In Flow with Natalie
In Flow with Natalie (formerly, The Finding Sessions) is my space to share reflections on life, creativity, and presence.
After leaving a busy professional career, I’m now embracing movement, photography, art, and yoga—both as a teacher and a student—as ways to connect more deeply with myself and the world around me.
When I began this podcast, I felt that learning more about myself was like a search for answers ('finding myself')... and wanted to share the journey, but I have come to realize that most of my discoveries have come from taking time (and space) to get to know myself more. I came to realize that most of my discoveries happened when I stopped searching quite so hard, and simply gave myself space to reflect.
Allowing space - finding 'flow', has helped me to make a little more room for life to unfold, and in doing so, I've come to discover far more about myself.
Through personal stories and guided meditations, I hope to offer moments of calm, inspiration, and self-discovery. And ultimately, I hope it offers a few soft moments for you to reflect, maybe feel something that resonates, and perhaps even encourages you to explore something new in your own life.
You can also find my photography and messages of positivity on Instagram @inflowwithnatalie.
My wish for you, always, is to live in positivity, health, and harmony.

#51 A Message for the New Year: Set an Intention-NOT a Resolution
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
As we enter the New Year - 2026, many of us may once again be thinking about whether we should be setting a New Year's Resolution. Something we need to "work on" or change, about our lives, ourselves. But New Year's resolutions often fail, and sometimes this can add to those familiar feelings of beating ourselves up for not achieving, not making the changes we have been convinced into believing we need to make in our lives.
I offer something different for this New Year. Not a resolution, but rather, setting an "Intention". An intention is softer, and it's more like a reminder to ourselves of something that holds value for us - something we choose or wish to carry with us through our day, something personal to us. Not something we are told by the outside world we need to change. In fact, this message for you is NOT about changing YOU, it's about getting to know yourself this year. I offer this - instead of listening to the outside world which tells you maybe that you aren't good enough, successful enough, fit enough - setting yourself up for comparison and self-judgment - I offer you the opportunity to consider turning inward - making this year about YOU! Allow yourself to FEEL! Allow yourself to EXPERIENCE. Allow yourself to BE. Learn about yourself. Listen to the signals your body and your heart are trying to tell you. If you choose to get to know YOU, you may find that you begin to move toward a happier, healthier way of living, living in alignment with who you really are. And that can be transformational.
In the episode that will follow this one, I will be releasing a meditation to guide you through breath and body awareness, to take a few quiet moments to begin to discover you! So subscribe if you want to be notified when that is released. Taking a few moments to become familiar with the experience of just being YOU, being aware of you, may be a start!
I wish you a beautiful and fulfilling year ahead - one filled with discovery and experiences. My wish for you is to live in positivity, health and harmony.
