Hey guys, welcome back to Let It Out with me, your host, Katie Delbout.

This is basically live. I'm recording this at the very last moment to release it on the day it's

released, so it's more live than most of the podcasts. Usually I'm recording them like a week

or so, at least a few days before they air.

So this is me almost in real time.

And there actually wasn't going to be an episode this week at all.

I didn't have time to record one with the holiday.

And I thought it would just be a week off.

But then had an idea.

I thought that I would give you

16 things I tried in 2016 that I thought might be helpful, interesting. I don't know. I just

wanted to share. So anyway, here's my kind of year in review before we get into 2017.

Thank you guys so much for listening to the podcast this year.

If you're new and this is your first time listening, thank you for listening right now.

And I just thought I would kind of reflect on the year that just is now almost behind us before we get into 2017 coming up. It was a really big year for me.

And for everyone, I guess, I think 2016 had zero chill, basically, between launching my book

and I interviewed my dream podcast guest number one and a bunch of other people

who I was really excited to interview. I made a lot of new friends. I went to a lot of places I've

never been before. Not to mention, you know, those are just the personal things that happen like

just to me as like one tiny human on this planet.

But not to mention all of the cultural and political extremes that we've had in this year.

It's just been a year of extremes and kind of craziness.
