You either walk into your story and own it,
or you stand outside your story and
hustle for your worthiness.
- Dr. Brene Brown
Welcome, fellow healing-curious human.
Stories, Tools & Community for Healing-Curious Humans is a compilation of stories by my dear friend Natalie Petersen and a brilliant cohort of author experts. It teaches us how to hold a moment of curiosity open. How to live inside the question instead of scrambling for the exit, and to honor the unknown with just enough reverence and just enough humor to keep us grounded when what we discover feels like it might swallow us whole.
This book isn’t a roadmap. It’s more like a candle. You carry it into the darker rooms of your inner world. You notice what’s there. You listen. And slowly, darkness shifts to illumination.
So, if you’ve arrived here with questions, and maybe with hope, or maybe with a little bit of both…welcome.
Let this book accompany you as you wander through the landscapes of your own healing. Let it challenge your old assumptions, spark your creativity, and give you permission to stay curious, even when it’s uncomfortable.
Because beneath all our striving and all our fear, something wise in you
already knows:
You’re not broken. You’re becoming.
And curiosity is not the threat.
It’s the way home.
May you read slowly.
May you breathe deeply.
May you trust your unfolding.
Dr. Ahriana Platten
Bestselling Author of Rites and Rituals and The Changing Story
Let life make you better, not bitter.
You need to know that you have choices in this thing called Life. Whatever is telling you to do it, whatever voice is whispering to take action in your favor, CHOOSE YOU.

WHO I AM
Hi, my name is Natalie.
​
I believe in the power of #COMMUNICATION and I was gifted with the magic of being able to communicate. I am a Communications Coach and Consultant, and my calling is partnering with human beings in personal and professional spaces to realize worth and voice, compassion and courage, value in our vulnerability.
​
I believe in the power of #CONNECTION through learned experience as much as credentials. I won't pretend to be an expert at any one of way of living, working, or surviving this life; I have walked a life of many lessons, models, and mentors, which is the very beauty I bring to the table. You'll find my experience and energy span the gamut of keywords and hot topics, industries, and insights. You will find me capable across multiple disciplines and striving daily to educate and earn respect in the areas of Emotional Intelligence, Mental Health, Wellness/Illness Spectrum, Be-Do-Have Modeling, and Multi-Potentiality.
​
I believe in the power of #CURIOSITY, and it allows me to connect with you in an authentic way through easy conversation, open-ended and thoughtful questions and reflections, and agreeable next steps. You'll find me honest, helpful, and downright dangerous as an accomplice if your mission is trying to get the very most of this life that you can.
​
I believe in the power of #COMMUNITY, no matter what. If anything else, let's connect to network, make referrals, and noodle on ideas for the greater good. Contact me.
