"Maybe the journey isn’t so much about becoming anything. Maybe it’s about un-becoming everything that isn’t really you." ❤‍🔥

It’s so strange to say it because I’ve never met you in person, but I SO deeply value your impact on my life and truly care so much about you as a person, Natacha. I cannot thank you enough for creating content that helped me learn to love and appreciate my body instead of criticizing and resenting it. I’m teary eyed typing this because I’ve watched you so many years now and I’m so proud of how far you’ve come and I’m also proud of how far I’m come as a result of watching your content. Thank you. 💛

no influencer or KZfaqr or coach or teacher changed my life as much as natacha we love you

1. No one has it completely figured out 2. Failure is the root to success 3. Take charge of your life or the world will do it for you (Learn to say no) 4. Challenge your beliefs often (Don’t limit yourself) 5. You don’t need to fit In (Peace is happiness at rest; be ruthlessly honest with what makes you happy)

I know I might sound repetitive but your channel was really life changing. The struggle is still real (ED is a b1tch, society standards suck and family trauma isn’t a joke either) and not every day is a good day but your videos, your programs and you positive energy really keeps me going. Hope one day I’ll get to hug you and thank you in person for all you do ❤

I think the real difference between Natacha and basically any other influencer that I know of is how open she is with her viewers about the ugly/difficult/taboo side of life, and it comes from a place of honesty that cannot be faked. It rings true, so it rings human and therefore it rings to us. Thanks, Nat. You're a trooper for sharing what you share in a position of influence & I have deep respect for you and your job.

Since the day I turned 18, I have felt completely and utterly hopeless and lost. I’m now 20 and can’t shake the feeling. This was definitely comforting to hear. Always providing such high quality content - thank you Natacha!❤️

You're NOT difficult. You are a strong woman with qualities and an amazing work ethic who knows what she wants. Don't ever let anyone tell you you're difficult. Unfortunately, a lot of people are just not used to/ready for this kind of commitment.

“You **need** to be constantly failing to be pushing the boundaries of what you’re capable of.” In life and love❤️ (which really are one in the same)

Hi. I just shared parts of this video with my 8 year old daughter. She is having a hard time fitting in at school. After watching this.... especially the last slide, she decided to be herself and stop worrying about fitting in. Thank you for sharing your positivity!

I can't believe I started watching you when you had 14K. To see you here now with 1.5 million subs is just incredible. And you deserve it in every way Natacha! I usually don't leach on to ''influencers'' but you have a place in my heart with your joy, authenticity and breath of fresh air. Thank you!

I rarely aspire to be like people on the internet, but your genuineness, mindset and positivity is just something that I hope to embody...forever grateful that one fateful day I searched "how to run" and found your content!! Thank you Natacha!

Historically I have a habit of going too hard, not being able to sustain the Herculean effort, giving up and hating myself. So now I’m trying to give a small, consistent mediocre effort everyday. It sounds stupidly simple but its crazy how it adds up. Mediocre consistency is the mindset that’s changed my life, that’s gave me a goal even though I was so depressed and I wish I’d known about as a kid. I had to overhaul how I approached taking care of my brain (exercise, journaling, studying etc) by practising mediocre consistency. Now I try to put in consistent 40-60% effort into my journaling habit, workouts and how I study - to make sure I do it I began recording and posting it on my yt channel. After a really bad depression phase these small consistent efforts, is how i got out of it.

"peace is happiness at rest" 🤯🤯🤯🤯👏

Well I love hearing a woman speak from her heart, honestly and bravely. Thank you for fabulous advice and tips. My one piece of advice as a 47 year old woman is never stop wanting to grow , to learn and guard your heart. Trust the journey. Grateful to be alive and well. 🙏🏽 wish you all the best Natacha 💋❤️

Last year I was diagnosed with clinical depression and started on medication and therapy. Now my Dr is lowering my dose and one step at a time I'm feeling less like a mess. Still messy some days or weeks, and nothing makes sense, but more people feel like this than we realise! It's important to realise.

obsessed with natacha and everything she creates honestly 😩 I can't believe I caught this video in the first hour !!!

Your channel is so well rounded. Not only have you shown me the healthiest and most uplifting way to achieve my physique goals, you drop a video like this that embraces our beauty on the inside♥️

Really needed this video today. It was my first day of uni and it didn’t go as well as I’d hoped but you’re so right that I’ll learn from failure and it wasn’t as bad as I make it out to be in my head.

thank you for sharing Natacha ! We love you !!!!

