About Katie Anne
Well, hello Sweet Souls! Who is Katie Anne? Who is this author? What's she writing about and why should I read her books?!
Wait. Before that. Can I explain the "Another Way to Freedom" (the name of my store [perhaps to be the name of more in the future...]) thing?
- I like to talk about eating disorder "recovery" in terms of freedom more than that word "recovery!" You'll read about this more below.
- There is ALWAYS, always, always another way to just be a human (and do all human things - working, eating, caring for your body, navigating health, etc.). YOUR way. Like... In all areas of life, seriously. That's what I'm about! (And you'll read about all I do down below.)
- Being the Soul that you Are in your human body in ever flowing, ever changing, ever evolving ways throughout this whole adventuresome life journey? That's freedom. (Well, a kind of freedom!) Okay, now onto ME:
I guess I'm a lot of things... Yes, an author is one. I also write on Substack, both about eating disorders and recovery and about spiritually, Who We Are as Souls, the nature of reality, and things of that nature! My eating disorder focused Substack is Recovery Revelations (yep, same name as my book!) and my spirituality focused Substack is There Is Another Way. I would love to see you over there!
Oh, I also have Instagram accounts for both. Here are those links!
OH! And... PODCASTS! I have two podcasts. Yep, for both! Here are THOSE links (to my Linktree where the two podcasts links are)!
Okay, okay, okay, so now you know where to find me and some things I actually do. But who the heck am I?
I'm a gal who is just incredibly passionate about helping all humans make the most of this adventuresome life. And to do that? I'm using both what I've been through (and learned!) plus my passions (this is where the spirituality, Soul Nature, nature of reality, etc. stuff comes in).
And when I say "what I've been through," I don't mean that in a negative sense at all!
The Eating Disorder Side of My Work
I want to help as many people as I possibly can recover from eating disorders of all sorts. While I have experience with 10+ years of waxing and waning anorexia nervosa (recovered now!), I still want to do all I can to help people experiencing all sorts of eating disorders. I love to share about the possible origins of eating disorders (all the many reasons they CAN develop such as our unique genetics, nervous system dysregulation, neurodivergence, personal beliefs, culture, and so much more); I don't believe for one second they are as simplistic as many have made them out to be!
I'm not sure there's ever just ONE root of anyone's eating disorder. Sometimes? Sure! I hold space for all possibilities. But, having been through one now... Their complexity and multifaceted nature is out of this world. So, I want to help you (in any way I can) make sense of your own!
Because when we are given the space and freedom to make sense of our own journeys and experiences, we find the paths to freedom that are best for us (fit us best).
AND we get to define what freedom ("recovery") is - for each of us, individually.
I don't believe it's one thing. I don't believe there's one way to get "there."
I see eating disorder recovery as being a way of life characterized by freedom, defined by the individual, that gets to follow one through every single adventurous, changing season of life.
Sure there are some physical health markers! There are similar "recovery markers" that many, many share. But I like to go deeper. I like to get abstract. That's what I'm about!
I'm about the nuance, dropping the black-and-white thinking - choosing to live in the rainbows and sparkles instead.
Autonomy, freedom, experimentation, exploration, infinite possibilities...
That's what I'm all about here, Sweet Souls.
So, yeah! That's what I do! That's what I write about, post about, and podcast about. (COACHING [actually trying to find a new word because it's not going to be traditional coaching...] COMING SOON! ❤️]
Now, would you like to know a bit about the spirituality side of what I do?
The Spirituality Side of My Work
This has to do with reminding you of Who You Are - a Soul in a human body.
Helping you keep on remembering, keep on awakening - deepening your experience of this wild human life (a life I believe we all, as Souls, chose to live).
It's about adding richness, magic, joy... Not about transcending this life and checking out!
I love to explore infinite possibilities and wild perspectives. I love to talk about quantum findings. I love to get as "out there" as we can get! Because it's fun. And truly? There are infinite possibilities.
This isn't about religion or one spiritual tradition. This is truly about exploration so that we each find the paths that Resonate with each of us, we get to connect to the Love that we are and from which we come, and we can be of immense service to this beautiful world (while we enjoy it to the max at the same time!).
Is this a thorough enough introduction, Sweet Souls?! I try not to make them too long...
Last important note: This store site is where you'll find all of my books, course offerings (should these come!), coaching offerings (still working on what exactly I'm going to call this...), and more! Right now, just books. But more is coming!
If you have questions, connect with me on social media and send me a message 😊 I would love, love, love to connect!
Thank you for being here!
Katie Anne
Would you like some evidence I'm a real person?! I know we like to see pictures of people...(even though, yeah, you could totally just hop over to my Instagram pages!)
So, enjoy a picture of me and my dog, Maple!
