Dr. Allen Lycka Interviews Natalie Ledwell
Introduction
Dr. Allen Lycka welcomes his special guest, Natalie Ledwell, a best-selling author and co-founder of Mind Movies, a revolutionary online personal development company. She is a member of the Canfield Transformation Leadership Council, the Association of Transformational Leaders, and the Evolutionary Business Council. Natalie has impacted over 10 million people worldwide, and today she shares her journey of success and personal growth.
The Birth of Mind Movies
Natalie shares how Mind Movies was developed in 2006 as an accidental discovery. She recalls struggling financially despite being a student of personal development since age 21. A friend introduced her to The Secret, which emphasized visualization and emotional alignment. Inspired, she and her husband created a simple slideshow with affirmations, images, and music. After receiving positive feedback, they launched a website and a YouTube video explaining how others could create their own Mind Movies.
The Challenges and Breakthroughs
Natalie describes how their entrepreneurial journey took off after moving to the U.S. in 2008, attending an internet marketing seminar, and joining a mastermind group. Despite launching their business during the economic crisis and accumulating $120,000 in credit card debt, their first product launch generated $700,000. Their success attracted personal development leaders like Jack Canfield and Bob Proctor, leading to powerful collaborations.
Overcoming Obstacles
Natalie and Dr. Lycka discuss the realities of entrepreneurship, emphasizing persistence despite setbacks. PayPal froze their account with $500,000, nearly causing bankruptcy. However, their unwavering vision kept them focused. Natalie highlights the importance of clarity, belief, and overcoming limiting beliefs.
How to Initiate Real Change
For those feeling stuck, Natalie suggests shifting energy by focusing on thoughts and emotions. She explains that gratitude is a powerful tool to raise one’s frequency and attract success. By appreciating what one already has and being thankful for future achievements, individuals can shift their mindset and manifest positive outcomes.
Daily Practices for Success

- Gratitude practice
- Meditation
