In this vibrant journey called life, we often encounter moments of struggle and triumph, darkness and light. On today's episode, we welcome the enlightening Nataly Kogan, a beacon of hope and a guide toward finding happiness and fulfillment. Nataly, once entrenched in the shadows of unhappiness and burnout, now dedicates her life to helping others discover the joy within themselves.Born in Russia, Nataly's early life was a tapestry of struggle and resilience. Her family fled as refugees to the United States, bringing only a few suitcases and a couple of hundred dollars. The transition was challenging, filled with cultural barriers and the sting of alienation. Nataly candidly shares, "I grew up where struggle and suffering were elevated to godly status. My natural inclination was to see life as a constant struggle." Despite these early hardships, Nataly's journey led her to a profound realization: happiness is not found in external achievements, but within ourselves.Nataly Kogan's transformative journey began in the depths of burnout. She describes this period as a time when her "flame went out," leading her to seek help from a spiritual teacher. This pivotal moment marked the beginning of her quest for inner peace and emotional fitness. Nataly's path was not a straightforward one; it was filled with stumbles and sideways movements, as she humorously recalls Googling "how to be more spiritual" and discovering the teachings of Ram Dass. This exploration opened her eyes to the importance of looking within for happiness, rather than constantly chasing external validation.In our conversation, Nataly emphasizes the significance of emotional fitness, which she defines as creating a more supportive relationship with our thoughts, emotions, and others. She draws a parallel to physical fitness, explaining that just as we train our bodies, we must also train our minds. "Your brain is mostly concerned with your survival, not your happiness," she notes. This understanding is crucial in shifting our focus from external achievements to internal well-being.Nataly's insights into the human condition resonate deeply with the universal quest for happiness. Her journey from struggle to self-discovery is a testament to the power of looking within and embracing our true selves. She challenges us to shift our focus from external achievements to internal fulfillment, reminding us that we are enough just as we are.SPIRITUAL TAKEAWAYSSelf-Acceptance as the Foundation of Happiness: Nataly teaches us that happiness begins with being at peace with ourselves. This doesn't mean we stop striving for improvement; rather, it means we approach life from a place of self-love and respect.The Power of Self-Compassion: We often treat ourselves harsher than we would a friend. By practicing self-compassion, acknowledging our mistakes, and supporting ourselves through them, we can reduce suffering and motivate ourselves to keep moving forward.Reframing Our Thoughts: Nataly encourages us to view our brains as scared children rather than adversaries. By understanding that our negative thoughts stem from fear, we can better manage and redirect them toward more productive outcomes.In conclusion, Nataly's story is a beacon of light for anyone seeking happiness and emotional fitness. She inspires us to embrace our unique journeys, cultivate self-compassion, and find peace within ourselves. As we part ways with today's episode, let us carry forward the wisdom and insights shared by this remarkable guest.Please enjoy my conversation with Nataly Kogan.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/next-level-soul-podcast-with-alex-ferrari--4858435/support.

“You can't give what you don't have.” That's just one of the powerful lessons that Nataly Kogan learned the hard way seven years ago, after suffering a debilitating phase of burnout. As a former refugee from the former Soviet Union, she began her American journey in the projects and on welfare, then going on to build an impressive career as a finance and tech executive and serial entrepreneur over the next 25 years. Until she crashed at thirty-eight years old and needed to find a new way of moving forward. Today we're talking about how she got through that tough burnout period, the ways she practices putting her full self into the world, why it's never too late to start something new, and how to drop the self-care guilt when filling your own energy reserves.

 In this episode I speak to Nataly Kogan, CEO of Happier, host of the "Awesome Human Podcast," and author of "The Awesome Human Project," whose wakeup call was being driven as a Russian refugee to succeed and becoming successful in the corporate world only to discover that she was burned out. https://natalykogan.com/

Welcome to the What's Next! podcast with Tiffani Bova. We were lucky to find the awesome human Nataly Kogan and invite her on the What's Next! Podcast to discuss emotional fitness and how to find inner happiness. She is the author of multiple books, most recently The Awesome Human Project: Break Free from Daily Burnout, Struggle Less, and Thrive More in Work and Life which helps people learn how to rest and feel more joy. A leading expert on emotional fitness, Nataly Kogan is an entrepreneur, best-selling author, and keynote speaker on a mission to help millions of people struggle less and thrive more in work and life. Nataly immigrated to the US as a refugee from the former Soviet Union when she was 13 years old. Starting her American life in the projects and on welfare, she went on to reach the highest levels of corporate and startup success. But after years of chasing a non-existent state of nirvana she suffered a debilitating burnout that led her to find a new way to live and work. Today, she helps Awesome Humans live and work with more connection, joy, and meaning by sharing her science-backed skills and practices.   THIS EPISODE IS PERFECT FOR…  all levels of workers that are suffering from unprecedented levels of burnout and are seeking a means to break free from the cycle.   TODAY'S MAIN MESSAGE… The best way to learn how to care about others is to first learn how to care for yourself. But sometimes our brain is hardwired for uncertainty, so we must become the editor of our own thoughts and have the mindset for self-compassion. That means learning to take a break for a restorative rest so we can focus on what's truly meaningful to us.   WHAT I LOVE MOST… Nataly's core belief is that we are all awesome humans who have goals and purpose and meaning in their lives. But also, some days we don't have that awesomeness and we are just human – that's okay too.     Running time: 31:02   Subscribe on iTunes     Find Tiffani on social: Facebook Twitter LinkedIn   Find Nataly online: Official Website Twitter LinkedIn   Nataly's Book: The Awesome Human Project: Break Free from Daily Burnout, Struggle Less, and Thrive More in Work and Life

In today's episode, we cover being an awesome human with Nataly Kogan. Nataly is a former writer for Verywell Mind, the co-founder and CEO of Happier, a leading wellness company on a mission to make millions of people happier, and the author of The Awesome Human Project. Burnout can be a deadly trap you don't recognize until the damage is done, so what can you do to avoid it (and still be successful), how does perfectionism make it worse, and how do you find your “why” so you can push through tough times and criticism?  What to Listen ForIntroduction – 0:00What are some obvious signs of burnout?What is the biggest lie entrepreneurs and leaders tell themselves to keep pushing through burn out? Be an Awesome Human – 12:47 How do you edit your thoughts to help you be the best version of yourself?What two questions can you ask yourself to edit your thoughts and stop your mind from sabotaging your work, relationships, and goals?What does it mean to treat yourself with compassion and why do we ALL need to treat ourselves with more compassion? Perfectionism is the Enemy of Completion – 31:00 How can you reframe perfectionism so it doesn't stop you from finishing what you start and putting your work out there for others to enjoy?Why is it detrimental to your success to value every piece of criticism you receive? Find your “why” and flourish in any job – 41:31 Why is it important to know your “why” when it comes to long term success and fulfillment in any line of work?What is emotional fitness, why is it just as important as physical fitness, and how do you develop it? It's easy to undervalue our physical and mental needs when pursuing ambitious goals. You can get lost in devoting countless hours to building a company and push aside physical exercise because it takes time away from the company. You can get lost in spending all of your free time at the gym and push aside quality sleep because “sleep is for the weak.” But we tend to forget the only reason we can do any of these things is because we have one precious life to work with.  A Word From Our SponsorsDo you LOVE the toolbox episodes?
