Unfortunately, Getting Past Perfect is no longer in print, and I sadly sold out copies from my personal stockpile.
Thanks for your support!
Getting Past Perfect: Finding Joy & Grace in the Messiness of Motherhood is carved from my heart and strives to help moms from all walks of life to overcome Pinterest-inspired perfectionism by replacing their deepest fears and anxieties with a steady trust in God and the freedom to love and mother their children authentically. I hope you will join me in this quest to replace perfectionism with authenticity.
What others are saying about Getting Past Perfect:
“From the moment I cracked open this book, I fell in love with it. Kate Wicker captures the beautiful, painful reality of motherhood perfectly as she guides those fortunate enough to read her words on a journey to discover the peace that surpasses all understanding. This book is a must-read for all mothers and those who love them.”

“For every mom who struggles and wonders if she’s the only one, Kate Wicker is a sorely-needed voice of humor, realism, wisdom, and encouragement. Learn to let go, get past perfect, and let this gem of a book soothe your weary soul!”
-Danielle Bean, author, speaker, publisher of Catholic Digest and talk show host on CatholicTV
“Getting Past Perfect will make you feel like you have a best friend, cheerleader, and spiritual director right at your fingertips. Kate does an outstanding job of empathizing with the daily rigors of motherhood while celebrating the triumphs and encouraging spiritual growth. A must-read for all new, sort of new, and seasoned moms!”

Weightless: Making Peace with Your Body (my first book) seeks to free women from being slaves to food, scales, unrealistic beauty standards, and unhealthy body image. Countless women today are weighted down by the thought that they are not thin enough, pretty enough, young enough, or good enough. While bookstore shelves are well stocked with advice on how to overcome body image problems, very few take a faith-based, much less Catholic, approach to self-healing. Weightless: Making Peace With Your Body speaks not only to those who may have faced an eating disorder, but also to anyone who wants to live an abundant life, unencumbered by society’s obsession with thinness, physical beauty, youth, or food.
Weightless offers:
- Personal stories that debunk cultural myths about beauty
- Spiritual tools to help address common struggles
- Meditations to reshape the way a woman views herself
- Discussion questions for personal or group reflection
Weightless is no longer in print – please contact me to order a copy (personalized if you like!). Price is $15, which includes shipping and handling.
Email me or Venmo me at @Kate-Wicker-1 and include your mailing address and whether or not you want the books signed.
I’m also currently a contributor to Living Faith.
I am currently working on my first novel. Fiction is my first love, so please stay tuned for more information. Thank you for your encouragement and support!
