who is she

Kate Lilly

I started writing long before I ever planned to share any of it.

I’m an educator, creator, mother, and the author. I have published two books:

  • Drop the Mask, a guided journal focused on emotional awareness and self-reflection

  • she became anyway — a poetry collection on healing, identity, survival and becoming

the story of “terelliPOV”

I’m building terelliPOV into a platform for trauma-informed education, speaking and community. The name came from pieces of my children’s names — “ter” from Carter, “elli” from Ellie — woven together with the idea of perspective.

Somewhere inside motherhood, my perspective shifted completely.

The way I saw myself and the way I moved through the world changed.

terelliPOV became a space for that unfolding— the rebuilding, the reflection, the writing, and the versions of myself I met along the way.
