Natalie Moore - quitting her job and heading to Madagascar for 6 weeks on a marine conservation program! The ending of a bad relationship was the catalyst for Natalie taking back control of her life. Her first step was to sell the joint house, quit her job, and go to Madagascar for six weeks, where she volunteered in a marine conservation program. Since then, she's been pushing herself and her boundaries further and further, and completed her first ultra and multi day race in June. She's not fast, but she's determined.  Words from Natalie,  “I've been a long time listener of the podcast, and started supporting it almost after the first episode I listened to. It was so inspiring to me to hear about women doing amazing things, and I love knowing that we're all out there, doing them, even if it doesn't make the news, or the magazines.  My happiness and my confidence have increased so much, and whenever I feel a bit of a wobble, I remember that if all these other amazing women can push themselves and achieve amazing things, I can at least try.” Show notes  How she first heard about the tough girl podcast Finding out more about Natalie  How sports and exercise played apart in her life Deciding to do her first triathlon  Progressing in the triathlon Being terrible at training  Deciding to focus on running Not getting the fear Having a challenging 2018 Deciding to leave her relationship and quit her job Not realising she wasn’t herself anymore Heading off to Madagascar for 6 weeks Having thinking time and time to reflect on life Letting go of time and getting a sense of calm The episodes which have resonated - Polly Vacher &amp; Richelle Olsen Not comparing herself with anyone else Advice for other women and why you need to believe in yourself What’s next…. and wanting to get back into triathlons or maybe an ultra… Advice and tips for training needed!!!!
