Welcome to True Northey
After nearly two decades of wild opportunities, beautiful mistakes, reinventions, detours, and “what in the actual hell am I doing?” moments, I’ve finally built a place that feels like home.
For years, I created separate rooms for every piece of my life. Country music. Social media. Interviews. Reviews. Influencer stuff. Other people’s stories, other people’s songs, other people’s dreams. And honestly, I loved it because a big part of who I am has always been holding up a magnifying glass to the world and saying, “Look at this. Look at them. Look at that story. Isn’t that something?”
But somewhere along the way, I realized it was time for all these pieces to live together in one place!!
Messy, Meaningful, and Mildly Unhinged
I wanted somewhere to put it all. Music, book, healing, marriage, humor, mistakes, opinions, health, happiness, and all the “did I really just say that out loud?” moments that seem to follow me around like they have my home address.
That’s what True Northey is.
It’s about finding direction in this crazy, big-little world. It’s about doing your thing, even if your thing is messy, late, loud, tender, hilarious, still under construction, or currently sitting in a pile of notes you swore you were going to organize three months ago.
And if that sounds specific, please know I am absolutely talking about myself.
What You’ll Find Here
Around here, you’ll find a little bit of everything: books I’m reading, music I’m loving, life with my husband, future podcast episodes, dogs, recovery, real-life stuff, and probably a few of you crazies out there.
Just kidding.
Mostly.
This is going to be sassy, honest, from the hip, from the heart, and occasionally straight from the “I probably should have kept that in my journal” department.
I’m not trying to build one of those perfectly curated internet places where everything looks filtered, polished, and overly arranged. I want this to feel like a real place. A place where I can tell the truth, laugh at myself, talk about what I love, admit what I’m still figuring out, and maybe make someone else feel a little less alone in the middle of their own beautiful mess.
So if you have mismatched mugs, emotional support snacks, half-finished ideas, or at least one drawer you refuse to explain to anyone, you’re probably in the right place.
The Scenic Route
I don’t know exactly what part of life I’m in right now. 3rd Act? New chapter? Plot twist? Intermission with snacks? No clue.
But I do know this: I’m done waiting for permission to be myself out loud.
I’m done keeping every piece of me in a separate little box so it makes sense to everyone else. I’m done acting like the messy parts, funny parts, healing parts, loud parts, soft parts, and still-figuring-it-out parts can’t all belong to the same person.
They can.
They do.
And listen, I know that sounds dramatic, but sometimes life is dramatic. Sometimes healing is dramatic. Sometimes starting over is dramatic. Sometimes just deciding to be honest about who you are feels like a full-blown movie scene.
Except instead of perfect lighting and wind in my hair, I’m usually in workout clothes, reheating coffee, and wondering why one of my dogs is staring at me like I owe her money.
Still, it counts.
So Here We Go
Welcome to True Northey.
I hope you find something here that makes you laugh, think, feel seen, or say, “Yep. I’ve thought that too. I just didn’t know how to say it.”
That’s kind of my favorite thing to do.
Say the thing…
Love it!
THANK YOU! Appreciate you taking time to read it! 😀
Love the way this is written already!! I feel like I can always relate to it☺️. Loving your risk of vulnerability and raw self 🥰. Perfectly imperfect is a title I believe we should all embrace…. While also working on the things we want to improve about ourselves! Many times I myself have wanted to tell a story of my life experiences and why I’m the person I am.. and maybe one day I will😬. For now I am excited to see what you got coming and the inspiration you can bring to a lot of women out people in general🥰. Waiting with excitement!❤️🫶🏼
Thank you so much. This means a lot to me, especially because being vulnerable and raw still feels a little scary, even when it also feels right. And yes, perfectly imperfect is something we probably all need to embrace more while still doing the work to grow. Also, I hope you do tell your story one day, because I think we all underestimate how much our lived experiences can help someone else feel less alone. I’m so glad you’re here for this.
This is awesome Jessica.
Thank you! I feel like I need a good cry after working on it for days trying to remember everything I forgot about how to make a website lol.
Girl I love this and can’t wait to see what unfolds here! You are beautiful my friend ❤️ raw, real and reachin’ onward and upward we go!
Hey girl! I really appreciate taking the time to write such a thoughtful comment. It means a lot that you even read my ramblings. You are my spirit animal! 🫶
I’m here for it! Love everything you say!! 😁💞
Well then buckle up, because apparently I have thoughts. 😂 Thank you so much, that means the world. 💞
This is so authentically you! I can see your face saying every word. You are brave and strong and I look forward to the you that emerges as you release all that no longer serves you!
This made me tear up a little. Thank you for seeing me so clearly and for cheering me on through all the messy, honest, becoming parts. I’m trying, and releasing baby! Letting that crap go!!
So inspiring! I love you❤️
Back atcha, SIL. You have no idea how often you inspire me too!!! Love you right back. ❤️
I envy your bravery, as someone who’s life has been dictated by what will other people think, It must be scary & thrilling to get to a point where you say screw it…. this is me like it or not. Congrats!!!
Thank you so much. And honestly, I still get scared and I still wonder what people will think, I’m just trying not to let that be the boss of me anymore. There is something really freeing about finally saying, “Yep, this is me, messy parts and all,” and I hope we both keep finding more of that kind of freedom.
I am blessed to know you. I am looking forward to reading about your thought through your eyes, mind and heart.
For your mom, I’d keep it sweet and simple:
Thank you, Mom. That means so much to me. I’m blessed to have you here, reading along and loving me through all the thoughts, feelings, stories, and whatever else comes pouring out of my heart. Love you.
Got a new Late night fan! Love it! 💜
Hahaha yay!! I love a late-night fan. 💜 Welcome to the mildly unhinged side of True Northey. 😂✨
