Poet, encourager, wife, and mom to five beautiful souls. I’m also someone who’s lived through the complexities of OCD and the deep impact of growing up in the church.

My journey has taken me through rigid beliefs, silent struggles, and eventually into a more spacious, grace-filled way of living. I’ve navigated the weight of religious baggage, wrestled with OCD, and learned to soften into self-love — not by fixing myself, but by finally embracing who I already am.

Hi friend, I’m Kimberly J Benedetti,

My words are a home for the misfits, the overthinkers, the weary believers, and the ones trying to find their way back to themselves. Simple words are my way of offering breath to the weary, hope to the tangled-hearted, and belonging to those who’ve felt like outsiders.

  • Love, Listen. Can you hear? It's the wind whispering "You are loved".

  • Love, Nothing is lost and nothing is wasted.

  • Love, Do not hide your light for anyone. Let it shine as bright as the sun.
