Welcome to the Women in Safety podcast, where we connect, support, and inspire women in the health and safety industry. In this episode, I’m sitting down with the remarkable Natalee Johnston, a woman whose career path is as unique as it is inspiring. From her early days in naval aviation to becoming a respected leader in health and safety, Natalee’s story is one of resilience, growth, and empowerment. Natalee shares what it was like navigating gender dynamics in a male-dominated military environment and how those experiences shaped her approach to safety management. We also talk about her passion for building strong safety cultures through authentic storytelling—because making safety relatable and human is how real change happens. You’ll hear Natalee’s insights into understanding human behaviour, why continuous learning matters, and how recognising your mental and emotional state can impact decision-making. We also discuss the future of health and safety, including how technology like AI is shaping the way we approach safety practices. Whether you’re new to the field or a seasoned professional, this conversation offers practical advice and relatable moments that remind us why networking, courage, and authenticity are so important in building successful careers in health and safety. Tune in to feel inspired, motivated, and ready to be part of a community that celebrates your success. What part of Natalee’s journey resonated with you the most?
