#039 – Negotiating the New Norm with Natalie Queiroz

At the peak of a successful career in the pharmaceutical industry, Natalie Queiroz’s world suddenly shattered into a million pieces when she was jumped from behind by a man in disguise and violently stabbed 24 times with a 12-inch kitchen carving knife.  She was 8 months pregnant at the time.

Determined to never give in, Natalie fought hard.  Against every single medical odd, she somehow survived.

But her world continued to collapse when the identity of the disguised attacker was revealed – her partner, a man she had known for 25 years. He had never shown signs of violence prior to the attack.

On this episode of The Workplace Communication Podcast, Natalie Queiroz shares how she managed to get from the darkest of black holes to carving out a completely new life where she’s making the difference in life she’d always deep down hoped for.
