I’m not doing this again. LOCK IN.

But really - how did you KNOW

The Growing Up Saved book launch was not what I planned. And as a neurodivergent woman … things not going as planned is like … physically painful.

No one really knows what happened, but books didn’t make it to warehouses, orders got bottlenecked, and a lot of you waited weeks for something that either never came or arrived looking like it had survived a hurricane.
I’ve been gutted about it. Obviously.

But I am Kathleen Kelly and yes I know she ends up losing in the end, but let’s just take some creative liberties here.

Here’s what the book actually is, for anyone who doesn’t know:

It’s for the anyone who grew up in church (or whose faith was nurtured at any point in their lives) feeling like you couldn’t get it right even though you were saying the right things, praying the right prayers, performing a faith your body could never quite hold. It’s about what happens when the thing you built your life on starts to crack — and what it looks like to rebuild something that actually fits. it’s about what spiritual abuse requires in us, the cost of unraveling beliefs that harmed you, and what happens to a child when neurodivergence is treated as sin, and it’s about the long, slow work of learning to trust yourself and to believe that God doesn’t hate you.
