Former Olympia champion Nathalia Melo tells her story of leaving Brazil with little money to her name, working and living in tough conditions, while working toward her dreams. Nathalia is pure ferocity with minimal filter and a lot of wisdom to challenge the narratives that are keeping you stuck in place. 


Nathalia is today’s guest and shares her thoughts on:

-Overcoming self limiting beliefs and victim mindset

-Why the best time to start is when your life is already busy

-Why people struggle to change their stories and narratives

-How she points to examples of people being successful when they claim they’re “lazy”

-Why the fitness and lifestyle skills you learn in your 20’s may not be the skills you need in your 40’s and onward

-How women suffer when they don’t prioritize their own health and confidence

-And much more
