"Found myself standing next to Nicole Kidman ... and Bill Clinton sitting in the aisle across from me"
/Natalia had just turned 30 and was living the dream … achieving the #1 thing on her bucket list.
She found herself living and working in New York City. Working for the Australian Consulate and hanging out in a share house in SOHO, Manhattan. Daily life involved going too many incredible cultural experiences and this included one where she was “standing next to Nicole Kidman … and with Bill Clinton in the aisle across from her”.
BUT, then the dream turned into a nightmare.
Natalia caught a virus and was exposed to “toxic mould” … this triggered an illness where she got sick … and never got better.
She became trapped in a situation where it took 2 years … and spending $100,000 of her own money … just to get to a point where finally someone in the medical world was able to help.
Her experience to find a diagnosis was lengthy, stressful, expensive and totally frustrating.
