Walking Tall Podcast

In 2017 Natalie was diagnosed with ovarian cancer and due to the disease was forced to have a hysterectomy, not allowing her to bear children. During the surgery, Natalie flatlined on the operating table requiring resuscitation. An extremely traumatic experience. In 2023 Natalie and her husband adopted a beautiful baby boy, named Ellis who has special needs.
Professionally, Natalie is a licensed therapist working with children like Ellis and will soon become a BCBA. Sadly, a few weeks ago Natalie was re-diagnosed with cancer and is at the onset of chemotherapy. But like she always has done - Natalie will persevere and beat cancer once again. As she has always Walked Tall for others in her life, it’s time for Natalie to Walk Tall for herself and for the Walking Tall Movement to Walk Tall with her as she fights to rid cancer once again from her amazing soul. We are so honored to have Natalie a part of The Walking Tall Movement!
