Kate, this story of you and your father really hits home for me. I can very much relate to recognizing the wear of life on your father’s face and demeanor. Thanks so much for sharing your story with us! It is truly a gift 💜
Wow, I’m in awe of you. Seriously, the dedication you’ve shown to reconnecting with your body and healing through cold therapy and other somatic practices is nothing short of inspiring. I’ll be honest—just thinking about cold water makes me want to retreat into my blankets forever. But the way you describe the diving mammalian reflex and the sheer power of your body to heal itself? It’s making me rethink my relationship with discomfort… almost. 😅
I’m weeping from this piece!! When I read your work it’s from so many perspectives…Mother first and foremost, woman, sister, friend, follower and learner!!! I’m glad you “stayed” Kate ❤️💜
Kate, your writing is so deeply emotive and descriptive. I can see and feel you looking at your dad with realization. We all have those moments, but we all CAN NOT put them on paper (or computer) like you can. Thank you for sharing that beautiful talent with us while teaching and enlightening the world to the intricacies of mental illness. Just love you friend…and thank you

Algorithm be darned! Thank you for asking us, I love to know ways to help out writers, esp free ways, and often forget to do these simple things.
Thank you - for your openness, for your strength and for your care for everyone else. xx
Thank you for seeing me

Thank you for always showing us your truth and resilience, Kate 💜
Love the physiological sigh. Often picture Violet Beauregard as I inflate. And love this idea of listing ways to stretch and reanimate!
❤️❤️❤️
What a great idea
I’m so excited for the new feature! And I felt a pang in my heart when you were describing your dad. ❤️
Intrigued by the Healing Lab! Not sure yet whether I’ll be joining in much but I’m definitely interested…
Also moving! Starting a trial separation from my husband of 18 years… ahh, life.
