    How to Evolve On & Offline? ✷ 2026 Christine Nguyen on Pregnancy, Productivity, & Beginnings!

    My close friend Christine came over on New Year’s Day and we caught up on what’s ahead. We talk about friendship, big life transitions, and the constant evolution we all experience. She’s candid about how she’s changed creatively, professionally, and personally, including navigating freelance work amid uncertainty, and her excitement about becoming a parent and how pregnancy has unexpectedly fueled her productivity. We reflect on our last interviews, what she’s learned since, and the importance of staying adaptable. She’s quietly shown me how to move through change with poise and loved getting to have a time capsule conversation of this time in her life. It's a warm, reflective conversation about staying adaptable, new beginnings and staying on nodding terms with past versions of ourselves. Let us know if you listen!

    Christine Nguyen on Film, Freelance, YouTube, Style, Breakups, and more! (RERUN of Ep 193) Chrissstttiiine

    *This episode originally aired in 2017. I made a new intro/ reaction to it. It's my first conversation ever with my now very dear friend. Look out for an updated conversation between us next week.  January 2017 Today's conversation is one of the rare occasions where I make a friend live on the podcast. This conversation exceeded my expectation of what Christine would be like live. She was every bit as thoughtful, earnest, and wise as she comes off in the hundreds of YouTube videos she's published. Christine went to film school and simultaneously began on YouTube when she was just 18 and has been uploading to her chanel ever since. Her videos range from home decor to film photography to make-up to design to music. We get into everything from a cultivating a career as a freelancer to recovering after a tough breakup to handling aging and body image and finding a community. We also talk about  style, religion, family,  travel and more. I loved meeting her and having this meandering conversation which I think you'll love too.  Notes from the Show: -Find Chrissstttiiine on Instagram | YouTube | Twitter | Tumblr | blog -My book Let It Out: A Journey Through Journaling  Available on Amazon, Barnes & Noble or iBooks. -Sign-up for my newsletter to get updates on where I'll be and what I'm loving! -the apartment and home tours she does Recs from the show:  -Badbutnotgood on Spotify -the Marco Polo tea she loves... you can also find it at Dean & Deluca in NYC (or other areas) -Book — anything by Haruki Murakami -Movie — This is England, The 400 Blows, Fight Club -TV - Freaks and Geeks, Vice News, Sex in the City -Podcast - The Daily

    Why We Eat Our Feelings (and What to Do Instead)—Tricia Nelson Explains

    In this episode, I talk with author and emotional-eating expert Tricia Nelson about why we turn to food for comfort, what emotional eating actually is (it’s not about willpower), and how to build a life that makes late-night kitchen raids less inevitable. We get into compulsions, body image, aging, intimacy, the “tiger out of the cage” metaphor, and why healing has way more to do with buried feelings and stress patterns than with food itself. It’s an honest, tender conversation about breaking cycles, lowering pressure, and learning to feel instead of numb.

    Grief, Rock Bottoms, Ruts, and Leveling Up with Jessica Gill of To Be Magnetic

    What Happens When You Actually Feel Feelings Instead of Avoiding Them? This week, I spoke with Jessica Gill about this. She's the Chief Content Officer at To Be Magnetic, about creativity, expansion, and what it really means to feel your feelings. We talked about grief, nostalgia, career ruts, rock bottoms, and how to get unstuck by doing the opposite of what you usually do. Jessica shares practical tools for raising self-worth, letting go of the past, and reconnecting to radical authenticity. If you’ve ever felt in limbo or like your old shell doesn’t fit anymore, this one will hit home.

    Lacy Phillips on How To Be Magnetic (RERUN of EP 212)

    *This episode originally aired in 2018, re-airing it today in honor of Lacy's new book. And look out for an updated conversation between us later this week.  In late 2017, a friend mentioned a workshop she’d attended in New York led by Lacy. After hearing about her experience, I was intrigued, yet slightly apprehensive because after years of obsession and addiction to all things personal-growth, I was at a point where I was exhausted by content even in the vicinity of self-help. Despite my trepidation, I checked out Lacy's work. From her style and aesthetic to her framework and perspective, her work was incredibly intriguing. In the weeks leading up to this interview, I was a bit nervous to meet her in person. Fortunately, Lacy was warm, putting me at ease the second I walked into her Brooklyn apartment. We sipped a tea infusion she made us (Lacy’s an herbalist) and chatted for hours about everything from body image and food to design to relationships and boundaries. She was kind, charming, articulate, and I loved recording this episode and listening back to it.

    Reactivity and the Romance Myth with Dean Spade

    This week I spoke with longtime activist and author Dean Spade about the complexities of relationships and the challenges we face in a society shaped by disposability culture. We discussed the fear of being wrong in public and of conflict and feedback. He spoke about why self-help often falls short in addressing systemic issues and shared some insights from his latest book, Love in a F*cked Up World, which offers practical advice on navigating personal growth and connection in a world that often feels isolating and disconnected. I loved both the book and this conversation.

    How to Make a Space Feel Like You - with Cooper Osinski

    This week, I talked to interior designer Cooper Osinski. He shared what makes a space feel personal, how he balances his style with client work, and how he developed his taste and style while navigating trends. We also discussed his intentional approach to growing an online presence on YouTube and how he stays thoughtful and constructive when offering design commentary. Cooper was as warm and inviting as the spaces he creates, and he offered heaps of practical, accessible tips—including small design fixes that make a big impact. Whether you're deep into design or just curious, he makes the world of interiors feel both approachable and fun.

    Ambition Within Cynicism: Organizing Creative Chaos with Abbi Miller

    This week, I talk to business strategist Abbi Miller about navigating pivots in both personal and professional life. Abbi was on the podcast five years ago, and her perspective on time management, which she calls Time Pessimism, is a concept I’ve found helpful ever since. Since then, much has changed for her both personally and collectively (including becoming a mom). In this episode, we catch up on everything she’s learned since then, including how to work with the muse when it strikes and how she sets up systems to support that flow. We also discuss how to deal with cynicism and find ambition again, and her strategies for effective quarterly goal-setting. Plus, Abbi gets me to open up about some of my own career changes and how I’ve been navigating them within my life. And you can hear me talk about it more on her show, where she had me on as a guest too.   Show notes: - Abbi's Workwomb Instagram | Podcast - Free 30-min consult with Abbi to chat about working together - My Substack | IG: @letitouttt + @katiedalebout - Zine shop is here! - My Creative Clinic   If you liked this episode, try out from the archive: In Abbi's previous episode, we covered her pivot from full-time work to freelancing, navigating burnout, and the importance of support in both business and personal life.
