Is seeing really believing?

I’m excited to announce that I’ve joined the editorial team for Living Faith as a regular contributor. You can subscribe to the devotional here. I’m sharing my reflection for May 24, 2022 below. Embracing my faith continues to be a real struggle as of late, but thankfully I’m innately a stubborn person so that meansRead the whole post >>

Do you have a weight problem? My anti-diet soapbox

As part of the Virtual National Catholic Women’s Conference, I was invited to host a Live Q&A to discuss anxiety, depression, and body image. I could have definitely hosted an hour (or two!) on each of those topics individually. When I was wrapping up the session, I ended up hijacking the last part of theRead the whole post >>

Let’s talk about anxiety and depression

Do I have your attention now? I frequently find random videos and images created by some quirky kid on my camera roll. This one cracked me up because there’s still a limit on how much TP we can pick up at our local grocery store, and what’s crazy to me is some single college kidRead the whole post >>

We need one another

A few weeks ago I was climbing into my car to go pick up groceries when I saw a dog, tongue happily lolling out of its mouth, sprinting across a patch of grass in front of me. Not far behind the gleeful pup were two, equally gleeful PJ-clad toddlers scampering in the wake of theRead the whole post >>

Hi, I’m Kate

I’m a wife, mom of five kids, writer, speaker, storyteller, bibliophile, runner, eating disorder survivor, and perfectionist in recovery. I'm the author of Getting Past Perfect: Finding Joy & Grace in the Messiness of Motherhood  and Weightless: Making Peace With Your Body.

I’ve tried a lot of things in my life – anorexia, bulimia, law school, teaching aerobics, extended breastfeeding, vegetarianism, trying to be perfect and failing miserably at it – and through it all I’ve been writing. And learning to embrace the messiness of life instead of covering it up, making excuses for it, or being ashamed of my brokenness or my home’s sticky counters.

Nowadays I’m striving every single, imperfect day to strike a balance between keeping it real and keeping it joyful.

 

“She could never be a saint, but she thought she could be a martyr if they killed her quick.”
