For women who want to become the leaders of their own lives.

The Nourished Leader™ is a self-leadership approach that helps women get more done without becoming depleted — by building capacity, clarity, and courage from the inside out.

A Nourished Leader isn’t driven by stress, urgency, or self-abandonment.
She leads herself from nourishment — inner spaciousness, grounded decision-making, and a relationship with herself that expands her capacity instead of draining it.

A Nourished Leader:

  • Leads her life without losing herself

  • Expands her capacity without burnout

  • Makes clear decisions under pressure

  • Creates conditions that nourish others, not deplete her

This is self-leadership that regenerates the woman — so she can sustainably lead her life, her work, and her world.


Why This Space Exists

Because no one is coming to rescue us from our schedules, responsibilities, or the weight we carry. But we can learn to lead in ways that nourish us, return us to ourselves, and expand what’s possible.

About Natalie R. Legrand

Born with sickle cell disease, Natalie R. Legrand has lived her life transforming limitation into leadership. By age four, she had lost most of her hearing, and later the sight in one eye — experiences that shaped her courage, clarity, and compassion. An Afro-Latina with roots in Honduras and Haiti, and a former Peace Corps volunteer in Ukraine, she has dedicated her life to building bridges across cultures and communities.

As Founder of The Nourished Leader™, Natalie helps leaders move from depletion to nourishment through capacity, clarity, and courage. Her work spans 30+ countries, with partnerships including IBM, SAP, and the United Nations Development Program. She serves on the Sickle Cell Advisory Board at Atrium Health and the ICF Charlotte Chapter Board, advancing health equity and coaching excellence.

Recognized as one of Charlotte’s Women to Know in 2025, Natalie embodies a new vision for leadership—rooted in wholeness, resilience, and purpose.
