Cat Wityk

 

Cat’s story begins at the private Catholic schools of Towson, Maryland, which exposed all the ways she was a weirdo misfit. A highly sensitive person, deeply introspective and devoted to authenticity, she had always been a star forced into a square-shaped cookie cutter. From age nine, she coped by writing short stories, poetry, and journaling essays. To break free from that environment, she transplanted to North Carolina where she studied Mass Communication and French at UNC Asheville -- a calling to understand connection. This theme continued post-graduation as she pursued a brief career in film and marketing. Throughout the years, she has splashed around in nearly every type of creative medium, from music to drawing to martial arts, but ultimately came back to her roots as a creative writer.


Cat is now an Inward & Artward certified creative facilitator at Story Parlor, a martial arts coach at Rogue Combat Club, and a freelance editor for fellow fiction authors. A diverse artist with a well-rounded understanding of the creative process, Cat is uniquely positioned to help creatives of all kinds find their own ways into flow, overcome blocks with a growth mindset, and practice decolonizing their unique and individual power. She is passionate about creative expression, and all the ways we honor our authentic self, in resistance to a patriarchal society designed to homogenize its people. Cat is passionately driven to embolden others to reclaim their wild voice and to hone its stellar edges.