Needed this so bad lately. Thanks for “failing” fearlessly. It’s inspiring to watch. That’s what’s success looks like to me ♥️

I’m currently on my journey to finding my true purpose/happiness. I needed this today, thank you Natacha ❤

All my love to you! I can always relate so much when you talk about being the first one in the family to go to uni and i really love your plan to give this opportunity to other kids too ❤️

You’re amazing. Thank you for being so real. I needed this!

I’ve been working HARD on myself lately both mentally and physically and you’ve been my personal cheerleader through it all. I appreciate your content more than I can express and can’t wait to be at a point that I can confidently share my story!

i just have to say this, your channel literally means everything to me as someone who doesnt have a good relationship with food, you made me realize how necessary food actually is to our body and that eating should be a thing that brings joy and seeing your relationship with food just makes me feel so good and gives me hope for myself :) im really trying to get a healthy lifestyle and you are such a motivation so thank you so muchh you're amazing ilyy!!

I’m absolutely obsessed, natacha you have changed my LIFE!! I have never had such an amazing relationship with working out and my transformed outlook on having a healthy lifestyle is massively down to you - this video has come at such a perfect time as well, thank you so much xx

Respect that vulnerability to share that a major biz venture of yours "failed". A great lesson to keep learning and pushing on

It really hits home hearing someone explain it like this 🥺 There really is more to life than feeling like we're here to please others and are wrong to fail at things. Life is for living and making memories with those we love. I often feel silly trying to explain how I feel out of fear of being judged but you explained it perfectly, honestly so grateful for what you do ❤️ stay positive

You're such an inspiration to me, and I honestly feel like you, your content and your fitness programs have changed my life for the better after recovering from an ED. Thank you for all that you do! I would LOVE to meet you some day!! ❤

this was so beautiful to watch, i had a therapy session recently where we went over a lot of these but actually hearing someone speak of experiences so close to the ones i felt while not fitting in is actually relieving, and to anyone reading this, keep evolving and learning, and do it for yourself ❤️

I have been having a rough week mentally between my stress and anxiety over personal and professional things in my life and this video was definitely full of things I needed to hear. Thank you Natacha for somehow always having the words to make me feel better and inspire me to keep going even when I feel like I am not capable. I (and I’m sure many others) feel connected to you through your honesty in videos like this and it really feels like getting advice from a friend when I need it most ❤

It's unbelievably encouraging to hear you talk about your greatest contributions being as an outsider. What a great way to reframe and add meaning to your individuality and uniqueness. I'm so glad you aren't like anyone else!!! 🧡🧡🧡

This video and “how to become the person you always wanted” are my favorites. They’ve reminded me that the hopelessness i feel isn’t a mountain I can’t surpass. Thank you so much for sitting down and chatting with us. Always love hearing more about your experiences and what you e learned . Such a role model ❤

An absolutely incredible video, amazing inspirational messages and what life is about. You've become so wise, I love it! We are all learning everyday about ourselves and other environments. Followed you for years, since the start you have been amazing Natacha!

Thanks Natacha. Just the inspiration I needed.

This was a well timed video, and from one of my favourite people. I watch your videos and for this whole time I realized I was looking at you as someone who has all their shit together. Thank you for being vulnerable ❤Failure is so scary but seeing you admit to your failures is a huge inspiration.

It's almost eerie how well-timed this video was to me having a horrible week followed by a horrible day at work. Thanks Natacha!

I adore you Natacha! Thank you for keeping it so real!

Natacha ❤ thank you for this! I relate to a lot of things that you said and actually working on improving things in my life❤ I am so grateful to have discovered you and to be apart of your community ❤

I literally watch all your videos on repeat whenever I’m having a bad day. Been crying for days feeling so lost and then this video popped up 🎉 and immediately gave me motivation to keep growing and learning. Thank you for being so honest and candid! You are a ray of sunshine and are guiding so many people to be their best selves!

