With over 21 million followers across social media platforms and a best-selling book, Natasha’s influence is undeniable. As she graces the pages of Grazia Philippines this September, we delve into the mind behind the success and explore the unique methods that have empowered countless lives.

Natasha, your journey from a single mom to a global motivational icon is incredibly inspiring. What were the key moments that fueled your transformation?

My biggest driving force was being a single mother. It was important for me to be a role model for my son, but I also wanted to help others as well.
The moment that fuelled my transformation was when I was very ill. After suffering from health issues for some time, I remember looking in the mirror and thinking that everything I’m experiencing is temporary, and I’ll come out of it bigger and better. I believed in that change and I was ready for it. On that day, I made a deal with the universe that if it healed my body and made everything better in my life, I would share my story with the rest of the world forever. It was important to me to inspire other people to also make that change, to show them that they too could heal and get through tough times with self-belief.

The ‘Scripting’ method has become a cornerstone of your teachings. Can you briefly explain how this practice can help people manifest their dreams?

The scripting method is one of the most powerful things I learned during my most challenging times. I found that regular journalling wasn’t working for me, so I flipped the script and started writing down things I wanted to happen in the past tense as though they had already happened. When I wrote about my goals – achieving happiness, financial freedom, good health, etc., in the past tense as if they were all true – it was much more enjoyable. When I wrote this, I was in a sense being somebody else, but I did it with such conviction that I literally felt myself becoming that person mentally as I wrote.

Soon enough, I became her! With scripting, I manifested everything I wanted.
I talk more about this method in my TED Talk which you can see by clicking here: 

You’ve created the MBS Method—Meditational Behavioral Synchronicity. How does this blend of ancient wisdom and modern science help individuals reach their highest potential? 

The MBS method combines breath work with meditation to help you tap into a part of your brain that you don’t normally use. This essentially rewires your belief system. MBS helps you to realign the core program that you’ve written about yourself up until this point. It is a very powerful tool for people who like to meditate, who want to evolve and reach the next level.

Your podcast, ‘The Law of Attraction Secrets,’ has reached the top 3 on Apple with over 100 million views. What do you think makes your approach so impactful? 

I absolutely love being a podcast host and interviewing interesting people with interesting minds. I have interviewed so many celebrities, coaches and entrepreneurs including Will I Am, Steve Aoki, and cast members from the TV show,Selling Sunset. My unique energy and vibe, as well as my way of digging deep into my guests’ mindsets, set me apart from other podcast hosts.

Sharing stages with icons like Tony Robbins and Michelle Obama is a remarkable achievement. What motivates you to excel in public speaking, and how do you prepare for such events? 

Motivational speaking is my calling. There is literally no preparation that I do for speeches and events! I just pick a title for the speech and go with it. A person who knows and believes in what they talk about should be able to speak freely with passion and ease about it on stage.

In your book, ‘Be It Until You Become It,’ you explore the Law of Attraction. What core message do you want your readers to take away?

That you can be whoever you want to be. Your life is a movie – you can choose your character and write your script. Ask yourself who do you want to be today? My book will teach you how to become that person even before you get there. It’s a cooler, more clever take on the idea of “faking it until you make it.”

As a mentor to some of the world’s most successful entrepreneurs and celebrities, what common challenges do you help them overcome through your coaching? 

Celebrities are just normal people. Just like you and I, they face challenges. My celebrity clients have the same goals as non-celebrities, such as finding love, gaining more wealth and improving their health, etc. Knowing I am able to help them achieve some of their heartfelt dreams and desires is very gratifying. Serving and helping others makes me happy.

Grazia is proud to present your maternity shoot. We heard you recently gave birth to a baby girl – congratulations! What three things do you want to teach your daughter for her future? 

I am excited to share this exclusive maternity shoot with Grazia! Thank you for putting me on the cover! 

The three things I want to teach my daughter are:

1. life is a movie – you choose your character, you write your script.

2. Light someone’s candle every day. In other words, you should always light up someone’s world rather than blowing out their candle and dimming their light.

3. Forgiveness and kindness are everything!
