Hi Reader, I want you to think about something this week. If you could sit down with your younger self - the one in her twenties, maybe younger - and just talk to her. What would you say? Monday we're going there. Jessica Simpson heels & the pavement that I ate in them and all. ๐ I also read a letter to my younger self at the end of this episode and I'll be honest - it got me. I think it might get you too. ๐ Monday at midnight. ๐๏ธ โ Natalie P.S. โ Start thinking about what YOU would say to...

Hi Reader, Episode 2 of Messy & Serene is live right now. ๐๏ธ This week we talked about the audience in our heads. The one we're performing for every single day - getting dressed for, holding it together for, showing up for - even when nobody is actually watching. We also talked about the seasons of trial after trial. The ones that feel like nothing is happening and everything is falling apart. And I got really honest about something - there was a season where I was so angry and so lost that I...

Hi Reader, It's live. Messy & Serene Episode 1 - The Messy Middle - dropped yesterday at midnight and I am still processing all of the feelings honestly. Building something this personal and putting it out into the world is one of the scariest things I have ever done. And knowing you were on the other side of it made all the difference. If you've already listened โ thank you. From the bottom of my heart. I hope it landed for you the way I prayed it would. ๐ If you haven't had a chance yet โ...

Hi Reader, 5 hours until midnight. I am sitting here and I genuinely don't know how to explain what I'm feeling right now. It's excitement and terror and gratitude and vulnerability all at the same time and I think that's probably one of the most honest thing I've said all week. This is one of the most vulnerable things I have ever done. Like actually. I recorded my voice. I told my story. I cried on mic and left it in. And in 5 hours it's going to be out in the world and I can't take it back...

Hi Reader, Tomorrow. I'm not going to say a lot today because honestly I'm just sitting with the feeling of it. This has been one of the scariest and most meaningful things I've ever done. And the fact that you're here - that you signed up, that you're waiting with me- I don't take that lightly. Set your alarm. Pour your coffee. Or if you're a night owl - it drops at midnight and we'll be waiting for you. ๐๏ธ One small ask - once you listen, if it resonates with you, would you leave a 5 star...

Hi Reader, Okay I have to tell you something. I cried recording this episode. Not a little emotional - like actually had to stop and collect myself. Multiple times. I almost edited it all out. And then I decided not to cut everything... Because I think the realness of that moment is exactly what someone needs to hear. You'll know it when you get to it. 2 days. I'm so ready for you to hear this. ๐๏ธ๐ โ Natalie Come hang with me while you wait: Follow on TikTok Follow on Instagram Unsubscribe ยท...

Hi Reader, 3 days!!! I'll give you a little hint about what Episode 1 covers - without giving too much away. We're talking about the messy middle. What it actually feels like to be in between who you were and who you're becoming. The pressure to rush through hard seasons. Burnout culture. Soul care. And a challenge that I think is going to move something in you. I recorded it in the corner of my office. With my pink mic. In the middle of my own messy season. So no, it is not polished. And I...

Hi Reader, 4 days. I don't know what today looks like for you. Maybe it's super good. Maybe it's really hard. Maybe you're just quietly holding a lot and nobody around you knows it. Either way - I'm glad you're here. And I want you to know that whatever you walked into this week carrying - you are not the only one. Not even close... Monday. 7AM. Press play. ๐๏ธ โ Natalie ๐ Come hang with me while you wait: Follow on TikTok Follow on Instagram Unsubscribe ยท Preferences
