Your host, Natalie, talks to you about her experience with trying to find joy in the every day!


I've pushed myself (and probably others around me) so hard in every aspect of life to build "the dream life". In doing so I've found myself in the constant cycle of wanting more. After the pandemic, we’ve all found ourselves, or at least a very large majority of us, reassessing our lives - are we happy? What do we want? Who do we want to be?


After a serious burn out episode, I found myself questioning every decision I’ve made life-wise and career-wise as I found myself seriously not enjoying the path I was once so adamant on going down. I'm on a mission to live life now and be present in the present.


The places I turned to for support all came from people who have come out the other side. They had been through the journey, come off the rollercoaster and for most part, had put together a paid-for course to get me out the other side too. The Winging It Life podcast explores the different techniques I’ve been trying to put myself back into the direction of happiness! I’m definitely not out the other side and so I’m using this as a bit of a journal to hold myself accountable while letting anyone else that’s in a similar boat know what I’ve been trying and the results I’ve been getting.


My intention is to provide comfort to anyone else in the same situation and perhaps provide a little inspiration to live life to the full. I’m totally winging this - some days I’m great, other days I fall back into similar patterns, but life is a journey right - it’s about discovery not perfect.


Success can mean absolutely anything; the goal is to enjoy the journey.

  • Two Things Can Be True At Once
    Jun 23 2026

    In this episode, I explore one of the biggest mindset shifts I've learned over the last few years: that two things can be true at once.

    You can deeply want something to change and still enjoy your life today. You can be grateful and disappointed, hopeful and frustrated, excited and scared. Using my own experience of infertility, motherhood, and the tendency we all have to postpone happiness until the next milestone, I talk about how I stopped putting my life on hold and started living again.

    If you've ever found yourself saying, "I'll be happy when...", this episode is for you.

  • Pulling Myself Out of a Rut
    May 19 2026

    Episode 2 is a little late because life, illness and motherhood completely took over. After a horrendous week of sickness bugs, tonsillitis and feeling very sorry for myself, I found myself thinking about what actually helps me pull myself out of a rut.


    I talk about the idea from The One Thing, and how sometimes, instead of trying to fix everything at once, we need to focus on the one thing that will help us feel a little better. For me this week, that was raising my vibration, not in a forced “good vibes only” way, but by remembering the tools that help me feel lighter, calmer and more like myself again.


    This episode is about low weeks, losing your footing, and gently coming back to yourself one small shift at a time.

  • 4 years later...
    Apr 21 2026

    Four years ago, I started this podcast in the middle of a really difficult time… and then I disappeared.


    In this episode, I’m sharing why.


    At that point, I’d already been trying for a baby for three years and had hit burnout. I was doing everything I could to feel better, but underneath it all, I was struggling more than I wanted to admit. Not long after my last episode, everything changed. I left my job, started a new one, began IVF, and within weeks, I was pregnant. It all happened so quickly that I chose to step away and process it privately. This episode isn’t just about what happened next — it’s about everything that came before. The burnout, the rebuilding, and the quiet work no one sees. I’m coming back from a very different place, and this podcast is now about navigating the in-between — building a life that feels good now, even while you’re still waiting.


    If that’s where you are, you’re not alone.
