In this episode, Katie shares the heart and healing behind creating The Freedom Foundry — a safe, faith-centered community for women rebuilding their lives after trauma, heartbreak, or hard seasons.

Social media memories used to drag Katie backward into the pain she fought so hard to escape. She realized she needed a protected space to grow — one not tied to old timelines, old posts, or old versions of herself. And she knew other women needed that same kind of refuge.

Inside this conversation, Katie opens up about:

• Why she chose a platform outside of traditional social media

• How God used her hardest seasons to shape The Freedom Foundry

• What women can expect inside this new community

• Why healing requires connection, encouragement, and a safe place to rise

• How this space supports women in rebuilding their identity and walking in freedom

This episode is an invitation into the deeper mission behind Katie’s work — a home where your past doesn’t define you, your healing is honored, and your growth is protected.

Welcome to The Freedom Foundry. This is where freedom gets forged.

This episode steps into the quietest — and loneliest — season of my journey. Between Thanksgiving and Christmas, I had safety on paper, but inside, I was unraveling. What followed was the scariest chapter of my pregnancy, a rush to the hospital at 23 weeks, and a miracle no doctor could explain.

In the wilderness I didn’t want to return to, God was fighting battles I didn’t even have strength to name. This is the story of how He held my body, my baby, and my heart together when everything around me was falling apart.

When everything fell apart, I entered my own wilderness — forty-five days where silence, fear, and surrender became my only company. This episode walks through that season after the emergency protective order was issued — when I had to face the wreckage, clean the house, and rebuild my life from the ground up.

I share what those days looked like behind the scenes: CPS visits, sleepless nights, the weight of single motherhood, and the quiet ways God started providing when I had nothing left to give.

It’s about the wandering — the part of the story where healing doesn’t look pretty yet, but the foundation for freedom is being laid.
