In the very first guest episode of Chat with Nat, host Natalie Kime welcomes Julie DeLucca-Collins, founder of Go Confidently Services, and her husband Dan Collins, co-founder of Casa De Confidence Productions.

Julie shares her leap from corporate executive to entrepreneur after a pandemic layoff, and Dan reveals what it’s like to support and build alongside her. Together they talk about confidence, partnership, radical candor, and what it really takes to grow a business and a relationship that lasts.

Expect plenty of warmth, candid insights, and encouragement to take bold steps toward your dreams—even if you have to “do it scared.”

What you’ll hear in this episode:

  • Julie’s story of transition from corporate to entrepreneurship
  • How COVID-19 opened the door for reinvention
  • Why empowering women creates ripple effects in families and communities
  • Radical candor and compassion in business and relationships
  • The role of support systems and “believing mirrors”
  • Why small, imperfect steps are the key to building confidence
  • The rewards (and real talk) of working with your spouse
