Hello friend! I’m Kim White, CEO. I’m known as the Chief Encouragement Officer and author of The Messy Middle, and I am thankful you’re here. I’m a wife, mother, grandmother, and lover of encouraging words. I write from my office, where I have way too many journals and highlighters, and there’s always a stack of books nearby. I share my words in various forms - written, spoken, and sung - and offer grace-focused wisdom and inspiration from my experiences. I’m in the messy middle of my life, still learning a few things, and I want to encourage you! 😊
What you can expect:
Encouragement to help you through the trials of daily life.
True life experiences are shared with honesty, integrity, and occasional snark.
Faith and God’s grace are important to me and are woven through all my writing.
Real talk and truth are peppered with humor because life is hard enough.

A Bit More About Kim:
I spend my days reading, writing, singing in an acoustic duo with my husband Rick, and loving on my grandchildren Jude and Lennon. 😉 And I drink coffee. Lots of coffee. I began my Substack writing journey after discovering what a welcoming and encouraging community exists here and I hope to add to it. I have always written encouraging words in one form or another and it’s nice to have a home for all my words. My mother gave me the best gift I ever received— the ability to read. She would have loved knowing people here were excited to read my words. I wrote my first post in her honor. 🤍
I write with vulnerability about my experiences and the knowledge I’ve gained— most of it the hard way. I share my Christian faith throughout my writing but I always strive to do so in a grace-focused way. I pray for you to see yourself in my stories, that they show how much you are loved and valued by God, and that you matter. I want my words of encouragement to inspire you to keep going, knowing there is a purpose to everything you are enduring. We all endure something, so we might as well be honest about it, laugh through it when we can, and come together to bear one another’s burdens. Life is easier that way! Let’s focus on the good and seek hope together.
