Hi, I'm Kelly.

I write about motherhood, marriage, faith, dysfunction, and the messy work of becoming whole. Raised in chaos—alcohol abuse, narcissism, and deep dysfunction—I’ve spent my adult life doing the work to heal, to grow, and to walk in the freedom Christ died for me to have.

I’m a freelance health and wellness writer, an unschooling mom of three (now graduated), and about to complete my first book, Resurrecting Motherhood: Restoring the Woman Within and Reclaiming the Power of Motherhood.

While writing a a love for literature has always been a part of my life, I find that as a woman in midlife, writing is the perfect medium to reclaim my voice through memoir, prose poetry, and uncomfortable truth-telling. When you read my work, my goal is to connect, move, and inspire you with vulnerable stories. Memoir pieces like, Promises and Scars or Feeling Alone In Parenthood: When Marriage Doesn't Mean Shared Parenting are two such examples.

You won’t find fluff here. Just honest stories, wisdom from my hard-earned lessons, and words meant to challenge and uplift you especially if you are trying to heal or break free—despite the past, despite the darkness, and sometimes, despite yourself. My work is faith-inspired but never preachy. I hope my writing helps you see what’s possible, even from the ruins.
