LET IT OUT

This week one of my favorite authors returns. Kayleen Schaefer is a journalist and author of Text Me When You Get Home, she also wrote the bestselling Kindle Single memoir Fade Out. Her work has appeared in The New York Times, Vanity Fair, The New Yorker, Vogue, and many other publications. Her new book, But You’re Still So Young, is out now. It follows eight people struggling to make the leap to adulthood. It includes sociological research and weaves in her own story. In this episode we talk about how this generation is redefining what it's like to be in our 30s. And how a checklist that sociologists created in the 1950s is no longer relevant, or even possible for many. The checklist was: "finish school, leave home, make your own money, marry and become a parent." We talk about how race, class, and privilege play into the ability and desire to meet these old benchmarks. Plus, we cover Kayleen's writing rituals, how they've changed, her advice to writers, and more. Show notes:- Kayleen's new book, But You're Still So Young- Connect with Kayleen on the web | Instagram- Sign up for our LET IT OUT letter to get show notes sent straight to your inbox - LET IT OUT kits- Please join me in supporting the Fair Fight Initiative.

Mari Orkenyi and I became fast friends. Our conversation really came alive in the second half and I didn't want to cut anything out, so this is part two of last week's episode. Mari is a Contemplative Educator, Mindfulness and Compassion Teacher and Writer. Her work lives in the space where Contemplative Practices, Buddhist Psychology and Western Psychotherapy intersect. As a native Brazilian immigrant with Hungarian roots, living in Los Angeles by way of Spain and Mexico, her multicultural perspectives and backgrounds are continuously informing her work.

Mari Orkenyi and I became friends the moment we met. Our conversation flowed and I didn’t want to leave anything out so I decided to break it into two parts. Mari is a Contemplative Educator, Mindfulness and Compassion Teacher and Writer. Her work lives in the space where Contemplative Practices, Buddhist Psychology and Western Psychotherapy intersect. As a native Brazilian immigrant with Hungarian roots, living in Los Angeles by way of Spain and Mexico, her multicultural perspectives and backgrounds are continuously informing her work. In this episode we talk about the connection between mindfulness and creativity, allowing yourself to take up space as you are today, motherhood, boundaries, identifying as an artist, growing up in Brazil, catching ideas, and much more. Show notes:- Check out Mari's work on The Web and Instagram- Download our FREE new zine, "The Creative Combination"- Sign up for our LET IT OUT letter to get show notes straight to your inbox - Katie's book- Use code "SPRING" for 25% off the WRITE Kit!- full show notes here Sponsors:Join me live for the after show at stereo.com/katiedalebout.Get $15 off your first Public Goods order with NO MINIMUM purchase by using code "KATIE" at checkout.Have delicious food delivered and receive $25 off your first Daily Harvest box with code "LETITOUT".Visit betterhelp.com/letitout to get 10% off your first month of professional counseling.

This week I spoke with my friend Helen Phelan, a body neutral intuitive pilates instructor and founder of digital pilates and mindful fitness platform, Helen Phelan Studio. As an ex-professional dancer and eating disorder survivor, Helen's approach to exercise is based on her lived experience that diet culture keeps people stuck in a bad body image loop that makes them dread movement despite its mood and energy boosting benefits. Her methodology is movement in a non-harmful, post-recovery form. We met when I took a class of hers in NYC and have collaborated on events and digital workshops (available here). She's been featured in InStyle, HuffingtonPost, and Well+Good. When she's not working she is snuggling her rescue pup or hiking in the Catskills. In this episode, we discuss communication, patience, bodies, movement, pilates, eating disorder recovery, romantic relationships, and more. Show notes:- Check out Helen's online platform, Helen Phelan Studio- The Support the AAPI Community Fund to #StopAsianHate- Sign up for our LET IT OUT letter to get show notes straight to your inbox - Katie's book- LET IT OUT kits (use code "BIRTHDAY" for 20% off the Podcast Kit!) - full show notes here Sponsors:Join me live for the after show at stereo.com/katiedalebout.Get 15% off your first order at Jenni Kayne with code LETITOUT. 

