From the Anchor Desk to a New Purpose
I began my career as a photojournalist—capturing real stories through a lens long before I sat behind a news desk. With a degree in broadcast journalism. I was always fascinated by how people, systems, and ideas shape our world. That curiosity eventually led me to a 28-year career in television news, where I covered everything from investigative reports to health breakthroughs, education reform, and the stories that shaped our communities. I spent more than 20 hours a week on-air as a TV anchor, and over the years I received awards including Emmys, Associated Press honors, and the Gracie Allen Award.
​
But accolades aren’t what drove me—they never were.
The moment that truly changed me came in 2012, during the Aurora theater shooting. As I reported the story live, I began reading the names of the victims on-air. In real time, I recognized one of them—a young, aspiring journalist at our station. That moment stopped me cold, It was raw, and deeply personal. And it made me realize: while the world needs to be informed, it also needs compassion. People don’t want to be inundated with darkness—they want light, hope, and stories that help them live better. That moment—and many others like it—ignited a shift in me. I began to see journalism differently. I wasn’t done telling stories. I just knew I needed to tell different ones. The kind that inspire growth, spark healing, and help people make sense of their own lives.

I love helping people find ways to improve their lives. I am an expert in getting to the truth and finding the right resources to help people become all they are meant to be.
Helping Women Reset With Truth, Purpose, and Clarity
Today, I’ve taken everything I learned as a journalist—how to ask the right questions, find trusted sources, and tell powerful stories—and brought it into a new mission: helping women 40+ cut through the health and wellness noise. I host The Natalie Tysdal Podcast, lead online programs and share weekly resources that focus on gut health, hormone balance, energy, and mindset. My goal is simple: to give you tools you can trust, strategies that fit your life, and encouragement that feels real. Health doesn’t have to be overwhelming. It can be grounded, purposeful, and even joyful.
When Life Changed, So Did I
Television news was changing—and so was I. As an anchor spending more than 20 hours a week on-air, I found myself searching for joy and meaning in a world that often felt heavy. I was also raising three kids and trying to help them make sense of it all. Then 2020 happened, and like so many of us, I was forced to slow down. Broadcasting from my closet, then my basement, I had the space to ask hard questions: What really matters? What kind of mom, wife, and woman do I want to be? That season helped me see that having it all doesn’t mean doing it all. It means making intentional choices—even when that means walking away from something familiar.
A Community Rooted in Purpose
This space was never meant to be just about me. It’s about us—women navigating midlife with strength, curiosity, and purpose. Whether you’re here to get your energy back, learn more about your body, or simply find a little inspiration each week, I’m so glad you’re here. My hope is that you’ll find truth, support, and a sense of community in everything I share. Let’s keep asking better questions, seeking what matters, and building a life that reflects who we really are. I can’t wait to learn and grow together.

Keep dreaming,
Natalie
