Stories about identity, change, and the many versions of ourselves
Karen Butz Webb writes and speaks with honesty, vulnerability, and humor about the different identities we carry, and what happens when we learn to acknowledge and embrace them all.
Welcome to my Kitchen Table
We all carry different versions of ourselves: the professional, the partner, the parent, the friend, the person we once were, and the person we are still becoming.
Through Essays From My Kitchen Table, I explore where those identities come from, what they have taught us, and how embracing each of them can bring greater clarity, acceptance, and peace.
