katie dalebout on breakups, pivoting, comparison, and the power of creative community

Katie Dalebout is a writer and podcaster, and the founder of let it out, a community for sharing *soft stories*, the tender tales that connect us. Her weekly interview show that began in 2013 now has over 4 million downloads and in 2019 she started Spiraling, a co-hosted anxiety show.

Her book let it out (Hay House in 2016) is an interactive guide to journaling. She’s spoken at Kripalu, Soho House, and The Wing and now runs a journaling based creative clinic and leads an online workshop for independent podcasters.

Katie and I met when I took her Let [a Podcast] Out course and became fast friends during a time when we were both navigating huge transitions. In this episode, we talk about how integrating after a breakup inspired her latest Kits project, her nomadic period of travel, pivoting after a career bump, letting go & surrender, comparison and finding relief and power in staying in our own lane, and the importance of mental health and community for creativity.
