We all like to think that the butterfly emerges from the cocoon in like one fell swoop.

The process of breaking out of the cocoon, it's not comfortable.

It doesn't feel good.

It's not one beautiful fell swoop, but that's where that evolution and that growth and that change happens. Friends. Let it out.

Hi, welcome back to Let It Out.

This week's episode was recorded when I was still in New York. It's with a photographer and super cool woman, Anastasia Garcia. We met when we were both

speaking on a panel in New York, and we speak about dating, being alone versus being around others,

divorce, body image, inner child work, sexlessness, looking at the big picture, not being in judgment

of your own feelings, how to feel fully. We talk about low self-worth and photography and sex and

reiki and it's just a winding conversation that goes in so many different directions. I really

loved Anastasia and I think you'll love this episode too. I'm coming to

you from Australia, staying with my friend Aaron. It's been a really cool week. I've been off

of social media and loving that. I hope you guys had a great Valentine's Day. I know I mentioned

last week on the podcast, but if you

listen to my urine review episode from last year, you know, we talked a lot about breakups and

tenderheartedness in that episode. And if you or someone you know wants to check out our

Sooth Kit zine, it's available for you. That link is in the show notes and more on that

there. I love you. Thank you so much for listening. Enjoy this episode and I'll talk to you at the end.

I get to tell you guys about a new sponsor of today's episode. It's a meal kit company called EveryPlate. Stay with me.

I know there are a plethora of mail kits out there, but this one is the most economical of all of them.

And what I really love about them, which is very important to me, is that all of their boxes and

separators are all 100% recyclable.
