It's time to put on makeup, it's time to light the lights...

Amazing! Katie’s inspirational words, and relatable experiences make her words so meaningful and her stories so authentic. Always a pleasure, always so thoughtful, and it’s pure gift to yourself to dive into Katie’s words and savor her genuine passion for whatever she is sharing with her reader.

An excellent read at 4 AM. To want oneself is to fully accept every part of you. I love the breadcrumbs idea or the philosophy behind it. I still remember using an audio recorder as soon as I knew what 'all the triangles meant'. I think the biggest hurdle in my life now, as I am dealing with chronic illness, and my ultimate question: Why go for what I want when I barely have enough energy to eat and rest? Got the book! Will leave review when I have the spoons.

4am!!! I am impressed!! Thank you for reading, Cor! And you're so right. The "why do this when there are so many other very real things going on" talk is so real for so many — and I can only imagine how chronic illness adds/complicates it even more. So glad you have the book in your hands. Enjoy it at your own pace and when it calls to you :)

Ooooh this really hit me, Katie. Thank you! I’m thinking of all the times I told myself “shouldn’t this be harder? shouldn’t I doubt myself more?” and the roadblocks I self-created. Going to chew on this today!!

OH YES. THIS. The "shouldn't it be harder?" is huge. And I think isn't just about professional stuff — I've heard this from people in relationships too! Ease is jarring when you're used to putting up a fight (even if that fight is with yourself)

Damn. Yes. Yes yes yes! That's exactly right.
