I always love hearing from readers, so I’ll see you over there!

    Great article!! I think we all struggle with this – even those of us that are a number of years away from our last baby. Now I'm into the peri-menopausal issues, where it's even harder to maintain that girlish figure!! I think our husbands play an important role in this, too. Mine loves my body, curves and all, and makes a point of telling me that. And I need to listen and believe!!

Hi, I’m Kate

 

I'm the author of two nonfiction books Getting Past Perfect and Weightless, a storyteller*, overthinker, eating disorder survivor, mom of five, book junkie, socially awkward nerd as well as a speaker (so basically a walking and talking contradiction), and a perfectionist in recovery.

I am currently working towards my MFA in Fiction at Warren Wilson. Thank you to everyone who has read my drafts, offered feedback, and cheered me on. The writing life is often solitary, but I wouldn’t be here without a community of support.
