Summary: In this special solo episode, Katie officially announces her upcoming book, From Crutches to Half Marathon: A Cognomovement Journey from Childhood Trauma to a Reclaimed Life.
She shares the story behind why she wrote it, who she wrote it for, and what is inside. From the 18 months she spent mostly on crutches and the temporary disability that changed everything, to the forgiveness practice that got her knee straight in two to three weeks, to completing a half marathon just six years later at nearly fifty years old, this is a deeply personal and honest look at what healing from childhood trauma and chronic pain can actually look like.
Katie also opens up about her mom's advanced dementia, the grief of watching someone you love fade away, and how writing this book 15 minutes at a time over several years became one of the most meaningful things she has ever done.

Key Takeaways
→ The book is called From Crutches to Half Marathon: A Cognomovement Journey from Childhood Trauma to a Reclaimed Life. It is coming very soon.
→ Katie wrote this book for the person looking for a thread of hope to hold onto. Whatever state you are in, it does not have to stay that way.
→ Post-traumatic stress is not a disorder. Katie deliberately avoids the word disorder because it implies permanence that simply is not true. There is so much that can be done.
→ Forgiveness got her knee straight. Within two to three weeks of starting to meditate and practice forgiveness, Katie's housemate noticed she had stopped limping. She had not been able to walk without pain in over a year.
→ Everything you need to heal is already inside you. Her first wellness coach Shannon Lee planted that seed when Katie did not believe it. The book is proof of what became possible when she started to act on it.
→ Big goals happen 15 minutes at a time. Katie wrote the entire book in her morning scribing practice, 15 minutes a day, on a tiny iPad. Consistency over intensity.
→ Beta readers described the book as relatable, gripping and something they could see themselves in. That was exactly what Katie set out to create.
