As a wife, mom, and worship leader, one of my biggest passions is to encourage mothers in their calling, and inspire children to be lifelong worshipers of Jesus. Two years ago I co-founded an online ministry for moms called Thrive Moms, where we seek to encourage and empower imperfect moms with the perfect grace and love of Christ.

When I’m not writing or leading worship for Thrive, I spend my days fixing up our old 1930s cabin with my very handy (and handsome) husband, exploring our 4 acres with my kids, and writing music. I'm in the process of recording my first EP, which will release sometime this fall! You can find my thoughts on God’s heart for moms in Thrive Moms weekly publication, “Momentum”, and you can read my personal blog and hear samples of my music at nathaliehope.com.

We had a great time chatting with Nathalie.  We jump right in and ask Nathalie what her definition of success is:

"For me to be successful I really have to know who I am and I have to know the season of life that I'm in. and what I mean by that is, I think each of us were meant to leave a fingerprint here on the earth, before we leave it, to leave a legacy... and I think the only way you can do that is by knowing who you are, your gifts, your talents, your passions, what makes you tick... and when you know who you are then you are really able to walk that out in confidence."

We loved chatting with Nathalie about embracing the season of life that you are in.

"When you know who you are and the season of life that you are in you can be a good steward of those gifts. Success changes over the years for everyone, it looks different in different seasons. It's more about who I am becoming... than what I am achieving."

We also chat about different seasons of motherhood.

"What motherhood has really taught me is that life happens in seasons... you go through different seasons of motherhood with your kids."
