Date Your Life Summer. August Energy.

Katie Kelly — Sat, 01 Aug 2026 14:20:20 GMT

Happy August, friends!🤍

This morning feels different.

The air is cooler here in Wichita after weeks of 100 degree days, and I found myself sitting on the patio with a cup of coffee thinking…

Home Isn't a Place. It's the Version of You That Finally Feels Like Home.

Katie Kelly — Tue, 28 Jul 2026 21:20:40 GMT

Someone asked me what my favorite bird was. I was like f*ck you know you single & midlife when people think you should have a favorite bird. I laughed & said, “Does a rotisserie chicken count?” 🍗

Pour Decisions, Aged Well

Katie Kelly — Tue, 21 Jul 2026 22:42:53 GMT

You’ve probably heard the saying “Every bourbon is a whiskey, but not every whiskey is a bourbon.”

It got me thinking so here we go, random Katie confessions…

I think whiskey is a lot like women.

The Day I Lost My Phone And Everything Changed Under My Bed

Katie Kelly — Sun, 19 Jul 2026 14:13:26 GMT

Last year on this day I lost my phone. I searched everywhere. Tore my apartment apart. Finally round 4 am something said, “Check under the bed, dummy.”

So I did.

There was the lil goblin under my bed 😂

Weirdly Specific Things as an Autistic + ADHD Woman (AuDHD) That You May Relate To Or Laugh At

Katie Kelly — Thu, 16 Jul 2026 00:42:40 GMT

There are things about being AuDHD that make absolutely no logical sense UNTIL you meet another AuDHD woman.

This one feels like me on paper, but if anyone ever wondered what it’s like living inside my brain this is probably the closest explanation I’ve written.

It’s a relief suddenly seeing people nodding like “OMG. I thought I was the only one.”

Our brai…

Confessions of a Single 44 Year Old AuDHD Woman That Might Get Me Canceled

Katie Kelly — Tue, 14 Jul 2026 22:49:05 GMT

If you’re looking for someone with the perfectly curated Instagram feed, color coded planner, a 20 step morning routine, and a secret formula for life…

Hi.

I’m not her.

Most of my life is random af. 🤷‍♀️

This isn’t one of those blogs where I pretend I’ve got everything figured out.

This is real life.

The kind where I accidentally overshare with strangers, qu…

Advice From a Neuroscientist That Pissed Me Off But Fixed My Shopping & Phone Addiction

How My Bucket List Became My Year of Less

Katie Kelly — Sun, 12 Jul 2026 23:37:21 GMT

“When you love what you have, you realize you already have everything you need.”

Prologue

I found the bucket list I was building while living in Lynchburg, Virginia.

Reading it now feels like opening a time capsule. Not because of everywhere I planned to go but because of who I was becoming.

At the time, I thought I was making a list of places to visit. Loo…

Confessions From a Country Concert And Two Hot Dogs

Katie Kelly — Sat, 11 Jul 2026 13:03:03 GMT

Confession… over 4 years ago I posted this photo at a country concert in Ohio. We went to see Hardy 💕🎶🎸 Things that happen when you drink with your parents & strangers in the middle of nowhere….

The Day I Realized My Autism & Shopping Addiction Were Making Me Fat

Katie Kelly — Fri, 10 Jul 2026 13:45:08 GMT

The Weight We Don’t See.

There’s a moment, a quiet, uncomfortable moment, when you realize your life is heavier than it should be.

For me it didn’t happen in a gym, a grocery store, or a doctor’s office. It happened on the floor of yet another temporary apartment as a travel radiologic technologist, surrounded by piles of clothes, shoes, mugs, half used l…

Pivotal Wichita, Kansas Life Updates for July 2026

Katie Kelly — Thu, 09 Jul 2026 14:48:04 GMT

Confessions… I am the first to admit I prefer extremes, specifically contradictory extremes 😆

I hate being a “beginner” but hate stagnancy.

I loathe making decisions but love agendas.

I love freedom & adventure & routine.

I am also super impatient, want things done fast, but also cherish rest & slowing tf down.

