Resilience doesn’t always come from big wins. Sometimes it’s forged in the moments where everything feels like it’s falling apart, and you show up anyway.
Natalie Jade Pinnell knows what it’s like to be at full capacity. Running a business, raising a family, and fighting a broken system that’s failing her daughter. Most people would crumble. Natalie chose a different path.In this unfiltered conversation, James Fleming digs deep with Natalie on what it takes to show up in life and business when every part of you wants to quit. They talk about resilience, mission, the myth of the silver bullet and what happens when success starts to feel like a prison.
Natalie doesn’t just work with entrepreneurs, she helps them cut through the noise, break the rules, and build businesses that actually align with the lives they want to live. She’s done it herself, more than once. And now she’s showing others how to stop playing by someone else’s formula.
This episode will hit home for the founders burning out while chasing other people’s version of success. It’s also a must-listen for anyone feeling stuck, stretched, or silenced.
