LET IT OUT

This week I spoke with Mimi Bouchard, founder of Activations. We covered neuroplasticity, habit stacking, trusting your intuition, why authenticity fuels innovation, and how Mimi grew her business through word of mouth and focusing on 10x opportunities instead of 2x improvements.LINKS AND SHOW NOTESActivation's Mimi's App: activations.com/katie - for 2 weeks free!Submit a question to our Mailbag episode here: https://www.speakpipe.com/letitoutttor if you rather write it: email: [email protected] Katie's Substack | IG: @letitouttt + @katiedalebout  | Zine shop is here! | Creative Clinic

This week, I spoke with Grace Abbott, founder of How To Go Freelance, about turning the skills you already have into a career, and how to modernize an existing business or brand without blowing it all up.We covered procrastination, niching down without shrinking yourself, making your work more visible, and knowing when to let go of clients, projects, and identities that have become too small. Grace also makes the case for trusting your soft skills, research, and taste in a changing job market and explains why sometimes the biggest thing standing between you and your next chapter is trying too hard to fix yourself.SHOW NOTES and RESOURCES: Grace Abbott |  Substack | IG @howtogofreelanceKatie's Substack | IG: @letitouttt and @katiedalebout  | Zine shop | Work with KD one-on-one | in a group  Listen to Episode 337 to hear about working one-on-one with KatieRead about one on one coaching here and book a free session with her here.Listen to Episode 403 to hear more about working with me (Katie) in a group :Read about group coaching (Creative Underdogs/In Process here) | sign up for the waitlist

This week on COMEBACKS, I spoke with Elizabeth Schild Kott, host of Too Niche and founder of Club Artist Way, about starting over and how stopping is the most important part of figuring out what's next. We talked about the changing internet, creativity, jealousy, unfinished ideas, getting quiet enough to hear your intuition, and why sometimes the best comeback is simply putting one foot in front of the other.LINKS AND SHOWNOTESElizabeth Online: ELIZABETHKOTT.COM | Listen to: TOO NICHE?CLUB ARTIST’S WAY ☆ Fall sessions now open for enrollment! Katie Online: Katie's Substack | IG: @letitouttt and @katiedalebout  | Zine shop | Work with KD one-on-one | in a group  Listen to Episode 337 to hear about working one-on-one with KatieRead about one on one coaching here and book a free session with her here.Listen to Episode 403 to hear more about working with me (Katie) in a group :Read about group coaching (Creative Underdogs/In Process here) | sign up for the waitlist

From a marriage she knew was ending long before she admitted it to a 48-hour move from Silicon Valley to New York, Amber Rae and I talk about why some of us stay too long while others leap too fast. If you’ve ever wondered whether you’re honoring your instincts or just avoiding discomfort, this conversation is for you.You’ll discover:The question that reveals whether you’re staying from love, fear, growth, or guiltThe surprising way a “safe” relationship can fuel creativity, risk-taking, and reinventionHow voicing sexual fear, shame, and insecurity can become the beginning of real intimacyAmber also gets candid about control, body image, Adderall, eating disorders, and the shift from chasing outward approval to choosing what actually feels good. We unpack people pleasing, direct communication, friendship dynamics, and learning to tolerate the discomfort of disappointing others when you stop abandoning yourself.If you feel stuck between knowing and doing, keep outgrowing old patterns but hesitate to make the leap, or find yourself looking for help figuring out what you already know deep down, listen up. Amber left me with a simple but powerful challenge: face the hard truths you’ve been avoiding, and freedom is often on the other side.SHOW NOTES & RESOURCES:Follow Amber on Instagram @heyamberrae| Feelings Journal |  Amber's NewsletterKatie's Substack | IG: @letitouttt and @katiedalebout  | Zine shop Work with KD one-on-one | in a group  Listen to Episode 337 to hear about working one-on-one with KatieRead about one on one coaching here and book a free session with her here.Listen to Episode 403 to hear more about working with me (Katie) in a group :Read about group coaching (Creative Underdogs/In Process here) | sign up for the waitlistIf you liked this episode, try this one from the archive: Episode 477: Erin Claire Jones on Decision Making in Career & Relationships & How Human Design Can Help

This week, I sat down with Cosmic RX founder Madi Murphy. I met her when I wandered into the coffee shop she owned in Brooklyn nearly a decade ago, and since then, she’s launched her own show, The Cosmic RX, published her first book, and started a family.Madi’s comeback began when she decided to leave behind her brick-and-mortar businesses, stepping out of her comfort zone and into what she calls the “Cosmic Zone.” We talk about her trademark dispute with Starbucks over a drink she created, the public backlash that followed, and how that experience ultimately became the catalyst for greater confidence, visibility, and a completely different life path. Plus, she breaks down Saturn cycles and transits, the importance of embodiment over endlessly consuming information, and trusting your own timing.SHOW NOTES & RESOURCES:Learn more about Madi Murphy here | on Substack | @iammadimurphy & @thecosmicrx | CosmicRx Radio with Madi MurphyKatie's Substack | IG: @letitouttt and @katiedalebout  | Zine shop Work with KD one-on-one | in a group  Listen to Episode 337 to hear about working one-on-one with KatieRead about one on one coaching here and book a free session with her here.Listen to Episode 403 to hear more about working with me (Katie) in a group :Read about group coaching (Creative Underdogs/In Process here) | sign up for the waitlistExplore my Creative ClinicIf you liked this episode, try this one from the archive: Episode 335: But You’re Still So Young, Redefining Our 30s with Kayleen Schaefer
