Ep. 17. Healing Isn’t Always Pretty—But It’s Always Worth It with Natalie Damiano

🎙️ Healing Isn’t Always Pretty—But It’s Always Worth It with Natalie Damiano

What if the real glow-up didn’t come from a vision board—but from hitting rock bottom and choosing to rebuild?

In this deeply resonant episode, Kat sits down with her business bestie and soulful powerhouse, Natalie Damiano. Natalie is a certified coach, speaker, host of the Part of the Solution podcast, and a woman who has walked through the fire of addiction and come out radiating alignment, honesty, and strength.

This one goes beyond the highlight reel. We dive into what it actually looks like to regulate your nervous system, integrate real-life healing tools, and build a life you don’t need to escape from. Think: breathwork, strength training, sobriety, and deep emotional honesty—all served with a dose of sarcasm and soul.

🔥 IN THIS EPISODE, YOU’LL LEARN:

  • Why healing gets messier—and more powerful—with age

  • How breathwork cracked Kat open (and what it unlocked)

  • The role of nervous system work in sustainable transformation

  • How to know when it’s time to evolve, rebrand, or start over

  • Why safe, soft friendships are the new standard

  • How to stop outsourcing your healing and start owning your growth

⚡ MAIN CHARACTER MOVE:

Ask yourself: “What would I regret not doing?” Then get radically honest about your next move—no fluff, no waiting.

🌟 KEY TAKEAWAYS:

  • You don’t need permission to heal. You need honesty, action, and community.

  • Real growth is not aesthetic. It’s messy, daily, and deeply freeing.

  • If you’ve hit a rock bottom—it’s not the end. It’s a rebirth.

  • Safe friendships are soul fuel. Choose women who hold you, not compete with you.

  • Your life doesn’t need to be perfect to be powerful.
