About Nat

As a single, 40 year old Woman Without Kids by the combination of choice and circumstance and as a Coach, Facilitator, Speaker, Podcaster and occasional Singer, Performer and Artist, Nat Ferrier is deeply passionate about flipping the stereotypes of “middle aged, infertile and failing at femininity” into “40, fecund (e.g. highly creative in other ways) and freaking fabulous”.

She is the Founder of a support community and series of meetups for Women experiencing life without kids by choice or circumstance, that provide an opportunity for people who are not biological parents (and may or may not want to still have children in their life in a host of other ways), share their experiences and find a doorway to the support they need to help them thrive in career, leadership, legacy, love and life.

She also works with High Achieving Entrepreneurs, Professionals and Leaders on becoming more confident in self expression and Organisations on creating more safety in communication around awkward topics, like "so, do you have kids?"


In addition to having over 2 decades of experience in Management and Supporting Senior Leadership in Allied Health, Hospitals, Peak Bodies/Member Organisations, RTO's, NFP's and Emergency Services, Nat has also successfully founded a private Counselling and Coaching Practice in 2010 and also spent from 2013-2020 Mentoring similarly qualified Practitioners in uncovering their unique expertise and talents as Practitioners and building confidence in their Leadership and online and live communication. 

 
Some of Nat's greatest other achievements have involved:

• Repeatedly achieving State Sales Leader while working solo and as part of a team in Women's Retail.

 

• Business Managing, Client Relationship Managing, Event and Sales Managing, Coaching and Head Mentoring some of her former Mentors International Training Organisations to over 7 figure revenue in 12 months. (With over 50% of the client testimonials on the website at that point having been provided by her Mentees, she was promoted to being the very first of their amazing Head Mentors.)

​

• Nat has also been fortunate to work with or for and been lucky to attend the trainings and business schools of Two World Top 10-20 Motivational Speakers and some of Australia’s foremost Thought Leaders in Conscious Business Development, Holistic Sales and Marketing, Public Speaking, Communication and Leadership.

​

• Over the last decade, Nat has collaboratively helped over 20 000 Professionals, Leaders and Entrepreneurs make a greater positive impact in the world, doing work they love.

What sets Nat apart in her approach:

• She has been repeatedly sought out by other Leaders for her ability to read people with a high degree of accuracy

​

• She has been hired repeatedly for her insight, being able to see straight to the core of where individuals are most 'stuck' and where the weakest links are in organisational culture and communication strategy, facilitating breakthroughs that then allow the resumption of forward momentum in goal achievement, increased engagement, increased revenue and longer retention of both clients and staff AND

 

• Given the depth of the complex experiences and crises she had to navigate from an early age, whether its random people feeling comfortable to walk up and tell her their life story on the street, Practice Owners or high level Entrepreneurs who have recruited her for the quality of client experience she creates, Nat also has a unique ability to help people feel safe to open up, engage and bring forward and shine in their highest potential  

 

Nat is presently in production of a Podcast, a Blog, and 2 upcoming books:  “40, no kids, no what?” and "Say It Like It Is (But Please Be Kind): a guide book to being lovingly honest and creating greater emotional safety in personal & professional communication."

Nat is also available to speak and facilitate discussions on both.

Passions & Performing Arts...

When she's not helping Women Without Kids thrive in living non traditional life paths, or professionals and leaders with self expression, heart centred communication and leadership, or on her books, or scribbling down notes for upcoming videos and podcast episodes, you'll also find Nat rehearsing numerous songs for virtual or live performance. Scribbling down more notes and future script ideas for stories about people who've faced versions of the "40, No Kids Now What?" challenge.  Researching sustainability and Tiny House designs. Or seeking out some nature or coastal walk she hasn't done yet, having meaningful conversations with good friends or total strangers, attending a virtual ecstatic dance class in Sydney's Inner North. Or occasionally still putting all her former farm girl, zoology, agriculture and environmental science training and experience to good use, looking after people's beloved fur kids, while ever working on creating her own version of a happy, healthy, sustainable, work and personal life she loves.
