This is the conversation about the part most founders don't say out loud: the moment you hit the revenue number and feel nothing. Natalie sits down with Jenna Wright — a Pilates studio owner who built a 7-figure business from $1,000 and an air mattress. From the outside, she'd made it. From the inside, she was running at 9% profit, paying herself $80K a year, and calling it — in her own words — a pretty prison. So she did what most founders won't: she dismantled it on purpose. They go inside the math (she was running $1.2M at 9% profit, paying herself $80K/year), the team mutiny that finally broke the model, and the deliberate revenue cut from $1.2M to $650K that tripled her margin to 30%. If you've ever hit the revenue numbers and felt nothing, this episode is the operating system for what comes next.

In this episode, Natalie sits down with Keren Eldad — coach to some of the world's highest achievers and author of Gilded and the new Gilt Free — to unpack why external success never delivers the safety it promises. Keren shares the three core wounds beneath achievement addiction, the "gilded cage" so many high-achieving women are trapped in, and the surprising income threshold where what you want out of life finally starts to change. You'll learn how to recognize the wound driving your hustle, why "assume everyone likes you" became her most viral piece of advice, and the riptide rule for holding onto success without letting it consume you. If you've ever achieved everything you set out to and quietly wondered why it's still not enough, this episode is the reframe and the way out. Time Stamps:  03:50 The gilded cage: when the shiny life is the trap 07:50 "Yes, we're addicts" — achievement as addiction 15:30 The 3 core wounds behind every overachiever 18:18 The success coach who still spirals when business slows 21:34 The $500K line that changes what you actually want 27:50 "Assume everyone likes you" — the rule that went viral 38:11 The riptide rule for holding onto success 48:28 Why scaling might be the wrong goal entirely 53:46 What real credibility in coaching actually looks like Links & Resources:  Pre-Order The Freedom-Based Business Method.

Most course creators add more channels to scale. Anna Konchar did the opposite and now runs a 7-figure business on 2 days a week. Natalie sits down with Anna Konchar — the funnel strategist behind a 7-figure evergreen course business that runs on 2 days a week while she's home with her three kids. Anna shares the exact mechanics of the evergreen funnel + paid ads engine she's used for eight years, why she cut her podcast and YouTube last year to focus on ONE offer, and how she rebuilt after her payment processor shut down her account overnight. Expect specific numbers, uncomfortable honesty about AI in funnels, and a framework you can test against your own course business this quarter. If you've ever wondered how a course creator can scale to seven figures without launching live, this episode is the operating system.

Ever wondered why every time you reach a new revenue level, the same exhaustion shows up — just dressed differently? In this conversation, Natalie sits down with Julie Santiago — founder of We Are The Women, former Wall Street operator, and one of the rare guests who can break down what high-functioning burnout actually looks like at the 7- and 8-figure mark. Julie walks through the three burnouts that shaped her career: the Wall Street year that put tumors on her ovary at 28, the coaching practice she rebuilt in a San Francisco apartment, and the post-motherhood collapse that brought her to her knees again. The takeaway isn't grit. It isn't quitting. It's something Julie calls evolution and it's the framework most high-achieving women never get taught. This isn't about hustle, balance, or finding your why. It's a brutally honest breakdown of what high-functioning burnout actually looks like at the 7- and 8-figure mark, why the same pattern that builds your success eventually breaks you, and how to evolve past the cycle so you stop ending up in the same place at every new level. Time Stamps: 00:59 The childhood imprint that built an 8-figure business and broke it 05:45 Wall Street, tumors at 28, and the body's verdict 13:10 The 2-path trap: why pushing through OR quitting both fail 20:45 Why clunkiness is a season change, not a failure to optimize 28:40 The match-my-salary moment her therapist shut down 33:22 Safety, surrender, and a new relationship to money 38:18 The metaphor that broke her thinking about money's source 43:30 Going all-in vs. knowing when to evolve Resources + Links: Pre-Order The Freedom-Based Business Method.

Organic content builds your brand. But ads? Ads build your bank. In this episode, Natalie sits down with Brooke Shelton — a former Meta insider who helped train the platform's ad AI and advised advertisers spending hundreds of millions of dollars on Meta. Brooke delivers a full tactical masterclass on running Meta ads with AI: the strategy most founders get wrong, how to build AI agents that create and manage your campaigns, and why the next 9 to 12 months are a rare window to master this before Meta automates it all away. You'll learn the one-campaign, one-ad-set rule that stops you competing against yourself in the ad auction, why creative (not audience targeting) is your only real advantage in 2026, and how Brooke runs her entire business on AI with zero team after 6X-ing her revenue. She also breaks down the difference between an assistant, an agent, and agentic AI, then gives a step-by-step walkthrough for building your very first AI agent today. If you've ever felt like ads are too technical, too expensive, or too overwhelming to touch, this episode is the reframe — and the operating system behind it. And if this conversation lights you up, Natalie and Brooke are taking it live and hands-on at their AI hackathon in New York City on June 10th. All the details are linked below.

