After I finished recording Episode 21 (Haven't listened to it? Click here), I kept going. I decided I wanted to also share sixteen hopes and wishes and ideas that I wanted to encourage my new 16-year-old with as he enters this new year of his life.

As a bonus episode for you this week, I'm going to share that with all of you - they're the hopes I have for my son, for your children, for you. I hope these ideas give you a little something that helps make the load lighter or gives you a little inspiration and encouragement as you go through your week.

I'm so grateful for you! 

Today is a very special day. It's my oldest son Raleigh's 16th birthday! For today's show, I'm going to share 16 short lessons I've learned over the last 16 years being a mother. I hope these little lessons are helpful as we head into summer and having more face time with our kids home from school.

It feels like everyone is talking about what it is and how to do it, and you may be wondering –

What is it, REALLY?

And how do I practice mindfulness in a space full of chaos?

On today’s episode, my sweet friend Macy Robison is asking me a whole bunch of questions that you were kind enough to submit via my Instagram account. We’re talking about what mindfulness is, how to practice it in your every day and why you should, and I’m also sharing some practical ways you can incorporate some of these tips.

After you listen and start to try some of these practices, share what you’re doing on social using the hashtag #showuponpurpose so we can find you and cheer you on, and make you eligible for the mindfulness happy mail package I’m giving away.

“What matters is finding these mindful moments in the in between. In the space between stimulus and response, making that choice to be present.”

When it comes to engaging life we can often be confused about how to engage it. When do we listen? When do we speak? When do we assert ourselves and when do we support others?

Sometimes self-improvement becomes an endless list of more things to add to our already growing to-do list. Often, the best Action step to growth is Subtraction. Making the room for growth is the crucial first step to successfully moving towards your goal.

Natalie interviews author, blogger, and podcaster Miranda Anderson about her journey towards practical minimalism and what it means to live a life with space.

Often, the greatest violator of your boundaries is yourself. How do you set your life up in a way that you are paying attention to the signs that point to how you are self-sabotaging your boundaries?

Natalie walks us through how she’s dealt with this struggle. Sticking to your strict boundaries while maintaining a gracious attitude towards yourself and those around you.
