Quitting a 17-Year Corporate Career to Launch a Brand: Natia Ramishvili on Rebuilding From Zero

In this episode of Founder2Founder, Aaron Spivak sits down with Natia Ramishvili, entrepreneur, empowerment coach, and founder of NR Active. Born in the country of Georgia, Natia immigrated to the U.S. as a teenager and built a thriving 17-year career in finance, ultimately overseeing more than 1,000 employees. But after experiencing deep personal loss, a divorce, and a powerful shift in purpose, she left her executive role, moved to Miami, and launched a brand rooted in authenticity and empowerment.

Natia shares how the pain of losing her parents shaped her drive, what it really took to walk away from stability, and how she’s now helping women reconnect with their strength through fashion, mindset, and community. She opens up about creating NR Active, building a fearless brand from scratch, and why confidence is something you create, not something you wait to find. From single motherhood to brand building, Natia’s story is a testament to resilience, intentional living, and owning your worth.
