A long bio:
Karly Randolph Pitman is a writer, teacher, facilitator, mother, and poet who brings understanding and healing to overeating.
She weaves together the worlds of relational neuroscience, self compassion, and presence to help people gently let go of painful coping strategies and soften shame. Growing Humankindness, the cradle of her work, is fundamentally a change of heart – a new way of relating to our struggles.
Karly writes books and courses to support people in recovery from eating disorders and to bring healing to their relationships with food. She also offers group classes, speaking and training to deepen insight, soften isolation, and bring us home to ourselves. Her courses include The Book of Love, When Food is Your Mother, and Soften a Sugar Habit with Presence, Compassion and Grief.
She yearns to change our cultural conversation about connection, nourishment, and neediness so that we can better understand what drives our compulsive behaviors. She offers a non-pathologizing perspective about food compulsions and is passionate about sharing it with a wide variety of audiences. Karly is a published poet who writes a reader supported newsletter, O Nobly Born, to nurture a more compassionate world. And her personal experiences with anxiety, depression and eating disorders continue to ground, teach and soften her. You can find Karly at Growinghumankindness.com and in Austin, Texas, where she lives with her family and does as much as possible with her hands. In all she remains in awe of the human heart.

Media experience:
My work has been featured in the weight loss film, The Inner Weigh (2010), on media outlets like MSN, Yahoo!, Yahoo! Shine, Beliefnet.com, The Huffington Post, and scores of podcasts and radio shows. My approach is particularly good at helping people understand what drives their painful behaviors and feel greater compassion for their vulnerabilities.
I also have a background in journalism, having worked for The Tennessean, the Nashville daily paper, and as a freelance writer in my 20s.
