The Letters of Katie Wilson

A simple splash of pink on a school coat opens up a reflection on inherited stereotypes, changing attitudes and seeing one another with compassion.

A look at the “concealers” we all use — makeup, humour, alcohol, perfectionism — and how they protect us from the parts of ourselves we fear others will notice.

A gentle reflection on the carers group at Church House in Hitchin, where lived wisdom, quiet compassion, and intergenerational acceptance create a rare kind of safety — and where a trans person finds genuine welcome in the most ordinary, grace‑filled moments.

In this episode I talk about the quiet feeling that I might be called to start a gentle prayer group. I share the mix of excitement and fear inside me, my long history of doubting myself, and my longing for small opportunities to pray for others. I explore the psychology behind self doubt, reflect on what the Bible says about fragile beginnings, and talk honestly about waiting for God to open the right door.

A brief reflection on the texts that rush us and the text that steadies us — and what our reactions to both reveal about our longing to be spoken to in deeper ways.

A quiet reflection on Maundy Thursday, identity, and the ache of speaking words that don’t match the self within. Katie shares a moment of worship that revealed the gap between appearance and truth, and the hope of one day being fully seen.

A chance encounter in a shop reminded me why I keep doing this work: a mother thanked me for being there when her daughter first came out, hugged me, and turned my doubt into purpose. A quiet reflection on small acts, community, and the power of acknowledgement.

A thoughtful reflection on Tiger Woods’ rise, struggles, and the human cost of perfection. This episode explores the pressures of fame, the psychological toll of injury and identity loss, and why even the strongest among us need honest support and compassionate care. A gentle, faith‑rooted look at resilience, purpose, and the hope of finding rest beyond performance.

A gentle reflection on how a simple fantasy football league became an unexpected lesson in perfectionism, intuition, and trust. Katie shares how building a team with a £50 million budget revealed deeper truths about fear, overthinking, and the pressure to “get everything right.” Through football, faith, and real‑life parallels, she explores why the best choices aren’t always the flashiest — and why trusting your own judgement matters more than chasing perfection.

A reflection on the habit of longing for Friday, the psychology behind wishing time away, and the biblical call to live fully in the day God has given us.
