LET IT OUT is space for sharing [Soft Stories]–the stories that reveal our most tender selves. Our mission is connection.
This takes the form of a newsletter, recorded conversations, an online creative community, and journaling workshops, printed zines, and in-person gatheringscentered around sharing so we can connect with ourselves and each other.
In 2013, we launched our first podcast, a long-form interview show. And in 2019, we started producing, Spiraling, a co-hosted around mental health podcast. After over 450 total episodes with over 4.5 million downloads, we made The Podcast Kit, an online course that helps others new to the medium with lessons from my experiences, expert advice, and community support.
Our (mostly) weekly newsletter, is the best way to stay up to date with all with all we do. It features essays, show notes, and discoveries from our community.
