When we surrender, what we are given is more beautiful than we could ever imagine.

But we fight hard to have things go our way. Hi, let it out. You're listening to Let It Out. You're listening to Let It Out, a podcast that I host. My name is Katie Delvout. Maybe you've been here before. If you're new, welcome. I'm doing a new thing here in quarantine where I'm having, this is not that new. I often have had many of my friends on

this podcast people I know well, people I've recently met, people who become friends after we record

our first conversation. That has happened often, which I'm very grateful about. And now here in quarantine, I want nothing but to talk to

cozy people that I love so much. And today is one of those conversations. But if I didn't know

Brooke or guest at all, I would still want to have her on the podcast because she is a therapist and a smart writer and person who is just really cool and really talented at the work that she does and just who she is in her life.

So if I never met her before, I'm confident that this would have been a great conversation.

However, I'm so happy that I do have the relationship that I do with Brooke, selfishly for myself,

because it's one of the most nurturing, cozy, useful, interesting relationships that I have in my

life that I'm incredibly grateful for. And I think it really made this conversation what it is.

We kind of go inside baseball on our own human condition and friendship

and the things that we're constantly voice noting back and forth about

and talking about when we're in person together.

And I'm just grateful that she exists as a person and that she would do this podcast. We talk about body image, we talk

about relationships, we talk about therapy, she gives great advice. She's one of the most

spiritual and enlightened people that I know and she's just

really great and has a lovely laugh and I hope that how

wonderful she is as a friend and person can be felt through this podcast and I just listened back and I loved it. So I think you'll

really love it too. No sponsor this week, but I just want to tell you that I am hosting my

Let a Podcast Out workshop one last time. So if you've ever considered starting a podcast, now might be actually kind of a great time.

And because of the current situation, I am discounting it massively. And I'm giving you guys

listening right now an added discount with the code on top of that already with the code, let it out.