This week I brought back on the podcast for the third time, a friend of mine, writer, and host of the One Part Podcast, Jessica Murnane. Jessica's second book Know Your Endo helps people who experience endometriosis feel less alone. In this conversation we catch up, chat about making it through hard moments, and having to keep moving while feeling things intensely. She's one of the most empathetic people I know. We also get into a deep dialogue about social media, our ever changing and complex relationship with it, and how it relates to memories. We talk about her creative process, her writing process during the pandemic in the midst of homeschooling her son, and she shares her HappyThankYouMorePlease prompts. Show notes:- Last chance to join semester 2 of Creative Underdogs!- Connect with Jessica on The Web | Instagram- Please join me in supporting Exalt, an organization that provides New York City youth with a roadmap to change their lives.- Sign up for our LET IT OUT letter to get show notes straight to your inbox - Katie's book- LET IT OUT kits- full show notes here- We're hiring!

This week is part 2 of my conversation with chef and author Julia Turshen. She has coauthored numerous cookbooks and is one of the great cooks and writers of our time. Julia not only loves cooking and writing about food, she also loves talking about it and hosts her own podcast which we spoke about in this week's episode. I could have spoken to her for two more hours and hope I get to in the future. We discussed her creative process, the process of coauthoring books, body image, diet culture and the food industry, the quiet power of cookbooks, how to avoid "co-dep cooking," cooking for others vs. cooking for one, and romantic relationships. Show notes:- Creative Underdogs starts March 1st!- Connect with Julia on The Web | Instagram | Twitter- Sign up for our LET IT OUT letter to get show notes straight to your inbox - Katie's book- LET IT OUT kits- full show notes here Sponsors: Join me live for the after show at stereo.com/katiedalebout.Visit athleticgreens.com/katie to get your FREE year supply of Vitamin D and 5 free travel packs today.  Receive $15 off your first Public Goods order with NO MINIMUM purchase with code KATIE at checkout.

Julia has coauthored numerous cookbooks and has written for TheNew York Times, the Washington Post, the Wall Street Journal, Vogue, Bon Appétit, Food & Wine, Saveur, and more. She’s one of the great cooks and writers of our time and The New York Times has described her “at the forefront of the new generation of authentic, approachable authors.” Julia not only loves cooking and writing about food, she also loves talking about it and hosts her own podcast, Keep Calm and Cook On. She’s genuine, talented, and kind. I loved this conversation with her that spanned a wide range of topics, including her creative process, working with big names on coauthored books, her new cookbook Simply Julia, body image, diet culture and the food industry, perfectionism as it relates to capitalism, effortlessness actually taking effort, connection, cooking for one, and more.new to *let it out* --> start with these linkskatie's siteour start here guideCREATIVE UNDERDOGS++ LET IT OUT letter  katie's bookLET IT OUT kits  Sponsors: Join me live for the after show at stereo.com/katiedaleboutVisit athleticgreens.com/katie to get your FREE year supply of Vitamin D and 5 free travel packs today.  Get 15% off your first order at jennikayne.com with code LETITOUT. Show notes:- Creative Underdogs starts March 1st!- Join me live for the weekly after show on Stereo!

This week I spoke with visual artist Camilla Engström. Our conversation flew by and we ended up talking for nearly 3 hours, so I decided to break this up into two parts. In this first half, you’ll hear about her her upbringing in a small town in Sweden, her parents meeting in China, her move to Shanghai, her unplanned move to NYC to study fashion, and how she ended up eventually becoming a painter. We move up to the present and talk about how moving to LA impacted her personally and professionally, and what her life is like now including her habits, routines, and creative process. She talks about her meditation and journaling practices, art influences, and her thoughts on spirituality, including what happens when we die. Show notes:- Connect with Camilla on The Web | Instagram- Apply for Creative Underdogs (semester 2 begins March 1st!)- Join me for my new weekly live show on Stereo every Thursday at noon PT!- The Power of Now by Eckhart Tolle (Book)- Georgia O'Keeffe (Artist)- Hilma af Klint (Artist) If you liked this episode try out:- Getting to Center and Being In Process: Marlee Grace Returns- Artist & Entrepreneur Whitney Bell on Overcoming Trauma, Spoon Theory, Creativity, and Being Present in Your Body new to *let it out* --> start with these linkskatie's site: https://katiedalebout.com/our start here guide: https://letitouttt.com/general/start-here/CREATIVE UNDERDOGS++ LET IT OUT letter katie's bookLET IT OUT kits  Sponsors: This episode is supported by Nutrafol, a hair supplement that I’ve been using and loving.
