I journal about my feelings A LOT. So I thought it would be a good idea to turn some of my journal entries into a new series called "Natalie's Notes," where I share with you what's on my heart. This week I'm talking about mental health, pandemic trauma and 2022 goals — and why I think your NEW practical should include public vulnerability.
