It’s not often that you get a chance to pick the brains of a bona fide Hollywood star. But today’s podcast guest, Nathalie Kelley is exactly that… and so much more.

Nathalie Kelley is the lead in the ABC series The Baker and the Beauty. Born in the Amazon and raised in the Outback, she maintained strong spiritual and cultural ties to her ancestral homeland. During one of her trips home to Peru, she experienced an awakening around her mission to bring our planet and society back into balance. Through her unique position as an actress with a large following, Nathalie is rewriting the rules of what it means to be an ‘influencer’ in order to enact large-scale social change, encourage conscious living, and inspire everyone to heal our planet.

Real and raw, Nathalie goes deep in this conversation, covering everything from handling rejection, to feeling comfortable in your own skin, to living zero waste, and what it *really* takes to make it in Hollywood.
