you're telling me i had this the whole time?
Reader - 10k steps a day is my new personality. I don’t know when this happened. One day I was minding my own business and the next I was power walking laps at the track while voice noting my to do list. Outside, I've been hitting the pavement in my Blundstones. Which, if you live in a winter city, you know is a mildly problematic choice. There have been close calls and ice. There has been a moment where I almost slid on my ass while answering a Slack message. I told myself my reward for 10k...
it's my ten year FAMiversary
Reader - 119 days. That was how long my very first FAM cycle was, and I started charting it exactly ten years ago today. That cycle was my initiation. Because when you’re on day 94 and still waiting to ovulate, you start wondering if your ovaries work at all. Over the last ten years, I’ve had cycles inside cycles. Long follicular phases that felt like they lasted forever. Months where I was convinced something was wrong. Cycles where I celebrated ovulation because the cycle would finally come...
keeping promises to myself even when my wallet is stolen
Reader - So I unintentionally gave someone a $626 shopping spree at the cannabis store, grocery store, corner store, gas station and liquidation centre. I dropped my wallet somewhere between getting bubble wrap and packing boxes for our collectible doll selling side hustle. And when I think about what's inside my wallet and what needs to be replaced, the cards aren't even really a big deal (just annoying). It's the: vintage brown $2 bill my grandpa gave me a movie ticket stub from 2014 4 half...
are methods over in 2026?
Reader - I’m sitting on the floor surrounded by tiny objects that used to be the most important things in the world: A miniature clay oven with a loaf of bread inside.A painted ceramic water canteen the size of my thumb.A little chicken, a wooden cage, 2 tiny eggs, a lantern.A foraging kit with a tiny basket and chilies and flowers. This weekend my sister and I are unboxed tiny cherished items that haven’t seen daylight in, twenty five years? Growing up, American Girl was a FULL FAMILY EVENT...
january faves!
Reader - I'm doing something new! In an effort to cheat on my newsletter content plan of writing an email every week for 2026, I'm doing a roundup of my FAVOURITE things on the last Monday of every month! Well friend, without further ado, here are my January faves! If you loved this, let me know! How are we nearing FEB?? Becoming a batch cooking baddie: like you may have read in my knife episode, batching has become my new personality. I counted what we batched in the last 2 weeks, and we...
cuts like a laser
Reader - There are a few (okay quite a few) things I have very strong opinions about: Yorkshire Gold Black tea, making sourdough with bread flour, sleeping in a cold room with a heavy blanket, whole milk, having candy in my car, cappucinos, colour coordinated google calendars, sleep hygiene... ...and sharp knives. My 2026 resolution is: quadrouple it. If I'm going through the work to make one serving of vegetarian pot pie, I may as well make four. Same for bolognese. And chickpea curry soup....
this newsletter is getting a tiny upgrade
Reader - Before I got the I've landed text, I got a follow notification. The profile was a business speaker coach and entrepreneur who sent me a DM along the lines of: I just met your dad on a plane to Calgary and he told me about what you do! I'm super excited to follow you and can't wait to connect! (or something along those lines Instagram is currently Bricked on my phone so I can't pull up the original DM) Then, shortly after, a message from my dad: He explained that he spent the two...
cult of wellness reality check
Reader - January 2021's seed cycling... ...was 2022's bone broth ...was 2023's protein lattes ...was 2024's greens powder ...was 2025's creatine. All new year new me attempts to capitalize on women's hormone imbalance and cycle irregularity insecurities. I want to be really clear about something: none of these things are inherently bad. The problem isn’t the food. The problem is that these hormone balance trends are sold as magic pill shortcuts to perfect cycles. They rely on the idea that...
and the 2025 nat awards go to...
Reader - Last year I did a roundup of the habits, systems, products and mindset shifts that changed my life, and you loved it. So all year I've been making mental bookmarks of things that were going to make the list this year. So here they are. The 2026 Nat Awards. Let's get right to it shall we? Best Boring But Life Changing Domestic Upgrade: These lidded ice cube trays. I didn’t expect ice cube trays to change my life so dramatically. And yet. Always having ice on hand means iced coffee,...
i'm gonna be smug for a sec
Reader Coming to you deep from the luteal trenches: You might be thinking, Nat! You were just luteal! Back when you were launching your feeling luteal crewnecks! Well, yes, I JUST was. Is this what it feels like to be regularly cycling? I am going to be smug about it because I can. Because suddenly my cycles are behaving and I've had two regular cycles in the last two months!! Am I also going to be smug about the fact that I had 100% attendance and went to all 42 workouts since September in...
