We're wise enough to know it's about time to revisit this wisdom episode from the vault. We share our feelings about feeling our age and some excellent advice we caught about living with a little longing—and we very much would like to hear if this one hits differently the second time around. Some readings that impacted how we've been navigating aging include Being Mortal by Atul Gawande, Casey Johnston's Swole Woman program, Cheryl Wischover's “What Changed When I Started Lifting Weights” in the Gloria newsletter, and Kayleen Schaefer's “How 50 Pushups A Day Helped Me Cope In An Uncertain World” for Elle.

Coming through with some thoughts on the intersection of friendship and ambition, covered wagon core (not to be confused with cottagecore!), and ~summer movies~.Following up on our Wilder conversation, we'd like to discuss covered wagon core. See Kim K.'s CR Fashion Book spread “The Pioneer Woman,” Rudy Jude, Salter House, and making jam. Re: actual covered wagons, Conestoga does a luxe wagon and a bar wagon, both, and Pioneer Woman has a roundup of campgrounds with covered wagons.Rainesford Stauffer's “We Should Be Ambitious About Our Friendships” for Elle sparked our convo about friendship ambition—she's also the author of An Ordinary Age: Finding Your Way in a World That Expects Exceptional and the new All the Gold Stars: Reimagining Ambition and the Ways We Strive. We love this tweet about friendship discussion agendas. As for books, this topic calls to mind Courtney Martin's The New Better Off, Kayleen Schaefer's Text Me When You Get Home, Aminatou Sow and Ann Friedman's Big Friendship, and Hua Hsu's Stay True. On our TBR list: Sheila Liming's Hanging Out: The Radical Power of Killing Time. (In the meantime: “The Case for Hanging Out” by Dan Kois for Slate and The Ezra Klein Show episode "The ‘Quiet Catastrophe' Brewing in Our Social Lives.") Bring on the summer movies! Obsessed with Past Lives, itching to see Theater Camp, Joy Ride, Problemista (see also: I Want to Be a Vase by Julio Torres), Red, White, & Royal Blue, Challengers, and, of course, Barbie (all the prophecies, including Margot Robbie in Vogue and Greta Gerwig in Gentlewoman, whet the appetite).Do you have easy, low-pressure ways to keep up with friends?

We are rejuvenated-ish from our holiday breaks and are ready to fill you in on winter-wedding dress codes, the pegboard discourse, sexy high school, and, ope!, more Midwest updates.   Our discussion about wedding dress codes brings us back to Kayleen Schaefer's story for The Cut “The Bride and Groom Formally Request That You Dress Up.” And for actual winter beach dressing, see this 2017 Vogue cover and Harrison Ford's shorts with sweaters.    We loved this 2019 NYT story about how brand names become generic.      Re: pegboards, Julia Child's is obv the ultimate, but for mini ones, look to Quark and Little Anana.    If you're also disillusioned by movie trailers, read this Vox story by Alissa Wilkinson. (Also, we endorse She Said the movie…but She Said the book more.)   Next time you're in the Midwest, get kringle from O&H Danish Bakery or a *kringle single* from Racine Danish Kringles.   What foods are you sneaking into the movies?

This week, I had a conversation with Jocelyn Kelly Reid. With 15 years of sales and marketing experience, she now helps women around money and finance in a unique way. She's personally lost everything and built it back up and now she has the ability to help others do the same. She's sensitive, sweet, and honest, as you'll hear in this conversation. We talked about trauma, burnout, needing open space, working through financial blocks, her embodiment practice, the importance of directly communicating needs, how you can be addicted to a person, and much more. Jocelyn talks in depth about her background and upbringing where she felt different from those around her, recovering from an eating disorder, and feeling “too much”. This episode also features my lovely conversation with midwestern mattress maker and father of five Tim Masters, founder of My Green Mattress. I genuinely loved speaking with Tim as much as he loves making mattresses for people. He talks about taking over a mattress business when he was young, living in the apartment above it, and how one day a woman came into the shop who read his palm and told him he was meant to heal people. That helped him realize he does just that through his ability to find the correct-fitting, non-toxic mattress for every body that walks into his shop regardless of size or shape. Show Notes:- Follow Jocelyn on the Web- Take the friendship breakup survey from me and Kayleen Schaefer here- The Podcast Kit is 50% off through the end of July with code summer- Sign up for the waitlist for the re-imagined Creative Underdogs/In Process (coming soon)!- Subscribe to our newsletter to get show notes + essays, etc. sent to your inbox- Follow @letitouttt on Instagram. I'm @katiedalebout- Let It Out is looking for a paid editing intern!

