Having a Baby Changes Everything

I bet the title of this post gotcha. No baby yet. Still gestating… Just reflecting on babies, Match Day, and why my husband and I don’t mind being in the minority in the medical community for starting a family while he was still in medical school and continuing to grow our family while his never-endingRead the whole post >>

Living a Life Worthy of my Calling

I’m still gestating. I’m also cutting back on computer time to soak up on life with my girls. So here’s a rerun.

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.
