Will Eat for Baby

It’s still dark outside. I’ve just nursed the baby and I should be in bed, trying to squeeze in a few more minutes of sleep before my older children wake me up. Instead I sneak into my bathroom and step on the scale with trepidation. Will it be my friend or foe this morning? ItRead the whole post >>

Pregnant Photo

To Anon who said my photo will make everyone feel bad about themselves, I’m feeling really guilty. This was not my intention. Trust me. In fact, I work hard to be an advocate for women feeling healthy and strong. To me, I look pregnant (you’ve never seen how I look not pregnant, I’m assuming). I’veRead the whole post >>

Comparing Our Crosses

A few years ago my mom said something I’ve never forgotten.

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.