This week I spoke to Brendan Francis Newnam, the former longtime host of The Dinner Party Download, who went on to create and executive produce The Paris Review Podcast. He is the author of the book Brunch Is Hell and (most relevant to this conversation) he's the host of the podcast Not Lost. It's a travel show Brendan started after the end of both his long-term relationship and his decade-long radio show, The Dinner Party Download.Brendan "found himself on the wrong side of 35, unemployed, single, and with most of his friends ensconced in relationships and parenthood or both." So he took a microphone, hit the road with friends, and his adventure became Not Lost. The premise of the show is Brendan and his friends trying to get invited to a dinner party with locals in each city they visit.We talk about how he made the show and I picked out a few clips that particularly landed with me, including the balance between sharing vulnerably and holding back, how our trauma impacts our openness to relationships, and thoughts on loneliness, rejection, and connection. And what doing the show taught him about, intimacy, friendship, choosing a city to live in, nature and more. We also talked about interviewing and podcasting at the end, which raised some interesting questions for me. Show Notes:- Listen to Not Lost on Pushkin | Apple Podcasts | Spotify | Youtube- My favorite episodes: Montreal | Portland- Follow Brendan on Instagram- Take the friendship breakup survey from me and Kayleen Schaefer here- The Let It Out Kits are 32% off with the code 32- Sign up for the waitlist for the re-imagined Creative Underdogs/In Process (coming soon)!- Subscribe to our newsletter to get show notes + essays, etc. sent to your inbox- Follow @letitouttt on Instagram. I'm @katiedalebout Sponsors:I started drinking these little green productivity shots and I love them so much.

It's our 100th episode! Let's celebrate, but in the middle of the celebration, let's have an existential crisis!  It was tough to be happy this week, but I was able to do it because I had something special in my back pocket: an interview with Charnaie Gordon.  Charnaie is a wife, mom, and former Computer Programmer turned full-time Content Creator and Author with both a Bachelor's and Master's degree in Computer Science/Information Technology. She's also a Distinguished Toastmaster and huge literacy advocate/champion. Her blog, Here Wee Read, is where she expresses her creativity and passion for reading, diverse literature, and literacy. She's also the founder of a children's literacy organization, 50 States 50 Books, where her family collects and donates diverse children's books to deserving kids in each of the 50 U.S. states. We also talked about the changes we've made in our life because of the book "Atomic Habits" by James Clear. Bookworms, there was simply no better way to celebrate 100 episodes than to hang out with Charnaie. Make sure you listen to the end of the episode to learn how you can help me celebrate 100 episodes by helping Charnaie out.

I know it can sound intimidating to call a lawmaker. But your calls MATTER. Call the Capitol switchboard at 202-224-3121 and ask for the office of your elected official.

Listen and learn how when you visit themarcusgarrett.com/investwith/personalfinanceclub  Kayleen Schaefer (@kayleener) is a journalist and author based in New York City. Her latest book, But You're Still So Young: How Thirtysomethings Are Redefining Adulthood features the stories of eight 30-somethings (including Marcus Garrett) figuring out adulting. The book explores what it means to be in your 30s, and to navigate some of the biggest milestones of adult life…and how it is more okay than ever to not have every box checked off.

