LET IT OUT

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!

She was first on the podcast in 2017 when her first book The Wellness Project came out. She has a new book out now which I genuinely love and have been learning to cook from. We catch up in this episode about what the pandemic has taught her, procrastination and creativity, having to wear multiple hats as an artist, intimacy in relationships, being adult only children, and of course she came with her HAPPY THANK YOU MORE PLEASE.Show notes:- Phoebe's book SIBO Made Simple- Phoebe's earlier books The Wellness Project and In the Small Kitchen- Connect with Phoebe on The Web | Instagram | Facebook- Food Psych Podcast- The Great British Bake Off- Tik Tok- Creative Underdogs- Follow @letitouttt on Instagram- Katie's book- Let It Out Kits If you liked this episode try out:- Episode 180 with Phoebe 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.

This week I spoke with Meena Harris, a Harvard-educated lawyer, best-selling children's book author, founder and CEO of Phenomenal, and mom. Meena's outstanding work in social change and empowerment is in her blood - she's the niece of vice president elect Kamala Harris and the daughter of Kamala's sister Maya Harris, a civil rights lawyer and public policy advocate, who once led the nation's largest ACLU affiliate. Meena's first book Kamala and Maya's Big Ideais based on her mom and aunt, and her second book Ambitious Girl was just published. We talk about the inspiration and process behind both books, as well as the need for inclusion within children's literature. We also spoke about community building, organizing, writing, motherhood, friendship, being an only child raised by successful powerful women, and more. Show notes:- Meena's books Kamala and Maya's Big Idea and Ambitious Girl- Phenomenal- Meena Harris, Building That Brand (Article)- Connect with Meena on Instagram- Creative Underdogs If you liked this episode try out:- Valerie Chaney on Real Girl, Relationships, Self-Love, & Cultural Influences on Girls new to *let it out* --> start with these linkskatie's site: https://katiedalebout.com/our start here guide: https://letitouttt.com/general/start-here/++ LET IT OUT letter katie's bookLET IT OUT kits  Sponsors: Receive $15 off your first Public Goods order with NO MINIMUM purchase.

This is the fourth episode of the HappyThankYouMorePlease series we started this year, where each guest comes with three cues:-something they’re happy about-something they’re grateful for-something they want more ofWhat’s great about this series is that I can bring back guests, which is what I got to do this week with my close friend Christine. We recorded this earlier this week at my kitchen table over wine and snacks. It’s a cool conversation with one of my favorite people who I’m constantly learning from. In this episode we talked about: skill & personality in work, creativity and productivity and what helps her with both, the uncertainty of being a freelancer, becoming more financially responsible, attachment theory and boundaries in relationships, learning new skills, change and not staying stagnant, friendship, and she recommends a few other things.Show notes:- Christine's Youtube channel- Christine's ceramics- Christine's safety razor tutorial video- The Four Agreements (Book)- Attached (Book)- Gurbet by Özdemir Erdoğan (Song)- Phoebe Bridgers (Musician)- Christine's monthly World Wide FM Set- Video of Katie's skin care routine on Christine's Youtube-Christine's gift guide -LET IT OUT gift guide & home gift guide-LET IT OUT holiday workshops If you liked this episode try out:- HappyThankYouMorePlease with Erin Lovell Verinder and Noah Checkle- HappyThankYouMorePlease with Ella Wiznia new to *let it out* --> start with these linkskatie's site: https://katiedalebout.com/our start here guide: https://letitouttt.com/general/start-here/++ 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.
