LET IT OUT Katie Dalebout

This week I talk with Liz Tran, author and founder of Reset NYC. We delve into the distinction between self-esteem and self-worth, and how developing self-worth fuels productivity, assertiveness, and resilience. How to be assertive without being rude, how family constellations helped her make some pivotal changes, how she works with her founders as an executive coach and how she comes up with the diagrams, figures, and visuals she uses to break down concepts.

Writer and podcast producer Amelia Hruby is back for part 2. This time we focused on communication, deep listening, and podcasting, including how we both have used it to build connections and where she sees the future of the industry, how we've both seen it evolve, and much more. We cover live dynamic conversations vs. monologues, the strengths and limitations of podcasting as a medium, and more. Whether you're an aspiring podcaster, avid listener, or an occasional listener this episode explores the medium's potential and its ongoing evolution.

This week I had a conversation with Athena Monet, a former architect--she left both her job and the city to move near the ocean. It’s there where she became an author of the book Leave With Love and started her practice as a shaman helping people through life transitions. She’s also a mother of five, so in this conversation we covered her perspective around productivity which includes both permission and integration. As well as how she got into the work she does now after the death of her mother, why transitions like divorces, breakups, and moves are so fertile for personal growth, beauty and body image, and much more. Let us know if you listen.

YEAH, I F*CKED THAT UP is a weekly interview podcast hosted by Billy Mann. Billy holds many titles - songwriter, entrepreneur, father, philanthropist, and now podcast host. Throughout his career, Billy has worked alongside many marquee names in entertainment. Their biggest achievements are what they are known for, but it’s their biggest failures that made them who they are. In each episode, Billy will discuss those failures with his guests - actors, novelists, musicians, CEOs - and draw from it a potent combination of laughter and inspiration from the stories they share. Key show guests include L.A. Reid, Kelly Rowland, Liz Gillies, Aly & AJ, and more. Listen wherever you get your podcasts!

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.

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.
