Transcript

In this episode of Mothers and Daughters Unfiltered, listeners get to know Natalie better. Natalie begins the conversation by describing her morning meditation practice, which includes sun salutations, journaling, and meditation. She places a focus on gratitude and being in the moment, and has found that meditation has deeply impacted her life. Diane and Natalie discuss why they are doing the podcast, as well as the relationship between mother and daughter in relation to vulnerability and honesty. They are both passionate about women coming together, learning from one another, and forming a community. They share their seven Cs: community, collaboration, compassion, courage, civility, curiosity, and candid conversation. Natalie details her experiences with compassion, courage, and curiosity. In a touching moment, she reveals the biggest lesson she has learned from her mother: that she can do anything she puts her heart and mind to. Finally, Natalie shares how she plans to own, feel, and live her finances in the upcoming year.
