Welcome to Peace is a Choice. A podcast where we explore the power of consciously cultivating inner peace and how it shapes the quality of our lives. I’m Natasha Wallace, a conscious leadership expert, executive coach, speaker, and author. I’m on a mission to help 100 million people to thrive through a conscious and peaceful approach to leadership and living. We all have the ability to become more aware of who we are and why we feel the way we do. And when we do, we unlock the potential to transform our reality. It’s not always easy—it takes practice, self-awareness, courage, and sometimes a fresh perspective. But making the choice to seek peace opens the door to a more fulfilling and harmonious life – and the potential to make a bigger difference in the world. In each episode, we'll sit down with guests to hear their personal stories—how they’ve faced challenges, what they’ve learned, and how they’ve found ways to experience and share more peace. We’ll also dive into the world of purposeful work, featuring those who are actively spreading peace and acceptance around the globe. Our conversations are relaxed and insightful, offering practical takeaways to help guide you toward greater calm, a better quality of life, and the positive impact you can make in the world.
