Thousands of research-backed articles and a community of millions, started at my kitchen table in 2006.
Founder of Wellness Mama
Hi, I’m Katie.
I’m a mom of seven, a writer, and a builder of things. I’m drawn to the kind of questions that make things more complicated before they make them simpler, and I’ve spent most of my adult life following them: into health, into motherhood, into business, and lately into what it actually means to live well with other people.

What I’m exploring now
Right now I’m digging into the history and anthropology of marriage and partnership, and launching Deep Questions, a series that offers questions instead of answers about things I can’t stop thinking about. If you like that sort of thing, you’ll fit right in here.
Things I believe, subject to revision
- I believe curiosity is more useful than certainty.
- I believe children deserve respect as people, not merely as future adults.
- I believe health is not simply the absence of disease.
- I believe freedom and connection aren’t opposites.
- I believe we should be willing to question even the beliefs we hold most dearly.
And I reserve the right to change my mind about any of this when I encounter better evidence. In fact, I hope I do.
Work with me
Over the years I’ve built a website, a podcast, books, businesses, and a lot of systems (some of which even worked the first time). Along the way, I’ve learned a lot about turning big ideas into something real.
If you’d like a thinking partner for your business, your content, or your next big idea, I’m opening a limited number of one-on-one consulting calls. Bring your questions. I’ll bring curiosity, honesty, and probably a spreadsheet.

The nightstand rotates.
Whatever is open this week, the books that changed how I think are the ones I stand behind.
Books that changed my life…
“In the case of good books, the point is not to see how many of them you can get through, but rather how many can get through to you.”
What I believe to be true (for now)…
Years ago, I made a list of everything I believed to be true, then set out to intentionally question each one. I ended up with a much shorter list and a very different perspective. I’ve changed my mind about a surprising number of things, and I consider that a feature, not a bug.
A few of my favorite things…
Antoine de Saint-Exupéry was probably right that “perfection is achieved, not when there is nothing more to add, but when there is nothing left to take away.” Still, a few things have earned their place. These are the 20% that bring me 80% of the joy, and the ones I recommend most.
I’m glad you’re here.
Pull up a chair. We have a lot to talk about.
