My Story & My Work

Welcome. I’m so glad you’re here.

My name is Katelyn Curran, and I’m the author of a deeply personal memoir about survival, healing, and reclaiming identity after trauma. But while that book is the beginning of something big, it’s far from the whole story.

This site is a home for my writing in all its forms—memoir, blog posts, essays, and future works still unfolding. I write to process, to reflect, and to connect. Whether it’s through raw reflections on motherhood, navigating co-parenting after abuse, or the ongoing journey of rediscovering myself as a woman, a creator, and a human being, my goal is simple: to tell the truth and hold space for others to do the same.

Here, you’ll find more than just my book. You’ll find updates on what I’m working on, behind-the-scenes looks at my writing process, and space to connect with the deeper conversations that fuel my work.

At my core, I’m a writer, a mother, a wife, and an artist. But above all, I’m someone who believes our stories matter and that when we share them honestly, we create space for healing, both our own and others’.

Thank you for being a part of this journey.
