139: From Soviet Russia to Transforming Lives with Natalia Worthington

“I believe that the more my clients know I care about them, the more I can nudge them toward success.” – Natalia Worthington



Natalia wasn’t supposed to be here—literally.



As her parents rode a bus to make a life-altering decision, her father had a change of heart. That choice sparked a life defined by curiosity, compassion, & quiet rebellion.



Born in Soviet Russia, she came of age in a system that crushed curiosity & rewarded obedience. But at home, things were different. Her father, an English professor, championed critical thinking & lifelong learning—lessons that would one day save her.



Years later, as a young mom in a new country, Natalia battled isolation, depression, & weight gain.



But instead of giving in, she channeled her hunger to learn & took control of her story. She healed—& then made it her mission to help others do the same.



Today, Natalia helps clients thrive in six areas of deep health—from fitness to purpose. Her goal isn’t just a workout. It’s total transformation.

Arthur Ashe once said, “Start where you are. Use what you have. Do what you can.”



Natalia did just that.
