9 | The cycle of transformation with Natalie Kuhn

“In 2020 we changed because we had to, in 2021, let’s change because we want to.” In this episode, Nadia interviews Natalie Kuhn, one of the founding teachers and VP of Programming for The Class—a workout for the mind, body, and spirit. Natalie discusses the agility that can be discovered by identifying and working with the repeatable seasons of change: awareness, resistance, confrontation, chaos, emergence and arrival.  Though the circumstances may change, the phases of transformation are relatively predictable. Learning to anticipate each phase helps us walk through profound shifts in our lives with agility, openness, and grace.  We also discuss:  How The Class is actively participating in anti-racism work as a wellness company (mentioned: Caste by Isabel Wilkerson)  Natalie opens up about unexpectedly losing her mother, sharing advice for anyone in the initial throes of grief and how she still connects with and honors her mom today  The fallacy of "work-life balance"  The lessons she’s learned being in conscious partnership after years of working on herself first  The Journey: Cycle of Transformation, The Class’s newest 2-day digital retreat where 10 renowned thought leaders guide you through the necessary steps along the path to true change.
