Chat with Nat - Conversations that Count
Welcome to Chat with Nat: Conversations that Count, hosted by Natalie Kime. This is not just another podcast, it is a space where real life meets real talk.
Each week, Natalie dives into the five pillars that shape our lives: faith, family, finance, fitness, and fun. From navigating money with confidence to finding strength in faith, from caring for loved ones to prioritizing your own health, and from meaningful connections to moments of pure laughter, these are the conversations that truly matter.
Think of it as pulling up a chair with a good friend over coffee. Natalie brings personal stories, practical wisdom, and inspiring guests to help you feel encouraged, empowered, and equipped to take the next small step in your journey.
At the end of the day, wealth is not just measured in dollars. It is measured in joy, purpose, and the legacy we create.
If you are ready for authentic stories, honest insights, and conversations that leave you both inspired and smiling, you are in the right place. Welcome to Chat with Nat.
