I’ve never thought of myself as the most photogenic person, and I don’t really enjoy getting my picture taken. I don’t know how toRead the whole post >>

The best detox ever!

For me, it’s more like “Die negative thoughts die! Die hate die! Die every single meal plan that demonizes food and calories die! Die body comparisons die! Die fat phobic culture die! Die “New Year, New You” propaganda die! I’m just fine with my good-enough self. Thank you very much. I received an email yesterdayRead 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.
