We were lucky to catch up with Natalie Berghoudian recently and have shared our conversation below.
Natalie, thanks so much for taking the time to share your insights and lessons with us today. We’re particularly interested in hearing about how you became such a resilient person. Where do you get your resilience from?
Growing up, my family encountered numerous hardships. From a young age, I found myself thrust into an adult role, shouldering responsibilities beyond my years. I not only cared for my younger brother but often found myself providing support to my parents as well. Amidst these challenges, I found a strong inner drive—a glimmer of hope that kept me going, even when things seemed impossible.
I held onto the belief that things would get better. This determination, born from adversity, has become one of my strongest assets. It’s guided me through tough times, giving me the strength to overcome them.
Thanks, so before we move on maybe you can share a bit more about yourself?
I’m thrilled to share my journey with you. Recently, I embarked on a new adventure in the world of social media influencing. In September 2023, I launched my Instagram account, “Glam Girl Natalie.” Over the past six months, I’ve witnessed tremendous growth, amassing a following of over 4000 dedicated followers.
What excites me most about this journey is the opportunity to collaborate with over 50 esteemed fashion brands and forge genuine connections within the fashion community. I’ve had the privilege of attending creator events and partnering with reputable brands, which has been incredibly rewarding.
As I continue on this path, my aim is to keep evolving, learning, and connecting with fellow fashion enthusiasts. I’m passionate about expanding my reach and sharing my love for style and creativity with a broader audience. Join me on this exciting journey by following @glamgirlnatalie across all social media platforms!
Looking back, what do you think were the three qualities, skills, or areas of knowledge that were most impactful in your journey? What advice do you have for folks who are early in their journey in terms of how they can best develop or improve on these?
Reflecting on my journey, I’ve found three qualities to be profoundly impactful:
1. Be comfortable with being uncomfortable. Stepping outside my comfort zone has been essential for growth and success. Embracing discomfort has allowed me to adapt to change and expand my capabilities.
2. Saying YES! By being open to new experiences and saying yes to opportunities that come my way, I’ve been able to explore diverse paths and uncover unexpected avenues for growth and achievement.
3. Learning from experts in the field. Seeking guidance from those who have already achieved success in my desired field has been invaluable. Learning from their experiences and insights has provided me with invaluable knowledge and inspiration.
For those just starting their journey, I offer the following advice:
– Embrace discomfort as a catalyst for growth and development.
– Keep an open mind and say yes to opportunities, even if they seem outside your comfort zone.
– Seek out mentors and learn from their experiences to accelerate your own progress.
– Set realistic and attainable goals to guide your journey and measure your progress along the way.
One of our goals is to help like-minded folks with similar goals connect and so before we go we want to ask if you are looking to partner or collab with others – and if so, what would make the ideal collaborator or partner?
I’m constantly seeking collaboration opportunities! I thrive when working with others and am highly sociable. Whether you’re a brand, fellow influencer, or someone looking to enhance or manage your social media presence, I’m eager to partner with you.
If you’re interested in collaborating, please reach out to me via email at [email protected]. I’m excited to connect and explore potential partnerships together!
