Welcome to Business Casual. I am Mihae Ahn, your host and author of "The Stories We Tell" and "Perfectly Incomplete".
Business Casual brings you unfiltered conversations with badass, inspiring, highly accomplished women leaders who are changing the game. I am passionate about and believe in the power of sharing stories, our authentic, raw, and incomplete stories, getting beyond the polished LinkedIn profiles to the real humans behind the titles.
My guest today is Natalie Wideman. She is an Olympian and bronze medalist, and a coach, speaker, and entrepreneur. Natalie and her team brought a bronze medal home from the Tokyo Olympics in 2021. They have won many other medals, including a bronze medal from the Women's World Cup in 2024 and a gold medal from the PanAm Games in 2015. They are working towards LA 2028.
Natalie recently founded a company called Unedited Self Co. Her belief and commitment to being her authentic self go without saying.
Some key takeaways from our chat include:
- Authenticity is key to personal and professional growth, and is a beautiful and effective way to inspire others.
- Fear is always going to be with us. We can choose to make it a barrier or a catalyst for growth.
- Celebrating our own achievements, big and small, is so important for self-acceptance and confidence.
"LA 2028. I'm gonna say it until I believe it." This was one of many goosebumps moments during our chat. I absolutely loved it. I'm gonna say it too—for Natalie, for the Canadian women's softball team, and for Team Canada. LA 2028.
Please enjoy my conversation with the one and only Natalie Wideman.
