ABOUT NATALIE
Hi, I am Natalie, founder of BeMoreMom, and a Brit living in New York. By day, I am a lawyer, and I have three children and two dogs. As well as being a mom (or mum as we say across the pond!), I am a wife, a friend, a daughter, a sister, and a CEO (of our household), which includes being an organizer and tidy-er, a launderer (not a very good one!), a chef, an unpaid Uber driver, a mediator, a dog walker, a meal planner, a medic, and a carer- to name but a few roles!!
MY STORY
After feeling lost once my first child was born 13 years ago, I started on a journey of rediscovery and self development to reclaim and redefine who I am, within and outside being a mom. I have read over two hundred mindset and self development books, and I have trained hundreds of women on these topics. I have attended talks by Mel Robbins, Rachel Hollis, Steve Peters and Jen Sincero and I have taken multiple self development, mindset and money courses.
This has led to increased confidence, an identity outside of being a mom, and time management skills which allow me to dedicate more time to self care and passion projects. It has also allowed me to be a better, more pleasant (!) and patient mom and to set a good example for my children when it comes to managing emotions. I find that when I set good boundaries and take time to BeMore and do the things I love, take time to Be (alone!), I am much happier to BeMoreMom.
ABOUT ME
I love (and make regular time for) pilates and yoga, reading, manicures, dinners with my girls, alone time, date nights with my hubby, trips home (just me!) to see my family, and individual time with each child. These activities allow me to be fulfilled, to feel like me, and they make me happy. As a result, I am able to cope with and enjoy (for the most part!) the many roles and responsibilities we all juggle as SAH and working moms.
I have been told I am a positive force of passion and purpose, which are qualities that have been developed daily over years. Rediscovering our identity and what lights us up as moms is not talked about enough and is a journey we can all go on. Little and often is the key to success. I hope I can help you find your passion and purpose and rediscover parts of yourself outside of being a mom.
