About the Author
Natalie Dawn Hanson has a heart for mommas, especially those whose joy, delight, and wonder in this most important role have been overshadowed by the unexpected and surmounting demands and challenges that come with motherhood. She aches for them because she was one of them. Now, as a speaker, author, and coach who by the magnificent grace of God reclaimed motherhood and it's joy, but like you, yearns to do this mothering thing right and understands the real and raw truths and struggles of the roles we play, Natalie vulnerably shares her story of transformation in hopes to inspire and empower other women to passionately seek God so they can claim freedom, embrace unshakable joy, renew their divine purpose as a precious daughter of the Most High God, and raise up the next generation of Christ followers.In addition, through the wisdom of great mentors and Jesus--the greatest teacher who ever lived--Natalie has a passion to equip moms with Christ-centered, practical, and applicable skills and strategies not only to confidently connect with and correct their children but to passionately and organically pass on the baton of faith. As an advanced trainer in the Nurtured Heart Approach® and owner of Breathe Peace Consulting, Natalie trains and coaches parents, counselors, teachers, and anyone who does life with kids on how to love them with big, bold, Christ-like love.Natalie loves connecting with people. She leads a community of women in online Bible studies, speaks at schools, churches, women's retreats and conferences, and has been known to guest preach on Sunday mornings. Apart from being wife and mom, sharing the messages on her heart with others is when she feels most alive and most in tune with who God created her to be. Natalie has said yes to her call to lead a movement of moms so in love with Jesus they can't help but pass it on to the next generation of believers. It's truly her life's joy, humble privilege, and divine purpose to share Him with others. To those who do life with her, Natalie is simply a chauffeuring mom who loves and relies on Jesus (and coffee, nutritional food, and exercise) to get her through the crazy adventure of motherhood. Natalie adores friends and good conversation, is committed to her family, involved in church and school, and struggles like we all do to manage a household daily requiring cooking, cleaning, and oh so much laundry. But at the end of a long day, she is no longer crying herself to sleep, instead she's hopeful and grateful for this beautiful, yet messy thing we call life. Natalie lives on one of Minnesota's beautiful lakes and is a wife to a farmer--her hubby, Darin who she's still wildly in love with--and momma to four lively, lovely boys who teach her more about extravagant love and grace every day. It's in the loud, crazy and quiet, calm moments at home where her most important ministry happens.
