The WakeUp Protocol

For Katie McKenna, a licensed psychotherapist, trauma and eating disorder specialist, and integration guide, that questioning became the doorway. 

Raised in the Midwest and educated in Catholic school, she began to look beyond the scripts she inherited: the expectations of how life should look, who she should be, and what it meant to find happiness. That curiosity led her into new ways of seeing, new communities, and ultimately, a deeper relationship with her own truth.
