Hi ~ I’m KatieP
Life doesn't turn out the way it's meant to. I believed that if I was a good girl and followed the rules then I would live the life of my dreams.

Instead, I ended up with an eating disorder and having to cope with my husband's decision to kill himself.

When everything turned to shit I no longer had the energy to be the person I thought the world wanted me to be. I discovered that being my authentic self opened up a world of joy and peace beyond anything I'd ever imagined.

Here on this site I share everything I know (and what I'm learning) about holding on to my authentic self in the midst of an imperfect life.
