Natalie Elliott Handy
From the outside, my life appeared to be fairly perfect - great job, wonderful husband, close family and friends, and of course, amazing dogs. On the inside, I was burning the candle at both ends, working 12 hours a day, 6 days a week. My response to any request was always, “No problem. Happy to help.”
It wasn’t until my husband Jason’s cancer diagnosis in March 2022 that I finally confessed to myself that I could no longer keep living this life. In those darkest hours, I reconnected with God and in doing so, found my true self. I acknowledged and accepted my imperfections and gave myself permission to love “me”, flaws and all.
My mission is simple - Share stories and experiences that inspire and uplift others and hopefully, make them laugh a little. To be a cheerleader, encouraging each and every person to be true to themselves first, while supporting those they love. And of course, make new friends along the way.