Gaaaa this made me all teary eyed with affection and appreciation for you ❤ Truly, you are one of a kind, incredibly special and such a joy. You have created such a lovely community here and I’m really grateful to be one of the 1.5 million that knows how wonderful you are ☺️ One of the things that stood out for me in this video was that when you talked about all the things you did that built your confidence, they were all things you did for yourself. I know Mario is a very important part of your life and that he has had an influence and an impact on you, but you didnt mention him and it struck me as evidence of how seriously you take this aspect of your life. You said the most important part at the end: you are the person who has been and will be with you forever through everything. I dunno …. I’m likely not communicating it well, but it really struck me how important a message this is for your audience, knowing how many of them are (well, I don’t know, I’m assuming lol) young women. You’re working hard at being at peace with who and how you are and while our relationships are important and the things we do are important, they can’t define our worth or sense of self. They can certainly be a vehicle for growth, though. My favourite thing about being in my 40’s is just how much all of the things you covered have really settled in for me now. I can relate to so much of what you shared, having had a lot of the same struggles and challenges and had to work diligently at those things, too. Still do. But it all kinda sets into the fibre of who you are somehow and it takes less and less effort. Truly the gift of getting older, if youre doing it well, is that you care less and less about what anyone else thinks and counterintuitively, as you care less about that, the more you’re able to care FOR others and give to others without feeling depleted or conflicted. It’s pretty great. Also, it has to be said, your hair looks fabulous! It kinda distracted me the whole time. I was like, “she’s glowing”. You’re just awesome 😎 ❤

I found your channel a few weeks ago and have to admit that I've binge watched so much of your content since then! haha I love your quirkiness! It's been so helpful to hear from someone with an ED background and gives me a lot of hope for the future. I had no idea how many toxic health/fitness beliefs I was still holding onto and you're videos have truly helped me start to move past a lot of them. So a BIIIIG thank you from me :)

Thank you so much for this video and this message…these are lessons we all need reminded of! ❤️

I can't describe the level of respect I have for you or how much you've positively affected my life. I've been around here for a few years but I needed to let you know how much you've changed how I see life and more importantly how I see myself. You've helped me love my body and be confident as a biology uni student, pre-doctorate weirdo. Love u natacha

Thank you Natacha! For your honesty, your kind energy and for being you. I come back to watch this video whenever I feel down or lost.

Absolutely incredible Natacha. I needed to hear this tonight 🙌 truly thank you so much for what you put out into the world and for being yourself its so refreshing 💗

Thank you so much for this video Natacha! I'm sure this wasn't an easy one to film (emotionally), so thank you for sharing these very deep thoughts and life lessons with us ❤

this video literally changed my life. i have watched it a few weeks ago and I have dramatically changed my worldview ever since. thank for always being my greatest inspiration natacha!

i'm sorry to hear your business didn't go as well as you wanted it to :( i remember you were so excited to announce it to us and mentioned in a new years video of how proud of it you were. but all of your hard work just shows the determination and drive in your character! no need to ever mention what the business was - onwards and upwards natacha!

I have been bing watching your videos for a year. And I can definitely tell a difference in your mindset and sport approach. Your changes are so obvious. You are such an inspiration and encourager, your and Mario's sense of humour is something, I can't take my eyes of you two. You and Mario are absolutely beautiful, stunning and hilarious. The quality of your videos is top-notch. I always look forward to your videos. Thank you so much ❤️ Hope you and Mario had a great holiday.

Happy for you Natacha. Well done! As always thank you for sharing with us!👊

Thank you so much for being this open with us! ❤ This video made me cry, you said everything I needed to be reminded of.

Watching this could not have come at a better time!! Last week I realised a mistake in my longitudinal study for my PhD and while I have tried to implement a solution, there is a chance I have lost some data + I made two other mistakes in trying to fix it. It's been constantly on my mind and making me feel awful but watching this puts it in perspective, so thank you so much for this

My favourite quote: “it’s not about waiting for the storm to end, it’s about learning to dance in the rain”. Life has constantly been a challenge and I’ve learned very much the hard way too that no one has got their sh** together, nothing ever suddenly just clicks easily into place and to stop waiting to go for it … ❤

You are changing lives! Mine included. With the running, the belief in being able to do anything, the nutrition.. and you all around happy influence! Lots of love from a fellow Frenchie ❤️

This is why when people ask me who is inspiring my fitness journey I refer to you. You are not only about physical fitness, but true and honest mental fitness. 💖🧠 Also, been loving the thumbnails as of late, they're really nicely designed!!

