Meet Natalie Susi, your Pavlok Happiness Coach
Natalie Susi - Teacher. Writer. Entrepreneur.
Natalie Susi is a teacher by heart, a writer by trade, and an entrepreneur by choice.
A former English and writing teacher, Natalie Susi founded Bare Organic Mixers after she was laid off in the CA
budget cuts from her job at San Diego State University.
In 2009, Natalie decided to explore the world of entrepreneurialism when she recognized a large gap in the
marketplace for low-calorie, all-natural cocktails. She navigated the sourcing, bottling, manufacturing, and
distribution process and created Bare Organic Mixers. In 2014, she sold the company to a leading natural
foods company. Natalie and Bare were featured in some notable press outlets to include: Forbes.com (Top 10
Female Entrepreneurs to Watch in SD), Pacific Magazine (Top 30 Under 30) The LA Times, E! Online, People
Magazine, and Bravo's, The Millionaire Matchmaker.
In 2015, Natalie exited the company, so she could return to education, but this time the content she wanted
to teach was much different than English literature.
She returned to education with a unique experience of how to build a business with limited resources and no
previous business education. Like so many other first time entrepreneurs, she spent 6 years learning all of the
life lessons the hard way through her biggest failures and mistakes. During this learning process, Natalie
became fascinated with human behavior and psychology and concepts in the personal development space like
how to recognize your blind spots, how to overcome limiting beliefs, and how to get out of what she coins, a
“ditch moment.”
In 2017, Natalie combined her educational background as a teacher and her experience as an entrepreneur to
create, What Have I Learned, a company that provides personal development coaching and business
consulting that specializes in helping people overcome their limiting beliefs, so they can step into who they are
meant to be and achieve the life and career they’ve always wanted. Natalie is also a professor at the
University of California, San Diego where she teaches a course called The Pursuit of Happiness, and she just
partnered with Pavlok, a behavior change company that helps people change their habits for good, to create a
Happiness Program for their platform of 60,000 users.
