Hi, I’m Kacie Carter.
For the past decade, you’ve probably known me as a holistic nutritionist, chef and co-founder of Honey Hi in Los Angeles (and as of last year, I’ve added “new mom” to that list!) I’m also an eternal student and devoted gatherer of tools, resources, and insight. After 15 years immersed in the world of health, I’ve learned a lot — and I’m so looking forward to sharing what’s been most meaningful with you.
I care deeply about the body — how it works, what it’s trying to say, and how we can soften enough to tend to it in the ways it truly needs. I care about living in a way that brings our human bodies into deeper harmony with the earth we live on. I care about telling the truth, whether it shows up as hilarious or heartbreaking. And most of all, I care about witnessing the impulse to live in the extremes, choosing instead to stay in the process and find a more sustainable middle ground — especially when it’s messy or nonlinear.
This project is one way I’m practicing showing up without needing to be finished first. It’s part of my own integration, and I’m glad you’re here.
About I Can Only Speak for Myself
This isn’t a polished podcast on a content schedule. It’s not a brand. I Can Only Speak for Myself is a space for me to share my experience and explore being in the middle of things — of creating, healing, mothering, metabolizing, lessons I’ve learned and what I would have done differently — without taking myself too seriously.
No guests (yet!), no editing… Just me, recording whenever I can find a quiet pocket of time in the midst of a very full life.
I created this as an act of anti-perfectionism and self-honesty. A place to speak from my experience as it’s unfolding — not just sharing the polished “after” version, which is what I’ve personally grown accustomed to and exhausted by in our current online world. I’m going to be very candid in telling you the places where I’ve made mistakes, or my hubris got the best of me.
I’ve lived through enough extreme experiences at this point to know that life rarely gets wrapped into a nice little bow— and even when it does, those aren’t the stories I’m most drawn to. For me, the wisdom is built while you’re in the mess, not after you’ve cleaned it all up.
Here, you’ll hear me share around:
Health, healing, and connecting with the body’s deep intelligence
Staying grounded and real in an increasingly noisy, curated online world
Finding the middle ground amidst polarization that pulls us into black and white thinking
Postpartum, motherhood, and raising children according to your own values instead of trends or peer pressure
My favorite recipes, practices, and resources for nourishing myself and others
My tried and true recommendations
Lessons I’ve learned and what I would do differently now
Spiritual integration, self-responsibility, and releasing perfectionism
Some episodes will be super technical deep dives into different topics surrounding health and nutrition, where we’ll really get to nerd out together and learn. Others will be more personal — storytelling, my inner process, quiet inquiries I’ve been mulling over. I hope they feel like walking into the middle of a conversation with a friend.
This space isn’t about being right or wrong. It’s about choosing integration over optimization, nuance over noise, and trusting there’s value in sharing from the middle, knowing that the way we help each other is through honest connection.
This is just my experience. Take what you like and leave the rest.
Thanks so much for being here.
xo,
Kacie
