The Fawcett Report

Journalism, Motherhood, and Grit w/ Natalie Morales

Becky Fawcett Season 1 Episode 6

This one is extra special. I’m sitting down with my friend Natalie Morales (yes, that Natalie Morales) award-winning journalist, CBS News correspondent, 48 Hours contributor, and one of the most genuine people I know.

We go way back, all the way to when helpusadopt.org was a kitchen-table dream, and Natalie was the first person to take a chance on telling our story. Today, we’re turning the tables, and I’m the one asking her the questions. We talk about the real story behind her career — not the LinkedIn version, but the messy, brave, relentless reality of building a life you love. Natalie shares what it’s like to fail early (and why it’s necessary), how motherhood shaped her career choices, and why the best stories are the ones that change you.

This isn’t a highlight reel conversation — it’s real life. It's about hard work, grit, and staying true to what lights you up inside. If you’re chasing a career you love (or wondering if it’s too late to start), trust me: you’re going to want to listen to this one.
