    Ep 6: Untangling with Natasha Knight

    If you have ever taken a class or tried something new just to “find your fun” and then wondered why it keeps pulling at you, this episode will feel familiar. Dr. Natasha Knight did not set out to start a business. With a long career in public health, she signed up for an interior decorating course as a creative outlet. After selling her home, a realtor casually asked who had staged it. The answer was simple. She had. That comment opened the door to exploring whether this talent was something more than a hobby. As Natasha began offering complimentary design sessions, she noticed something deeper happening. It was not just about arranging furniture. It was about how families function in their homes. It was about wellness, dignity, and how environment shapes stress and stability. The conversation slowly expands from staging and DIY updates to bigger questions about trauma-informed spaces, rural community health, affordable housing, and even how her husband’s dream of property management could intersect with her own. What unfolds in this untangling session is not a tidy business plan. It is a widening lens. A creative spark starts to connect with years of experience in health equity and a shared desire to build something meaningful in their North Carolina community. For founders in the earliest stages, this episode mirrors the moment when you realize your side idea might not be random at all. It might be pointing toward a larger vision that ties together your work, your values, and your life. LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/naknightphd/

    Ep 2: Untangling with Kristi Broom, Lotus Transformation Group

    If you’ve ever felt pressure to “just pick one thing,” even though your value shows up in many places, this episode will feel familiar. Kristi Broom describes herself as “unapologetically and.” Throughout her career, she’s stepped into whatever challenge was in front of her, learning by doing and helping people move forward through moments of change. But as she built her own business, that strength started to feel like a liability. With multiple ventures taking shape, she assumed she’d need to choose one path and set the rest aside. In this Untangling Session, Kristi realizes the issue isn’t focus. It’s scope. Her work consistently shows up at a specific stage of a company’s journey, particularly with early-stage tech startups when ideas start carrying real weight. These are the moments when customers need to be managed intentionally, teams are forming beyond friends and family, and founders are shifting from building a product to building a business. The shift isn’t about narrowing herself into a single role. It’s about defining the stage and context where she does her best work, so she can niche down in a way that’s clear, referable, and still true to how she operates. This episode mirrors a core Untangled lesson for founders: clarity doesn’t always come from choosing less. Sometimes it comes from choosing the right scope so the right people know when and why to bring you in.
