Stories, Tips and behind-the-scenes of a freelance globetrotting facilitator
Hi Reader, It's Nathy
Is it really already the end of January?! How have you been? I hope 2025 is treating you well so far!
I’m so happy to be restarting this newsletter with a fresh twist. You might have noticed the name change—I still plan to share my best facilitation tips, but I also want to take you behind the scenes of my globetrotting freelance and podcasting life. The highs, the lows, the learnings, and of course… my tips on workshop design and facilitation!
👏But today I got some exciting news that completely caught me off guard!
My podcast made the top 3 in the state of facilitation report 2025
I’m still in shock! "There is a Workshop for That" was voted among the top 3 facilitation podcasts by over 1,050 facilitators in the latest SessionLab report.
Whaaaaaaat?! 🤯

I’m beyond honored to be listed alongside legends like
The best part? I found out live during a podcast recording with Deborah Rim Moiso from SessionLab! (Cue my real-time disbelief and awkward laughter. 😂 You can see it all in the episode coming out on Feb 20!)

One of my biggest challenges (and wins) last year? Bringing the podcast to YouTube!
I had to: 🎬 Learn video editing (yes, I do it all myself!) 🎤 Upgrade my setup for better quality - Thanks to Said, the facilitainer🙏🏻 😅 Battle stage fright in front of the camera
But it was worth it! Reaching more facilitators and sharing content visually has been a game-changer.
✨ Goal for 2025: Hit 100 YouTube subscribers! If you haven’t yet, subscribe below to help me get there.
Amplify your voice: It’s a great way to share your expertise and build credibility in the space you’re in.
Connect globally: Honestly for me it's a privilege to hear stories and getting tips from expert facilitators all over the world—sooo inspiring and I honestly learned so much!
Refine your craft: Preparing episodes forces me to reflect deeply on facilitation topics, which has also improved my work immensely.
Attract client : Even if I honestly don’t use the podcast as a selling strategy, listeners reach out to me for mentoring or even recommended me to clients.
Pro Tip: If you’re thinking about starting, don’t wait for perfect. My first episode wasn’t exactly a masterpiece—but progress happens through doing and honestly it worth it!

LA WORKSHOPPEUSE Facilitator Sticky Diaries Hi Reader🙋🏼♀️ I landed in Europe 2 days ago. And the shift hit me before I even left the terminal. No eye contact at the baggage claim. Nobody offering to help. Just people staring at their phones, waiting. I stood there for a moment thinking, a fe hours ago I was in another world. What I experience In Bali, in Singapore, in Kuala Lumpur is that:Someone helps you with your bag before you realise you need help. A smile comes easy, for no particular...
LA WORKSHOPPEUSE Facilitator Sticky Diaries Hi Reader🙋🏼♀️ How have you been? I have to admit, I started this year a little more gently. And I hope you've had space to do the same. One month off from the newsletter. Two months off from the podcast (that never happened before 😅). But just because it's been quiet on the surface doesn't mean nothing's been moving behind the scenes. My Mondays are now dedicated to the Facilipreneur Mastermind, and we just wrapped up the first 3 sessions, all...
LA WORKSHOPPEUSE Facilitator Sticky Diaries Hi Reader🙋🏼♀️ Yesterday, I hosted my first live session of the year. What a joy to spend 90 minutes with facilitators joining from the US to Singapore - people at very different stages of their journey, yet asking surprisingly similar questions about their practice. To open the session, I shared a small ritual of mine. Every year, I choose one word to set the tone for the year ahead. I write it on a card and keep it on my desk. My word for 2026...
