Katie Grace is truly poetic with her words, turning her pain into purpose through this work. As a trauma survivor myself, her story empowered me to continue my spiritual path. I've always been drawn to the raw emotion of poetry, philosophy, and how they tie into the human experience as a meat bag on this giant planet floating in the universe--- this book addresses these aspects perfectly.
As a leader in brain health and neuroscience, I can attest that we so often push away our trauma and/or we cope by becoming the victim, the perpetrator, or the rescuer. Katie embraces the natural trauma sequence with grace, self-compassion, and triumph.
As a designer and family life coach, I deeply appreciate her transparency with her family dynamics and how they've impacted her relationships, especially with romance and substances. We need to hear more stories like this to truly grasp improvement as a human, soul, family, and child of God.
With a full and grateful heart,

Katie Grace was born in Atlanta, Georgia and grew up just north of the big city in Roswell. She is very empathetic, kind, and desires to see the best in others. Katie has a passion for psychology and helping people unleash their own true potential.
Right after her 22nd birthday she was diagnosed with bipolar but didn't fully understand what this meant for her life. A year later, she joined a sober living and attended AA meetings. A few months later, Katie came off her medication on her own which threw her into an intense manic episode and was found to be in psychosis. This called for hospitalization.
Katie is now interested in holistic and integrative ways of treatment along with taking daily medications. She understands that her story, including her struggles, is her purpose.