(Note: This interview first aired back in February.) Our guest is Kayleen Schaefer, a journalist and author who's written for The New York Times, Vanity Fair, The New Yorker, and other publications. Her latest book, which she tells us about, is "But You're Still So Young: How Thirtysomethings Are Redefining Adulthood." The book looks carefully at how thirtysomethings in America today are -- and aren't -- meeting the milestones which sociologists commonly cite as the five markers of adulthood: finishing school, leaving home, marriage, gaining financial independence, and having kids. As a critic writing for Vogue noted of this book: "Schaefer mixes social science, psychology, original reporting, and personal anecdotes into a work of nonfiction that is as compact and refreshing as a soft-serve ice cream cone.... Clearheaded and full of heart, 'But You're Still So Young' offers a gentle indictment of a broken system and also a soothing message: Nobody's got it all figured out."

Can women really be friends? If so, what makes these bonds different than other relationships? In this podcast we discuss Kayleen Schaefer's book, Text Me When You Get Home, and how it made us reflect on our own female friendships. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app

We’re over a year into the COVID-19 pandemic, and we’re all missing our friends. Journalist and author Kayleen Schaefer has written two books about the power of female friendship, and she joins Tamara to talk about how women can support each other at home and in the workplace, the role sexism plays in keeping women apart, and how we can all nurture profound (but not perfect) relationships with the people who matter most.

Author and journalist Kayleen Schaefer has a fascinating look at how people in their thirties are changing the way we view adult life. Turning 30 no longer holds the same power and panic that it used to. I catch up with Kayleen to talk about her research and findings that she put in her new book 'But You're Still So Young: How Thirtysomethings Are Redefining Adulthood.'

On this edition of The Arts Section, host Gary Zidek catches up with author Kayleen Schaefer to talk about her new book, BUT YOU'RE STILL SO YOUNG: How Thirtysomethings Are Redefining Adulthood. The Dueling Critics, Kerry Reid and Jonathan Abarbanel, join Gary to discuss a play that originally premiered in 2013 and is now available to watch online for free as part of Goodman Theare's new encore series. Later in the program, Gary revisits a feature on the Art Institute's much anticipated Monet exhibit, which was extended after being forced to shut down late last year. Plus, a segment on a unique collaboration designed to create trauma-informed arts education.

This week one of my favorite authors returns. Kayleen Schaefer is a journalist and author of Text Me When You Get Home, she also wrote the bestselling Kindle Single memoir Fade Out. Her work has appeared in The New York Times, Vanity Fair, The New Yorker, Vogue, and many other publications. Her new book, But You’re Still So Young, is out now. It follows eight people struggling to make the leap to adulthood. It includes sociological research and weaves in her own story. In this episode we talk about how this generation is redefining what it's like to be in our 30s. And how a checklist that sociologists created in the 1950s is no longer relevant, or even possible for many. The checklist was: "finish school, leave home, make your own money, marry and become a parent." We talk about how race, class, and privilege play into the ability and desire to meet these old benchmarks. Plus, we cover Kayleen's writing rituals, how they've changed, her advice to writers, and more. Show notes:- Kayleen's new book, But You're Still So Young- Connect with Kayleen on the web | Instagram- Sign up for our LET IT OUT letter to get show notes sent straight to your inbox - LET IT OUT kits- Please join me in supporting the Fair Fight Initiative.

Once upon a time, you turned 30 and you already had it all: a spouse, a house, a job, and a passel of kids. But even before the Covid-19 pandemic wreaked havoc on our lives, thirtysomethings’ expectations for their own lives were changing, both by choice and by necessity. Today, they’re getting married later if at all, having fewer kids, taking on more debt, and moving back in with their parents. Is economic upheaval and inequality the primary force behind these shifts? And why do traditional landmarks like getting married still exert such a pull on our psyches? Journalist Kayleen Schaefer conducted hundreds of interviews with researchers and millennials across the country to understand how this generation is redefining adulthood.Go beyond the episode:Kayleen Schaefer’s But You're Still So Young: How Thirtysomethings Are Redefining AdulthoodOne landmark millennials do seem to be hitting?

"You thought that when you arrived at X age you would be finished, but we're not ever finished.” Kayleen Schaefer talks with Zibby about her experience interviewing eight people in their thirties over the course of a year-plus. She redefines what it means to be an adult, and refutes the notion that everyone else has it figured out.

