Kathi Lipp

Main Session Presenter
Kathi Lipp is a national speaker, bestselling author of more than 20 books, including But I’m Not a Wicked Stepmom, and host of the popular Clutter Free Academy podcast. She has spent years equipping women and families to live with more peace, purpose, and freedom.
As a proud wife, mom, and stepmom, Kathi understands firsthand the joys and challenges of blending families. She and her husband Roger have navigated the ups and downs of stepparenting with a mix of faith, humor, and hard-won wisdom—and they’re still standing (and still laughing). Kathi’s passion is helping other stepparents feel seen and supported, giving practical tools and honest encouragement for building connection in imperfect, real-life families.
When she’s not writing, speaking, or podcasting, you’ll find Kahi tending chickens on her mountain property in Northern California or gathering around the table with her (very blended, very beloved) family.
