EPISODE 55- FASHION MAMA @NATALIEALCALA

This week we have an amazing guest with us, the original #FashionMama herself, @NatalieAlcala.  We get to hear the amazing story of how she got to be a Senior Editor for Racked LA a company she had been dreaming to work for since a young age.  When she became a mom, she noticed that she had a hard time connecting with other moms so she created a space for other Fashion Mamas like herself to connect, make friends and share their experiences as Moms.  Natalie's story is so inspiring, she teaches us that to make our dreams a reality we have to work hard and constantly envision yourself where you want to end up.  Natalie also shares her passion for healthy eating wellness for herself but also for her son Diego.  This is definitely one of our favorite episodes so don't miss it!
