In NYC, Katie Sands is living the fast life and always going from meeting to meeting and then off to the next big city. And she didn’t just choose her blog name “Honestly Kate because it’s catchy–she’s on a mission to make the world a more authentic, relatable and honest place!

You recently wrote about authenticity and originality on your blog.
What’s the difference between the two, and why do you think it’s important to remember?

“This is a topic I’m very passionate about, as I feel it’s important for creatives to understand that not everything they do needs to be completely ‘original.’ In fact, almost nothing we do can be original, as we had to be influenced by something in order to come up with our ideas in the first place. Instead of trying to say something completely new, we should aim to say something in our own authentic way. We should take what speaks to us, and make that a pillar for what we base our creativity on.”

As a new mom, Lee Anne is connecting with women all around the world and proving the motherhood
is all about putting one foot in front of the other.

What’s been the most rewarding part of sharing both the celebrations and challenges of parenthood?

“The connection to other women, and the power to connect with other women. I love using my platform as a community, and sharing a common motherhood struggle that I am going through at the moment. In sharing my struggles, there are so many people who can benefit from it. Not only do I get to connect with other women, but my followers get to connect with other women. A lot of women who follow me have things in common that they don’t even know about, and being able to connect them has been really rewarding.”

What do you wear when you want to feel most confident (shoes included)?

“Even though I love a dressed-up moment every now and then, my everyday personal style is all about comfort and elevated basics! To me, nothing beats a pair of flattering jeans and a crisp white button-up shirt, especially when worn well. I gravitate towards comfort when it comes to footwear too, my shoe collection is full of statement sneakers, flatforms and block heels!”
