Katianna Lindley is an author, speaker, and event architect based in Fort Wayne, Indiana. She is the creator of The Collective Inhale — the moment our nervous systems stop fighting separately and remember how to breathe together.

Her work is for anyone who has ever been too much and not enough at the same time. Anyone whose head won’t stop spinning and doesn’t know where to put it all. Anyone so weighted down by self-expectation and disconnection that joy started to feel like something that happened to other people.

Katianna holds a Master’s in Higher Education Administration from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and is a PMP candidate. She has spent fifteen years studying human connection and group dynamics through her work as founder and lead event architect of bella&fern, a full-service event planning firm operating since 2020.

The Collective Inhale doesn’t fix you. It sees you.

You were never broken. You were just waiting for somewhere to land.

Her debut memoir, Gravity, is forthcoming.
