LifePilot: Be the CEO of your life with Natalie Sisson

This is one of the most honest episodes I have recorded in a long time. After almost 18 years of building my business, I have decided to close it. Not because it failed, or because the work stopped mattering, but because something in me has been asking for a deeper pause, a real reset, and space to choose what comes next. The decision has been building for over a year, but it became clear after a...

  You've built something real. Your 1:1 clients get incredible results. You're booked out or in demand. So why does it feel like you're trapped? Because you're still flying economy. You're the product. Your income is capped by your hours. And every day you stay there is costing you freedom, impact, and the life you actually built this business for. In this exclusive access to my latest master...

There comes a point in business where more is not always better. More offers, more income streams, more platforms, and more launches can look like success on paper. But behind the scenes, they can quietly become the very thing you were trying to escape. I know because I built that version of business. After years of creating digital products, workshops, courses, and programs, I had an ecosystem th...

I want to take you back to where this all started. Before the offers, courses, podcast, launches, and systems, there was a blog, a tiny audience, no email list, and a desire to figure out how to get paid to be myself. Being back in Bali has made me reflect on that journey. Sixteen years ago, I was building from scratch after walking away from a tech startup. I had no real plan, but I had curiosity...

I'm recording this from Bali, and I can feel something shifting in me. There is a version of this story that could sound like luck. Like I just happened to be able to take my family here for three months, work from beautiful cafes, go to the gym, get massages, swim with Leo every afternoon, and build a life that feels expansive and alive. But I need to be clear. This was never about luck. Everythi...

In this episode, I'm sharing what happened when I listened to my gut instead of my strategy, why I pulled the offer last minute, and what changed when I decided to be the CEO of my own decision. This is about more than one offer. It's about having the courage to change your mind on life decisions, relationship decisions, health decisions, business decisions — and why that's actually a sign of inte...

How long have you been sitting on an idea, offer or course that you know still has value... but somehow it keeps getting pushed to the bottom of the list? Because that was me with Monetize You. I created it years ago, coached people through it, watched clients get amazing results and knew the frameworks really worked. But if I'm honest, I just hadn't done anything with it for ages and it slowly dr...

Something shifted for me recently around AI. And not in a small “oh cool, that's helpful” kind of way. More like... oh. Ohhh. This is bigger than I thought. Because if you listened to the previous episode, you know I talked about finally going all in on AI this year and just how much my thinking around it has changed already. But this episode really took it to another level. I got to be part of Jo...

Over my birthday month, I gave myself some real space. Time to switch off, be with family, and finally lean into something I’d been dancing around for a while… AI. And somewhere in that space, I had to be honest with myself. Things in my business were good. My clients, the Legends Club, the Inner Circle, all of that felt solid. But when it came to AI, I could see it clearly. I’d been coasting. Sta...

When was the last time you really looked at your home… not as a place, but as a reflection? Most of us are living in environments that were designed by a past version of ourselves, filled with objects, memories, and “stuff” that no longer aligns with who we are or where we’re going. And yet, we wonder why we feel stuck. Why things feel heavy. Why we’re not moving forward the way we want to. James...

I'm just going to come right out and say it. This last year has been a lot. I’ve got a high-energy toddler. My mum is living with us and navigating dementia, which is equal parts beautiful and heartbreaking. We’re growing businesses, making big decisions, feeling financial pressure even when things are working. I’m moving through perimenopause, which honestly feels like being a different version o...

Let me ask you something. When was the last time you sat still for more than 30 seconds without reaching for your phone? If you had to think about that… that’s exactly what pushed me to run this experiment in February. For 30 days, I went off social media and coffee. Not as a detox. Not as some wellness challenge to post about. But because I was genuinely getting annoyed at myself. I wasn’t doom s...

What's the thing you've been talking about doing, that you still haven't started? If you're honest with yourself, you probably know exactly what it is. And you probably also know the reasons you've talked yourself out of it. The timing isn't right. You're not sure it'll work. What if you fail? What if people judge you? What if it's too late? Our guest, Amy Goober, is here to call time on all of t...

There's a story we tell ourselves about money and freedom: that they're reserved for the lucky, the privileged, the ones who got a head start. But what if the very thing you lacked growing up is exactly what equipped you to build the most intentional life imaginable? I'm so thrilled to welcome our guest, Jason Graystone. Jason grew up without stability, security, or financial safety. His upbringin...

Let me ask you something that I think most people never actually stop to answer: What does your freedom plan look like? Not in a vague, "one day I'll slow down" kind of way. I mean actually,  how many hours a week do you want to work? What does your ideal month look like? When do you want to take Fridays off, go hiking, have a full pamper day, travel, or just be? Because here's what I'm seein...

Be honest. How are you actually using AI right now? If you're like most people, you're probably asking it questions, tweaking some copy, maybe getting it to write a caption or two. And that's a great start. But what if AI could actually do the work for you? Like, really do it. Read and sort your emails. Schedule your social posts. Rebuild your website. Research every single person in a room before...

You're not broken. You're not lazy. You're not behind. Your brain might just be firing in the wrong places, and no amount of hustle can fix that. That's exactly what Dr. Amy Albright helped me understand in this truly profound conversation. Dr. Amy’s journey began as a neuroscience student and self-described atheist, until a profound spiritual awakening during an acupuncture session changed everyt...

I need to be honest with you: I didn't enjoy my HYROX race last week.  Not one moment felt like I was “crushing it.” I was slower than I wanted to be, overheated, disappointed, and questioning myself more than once. And you know what? That makes it the most valuable thing I've done so far this year. This is the story of how a tough race taught me more about resilience, self-efficacy, and ment...

Let’s be real: are you creating content everywhere but connecting with no one? Posting daily, showing up on multiple platforms, but your audience isn't growing. Your email list is stagnant. And the profit you thought would follow? It's not there. Here's the hard truth: you might be building your entire business on borrowed land. That's exactly what happened to today's guest, Jenny Melrose. She had...

I almost deleted the email that changed my year. There it was, sitting in my inbox while Josh and I were testing out our new standing desks in our Bali villa, a speaking invitation to Saudi Arabia that looked way too good to be true. And honestly? I thought it was a scam. But this is the story of how that "sketchy" email turned into me standing on stage as the only female keynote speaker at one of...

I'm about to tell you something that might sting a little: in about three weeks, you're probably gonna be doing the exact same thing you did all last year. I know. You've got your goals. You've got your intentions. You're ready for a new year, new start, new you. But unless you've got a methodology that actually works, that niggly feeling you have right now? It's probably right. Here's what I real...

Freedom doesn’t come from having endless flexibility. It comes from knowing what matters and protecting it with intention. In this episode of the LifePilot Podcast, I sit down with Elizabeth Grace Saunders, one of the world’s leading time management experts and the founder of Real Life E®, for a grounded, honest conversation about time, boundaries, and self-worth. Elizabeth and I have known each o...

I'm about to tell you something that might sting a little: you've been planning your years completely backwards. And it's costing you everything. Here's what I see every single January, and maybe you'll recognize yourself in this: You're setting bold revenue goals, mapping out launches, planning content calendars. It all looks perfect on paper. You're ambitious. You're strategic. You're ready to m...

We don’t start businesses so we can work nonstop. We start them for freedom, flexibility, creativity, and time with the people we love. And yet… so many women find themselves doing everything but that. In this week’s episode of the LifePilot Podcast, I’m joined by Marisa Twentyman, founder of Dirty Copy — a personality-packed copywriting studio and home of the viral Dirty Chats podcast. What makes...
