Katherine credits the unwavering support of her father, and later, her husband Matthew, with helping her begin the climb out of alcoholism. Before his passing, Katherine’s father encouraged her to write about her experience. He believed her story could serve as a lifeline for other women, particularly mothers, suffering silently from alcohol use disorder. Katherine took that advice to heart, channeling her recovery into her writing and her mission.

 

Today, Katherine is passionate about speaking openly and honestly about addiction and recovery, particularly among mothers. She has dedicated her life to challenging the stigma surrounding women who struggle with alcoholism.
