Few things feel as exciting as creating a business around the things we use in our own lives, and sometimes, our coping mechanisms can turn into professional ventures.   How can we turn something like meditation for stress alleviation into a business, so we can use what's helped us to assist countless others? How can we fall in love with our daily practices enough to promote them?   In this episode, CEO of Expectful, Nathalie Walton shares how she became the co-founder of a business that helped her through her difficult pregnancy.  3 Things You'll Learn in This Episode   How to develop a regular meditation practice Most of us have heard about the benefits of meditation, but how can we find the time (and the willpower!) to get started?    How stress impacts fertility What can we do to reduce the effects stress has on our reproductive systems?    How to get started with hypnobirthing What is hypnobirthing, and how can we more women start using it in their own birth plans?   Guest Bio-  Nathalie Walton is the CEO and Co-Founder of Expectful, the number one go-to wellness app for women and growing families. While she was working at some of the world's most admired companies, Airbnb, Google, and eBay, she was always on a constant search for deeper fulfillment. This search launched a self-discovery process that resulted in the cultivation of a wellness & mindfulness practice; Nathalie began meditating and practicing yoga daily, became mindful of her eating, and read incessantly about finding purpose. Not long after, she became pregnant and discovered that she was at high risk for placental challenges in the second half of her pregnancy. She went from an uneventful pregnancy to a high-stress pregnancy where every day she worried about her baby's survival. During her third trimester, she saw an ad for Expectful, which was not only life-changing but the next step into her future. Within a week of diving into the meditations and deeping her hypnobirthing practice, her condition managed to stabilize and she made it to term.    After becoming familiar with Expectful, she soon met Mark Krassner, who was looking for the right person to succeed him as CEO/Co-Founder. As a user, a new mother, a longstanding wellness enthusiast, and the person who built the roadmap for scaling Google's Local Commerce offerings, this was the perfect opportunity for Nathalie.    Nathalie knew that she was passionate about the prospect of making Expectful available to every pregnant woman, especially those whose doctors hadn't offered them the support and resources they could be utilizing.    Since becoming CEO, Nathalie has raised over $4M for Expectful. As Expectful's CEO, as of September 2020, Nathalie's mission is to solve the wellbeing crisis facing the 21 million women in the U.S. who are new parents, pregnant, or aspiring to conceive.   To find out more, go to:  https://expectful.com/  https://www.instagram.com/expectful/  https://www.instagram.com/nathaliewalton/

39. Nathalie Walton - Expectful “One of the ways that we're generous is, is by holding the space to have those conversations because people need to have those difficult conversations…I think we're most generous when we listen to our users and provide an avenue to have conversations about things where people just aren't having conversations about.”   Guest Info: Nathalie is the CEO of Expectful, the #1 meditation and sleep platform for expecting and new parents.  Nathalie was introduced to meditation in 2002 during a visit to a Buddhist Ashram in Thailand.  She participated in a three-day silent meditation retreat where she was introduced to meditation.  Her at-risk pregnancy led her to download Expectful.  Weeks after delivering her son, Everett, she took an advisory role at Expectful and eventually was offered the CEO role by the founder, Mark Krassner. She has spent the last decade in leadership roles at Airbnb, Google, and eBay. Nathalie has an MBA from the Stanford Graduate School of Business and B.A. in Economics from Georgetown University.  Nathalie lives in San Francisco with her husband, Max, and their one-year old son, Everett.    Favorite Quote: "It is not that we have a short time to live, but that we waste a lot of it. Life is long enough, and a sufficiently generous amount has been given to us for the highest achievements if it were all well invested. But when it is wasted in heedless luxury and spent on no good activity, we are forced at last by death's final constraint to realize that it has passed away before we knew it was passing. So it is: we are not given a short life but we make it short, and we are not ill-supplied but wasteful of it… Life is long if you know how to use it." — Seneca Resources: Nathalie on Twitter (@NathalieGWalton) Expectful.com Expectful on Instagram (@Expectful) The Extreme Work Life Balance of Being a Woman Business Leader During Covid-19 Expectful's New Chief Executive Experienced the Trauma She Just Raised Millions to Solve Birthing While Black Bedtime Ritual Tips SleepDiplomat.com Credits: Nathalie Walton, Expectful.

Mark Krassner is the founder and CEO of Expectful, the meditation app for fertility, pregnancy, and parenthood. Since its founding, Expectful has partnered with several universities to conduct research on the relationship between a mother’s mind and her baby’s health.

We discuss how he came to his own meditation practice in his 20’s and how it pivoted his career from an entrepreneur into a social entrepreneur. "As my health, happiness, relationships, and professional life improved significantly, I recalled my mother’s struggles with anxiety and depression when she was raising me, and I wondered if meditation might be an especially great tool for new moms."

Show Notes: SatoriPrime.com/54 “When I look at all of the people who found deep purpose in their life, it started with deep work.” - Mark Krassner (click to tweet) It’s hard to believe it, but your emotions during pregnancy can have a long lasting effect on your unborn child. Science has shown that mother experiencing high levels of stress and anxiety can end up passing emotional and physical disorders onto their children - such as ADHD and depression. Luckily research has shown that there’s a fairly simple way to fix this problem. The answer is through meditation. It’s not just something that will help the child though, proper meditation during and after the pregnancy has been proven to help with postpartum depression. Believe it or not, there’s an app for this. Expectful was created to help mothers have healthier and happier children right away. This isn’t just from an eastern philosophy or a spiritual outlook. There’s a ton of studies and science behind this. So much so that many western doctors are suggesting that expecting mothers start to meditating throughout their pregnancy - and after. On this episode of Have It All we are joined by Expectful’s creator, Mark Krassner. Mark gives great insight, not only on how an expecting mother can help her unborn child, but what it’s like to start a business from something that didn’t have much research behind it when he started. He’s changed the way science views the emotional importance of a mother and the struggles that come along with changing a society's mindset. Download this episode to learn why you can’t give up, especially when society challenges you. When there’s a suggestion it allows the mind to drop into deeper levels than it will with a command. (click to tweet) The Cliff Notes: High levels of stress can affect a woman’s pregnancy. Expectful is about the science behind maternal meditation, not spirituality. Western doctors are getting behind expecting women meditating. What happens emotionally with a woman can completely reprogram the child’s epigenome. Postpartum depression can be helped with meditation. Giving your mind a command isn’t as impactful as giving it a suggestion. We tend to look ten steps ahead and miss what’s right in front of us. There’s no option to stop and turn around. No matter what happens, you’re going to go through this. There’s a million times where it make more sense to quit than to keep going, but only the most successful people keep moving forward. Your level of commitment isn’t just what gets you through the tough times, it’s also what gets other people rallied in the cause. If you aren’t feeling fulfilled, you’re on the wrong path. Don’t be afraid to move on to something new. Don’t listen to what’s going on in your head, follow your feelings. The people we admire most are those who went against what people expected of them. Everyone is making a big impact by being here, one way or another. Your job here is to follow your passion. “People can feel your level of commitment to something. When you’re building something you need people to believe in you.” (click to tweet) Links: Mark’s Twitter Expectful’s Website Expectful on iTunes Learn more about your ad choices.
