Day one of uni, 20 years old and a positive pregnancy test: The Natal Naturopath founder Melanie Nolan on what pushed her forward

20 years old, day one of her university degree, and a positive pregnancy test. And a few years later, twins, a separation, and a period of solo motherhood. If that sounds like enough to push university and starting your own business to the side, that's because it is. But nothing was going to stop The Natal Naturopath founder Melanie Nolan.

Here, she shares her incredible story. From finishing a university degree as a single mother of three to building her business. From hoping to sell her first shipment in the first two years to selling out in just three months. From moments of loneliness to incredible strength.
