A deep-dive on Kate Gegas

I've been asking myself a question: Who am I, really?


Welcome, to the hot mess express.


Real-talk. My name is Kate, if you know me from my past, you know me either as Katie, my childhood nick-name, or Katelyn, the name given to be at birth. I am a jack-of-all-trades, master of...well, writing. Here's the problem-- I have TOO many interests. Everyone tells you to "find a niche" so I am claiming my niche as writing. That way, it gives me the ability to not have to worry about what I decided to write about. I am passionate about many things, and to not write about them, and focus only on one, put me in a box--and I don't belong in a box. I've decided to use this portion of my website to showcase my interests and passions outside of writing novels. I love all things coffee, tea, fashion, health and wellness, beauty, motherhood--so why the hell shouldn't I share about it?


I am glad you're here.

Here's the thing. In this digital world, I have found I love sharing the things that help me in my day to day life, things I enjoy, of course--but more than that, I love the friendships I have gained and the communities I am a part of...but something still feels off. I am in search of the messy moms. The ones who at the end of their day, the sink is still full of dirty dishes, they toss the laundry in the dryer to take the wrinkles out, and you put on sweats you've had since high school...joking.


I want to create a space where you don't have to be a "certain type" of mom. We're all a little crunchy, all a little silky, high maintenance, bougie, laid back, imperfect in some areas, perfect in others. I want to create a community where you can come as you are and that's good enough for the rest of us. That's what I am missing. Everything feels so...all or nothing? It doesn't have to be. Life can be AND.

Rock on, stay golden, and remember to rest.

So, who am I, really? I am a little bit roll, but a hell of a lot of rock. I am a hippie at heart, but cannot stand bright colorful anything (unless I am in my alter-ego feelings). I love Jesus, and cuss a lot. I am a mom, former educator, writer, empath, and amateur chef (for my family haha!) I write books and poetry. I love watercolor painting, but am not very good at it. My favorite thing to do in the morning is sit outside in the morning sun, alone, and drink my cup of coffee. Podcasts are my favorite thing to listen to, or my 2000's emo playlist. My daughters are my world, but I refuse to show them that life is mediocre and all you are when you have kids is a mother. I am working daily to be the best version of myself, and sometimes that includes a good cry at the end of the day. If a shower isn't burning off the first layer of my skin, it's not hot enough. I live at the beach, but my soul longs for the mountains.
