Meet Natalie | Natalie Rosado (original) (raw)

I told my kindergarten class that Santa didn’t exist.

I would never want to spoil anyone’s fun or rob them of their joy, but at the naive age of 5, the social nicety of letting others believe in this magical childhood myth were a bit over my head. I was a natural truth teller. I saw through the (in this case adorable) facade and I thought that by helping others see the light, I was doing something good.

My truth telling hasn’t always been well received, but it’s an unignorable part of myself that I’ve come to wholeheartedly embrace.

I can finally feel a pivot in others who are thirsting for a more honest, authentic, stripped down life. Ready to set “fake it till you make it” and “prim and proper” aside to feel something deeper and be part of something bigger. I see women craving freedom from societal or self-imposed pressure so they have room to explore their purpose. I hear women owning their voice and stepping into more aligned yet less restrictive roles.

This is our time to embrace the truth of who we were meant to be and reap the rewards of living as that woman, now. I’m ready - who’s with me?
