#6 Natalie Costa - starting my own business was a trigger for my imposter
#6 Natalie Costa
In this episode I’m speaking with Natalie Costa, Founder of Power Thoughts.
We were introduced to each other 4 years ago through a mutual friend and despite living at opposite ends of the country have become great friends and business buddies.
Natalie is an award winning coach, speaker, author and founder of Power Thoughts - a coaching service designed to give children ‘power’ over their own thoughts! Through her private practice and workshops, Natalie has helped thousands of children worldwide discover the tools to help them feel calmer, happier and more empowered!
With a background in psychology and having spent 12 years within the educational sector as well as becoming an accredited Performance Coach, Power Thoughts was born - which blends her past experience and deep understanding of children and their needs, now providing them with the tools to cope and thrive in the modern world.
Her intention is to always be focused on helping one child at a time, to be as happy as they can be.
When not working, Natalie enjoys exploring new city running routes with her husband and she’ll never say no to a good cup of coffee and a slice of cake!
Natalie shares how the idea for Power Thoughts came about and shares what she thinks should be included in the curriculum for children
Natalie talks about transitioning from a teacher to running Power Thoughts and how starting her own business was a trigger for her imposter
Natalie also shares that Power Thoughts wasn’t her first idea and how re-training in fitness gave her the confidence to do what she does now.
Natalie talks about her Imposter behaviour type and how that can have you heading for burnout
Natalie also shares through her work she calls the imposter the unwelcomed visitor and has children giving it names such as Mr Buttbrain!
I know I say this every time but I loved this conversation and I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed talking with Natalie.

A podcast with a mission to break the taboo on Imposter Syndrome. It thrives in isolation so it’s time to open up the conversation about this topic and help you realise how widespread it is.
