Welcome, friend :)

Hi, I’m Natalie.

Sharing honestly what it looks like to be a 30-something queer, divorced, single mom while unlearning religious programming.

Forever advocating for self-love + healing.

Author. Photographer. Justice Seeker. Advocate.

You’re here (most likely) because…

  • You’re a divorced and/or single mom

  • You’re deconstructing Christianity/religious programming (including the damage it’s done to your sexuality)

  • You want to tear down the patriarchy, disrupt systems of oppression, burn racism + sexism + cissexism

  • You’re an adoptive mom

  • You’ve hired me for photography and/or social engagement

  • You read my Memoir or my Children’s Book

  • You’re someone who knows me in real life and confused about “What’s going on with Natalie” or wanting to spy on me and try to use it against me

Whatever reason you’re here, I hope you find yourself stumbling through pages of grace, oceans of love + hope, and space to be yourself.

Blogging | Podcasting

Once upon a time, I blogged all the freaking time. I mean seriously, I feel bad for my old MySpace and Facebook feeds. Now I don’t write enough. I have written + spoken on countless platforms, big and small. In all the essays I write, you can count on me being honest + vulnerable + sharing some piece of myself and life.

Instagram is my main spot these days
