Welcome to the "Simmer Down Series"...
Hey loves,
To both familiar faces and new friends joining this journey, I'm Noémie. While some of you may know me from various facets of my life—whether as a content creator, a devoted girl mom, a lawyer, or perhaps as Kier Gaines’s wife from the digital world—there's a layer to my identity that hasn't been in the spotlight for a while. Beyond these roles lies my true passion: I'm a professional writer at heart, skilled in distilling complex ideas into something meaningful and accessible for everyone.
My expertise lies in analysis and synthesis; I've spent years unraveling intricate legal and entertainment issues, transforming them into clear insights. This skill didn't just fuel my career; it was my lifeline, supporting me through thick and thin. Yet, as life took its turns—with my husband's career soaring and my days increasingly filled with the loving duties of family life—I found myself drifting from the very essence of my identity: writing.
The shift was gradual. First, the hustle of daily responsibilities began to overshadow my "me-time," then content creation took a backseat, limited only to obligatory posts. Before I knew it, I felt stuck, disconnected from the part of me that thrived on expression and connection through words.
It took a raw, tearful conversation with my therapist to confront the truth I'd been avoiding: I missed writing deeply. It wasn't just a job; it was where I felt most myself. My blog had been my sanctuary, a space where I'd first carved out my voice and connected with an audience that resonated with my authenticity—reaching milestones like hitting 10k on Instagram, even before the whirlwind of viral videos.
This realization sparked a desire for change, igniting a commitment to return to my roots and embrace the medium that has always been my truest form of self-expression. So, I'm stepping back into this space, not just as a former lawyer or the woman behind the scenes but as Noémie, the writer eager to share, grow, and connect with you all once again.
Through this blog series, I invite you on a journey that weaves together the threads of my life—past and present—into a tapestry of stories aimed at inspiring, educating, and resonating with those who find themselves at similar crossroads. This series is more than just a collection of posts; it's a declaration of finding one's voice amidst the noise, of carving out space for personal fulfillment, and of embracing the multifaceted roles we play.
So, here I am, raw and unfiltered, ready to embark on this adventure with you. I hope you'll stay a while, share in the discoveries, and find pieces of your own story reflected in mine.
With all my love and sincerity,
Noémie
