VVV excited for this!!! Be the Substack you want to see in the world (lol, but really).

Side note: I also got the ick from Huberman before the article came out. Three hour podcasts in this (attention) economy? The audacity!

So excited to see all you create, Katie! I always love reading what you have to say, and as a person who has watched my "weird" rituals turn into commodified wellness for the last 15+ years, I resonate with so much of it.

“I know there’s lots of different nuances to you and to me.” I despise the word "niche". I'm tired of hearing it. We are never only one thing. Show me all the things, I'm here to know you.

Appreciate this! It’s hard being a multi-hyphenate (said with sarcasm but also truth lol)

Aw thank you - and you too! I’m always stunned by the emotional weight we force upon ourselves for no reason at all

It can be great to create structure for yourself at first, but as creatives I feel like we're always itching to break out of it at the same time! Definitely can relate with this: "I’m slightly embarrassed to admit I was temporarily blinded by the haze of conformity that I forgot I could exist outside of the paradigms I created."

Exactly! It just proves that creativity is fluid, and no matter how much we crave structure / certainty, it’s never fully possible
