A typical day as a CEO for Natasha is different every day. She starts her day with meditation or journaling, drinks 1-2 glasses of lemon water, walks or stretches, and eats a large plate of whole fruit. She does not usually take meetings before 10 am and blocks meetings and work time to avoid interruptions when she needs to focus. She generally finishes her day by 4 or 5 pm, but when she is on a deadline or launching something, she may have late evenings. When she needs to unplug from work, she has a self-care plan that is part of her work plan.
Natasha’s favorite books include “The Alchemist,” “Hooked,” “Think and Grow Rich,” “Poke the Box,” and “Steal Like an Artist.” Her favorite movies include “The Color Purple,” “Scarface,” “Wakanda” everything, “Coming to America,” and “Schindler’s List.”
As Natasha continues to build her companies and follow her passion for helping people design the life they want, she remains true to her belief in living life out loud and building authentic connections with her consumers. Her journey is a testament to the power of self-love and self-care in achieving success in both personal and professional life.
