EP 37 Natalie Taylor: Homelessness to Transformational Coach

---

How do people rise above their  difficult circumstances and build a better life for themselves? My guest  today, Natalie Taylor, is sharing how she did it and her journey to  overcome. She went from being homeless at age 14 while living in Jamaica  to graduating from college in the United States to working on Wall  Street. And her struggles did not end there. She continued dealing with  the negative effects of her past until she realized that she needed to  change her mindset. Now she is paying it forward by helping others who  feel stuck in their lives. Her story is beyond incredible and perfectly  defines the power of a mindset shift.

Natalie is a Life Architect  and Transformational Coach who has fought with imposter syndrome her  entire life along with the thought that she was undeserving of the  success she was creating. She's on a mission to help women succeed in  their financial lives, experience positive self-worth, and build  confidence. 

Notable Quotes:

“I didn’t understand that you can create a space within you to experience joy.”

“Two  ways people deal with their upbringing is either run towards it or run  away from it. Either way, they still have to deal with it.”

In this episode, you will hear:

- Natalie’s transformational story from being homeless to becoming a transformational coach

- How she dealt with imposter syndrome and what it looked like for her

- The importance of mindset and how she helps others transform their lives through a shifting their own

With the recent loss of Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, I am honored to have two people on the show who are very much in alignment with her fight for gender equality. Andie Kramer and Al Harris are gender bias experts who have spent the past 30 years combating gender bias through writing, speaking and mentoring. We are talking today about the ways in which women experience bias in the workplace and how these biases hinder their advancement and compensation in their careers. You will hear what choices and changes need to occur for our country to make progress in gender equality and racial equality as well.

Andie and Al are the co-authors of two award-winning books: Breaking Through Bias: Communication Techniques for Women to Succeed at Work and It’s Not You, It’s the Workplace: Women’s Conflict at Work and the Bias That Built It. Andie and Al’s writing on communication strategies and gender biases have been widely featured, including in HBR.org, The Huffington Post, The New York Times, and The Chicago Tribune. Andie is also a contributing writer for Forbes.com. Together and separately, Andie and Al speak and lead workshops across the country to help women, men, and organizations overcome the negative effects of gender bias and build healthier, more productive workplaces.

“Implicit bias is still a problem and that's what we focus on in our work.”

“We need a new approach. We need a new way of attacking gender bias. And that new approach involves not telling people NOT to be biased but it involves finding ways to interrupt biases from career affecting decisions.”

In this episode, you will hear:

- The difference between explicit and implicit bias and how to tell the difference

- What women, men, and organizations can do to decrease gender bias 

- Andie and Al’s choice to write two books and fight for gender equality
