The Winging It Life Podcast: Recent Episodes
Natalie Tester
Your host, Natalie, talks to you about her experience with trying to find joy in the every day!
I've pushed myself (and probably others around me) so hard in every aspect of life to build "the dream life". In doing so I've found myself in the constant cycle of wanting more. After the pandemic, we’ve all found ourselves, or at least a very large majority of us, reassessing our lives - are we happy? What do we want? Who do we want to be?
After a serious burn out episode, I found myself questioning every decision I’ve made life-wise and career-wise as I found myself seriously not enjoying the path I was once so adamant on going down. I'm on a mission to live life now and be present in the present.
The places I turned to for support all came from people who have come out the other side. They had been through the journey, come off the rollercoaster and for most part, had put together a paid-for course to get me out the other side too. The Winging It Life podcast explores the different techniques I’ve been trying to put myself back into the direction of happiness! I’m definitely not out the other side and so I’m using this as a bit of a journal to hold myself accountable while letting anyone else that’s in a similar boat know what I’ve been trying and the results I’ve been getting.
My intention is to provide comfort to anyone else in the same situation and perhaps provide a little inspiration to live life to the full. I’m totally winging this - some days I’m great, other days I fall back into similar patterns, but life is a journey right - it’s about discovery not perfect.
Success can mean absolutely anything; the goal is to enjoy the journey.
I had a revelation this week! I came face to face with a narrative i've been telling myself my whole life, which has impacted how i've acted around people and dictated actions I've taken for YEARS - I'm talking like 15 years. I've no idea where this story came from, or when I started telling it to myself, but through realising what it is, I've been able to process it, accept it, thank it and choose again. I'm now on a path to create a new story, a more positive story, the story that brings the life I want to life.
This episode is a bit of a ramble, it's quite fertility focused (mainly because that's what my limiting belief is around) but hopefully it will help you come face-to-face with that blockage or limiting story you've been telling yourself.
Follow me on @wingingit_pod - tell me about your limiting beliefs and what you're doing to choose again!! x
In today's podcast I was inspired by a quote from the 'One Thing' by Gary Keller...
"If we're not careful, we wind up ricocheting from achieving and acquiring to acquiring and achieving without ever taking time to fully enjoy any of it".
I FEEL SEEN
And so in today's podcast, I explore how this has been the story and cycle in my life, and I look to my 10 year old self for a bit of help in breaking this cycle - just continuing my journey to be present in the present and appreciate what I have.
If you are stuck in this "what's next? What's next? What's next?" cycle, give it a listen.
Let me know what you think x
In this week's episode look at my experience with the law of attraction and how it's really helped me to not feel the weight of the world on my shoulder. I talk about the risk that comes with it, such as toxic positivity, and how I use some of the practises I've learned in The Magic and applied to some tricky situations! Some day soon I'll talk about some of the cool things that I've manifested. Hope you enjoy x

This podcast episode is inspired by an instagram post that actually sums up beautifully a lot of the information I've been reading in my search for being present in the present. I've always enjoyed changes - a different hairstyle, job, house, postcode in London - but when I looked a little deeper during the work I've been doing on myself, I actually realised I was making a lot of the same changes and falling continuously into a cycle. In this podcast I reflect on a decision I've made very recently in relation to my job and work/life balance in the hope to break this cycle.
Hope it's not a big ramble. Enjoy x
As with anything, setting out goals and understanding what it is you actually want, helps you to define if you're succeeding or getting anywhere. It also helps you to identify what you don't want and what you need to move away from. Recently I've been reading a lot of books about understanding what success is in your life, and how to go about finding your life's purpose - which, for me, was a great place to start when I was questioning everything about the decisions I'd made in life!!
So this episode explores some of the things I've been doing to discover what it is I actually want and what it is that actually will make me happy in the now.
Enjoy x
Constantly saying the sentence..."I'll be happy when..."
That's been me for as long as I can remember. I've pushed myself so hard in every aspect of life to build "the dream life" and in doing so I've found myself in the constant cycle of wanting more. I'm on a mission to live life now and be present in the present. Hear a little about my journey, where I am and where I want to go.
I'm on a journey that's questioning everything i've believed and worked for up until now. It's a rollercoaster. If that sounds like you, listen along and join me!
