Hey, you guys

Let it out

Let it out Hey, you guys, welcome back to the podcast. You're listening to Let It Out with me. I'm your host, Katie Dale bout. We're supposed to be on a break, but I have a couple things I wanted to tell you about and I thought I would do a solo episode,

us just hanging out. The meat of this episode will be me reading one of my personal essays that I

wrote for the fullest, a magazine I write for and love. And this article was published in their addiction edition,

which is their volume that came out this summer of 2018. But I wrote this essay about exactly

a year ago about an experience I had about a year and a half ago, which was my first hangover. The article was

entitled when I wrote it, let's see here. It was called How My First Hangover taught me

presents, got me out of my head, and made me a better person. But then my wonderful editor renamed it as,

is your hangover self, your best self?

How Katie Dalebout's first hangover taught her presence,

got her out of her head, and made her a better person.

As you know, if you listen every week,

usually there's a long form interview.

That's the bulk of this podcast, the meat, if you will, of the

sandwich that is this podcast. But today I don't have one of those. And the reason I'm reading

this article is because in another solo episode I did, sometimes I do do these solo episodes.

Usually I call them my favorite slash gratitudes where I tell you things I'm

grateful about and things I'm loving and things I'm learning. And in that, I mentioned something I'd

written for the fullest and I asked you guys there if you wanted me to read this article out loud

if you hadn't gotten a copy of this volume of their print magazine, which I

highly suggest you do. You can get it on their website and I'll make sure the link to that's in the show
