Hi, I’m Nathalie. I’m 46 and a single mom to my grown-up son, who still lives at home with me. We recently had to say goodbye to our sweet dog, so now it’s just the two of us. My son’s father passed away years ago, so it’s been just me holding it all together.

For 22 years, I built my life completely around motherhood. And while I don’t regret being a full-time mom, I know I’d probably do things differently if I had the chance. Somewhere along the way, I kind of lost myself. Everything I did was about what was best for my son. I wanted to give him everything I had missed in my own childhood and, honestly, I think I went a little overboard.
Now that I’m 46 and my son is creating his own life, I’m left asking: Who am I outside of being a mom? What are my strengths? What do I want for myself in the years ahead, without that caregiving role?
I’m at this point in life where I’m making (and still need to make) a lot of decisions to find myself again. I’ve already started working through childhood trauma and slowly finding my way back into society, but I know I’ve still got a long road ahead. That’s why I want to share my journey back to myself with you,nhoping that if you’re going through something similar, my story might inspire you. And maybe we can even learn from each other. This blog is also a part of my journey!
Fall is my Season
Fall has always been my season. I love everything about it: the colors, the food, the cozy time indoors, rain on the window, the wind, all of it. I’m just an autumn soul at heart.
And since fall is also a season of letting go, it felt like the perfect time to start this blog. That’s why I chose the name Fall is my Season.
Here you’ll find posts about personal growth, lifestyle, recipes, and of course….. all things fall 🍁