Today has been a very difficult day and I was feeling down on myself about not being able to study and feeling like everyone else in my doctoral program has it together so much more than I do - your video popped up at the perfect time! Thank you for always making my day better and reminding me what matters in life.

thank you so much for being so real ❤you absolutely made my day, or even my whole month, i really needed this little reminder

You are an absolute inspiration to me. When I’m feeling down some days, all I need to do is watch one of your videos, and your vibrant energy just radiates off of you, and suddenly things are just a little bit better. Thank you for sharing your journey, from the good to the bad. I know I’m a stranger, but I love you 💕 Have a great day 😊

I am not someone who comments on KZfaq, but I am compelled to let you know that you authenticity cannot matched. You are a gem. the time and effort you put into creating content for us is unreal. I can feel you when you speak, I can believe in your words and mostly I can feel that you care. a genuine young woman. hugs from montreal

I’m currently at the start of my eating disorder recovery and you are one of the reasons I sought out help, Thankyou so much for being an incredible role model and being a constant source of comfort to me.

Wow this is very relatable for me and seeing that someone I look up to so much and that I previously thought must just naturally be better at everything than I could ever be, is actually very similar to me in a lot of ways when it comes to the things we worry about and things that can hold us back if we don’t understand and overcome them. It’s very illuminating for me and makes me feel like I can do incredible things, just like you, if I put my mind to it. Thank you for being so real with your audience Natacha and for just being you. You’re truly such a beautiful person and you inspire me & many others I’m sure, to be the best version of ourselves, so thank you for everything you do 🙏🏽💖

I love that you are talking about this!! Totally relatable!! Realising that no one really knows what they're doing is incredibly liberating.

Oh my goodness I never catch you this soon after posting! Thank you for being my inspiration, your videos make me happier than you will ever ever know!! ❤️❤️❤️

You literally make me feel like I can do ANYTHING 💙

Thank you for such an uplifting video! I see a lot of myself in you from 10-5 years ago…I’m a HUGE perfectionist, I care a lot about what other people think, and I struggle a lot with disordered nutrition and exercise. It gives me some hope to see how you’ve grown over the years, like maybe I can eventually get to that point. Proud of you!! ❤

Loved this video ! Thanks Natacha. Your message is filled with both kindness & practicality .

Sk excited for this. I love yiu. You're amazing. You deserve everything you get because you work so hard. I hope you enjoyed your time off ❤️💕

love this. also think the business story is super important to talk about. the current culture makes everyone think if you’re passionate about something and give it your all, you’ll be successful… which isn’t the case. especially someone like you who’s already successful at so many other things 🙃

This was so needed and such a great watch Natacha! Thank you ❤ And I 100% relate to the being different and people not liking me (also being a perfectionist and wanting to please everyone - ie everyone liking me) All of it, I relate to it, hard. Thank you for inspiring us to be better versions of ourselves. x

Finding your channel was life changing for me. I have struggled with self image, eating disorders and health issues as a result of those things. I also grew up in a family that watched everything I ate and didn't hold back when it came to commenting on my body, which contributed to trauma that I'm still healing from. I was also a competitive gymnast and that world was super toxic when it came to body image and food. I grew up feeling ashamed of my body shape, height and weight. I have never had a healthy relationship with working out or eating...until now. Thank you so much for the time and effort you put into your videos. They're so important for people like me who have grown up with a toxic relationship with my body and with food. You've made working out and eating something I look forward to..not something I punish myself with.

This year started out rough, but it's turning into one of the healthiest years of my life and I'm so glad for encouragement like you 🥰 Moving my body is enjoyable instead of punishment, I'm eating intuitively for me, and I'm actually finding myself thinner/stronger. ♥️ Thanks for all the work and research you put into your videos =)

Missed you and soooo happy you’re back! Your growth and achievements has been so amazing to see. You’re beautiful. 💛💛 Lots of love!

I truly so look forward to your videos! Your energy and outlook on things is really inspiring! No body does KZfaq like you!

Natacha you have been such an inspiration and role model for years!! even though I don’t follow much fitness content anymore your channel has stayed because of your authenticity and amazing big sister vibes. I’ve been in a big rut this year, I dropped out of medical school and now I have no idea what to do next but this video really made me feel like it’s gonna be okay 💗

All my love, Natacha! I've followed your journey for years and years, and I'm currently on one of your programs (the second of yours I've tried). It's transformed my relationship with the gym. I used to slog through my workouts out of obligation, and now I get excited for them! Thank you ☺

this is exactly what i needed, i just graduated from a marketing major and I feel so lost in what my next step should be. thank you so much for always being there for me 💖

