Souls Incorporated

I’ve done it again. I’ve let that nasty thing called pride rob me of my serenity. I don’t want to bore you with all the, well, boring details of my little sob story, but I recently found myself crying in my bed all because of a bruised ego. My husband came to my side andRead the whole post >>

InsideCatholic Article

Read my InsideCatholic article on why I nurse at the mall and at Mass here. Speaking of nursing, for those of you who have been following the little nursling who wasn’t, it seems she was simply on strike. For the past few days, she’s been back at it.

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 >>

First Love

I’ve been in kind of a horse crazy stupor lately.

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.
