LET IT OUT
Katie Dalebout
Long-form conversations with a variety friends and strangers. Guests include musicians, writers, chefs, parents, painters, designers, herbalists, therapists, comedians, and actors. Here they candidly discuss how they spend their days. We cover connection, creativity, productivity, well-being, sex, love, body image, transitions, and more. Sometimes things get deep and philosophical and sometimes they are funny and light because life is both.

Listen - my skin is really sensitive so I don't try out a lot of products, but I've been using Bioclarity for YEARS and I'm really excited they're sponsoring the podcast. They're a clean, green, skin care company that is cruelty-free, paraben-free, sulfate-free, and have no artificial fragrances. It's helped me a lot with the hyper pigmentation from acne scars. I use their clear skin routine for combination/oily breakout prone skin. They have other skin care regiments but that's the one that I use right now. It comes with everything you need to make your skin look great. It's not overly drying, it helps with redness and events out my skin tone. It's a 3 step process cleanse, treat and restore. I used their spot treatment for a pimple I had the other day but when I woke up the next day and it was gone. I honestly love this stuff and I hope you guys give it a try because they're offering Let It Out listeners a really good deal.
