A single mom to three boys working hard to live my truest life. I hope as I share the beauty, the gratitude, the grief, the hard…you find inspiration + hope to show up to your life as honestly as possible.
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.
“Don’t let the worst of what happens to you stop you from chasing + getting the things you want, desire, and ultimately deserve.”

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.
