Founder of Wellness Mama

Hi, I’m Katie.

I’m a mom of seven, entrepreneur, writer, perpetual student, and enthusiast of asking questions that tend to make things more complicated before they make them simpler.

If we only had five minutes

  • Terrified of bananas.

    The whole fruit. Yes, really.

  • Twelve seconds of laundry.

    Caught up. Briefly. A personal record.

  • Ten minutes early.

    On time is what stresses me out.

  • A well-designed spreadsheet.

    This is a love language.

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.

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.
