Who I Am

My name is Katie Schneider, a first-time author who lives in Minnesota with my three children. After navigating a childhood marked by family addiction, parental divorce, and the loss of both my sister and mother, I embarked on a journey of healing through therapy, writing, and rekindled faith. Through vulnerability and self-discovery, I transformed my deepest wounds into sources of strength and compassion.

Today, I balance motherhood and work with my passion for creative expression. I enjoy spending time with my children, attending church, embracing an active lifestyle, and building a community through sharing my writing. My poetry and reflections on healing have resonated with many who recognize their own struggles in my words.

I believe that our greatest challenges prepare us for our greatest purpose, and I remain dedicated to helping others find hope in their own journeys. My story is a testament to the power of forgiveness, faith, and the courage to begin again. I chose to share my story in the hope that it will reach someone who, like me, was always searching for encouragement and hope.

If my story finds its way to you, please know that you are not alone. You are loved, and your journey has purpose. Keep going, because everything you’ve faced so far has been part of the greater plan—and there is so much good ahead of you.