In this conversation, Natalie sits down with David Bach — the #1 New York Times best-selling author behind The Automatic Millionaire, with 10 books and over 7 million copies sold across 33 years in finance.

What does it actually take to build a 3M+ personal brand while running a $250M company? In this episode, Natalie sits down with Leila Hormozi - COO of Acquisition.com - to break down the playbook for personal brand: how Leila built one of the top personal brands without making it her full-time job, why deprioritizing content was the move that finally made her brand compound, and the practical content systems (including how she really uses AI) that let her ship without burning out. Expect specific numbers, a counter-discourse case for personal brand in the AI era, and a content "double dip" framework you can install this week. If you've ever wondered whether building a personal brand is even worth it in 2026, or you're a founder trying to figure out how to ship content without it taking over your life, this episode is the operating system.

Most coaches scaling past $300K hit a ceiling and assume they need a higher-ticket offer. Maria Wendt did the opposite and built an 8-figure business selling $24 products. In this conversation, Natalie sits down with Maria Wendt — the founder behind an 8-figure business built on low-ticket products. Maria breaks down how she scaled to near-$1M/months working ~10 hours a week, the front-page checkout architecture that turns $1 orders into $100+ carts at a 60% take rate, why she walked away from the $1M/year coaching model after her daughter was born, and how she scaled to 100K YouTube subscribers in seven months with a webcam and no editor. If you've ever wondered whether low-ticket can actually scale past seven figures — without a higher-ticket offer, a bigger team, or longer hours — this episode is the full operating system.

For so many high-achieving women, intimacy becomes the one area of life that feels stuck, overwhelming, or even like another thing on the to-do list. In this episode, we’re diving into why with licensed sex therapist Vanessa Marin (featured in The New York Times, Oprah, and more) and her husband and co-host Xander Marin. Together, they break down the hidden pressures, perfectionism, and cultural myths that block successful women from experiencing the intimacy they actually want. From navigating the mental load and shifting gender roles to rebuilding desire after dry spells or postpartum, this conversation is equal parts practical and refreshing. Vanessa and Xander share simple tools you can start using right away, like transition rituals, the “Get Intimate” method, and reframing foreplay - so intimacy feels less like work and more like connection. Whether you’re in a season of burnout, carrying the breadwinner role, or just craving more closeness, this episode will help you feel seen and give you realistic steps to reignite your relationship.

Why does resentment creep into the relationships of ambitious women - especially when you feel like you’re “doing it all”?

Why does “one more launch… one more zero… one more goal” never feel like enough? In Part 3 of our 5-part High-Functioning Burnout Exposed series with Awaken the Muse, we’re exploring the perpetual chase - that constant striving for more, even when you’ve already achieved so much. This episode unpacks why accomplishment rarely brings the fulfillment we expect, how cultural conditioning keeps women tying their worth to output, and what it really takes to feel satisfied now instead of always chasing the next milestone.

In the first episode of this series, we unpacked the overwhelm loop.

Why is it that the very habits that drive ambitious women to succeed - the hustle, the long hours, the “I can do it all” mindset - are often the same ones that lead to burnout, anxiety, and resentment? In the first episode of our 5-part series with Awaken the Muse - Natalie, Alexi Panos and Emily Gallagher pull back the curtain on what they call the overwhelm loop - the cycle of urgency, overcommitment, and dysregulation that so many high-achieving women mistake for normal. Together, they share raw stories of postpartum identity shifts, hidden resentment in relationships, and the nervous system patterns that keep us chasing more even when we already feel depleted. You’ll learn what “functional freeze” actually looks like, why capacity can be a mask for self-abandonment, and the micro-practices that help you exhale, reset, and build a more sustainable kind of success. If you’ve ever felt like slowing down means falling behind, this episode will prove the opposite - that nervous system regulation is the real key to growth, profit, and fulfillment.

Feeling overwhelmed by everything on your plate? From client work to admin to endless content creation, it can feel like there’s never enough time in the day.