I love romanticizing about my future AND stayi…

I’m At The Most Fckable Age Of My Life & The Only Thing I’m Fckin’ Is Autistic

Katie Kelly — Wed, 08 Jul 2026 14:39:58 GMT

CONFESSIONS…

When I start to crave a relationship (even just by a tiny bit) I start a new hobby & pick up more shifts at work🤦‍♀️

Dead ass. (apparently that’s new slang for “I’m completely serious,” “for real,” or “I’m not joking.” 😂 💁‍♀️ Ima cross btw a Gen X + a millennial. I have to ChatGPT this shiz all the time!)

In a world full of perfectionists,…

From Farm Girl to Fully Awake — The Story I Never Thought I’d Share

Katie Kelly — Tue, 07 Jul 2026 13:50:45 GMT

“The purpose of life is to experience.” — Unknown

This morning I walked the streets of Belmont Place here in Wichita Kansas. You could hear every bird chirp & sprinkler like nature was playing a song for me.

An introduction and hard truths I stand by as a woman over 40

Katie Kelly — Sun, 05 Jul 2026 14:51:39 GMT

I was re-writing my bio this morning. And as I read the old version, I felt the facts were already there, but I think what was missing was more of ME.

I started this account over a decade ago and the main goal was to portray myself digitally exactly how I am in real life because I feel that’s how things should be.

I aim to be the woman people would actua…

Channeled Message Of The Day July 4th, 2026

Katie Kelly — Sat, 04 Jul 2026 13:57:38 GMT

On my walk this morning I caught myself thinking about dating & marriage. About how I’d like to approach it. Then I realized maybe this applies to life in general.

Here’s what I came up with.

I’m not dating to get married.

I’m not seeking jobs to get rich.

I’m not dating to break up.

I’m not living for a certain end goal or title.

I’m dating to find someone I…

Confessions From the Bar: Debt, Groceries, Human Behavior & The Invisible Scripts Running Our Lives

Katie Kelly — Sat, 04 Jul 2026 09:14:40 GMT

Pretend we’re at a little coffee shop or cocktail bar on a Saturday. I’ve got an iced coffee. (more like an espresso martini lol) You’re probably asking me questions you’ve been DMing me all week.

I love these conversations because they’re never really about groceries.

Or clothes. Or dating.

They’re about behavior.

And behavior is what changes lives.

Four Years Ago I Wrote a Letter to My Future Self.

Katie Kelly — Wed, 01 Jul 2026 22:00:25 GMT

Four years ago, on the eve of my 40th birthday, I sat down and wrote a letter to myself.

I had no idea I’d end up reading it today with tears welling in my eyes.

Not because everything happened exactly the way I imagined. Because almost none of it did.

Instead life unfolded in ways I never could have planned. So this morning I scrolled through my camera ro…

This Morning Everything Changed.

Katie Kelly — Mon, 29 Jun 2026 14:55:09 GMT

Picture this.

I’m curled up on the couch in my cozy loft in Wichita, Kansas, coffee in hand, finishing a podcast about July’s energy.

The host suggested writing down everything that’s draining your energy.

Not the obvious stuff. The subtle stuff.

The things that quietly siphon your peace without you realizing it.

The shit you’re finally sick of. The things y…

Confessions: The Bathroom Scale Had More Power Over Me Than I Did

Katie Kelly — Fri, 19 Jun 2026 13:50:37 GMT

I remember a specific moment at 38.

I was standing in my bathroom crying over a number on a scale.

Nothing had changed overnight.

I hadn’t suddenly gained a significant amount of body fat. I hadn’t become less worthy. I hadn’t become less lovable. I hadn’t become less successful.

But I believed that number meant something about me.

And that’s the part that b…

Confessions of a Carnivore: The Recipes I Make on Repeat (Because Ain’t Nobody Got Time for Complicated)

Katie Kelly — Sat, 13 Jun 2026 11:14:14 GMT

Hey Besties,

A question I get all the time is:

“What do you actually eat?”

Nothin fancy.

No exotic ingredients or 47-step recipes or meal prep containers organized by color.

Just simple foods that help me feel good, keep my Crohn’s happy, make hitting my protein goals easier, and allow me to spend less time in the kitchen and more time living my life.

After c…
