About

Katie is from a small town in central Kentucky, raised among animals, open fields, and a home life that didn’t always follow a straight line.

Early encounters with harmful online spaces led her into a long recovery from eating disorders—an experience that still shapes how she moves through conversations around diet culture, GLP-1s, and the ever-evolving world of weight loss trends.

After seven years working in healthcare (much of it during the pandemic and its immediate aftermath) she made the decision to step away and is now unpacking what it means to leave a system she was once inside of, and what it means to carry experiences from a time when care work was pushed beyond its limits.

She is interested in systems, the ones we see and the ones we don’t, and how they quietly shape choices around health, bodies, labor, and politics. More often than not, those choices aren’t really choices at all.

This space is where she thinks out loud. Through honest and vulnerable writing, she hopes to make room for reflection, discomfort, and the kind of pauses that linger.
