On Zoom. Part of our membership in Kae Wagner’s Bold Author Network. Kae has been working with self-published authors weekly, transforming, teaching, elevating, and inspiring. I was inspired by Natalie as well. Her authorship of a children's book that I read to my grandchildren at Halloween. ‘The Bumpy Pumpkin.’ First time ever, “Grandpa, read it again.” Two weeks ago, we chatted on Zoom. Her depth, brilliance, and day job, versatility, and best-selling, award-winning children’s book author. And I didn’t expect it; Natalie has 20 years of experience in health care. I love cardiologists. Keeps me ticking. She’s an exec at a prominent cardiac center. Works to broadly improve cardiac care. She ran the operating room, too. And she created a character inspired by her real-life farm companion, ’Goat on the Go’ Series. Natalie is about friendship, resilience, and emotional growth in children. It’s in her words and spirit. Her father encouraged her to become a nurse. Her mother is a nurse. And with that energy, she became. But she always wanted to write a children’s book. She exudes that caring. As I wound down, I asked her who she’d like to spend a day with. “Meryl Streep” I told her I did that already and was in a movie with Meryl. Our bonds sealed. To be continued.” Calvi 🎙️ 775+ Interviews & Videos 📺 9,500+ Subscribers — and growing 👉 Please Subscribe: https://www.youtube.com/c/ConversationswithCalvinWetheSpecIEs GLOBAL Reach. Earth Life.
