Kristy Malik

Meet Kristy Malik: the fearless writer and speaker who doesn't shy away from the tough stuff. With a no-holds-barred approach to life's messiest moments, she's the queen of tackling taboo topics, from healing after hardship to figuring out how to live as a Catholic woman in today's society without losing who you are.  Kristy's talks are a mix of hard truths and hearty laughs, proving that authenticity is her superpower—and possibly her favorite "A" word. She's like the cool aunt who can quote Scripture and knows the best memes, making her the life of any spiritual shindig.

Kristy has been Catholic since the cradle, but don't let that fool you—she's had more reboots than your grandma's computer, with a heart conversion in 2011 that could rival any rom-com makeover. 

She's been featured on the 'Embrace: Catholic Moms Conference' in 2011, on the Youtube series "Truth with Handles: The Conversation," as well as various events in the DC area (and beyond!)

At home, Kristy is less "domestic goddess" and more "chaos coordinator," navigating everything from kindergarten crafts to teen drama. She's the kind of mom who uses her teen's lingo (often incorrectly, to the delight of her audience), and partners in crime with her husband—the guy she's been laughing with since their awkward teen years. Together, they're figuring out this wild ride of parenting, one epic family game night and a few 'why did we do this again?' moments at a time. Kristy's all about embracing the beautiful chaos of each stage, armed with a sense of humor and the occasional cry for help, all while loving the unique challenges and joys that each age brings. Her life may not be picture-perfect, but it's filled with love, laughter, and the occasional mystery stain.

Bombarded with "When's the book coming?" more times than she's been called "bruh" by her kids, she's diving in—clueless but driven, aiming to ensure no woman feels alone on her journey. She's on it!
