Kimberly Eddy writes about the messy, beautiful reality of second acts, where faith gets questioned, budgets get stretched, and survival mode finally gives way to something that feels like breathing.

Born and raised outside Detroit in the late '60s, Kimberly studied design at Northern Michigan University before following her wanderlust to Europe, backpacking across central and eastern Europe and settling in Austria before returning home. She married her skilled tradesman husband Martin, raised five kids (now productive adults with families of their own), and worked various design and print industry jobs while taking on freelance projects.

When manufacturing jobs started disappearing overseas in the early 2000s and their income plummeted, Kimberly became an expert at extreme frugality, not by choice, but by necessity. Her early books on money-saving techniques came from those survival years, teaching her that poverty isn't a money management problem; it's a stress response to impossible situations.

Now in her mid-50s and living in Thomasville, Georgia, Kimberly runs a web design business and is reworking her older resources with a healthier perspective on what success actually looks like. She's walked through multiple versions of faith: from nominal Catholicism through evangelical and fundamentalist phases, and back to the rhythms of liturgy and the church year, learning that wrestling with questions isn't failure, it's growth.

Her writing is for women navigating life's transitions with grace, whether that's empty nests, financial stress, creative dreams, or simply learning that starting over at 50 isn't failure. It's brave.

She believes women deserve respect, authentic community, and permission to define success on their own terms, beyond the hustle culture and productivity obsession that once defined her own journey.

When she's not writing or designing websites, you'll find her with a book, a paintbrush, exploring Thomasville's coffee shops, or planning her next garden. She shares her life with Martin, their Keeshond Indy, and two Maine Coon cats who definitely run the household.
