If you’re struggling with your body image or know someone who is, please consider reading my recent article on Catholic Exchange. This one has been around a bit (it was originally published in Canticle), but it remains near and dear to my heart. I wish I could say all the relics of my unhealthy pastRead the whole post >>

Thank You!

I can’t possibly begin to personally thank all of the men and women who have reached out, shown their support of my InsideCatholic article, and given me a cyber pat on the back. Your emails, blog posts, phone calls, kindness, and prayers have meant a great deal to me. Thank you. I do want toRead the whole post >>

Weaning Mommy

Love hurts, especially when you’re trying to nurse a baby who keeps biting you. For the past two days my baby Rae has refused my breast. She either pushes it away or gives me a quick (and painful) nip. This doesn’t stop me from trying to offer it to her. I’m like a lovesick teenagerRead the whole post >>

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.
