Like so many of us, I have had an expansive couple of months. Unfortunately my family suffered a loss when my father in law passed away in November. Leading up to that, I was in a program learning how to niche down and scale an online business on social media and I was uncomfortable AF. I learned a lot about what I want and what I don’t want. The passing of my FIL signaled for me to slow down and be present with my family. I went quiet on my socials for awhile but then I missed connecting and sharing my light. I came back about a month ago with a call to help women move from self abandoned to self leadership. And then I went a bit deeper to narrow it down to fresh women entrepreneurs who abandon themselves within their business. I look at my story and how far I’ve come.. an esthetician working in a waxing chain over worked and under paid. I always knew I was meant for more deep down inside and every time I pushed my dreams aside, I abandoned myself by staying in that job for “stability” . One day i decided to bet on myself and made plans to leave and be my own boss. I was successful at that. Built a business with loyal clients I love while creating a schedule that works around my family’s needs. However, I noticed a pattern that followed me there too. “Not enough” , saying yes and over extending myself. Burning out and not pricing my worth. Self abandonment followed me there too because it was familiar. Untill I began to break that cycle. I come from a lineage of women who never gave themselves the opportunity to believe in themselves. They stayed small out of fear, shame and lack. But I’m here to break that cycle and help others do the same. What I’m currently struggling with is my focus and structure. I am overwhelmed in my thoughts and I feel like I’m rushing all the time to put content out there. I’m working on my flow with words. I use to freeze in front of the camera and always relied on captions but i stopped using them to force my organic words and personality to come through. I’m working on my certainty.

Alright! Let’s see if u guys can click on the audio file and listen to it.

Hi all! I’m Katie. I’m an author, a poet and novelist. I write middle-grade fiction. I also facilitate writing groups for teens in my local community. I love the freedom of my creative work and the joy of making it my own. One of my favorite parts is traveling to cool places for writing research with my family. Of course, I also enjoy the coziness of writing in early morning alongside my dog. I’m in Indianapolis, Indiana. My favorite snack is definitely chips and salsa. So glad to be here!
