2 years feels like a lifetime with you.
We have lived about 3 different lifetimes in these past 2 years, learning, growing, loving, and healing.
I now know why I felt called to move halfway across the country to Austin, Texas, it was to meet a kindred spirit.
In these two short years I have felt more unconditional love, radical acceptance, have felt seen, understood, and deeply connected to you my beautiful friend.
You are one of the most special human beings I have ever met.
Your soul is magic, your heart is pure, your light penetrates the darkest of depths, your presence is grounding, your love is healing, your hugs are safe, and your energy is contagious.
We have gone to the depths in that garage portal, spending hours locked into another dimension feeding each other’s souls.
I believe in soulmates in many different ways and you are definitely my soul sister.
God brought us into each other’s lives at the perfect time, allowing us to heal and grown so that that we can take the next steps in our lives.
Thank you for being you and loving me.
My heart aches leaving Austin knowing that you won’t be just a drive away.
My life is better with you in it and I will always cherish our friendship.
We will be basking in the beach in Florida together and
soaking up our favorite vitamin D.
I love you to the moon and back!

Grey hair and wrinkles on my face are revealing themselves these days.
I’m learning to look in mirror and appreciate that this is who I am now.
In a world where women feel so much pressure to stay looking young by putting poison into their bodies, I am leaning into the fact that I am so much more that this human flesh suit.
My priority is feeling good and loving myself.
With these wrinkles and grey hairs have come wisdom that I would t trade for the world.
I am here to embrace the aging process and feel all the feels that comes with it.
This is what an unfiltered 34 year old Katie looks like and it’s okay.
Every day that I am alive is a gift💚

Catch me harnessing the power of my womb and really stepping into the divine feminine energy that lies within all women.
As buzz wordy as it sounds, it’s the truth.
Our womb is our powerhouse, our guiding light, the giver of life.
Our womb stores the feelings of not enoughness, the hurt we’ve experienced, the trauma, and the negative emotions that we have not released.
Our womb has the power to heal and release all of those things.
As women we owe it to ourselves and the world around us to let our light shine bright.
The more we allow ourselves to embody the truest expression of ourselves, the more love and light we will spread in the world.
It’s never too late to start HEALING.
The greatest gift you can give to the world is being you.
SHINE BRIGHT✨

Mother’s Day is filled with so much contrast for me.
While I find the beauty in celebrating all of the wonderful mothers out there, I also find myself mourning.
This year will officially be 10 years since my mom made my transition.
I have experienced a spectrum of emotions: sad, happy, grateful, angry, guilty, confused, overwhelmed, anxious, at peace, joy, acceptance, fear, and faith.
At 24 I didn’t know what the f**k I was going to do without my mom.
At 30 I couldn’t believe how angry I was at my mom 6 years after her passing.
At 31 I was learning to accept that she did the best she could with what she had AND I did deserve better AND that’s OKAY.
Just 3 days shy of 34th birthday I am feeling extremely grateful because if it wasn’t for this woman, the choices she made, and the life she led, I wouldn’t be this woman that I am so proud of today.
I know Mother’s Day can be a difficult day for a lot of people out there and I’m one of those people.
I want to remind you of the power of the word AND on these difficult days.
I am sad because I miss my mom and haven’t hugged, kiss, talked to, or seen in almost 10 years AND I am so grateful I did get to experience a life with her in it.
We can hold space for contrasting emotions within ourselves and in fact I have found that to be one of the most useful tools when it comes to healing.
So today I am holding space for those of you that have some heavy emotions and am sending you lots of love. I am sitting with you in the contrast.
Happy Mother’s Day to my mom who did the best she could with what she had and always made sure that I knew how much she loved me and how special I was to her. 💛🌻

8 years alcohol free today!
This was one of the best decisions I have made in my life.
I made the decision to support my body and healing.
I didn’t start with the intention of never drinking again, it was temporary.
Then I realized how much better I felt mentally and physically without consuming alcohol.
Here I am 8 years later having fun while being sober.
Experiencing life without alcohol is truly living for me.
Alcohol is not only normalized, but is glamorized when the reality isn’t very glamorous at all.
There are so many people that over consume and abuse alcohol, but it doesn’t have to be that way.
I have much more fun and connect much deeper with people now that I don’t drink.
So here’s to 8 years of choosing to be different and honor my body💃🏼

34 is just around the corner.
I can’t believe it.
Feeling grateful for my body and all that it does for me.
I remember when I thought 34 was so old.
If this is what the mid 30’s feels like, I’m all in!
