T-minus 5 hours ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐ŸŽ‰


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 and honestly - I don't want to.

I don't need this to go viral. I don't need a million listeners. I just need it to reach the right person. The one who needed to hear it today. The one who has been quietly carrying something and just needed someone to say - me too. I see you. You're not alone.

If that person is you - I'm so glad you're here. ๐Ÿ’Œ

If you know who that person is - please send this to them tonight.

And when you listen - if it moves you & if it resonates - a 5 star review on Spotify would mean the absolute world to me. It's how new people find us. It's how this thing grows. And I would be so grateful.

Midnight. I'll see you there. ๐ŸŽ™๏ธ

โ€” Natalie ๐Ÿ’Œ

Hi Reader, Episode 3 of Messy & Serene is live right now. ๐ŸŽ™๏ธ This week we wrote a letter to our younger selves. We talked about all the things nobody warned us about in our twenties - the rushing, the relationships, the boys our dads tried to warn us about ๐Ÿ˜„ - and everything we wish we could go back and say. And at the end? I read my letter to my twenty something self out loud. The real one. ๐Ÿ’Œ Whether you're in your twenties right now or your twenties are decades behind you - this one is for...

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. ๐Ÿ˜„ 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. ๐Ÿ’Œ Monday at midnight. ๐ŸŽ™๏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. ๐ŸŽ™๏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...
