Leaving Instagram with Amelia Hruby, PhD, Host of Off The Grid & Founder of Softer Sounds Studio
This week I spoke to writer and podcaster Amelia Hruby. She’s also the author of the book Fifty Feminist Mantras. In this conversation we primarily focus on one aspect of her work, the topic of her show: Off the Grid: Leaving Social Media Without Losing All Your Clients. We discuss her experience of leaving social media and the feelings that come with navigating Instagram both personally and professionally. She shares how the boundaries she set up for herself failed her and how the pros of leaving Instagram outweighed the cons. We unpack the nuances of the social capital of instagram, parasocial relationships on it, how our use of it evolved since we first got it, and the emotions tied up in using it socially. We spent so much time on this topic, that she will be back for part two where we will focus on podcasting, from what makes a good conversation to where she sees the future of the industry and more.Show Notes:- Our newsletter to get show notes + more.- Instgram me: @letitouttt or I'm @katiedalebout- A few spots in the Creative Clinic: info here- Amelia's book, Fifty Feminist Mantras- Find Amelia's work & podcasts on the Web- SPONSOR: this episode is sponsored by Paleovalley--click here for 15% off your first order!- SPONSOR: this episode is also sponsored by Nutrafol--get $10 off by clicking here and using code letitout at checkout!- For book recs, our bookshelf here - and I made a shop with recs ...with shelves for guests Thanks so much for listening to this podcast.

"Just Swing at the Balls Coming at You": Andi Interviews Me
This week is a clip from an interview I did earlier this year on Andi Eaton Alleman's podcast. In this episode, we discuss: how our tiny decisions shape us, cultivating friendships as adults, "middles" in relationships, failure and why success teaches us nothing, procrastinating out of fear and overwhelm rather than laziness, "protecting yourself from your own mind," perception, and more.

"Queering in Friendships": Rae McDaniel, Sex Therapist & Author of Gender Magic Returns
This week Rae McDaniel is back. Rae is a non-binary gender and sex therapist who works primarily with transgender/non-binary/questioning folks transitioning their gender identity. We talk about how everybody has an opportunity to look at their gender identity and decide how they want to express it to see they want to present themselves. You might remember from our last episode they were writing a book. It's out now and called: Gender Magic—I read an early copy and loved it. We covered some of my favorite parts like how they see gender as a galaxy, human centered design thinking, how they approach decision making, naming fear rather than ignoring it, evolving personal style and the importance of kinship through “queering” intimacy in friendships, and much more. Let us know if you listened and Happy Pride!

Mindful Space Design: Anjie Cho Returns
You may remember Anjie from her several other appearances here over the years, most recently, the in-person feng shui consulting session she did for me in my apartment. This time, in her fifth appearance on this podcast, we give some updates from making the adjustments she suggested on our last episode, plus we talk about her new book, some factors she can pinpoint that impacted her career success, and I took some questions from others including space and home adjustments for relationships, and how to adjust and compromise when merging styles when moving in with a new partner. And the question she gets most often from couples: what to do when one person values consistency and familiarity and the other loves novelty and moving around furniture. Since 1999, Anjie has been designing spaces informed by the ancient practice of feng shui and tailored to each individual’s needs, which you’ll get a taste of in this. She’s been featured everywhere from The New York Times to Domino Magazine; she’s a New York State registered architect; co-founder of the Mindful Design Feng Shui School; and author of the book Holistic Spaces and the newly published Mindful Homes.

Perfection Bubbles Burst: Musician Sam Burton on Collaboration, Tarot, Criticism & More
This week I spoke with Sam Burton. He’s an artist originally from Utah now living in my neighborhood in LA. Sam came over a few weeks ago and we drank tea and talked about everything from how he began playing music, to how he approaches collaboration, craft, and creativity. After spending time studying Jungian psychology, he began reading tarot for himself and others. We spoke about how that impacts his songwriting as well as dream work, typology and Myers-Briggs. He’s candid about how “perfection bubbles” burst, the value of connection, and how constructive feedback given well has shaped his sound. We get into what he’s learned about sustaining a career in music, touring, maintaining a beginner's mind, external validation and criticism, his thoughts on love, nature, friendship, the music that shaped him, and more. I especially loved this one, Sam is deeply introspective, humble, easy to talk to, and wise.

This week I spoke with Jésabel DC. She runs a digital organization studio where she helps people with anxiety organize their digital lives. I was one of them, which is how we met. We talked about the systems she helped me make, how I've struggled to sustain them, and how I can evolve her systems. With a background in psychology and design, she specializes in turning chaotic digital environments (i.e., inboxes, files, notes, calendars) into playful, functional spaces. She tells how she got into this, and what we can do to feel less overwhelmed with constant correspondence flying at us. She defines anxiety-aware communication, gives advice on managing undefined relationships, prioritizing what matters, friend assistance and more.
