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.
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."
“what wellness looks like around the world” is such a good idea! i find that women’s wellness in brazil is so different from the us! women are veryyyy into weightlifting here
I had the same existential substack crisis a few weeks ago .. this post was liberating and i can sense my own creative juices flowing. TY for keeping it real
I need to hear your “commentary on my sober-curious lifestyle as a single woman” please and thank you
On it 🫡
Excited especially for wellness around the world! Can we get a deep dive on hammams and K-spas?!
LOVE — going to you for expert opinions?
I went to a hammam in Istanbul and it was a religious experience
Literally or figuratively?
Hahahah fair point - figuratively
I’m no expert but can prob help find some! ☺️
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!
For real!! I'm over here fast-forwarding through Tik Toks... (that's an issue I know)
LOLOL omg same. S/o to the girlies who enable the 2x option.
<3 <3

Thank you Kayli, this means so much to me. <3 We were here first!!

Appreciate this! It’s hard being a multi-hyphenate (said with sarcasm but also truth lol)
as someone who boxes myself in my own prison often, i feel this so deeply in my bones and really needed to read it! how liberating! excited for you
Aw thank you - and you too! I’m always stunned by the emotional weight we force upon ourselves for no reason at all

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