natalykogan.com/books 💛 Loving the show?

    The In-Between Space: Why Feeling Like Goo Means You're Evolving

    That heavy, molasses feeling when you're no longer who you were but not yet who you're becoming?  You’re not stuck. You’re in the In-Between Space — and it's exactly where reinvention begins. In this episode I'm getting honest about the messy middle of reinvention, why you can't think your way into your next chapter, and the one tiny move that shifts everything. Your dare this week: find the one area of your life that feels like molasses and make one move today. 🎥 Watch this episode on YouTube: https://youtu.be/76Zw1wxhIRE 💥 Download my free From Stuck to Sparked guide: https://www.natalykogan.com/from-stuck-to-sparked-guide-download 🚀 Ready to unleash what's next? https://www.natalykogan.com/unleash-your-next ✨ Work with me: natalykogan.com  📚 Books & Journals: https://www.natalykogan.com/books 💛Loving the show?

    #53 Beginning a new chapter -- for you and for this podcast

    Most change doesn’t come with a plan — it starts with a feeling that something needs to shift.  In this episode, I talk about how small steps create clarity and tell my favorite story about Steve Jobs and a calligraphy class that changed the course of his life and led to the founding of Apple. I also give a sneak peek of what’s next for the podcast itself and how following my own whisper is leading to an exciting new evolution.

    #52 My Biggest Dare Yet: How Small Bold Steps Spark Big Change

    This week, I share one of the biggest dares I’ve ever taken — opening my art studio to the public for the very first time. I talk about what happened, what I learned, and how the Dare Yourself movement was born from that moment. If you’ve ever kept a dream to yourself, this episode will remind you why your dreams need witnesses — and how daring yourself to take action can change everything.

    #51 A Surprising Way to Make Hard Decisions Easier

    In this episode, I share a surprising yet powerful technique to help you make tough decisions with more clarity and confidence: checking in with your future self. Instead of getting stuck in overthinking or weighed down by your brain’s negativity bias, imagining yourself a year from now can shift your perspective and reveal the choice that truly aligns with your values and vision. We’ll explore why your brain is wired to focus on fear and obstacles, how connecting to your future self helps you break free from that bias, and the simple question that can cut through confusion in the moment. If you’re standing at a crossroads—whether in your career, creativity, or personal life—this episode will give you a practical tool to move forward with courage, clarity, and trust in your path.
