Navigating Transformations: Katie Bean on Tattoos, Mantras, and Memoirs

You Only Go Once (Y.O.G.O.)

Do you remember the quiet thrill of delving into the pages of a long-awaited book as a child? For Katie Bean, that excitement was coupled with a dream of one day writing her own book. Join us as we journey with Katie, author of the healing memoir, Fragile Thoughts, tracing her transformation from a book-loving child to a published author. Listen to her profound revelations about revisiting old journal entries, turning them into a memoir, and the power of storytelling. Her intriguing experience with her learning circle book club, and the robust role it played in her book promotion, makes for a compelling tale.
Taking care of our inner voice often doesn't get the attention it deserves. Let Katie provide some insights, sharing about her personal practice of naming her inner voice and how it's bolstered her mental well-being. As she recounts the role of yoga and meditation in maintaining her peace of mind, you’ll discover a new perspective on staying present. We also get a unique lens into the world of tattoos and personal mantras. From her first impulsive tattoo to the meaningful ink that adorns her body now, Katie reveals how each design is a milestone in her transformation journey.
Art has always been a potent tool for expressing emotions, and Katie truly embodies this. Her mother was a musician, and the power of art has permeated her life. Learn how books, specifically memoirs like hers, can be a gift that ignites empathy and hope in the reader. As we bid farewell, we delve into the calming world of meditation, its benefits, and the balance it brings. Join us in this heartening conversation with Katie Bean and let her words inspire you to embark on your own journey of healing and personal growth.
