✨ DANCER SPOTLIGHT: Narnia Soles! ✨
We’re thrilled to introduce Narnia Soles, one of the incredible stars taking the dance floor for NEST’s Dancing with the Stars! 💃🕺

Narnia is the owner of Indie Hollow Venue, Blush and Bowtie Wedding Planning, Dahlia Vintage Rentals and Horizon Entertainment DJs.
Narnia Soles loves spontaneous road trips, making her kids listen to The Chicks (formerly The Dixie Chicks), and indulging a little too often in Sour Patch Kids and Diet Coke. Growing up in Cincinnati, between countless soccer and softball games, Narnia found her true joy in hosting parties and dreaming up fairytale weddings. Time passed—she got married, had babies, started a career—but her love for weddings never faded.
That passion eventually became, Blush and Bowtie Weddings, a business built from her heart and her knack for creating magical celebrations as well as a local wedding venue owner, Indie Hollow.

Want to help Narnia climb the leaderboard? Every donation makes an impact! 👏

✨ DANCER SPOTLIGHT: DR. NATHAN FITE! ✨

We’re thrilled to introduce Dr. Nathan Fite, one of the incredible stars taking the dance floor for NEST’s Dancing with the Stars! 💃🕺

Dr. Fite is a clinical psychologist, professor in Xavier University’s School of Psychology, and Managing Director of The Anxiety Center. He specializes in anxiety, OCD, trauma, and mood disorders and is passionate about expanding access to effective, evidence-based mental health care.

Nathan earned his Ph.D. from the University of Cincinnati and a Master of Health Administration from Cornell University. But this fall, he’s trading the therapy room for the dance floor—all in support of NEST and the students and families we serve! ❤️

When he’s not teaching, treating patients, or developing behavioral health programs, Nathan enjoys spending time with his wife, Clara, and their daughters, Zoe and Chloe.

Now it’s time to dance for a difference! 🪩✨
