Hello my friends,
Thank you for being here. It’s been a long time coming!
I’ve been mulling over ways to share something more personal and longform than what the confines of social media can offer, and after much thought, this podcast-meets-newsletter feels like the perfect way to connect with more humanity and humility. I want to add that even though this is being hosted on Substack, I’m not proclaiming to be a writer just yet (I’m sure your inbox is full of enough newsletters!) This will mostly be a space to share from my preferred medium - the voice, from the heart, in real time, unfiltered and unedited - with the added benefit of space for actionable resources to be attached to each episode when it’s delivered to your inbox.
In this inaugural episode, I’m introducing the intention behind I Can Only Speak for Myself — which is less of a “show” and more of a verbalized journal about my own personal process, discoveries and interests. I talk about my complicated lifelong relationship with perfectionism and people pleasing, how the internet makes me want to evaporate into thin air but I’m choosing to show up because I know it’s my dharma, and the phrase that’s saved my sanity time and time again - “I can only speak for myself.”
I’m going to share the real tea behind my experiences and my approach, without skimping on the details that give you context or the vulnerable, messy processes that go into them. I’ll always make the effort to share nuance and complexity over the quick dopamine hit of oversimplification.
It’s my hope that in sharing my real and honest feelings about some of the things I’ve gone through (and will continue to go through!) in my life, it can help others feel less isolated and alone- that’s what has helped me the most, after all.
Although the podcast will be available on Spotify and Apple Podcasts and I plan to make a majority of my posts in audio form, I do encourage you to subscribe here on Substack, as I plan to use it to share resources, recipes, visuals, and other information that’s best transmitted through writing.
I’m so happy you’re here and I can’t wait to keep exploring with you and sharing as I go. Thanks for listening.
xo,
Kacie
