We are looking at a season that may be radically relieved by a year from now. This post was such an encouragement. Like the sight of loved ones' waiting for you with water and big cheers a mile from the finish line. Thank you for vulnerably sharing your own life and growth with us. It's always an encouragement. Your leadership is a gift, Natalie.
Also, SO PLEASED about the sellout! What both NBD and AA are doing to reallocate American spending to purchase ethical, sustainable products, made by women so they can empower and support themselves - you all are doing such good work for humanity. This is the Kingdom showing up on earth. Thank you.
You have a decade on my husband and I; already feel like the last three years have flown by! Sounds like the most beautiful way to spend it together.
And more Natalie soap boxes please! I look forward to winding down on your Substack with a glass of wine after the babies are in bed. It’s my dangling carrot through bedtime routines 😅
& cream! I can never turn down the dreamy cream fits. Even though blue is my favorite color the cream is just so elevated and classic to me. 🤍 makes me feel so feminine which is refreshing after spending all day in workout clothes.
Love the encouragement! I also recently came out of a hard season and it is a good reminder that life ebbs and flows 🫶🏻 A Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes is so good! I’m reading a biography on Dietrich Bonhoeffer right now.
A wonderful reminder. Great to hear you are in such a better place! I'm personally so happy you've reopened your design business :) sounds like a great week - now go blast Taylor all day at the office!
I love this. Thank you for sharing. It’s so important to have reminders that we can switch gears; a difficult time doesn’t mean a beautiful life isn’t ahead of the experience. Your confident, effortless cool, style is inspirational.
I was laid off on March 17th 2023 and the baby that’s currently snoozing on my chest was born on March 19th 2024. Still don’t have a job, but I do have the most precious baby. A lot can change in a year and it’s ok to not rush into what comes next.
Appreciate the encouragement - especially when it’s so easy to see beautiful strangers online and assume everything is perfect and all ventures are successful. Just finished Tom Lake by Ann Patchett about a mother sharing a story of her youth with her now grown daughters. As a mom of young girls it helped me imagine what might be and I appreciated the contrast between young love and steady partnership.

Thank you, Kylie! I'm so, so glad you're enjoying it.
Very much appreciate your reflections on your business journey. In a business partnership myself and considering "marriage therapy." Its a journey!
Oof, yes, business partnerships are no joke. Wouldn't do another one to be honest!
