I've been really enjoying feeling my feelings and being less afraid of them.

Let it out.

Hi, welcome back to the podcast. You're listening to Let It Out with me. I'm your host, Katie Dailvout. Most weeks, I talk to creative, fascinating people about their self-care and their routines and how they got to where they are and where they're going.

this episode. We get into friendship, moving, divorce, family, dance, creativity, feeling

your feelings. We talk a lot about boundaries and change, sobriety, art, creativity. We talk about correct versus right or wrong, like something feeling

December while she was passing through New York on her book tour. We recorded this in her friend

Ellen Rutt's apartment and sitting on a bed very cozy. And I think you guys will feel cozy

listening to it. I want to get to it as soon as possible. But thank you to everyone who listened to last week's episode where we talked about the art that's

made us. That's made me, actually. And then it sparked this discussion where everyone was talking

about art that's impacted them throughout their lives and cultural New Year's resolutions like reading more
