Natasha Perold is a medical nurse, wellness advocate, and Mrs. Supranational SA finalist who joins Zisto for the kind of conversation that makes you want to pull over and just listen. She talks about the season she had to stop pouring into everyone else and start figuring out who she actually was, and what she discovered surprised even her.

Mrs. Supranational is a national pageant for women of purpose, single, divorced, or married, that goes far beyond a crown. It is about identity, impact, and showing up for yourself and your community. Think less Miss Universe, more woman who has actually lived something.
