AUTHOR | DIRECTOR | PRODUCER

Kimberly Warner is an award-winning author, filmmaker, speaker, and essayist whose work explores chronic illness, identity, embodiment, grief, and the search for meaning inside uncertainty. Her writing has been praised by Publishers Weekly and Kirkus for its lyricism, emotional intelligence, and philosophical depth.

Warner’s acclaimed debut memoir, Unfixed (Empress Editions, 2025), emerged from her widely followed serialized Substack of the same name, where she quickly cultivated a devoted readership drawn to her rare ability to illuminate the emotional and existential realities of living inside an unpredictable neurological system. In Warner’s world, water becomes both metaphor and lived experience: disorientation, drift, immersion, survival.

A sought-after voice on resilience, uncertainty, and the human capacity for adaptation, Warner speaks nationally on chronic illness, identity, narrative medicine, and finding steadiness in an unfixed world. She has served on editorial boards, hosted panels at leading institutions, and contributed to medical education initiatives focused on embodiment, patient experience, and meaning-centered care.

For readers of Between Two Kingdoms, Famesick, and The Daily Stoic, Warner’s work sits at the intersection of memoir, philosophy, and emotional inquiry: intellectually rigorous, deeply vulnerable, and profoundly humane.

She continues to publish weekly essays, interviews, and films exploring the hidden intelligence within adversity and the quiet beauty of lives that refuse to resolve neatly.