Thank you so much of this video Natacha! This was truly mind opening and made me even more confident with my previous thoughts. Those things that you were talking about were exactly the things that I've had on my mind in the last months. It's truly amazing how much happiness and kindness and self confidense you bring with your videos. I'm forever happy of finding you from KZfaq, your videos make me a smile every time I watch and listen to them. Thank you Natacha♥️♥️

I really needed this video today, I’ve been struggling after moving to NYC this past winter. Thank you for being such a light Natacha!! :)

Every now and then, we all need that little reminder. Thank you for putting this out 😊 the last message from you I got was “how you look is the least interesting thing about you” love it and alleviate so much negative energy for me. Love always. PS: have you thought of looking into short 5min mini workouts through out the day and comparing it to conventional concentrated 1hr workout?

This channel has helped me for literal years - from simply wanting to feel strong before my wedding to now, getting over postpartum depression and adjusting to life as a mom. You’ve always been able to inspire without making me feel “smaller than” and your integrity and sense of humor is the cherry on top of everything - your content ALWAYS leaves me feeling better. It’s not even about the fitness anymore (although I appreciate it), it’s truly so valuable to have a voice like yours on the internet. THANK YOU!!! 🥰🥹🙏

Everything I needed to hear 💕 been getting sucked into the world to often recently and your videos always pull me out of that rut! Thank you🙏🏻

This is exactly what I needed to hear today. Thank you for your authenticity ❤️

Yeaaaa buddy!!!

I don't think you understand how much I really needed this. Today was the first day of the first job I've ever had, and this really helped my anxiety. Thank you

This was so comforting to watch! Also it’s so uplifting and inspiring to see you just so happy and talking about being at peace! I started following you since you first started with gymshark and I love how you’ve always stuck true to your beliefs and values even if it makes you “difficult” like you termed it ❤❤❤

You’re the best, Natacha! This video was so encouraging ❤️ Also your hair and make-up looks so good!!! 😊

"I delete the videos" Me frantically looking for a video from last week 💀💀💀💀💀💀

Love and admire you so much Natacha! 🥹 I needed this video more than I realized 😭 Thank you so much for sharing and creating this video! Sending you warm, warm hugs! I hope you have a lovely day Natacha! 🫶🏼

Owwww Natacha 🥹 This was such a beautiful video. Thank you so much for sharing - you’re so unique in how you’re so open and vulnerable with your audience, while holding such strong values in a world where social media makes that increasingly difficult . Thank you so much for sharing yourself with us - we’re so lucky you to have you! ❤

thank u natacha! seriously, love you this was kind of what i needed although i didn’t know 20minutes ago. kind of in a difficult time after finishing school and starting to work before going to travel and then uni. i’ve watched you many times before but last week i found your channel again and i couldn’t be more happy about it. your videos help me to focus on me, staying open to everything and finding confidence I didn’t know I was lacking. it makes me seriously happy to watch your channel. thank uuu!

I absolutely loved this video, these are the things I really needed to hear right now, I love the way you approach things and bring the message across, it feels like you say and intend things with so much love and that always makes me feel so much better and I respect you so much for it❤️ You were one of the first people on youtube I found who had been open about her ed en who made be believe that there was actually a possibility of recovery and life after it, you have helped me so much and I am so grateful for that ❤️

I have felt (and sometimes still feel) like you have explained in the video. A lot of times I though that people around me seemed much more ahead than me in life. It's helpful to remember that it's not like this and that we all need to fight in life because life is not easy

I love you too Natacha! You are a great inspiration for me! Thank you!

everything you say natacha, I adore. I am in awe of your wisdom, humility and the way you just express things so well ! Everything makes sense and I always feel less alone and more understood when watching your videos :)

Natacha THANK YOU FOR THIS VIDEO! You’re so real and inspiring. Absolutely love your content and who you are as a person ✨💕⭐️ I’m going to be watching this on repeat!

Wowww - this has been exactly what I needed to hear after beginning year 2 of Uni. I have been utterly lost in my own thoughts, suffocated by social anxiety, trying to fit in and failing and trying to be the best! Your video has contained the words I think I have needed to hear for a long time. Thank you for being so transparent - it’s rare and wonderful! ❤

Yes to all of this!! I love it so much! Thank you for caring, sharing and being so beautifully honest 💛

Oh my you just made my day! I didn't expect a new video this week from you bc I thought you were taking a break. But just seeing this video made me instantly happy... It could not come at a better time since I'm struggling the last few weeks. Much love ❤️❤️
