In this episode [EP 39] of UnCeiling You, host Dr. Natalie Luke talks with Bart Merrell, who shares how he faced some of life’s toughest challenges and still found ways forward.

If you’ve ever felt like your skills aren’t special, or like you don’t have what it takes—this conversation is for you. Bart shows that you don’t need to start big. You can begin right where you are, with what you already know and do every day.

Together, Natalie and Bart talk about:

• How community and mentors can help you see strengths you may be overlooking in yourself.
• Why being prepared—bit by bit—can make life’s challenges feel less overwhelming.
• How taking small, safe risks can open doors you never imagined.

This episode is about more than money—it’s about realizing you already have value. Even if you doubt yourself now, you’ll learn how everyday experiences can be turned into opportunities, and how setbacks can become stepping stones toward something better.

Because you don’t have to believe 100% in yourself yet. You just have to believe enough to take the next small step.
