Meet Nat

Hi, there! I’m Natalie West – online teacher, world traveler, and growth mindset guru. I love true crime documentaries, Japanese food, and all things pink!

In 2017, I left everything behind to travel full time. My free-spirited ways have taken me on breathtaking adventures that I never imagined possible! 

I spent two months in Nicaragua and met the love of my life. We spent four months long distance while I went to South America and Asia. In 2018, we moved to Spain to escape political unrest and then back to Nicaragua in 2019 to begin the very long visa application process. America here we come!

The Blog

It’s been an exciting period of my life filled with adventure and spontaneity. Yet, as we began to prepare for our transition to America, I found myself craving different things from life: stability, routine, and organization.

You see, I was what you might call a hot mess.

I hadn’t tracked my spending in years. 

Investing was a mystery to me. 

The workout programs I endlessly purchased were never finished. 

My morning routine was non-existent. 

My workflow consisted of a mad scramble to get things done.

Sound familiar?

If it does, you’re in the right place! 

I got tired of being tired, of being a disorganized mess, and of feeling like I was one bad month away from disaster (financial or otherwise).

So I started a blog.

Pretty Little Grind is about making changes that bring shiny, sparkly joy to my life.

Changes like treating my body right, treating my finances right, and achieving my most ambitious goals!

Does that excite you like it excites me?!

If so, the Grind Tribe is the perfect place for you.
