Creating The Life And Love Life That You Deserve Today With Actress, Writer, Producer And Certified Life And Dating Coach, Natalie Stavola!
Paul Vato Presents:
08/15/22 • 44 min
Paul and Natalie were both raised Roman Catholic and share their mutually traumatic family and school experiences. Apparently, Paul still holds a massive grudge against the CCD (Confraternity of Christian Doctrine) kids that used to invade HIS school to learn about Catholicism, of which Natalie was one of them.
We also learn that maybe, just maybe, using tequila to soothe a child's sore tooth and whiskey to settle a little girl's tummy might just not be THAT great of an idea and MAY lead to a severe case of alcoholism and addiction. ¡Olé!
In this episode we learn: 1. The differences in how men and women try to "fix" things. 2. How there is a 12 step program to suit everyone's needs, even yours! 3. How stand up comedy and satire actually helps us to digest information that otherwise would've hit against the cognitive dissonance.
"If you are feeling overwhelmed by life’s demands, my services aim to introduce clarity and self-motivation and end repeat cycles that make you feel stuck, frustrated, or constantly choosing toxic relationships." - Natalie Stavola
NATALIE STAVOLA
Natalie Stavola is an actress, writer, producer and certified life and dating coach with a degree in psychology.
She specializes in toxic relationships both on and off screen and helps people overcome their insecurities and turn their fears into strengths while being an example of practicing what she preaches.
She breaks out of limiting beliefs while coaching others on how to do the same.
Originally from the northeast and currently residing in Los Angeles, Natalie has kept that east coast edge with an added Cali ease. Sharp wit with a cool vibe. You can see her on Amazon Prime or interviewed recently on the CW.

AFINA MADOIAN Soul, jazz and pop singer Afina Madoian (who goes by the mononym Afina) was born and raised in Moldova, performing since childhood all over Europe and landing a spot on X-Factor Romania in 2014. The Los Angeles performer with bountiful curly hair, a striking voice and an even bigger heart was granted the prestigious O1 visa for extraordinary abilities in the arts when she was just 19 years of age. Afina's story is one of bravery, intense isolation but most of all of an immigrant artist following her dreams.
