Some Further Thoughts on Feminism, Motherhood, and Having It All

I recently wrote a column for Inside Catholic that pointed a finger at certain schools of feminist thought for making women feel like less instead of more. The article sparked an interesting dialogue (some of the comments took issue with the column) and has prompted further thoughts from me. One of the many challenges ofRead the whole post >>

Hold the Beef: Going Meatless in Lent and Beyond

I’m back. Sort of. I’m still limiting my screen time, and I have much to say about my recent Internet fast (including how I learned the most from a moment of weakness). I hope to blog about my experience eventually. I actually had no contact with a computer or even email for three whole daysRead the whole post >>

You Call This a Diet?

When I hit the elliptical trainer, I like to read candy for the mind (as in junk).

Honey, I Shrunk the Blog Header

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.
