Let me ask you something: Have you started planning your entire day around bathroom locations? Do you wake up multiple times every night feeling like you need to pee? Maybe you've noticed a little leakage when you laugh, cough, or do that box jump at...
💌 Notes from Natalie I’m not coming in hot with a giant list of goals or a “new year new you” speech because honestly… I’m not new. And neither are you lol. New Year’s Eve looked a little different for us this year. And if I’m being...
For years, I've watched midlife women battle their own minds…fighting intrusive thoughts about money, aging, their bodies, and whether they've done enough as mothers. These thoughts feel relentless, consuming, impossible to escape. And the advice we've all received? Meditate them away. Replace them with positive...
💌 Notes from Natalie End of year is such an interesting time, right? I don’t know about you, but even when I do not intentionally sit down with a journal and a candle and say “let me reflect,” my brain does it anyway. It’s like an uninvited...
As someone who has navigated my own midlife health challenges, from digestive issues to stress-induced nervous system dysregulation, I've learned firsthand that what's happening in our bodies during this phase of life is far more complex than most people realize. That nightly glass of wine...
💌 Notes from Natalie I honestly cannot believe it has been two years. Two years ago today, I was recovering from my explant surgery. Breast implants. Five sets. Over 33 years. And it all started when I was 19.Yes. Nineteen. A literal teenager making a “forever” decision. What could possibly go...

So… confession. I am not decorating this year. Not because I turned into the Holiday Scrooge. Not because I’m boycotting twinkle lights. But because we are going to be in California so much this month that the thought of hauling out bins, fluffing garland, and wrestling with a...
Have you noticed yourself holding your phone at arm's length just to read a text message? You're not imagining it, and you're definitely not alone. If you're in your 40s or 50s and suddenly feeling betrayed by your eyes, I want you to know that...
This time of year is always such an interesting in-between zone. Thanksgiving leftovers still in the fridge…decorations halfway up…and I’m over here craving quiet time like it’s a hobby. I don’t know where you fall, but it seems like this season brings out two types of...
Have you ever wondered why intimacy feels like just another chore on your endless to-do list? If you're lying awake at night feeling guilty about avoiding your partner, exhausted by the thought of being touched, or convinced something's fundamentally wrong with your body – you're...
I hope you had a great Thanksgiving if you celebrate. Mine was super quiet and honestly kind of perfect. 🙏 I’m in San Diego this week soaking up my favorite hikes and trails. Yes, I drove. All the way from Arizona. Six hours of desert, billboards, cactus...
