Goodreads asked Kathleen Trotter:

How do you get inspired to write?

Kathleen Trotter From listening to interesting podcasts, reading thought-provoking books, and being curious about the world.

Anyone who knows me knows that — for better or worse, since my quotes and mantras can be annoying — it is often hard to disentangle me from whatever book I am reading; I become momentarily enmeshed. If I find the information useful it then becomes woven into the fabric of both my life and my fitness philosophy. All information is more than simply information to me — learning is an opportunity for growth, but also for joy. I love the act of learning and incorporating that new knowledge into my work and personal life.

A few of the thinkers and authors who have influenced me are Brené Brown, Carol Dweck, Tim Ferriss, and Anne Lamott.
