Lower Your Expectations (and Other Life Skills) is a hilariously honest look at modern adulthood, written for anyone who’s tired of pretending life is supposed to be neat, balanced, or filtered. In this sharply funny and deeply relatable collection, Montana-based author and humorist Katie Simpson takes listeners on a joyride through everyday chaos—laundry mountains, social-media meltdowns, bad customer service, family drama, and the occasional menopausal moment of rage.

In Ken & Chaos: A Love Story, Katie Simpson invites readers into her world: a life built not on fairy tales, but on tractors, chickens, turkeys, Dairy Queen dates, menopause mood swings, and the occasional grease fire.

What if you discovered that the spiritual freedom you were searching for had been inside you all along? After years of following every rule, pleasing every person, and trying to stay in God’s “good graces,” Katie Simpson watched her carefully constructed life crumble — religion, marriage, and identity all at once. What followed wasn’t destruction; it was transformation.

What happens when the world takes everything from you — your children, your family, your faith, even your name — and dares you to keep standing? Katie Simpson’s My Own Damn Table is a raw, unflinching memoir of survival, betrayal, and the relentless fight to reclaim a life on her own terms. Raised in a home where love was conditional and safety was a myth, Katie grew up learning to shrink herself in order to survive.

In her bold and bitingly funny follow-up to My Own Damn Table, Katie Simpson returns with an unfiltered guide to surviving the circus of life without losing your mind—or your sense of humor. From gaslighters and guilt-trippers to cult-like workplaces and family drama, Katie pulls no punches as she teaches the fine art of protecting your peace, setting boundaries, and finding joy in the chaos. With sharp wit, hard-won wisdom, and stories that are equal parts hilarious and heart-wrenching, she shows how freedom begins the moment you stop apologizing for who you are.
