Hi I'm Katy,

I’m a writer, content creator and blogger based in Kent - and a Mama to 3 beautiful babies (Alfie 8, Evie 5 and Rory 2).

I write about all sorts – grief, loss, maternal mental health, body positivity, lifestyle, fashion, supporting local, travel and the day to day realities and humour in parenting. I’m partial to a poem, a blog post, an article, an Instagram story, a video chat – basically, I’m all about the words! I love the community that I’ve built by chatting about my daily parenting journey over on instagram (@mintrainbow_mama) and I’m so grateful for the daily support and humour from my amazing group of followers.

Basically, I’m pretty normal. I love the beach. And the colour pink. Big fan of coffee. And cake. And working out. And dancing. And peonies. (Would I even be a blogger if I didn’t like peonies?!) And dresses with trainers. And leopard print. And sunshine. And reading. And Schitt’s Creek. And wine. And the kids. Most of the time. I’d say, at least 70% of the time. Maybe 65%.

I wrote The Tide Inside after my wonderful Dad died of Motor Neurone Disease in 2019. He was our everything and his death left a huge hole in our lives. My son, who was 5 at the time has struggled with the loss of his beloved Grandad and best friend and I wrote the book as a way for him to visualise his feelings and to use as a resource for supporting him through this incredibly difficult time. He is seven now and still loves it :-)

I hope you love the book, it means the absolute world that you're even reading this!

Thank you,

Katy