Our guest is Kayleen Schaefer, a journalist and author who has written for The New York Times, Vanity Fair, The New Yorker, and other publications. Her new book, which she tells us about, is "But You're Still So Young: How Thirtysomethings Are Redefining Adulthood." The book looks carefully at how thirtysomethings in America today are -- and aren't -- meeting the milestones which sociologists commonly cite as the five markers of adulthood: finishing school, leaving home, marriage, gaining financial independence, and having kids. As a critic writing for Vogue has noted of this book: "Schaefer mixes social science, psychology, original reporting, and personal anecdotes into a work of nonfiction that is as compact and refreshing as a soft-serve ice cream cone.... Clearheaded and full of heart, 'But You're Still So Young' offers a gentle indictment of a broken system and also a soothing message: Nobody's got it all figured out."

Ilia Danner Grubbs, Christina Bieber Lake, and Sara Klooster discuss Kayleen Schaefer's book Text Me When You Get Home

This summer we decided to do our first let it out book club, and my friend Karolina told me she had the perfect book for us. We chose the new novel The House of Deep Water by today's guest Jeni McFarland. It's a unique story with deeply developed characters about family, trauma, and change, and it takes place in my home state of Michigan. This conversation covers trauma, therapy, mental health, Jeni's writing rituals, and how’s she taking care of herself in the pandemic. I loved speaking with Jeni. It’s a shorter conversation so I’m going to get back into the habit of something I used to do years ago which is sharing some of my "favorites."Show notes:- The House of Deep Water (Book)- Connect with Jeni on Instagram | The Web- Share your suggestions for our next book on the @letitouttt Instagram!- Christine's YouTube channel, Let It Out episode, & Instagram- Christine's ceramics shop- Plants for the People: A Modern Guide to Plant Medicine by Erin Lovell Verinder (Book)- Nettle & alfalfa infusions- Let It Out Episode with Erin Lovell Verinder- Let It Out Episode with Leah Clancy- Crushing by Julia Jacklin (Album) and the song "Good Guy"- Fetch the Bolt Cutters by Fiona Apple (Album)- Saint Cloud by Waxahatchee (Album) and the song "Lilacs"- Laura Marling (Musician)- Big Thief (Band)- Katie's Spotify- Four Sigmatic Beauty Shot- Goli apple cider vinegar gummies- Lakewood by Megan Giddings (Book)- Postmodern Jukebox (Band)- Podcast Kit (also check out Marketing & Monetizing and Art of the Interview)- Soothe & Solve Kits- Write Kit- Use the code "podcastlistener" for 20% off all Let it Out Kits If you liked this episode try out:Episode 224 with Kayleen Schaefer on Female Friendship, A Career as a Writer, Creativity and More  Sponsors:This episode was supported by Four Sigmatic, a wellness company that is well known for its delicious mushroom coffee.

While most of us wouldn't admit it, we have adopted stereotypes about other women that directly impact our friendships. So today, I'm outlining the 5 most common stereotypes about female friendship and explaining where they come from so we can begin to enjoy our relationships with other women without the hang-ups and misconceptions.  After I outline these stereotypes, you'll hear my interview with Kayleen Schaefer, author of the book "Text Me When You Get Home" which is about modern female friendships. Kayleen has interviewed more than 100 women about their friendships and has a lot to say about the stereotypes that keep us apart. After listening to the episode, be sure to read a few of our research-based articles on www.giveitarestmovement.com or follow us on IG @giveitarestmovement. You can also buy Kayleen's book here and my book, Give it a Rest: The Case for Tough-Love Friendships" here.

We’re back! To kick off Season 2, Ingrid talks to Kayleen Schaefer, author of Text Me When You Get Home, about the magic of female friendship in our couple-centric culture. Get ready for: the myth of the “mean girls,” who should really be your emergency contact, friend breakups, a tangent on rats, and the simple secret to making friends as an adult.

Hi QTs! Welcome to Episode 35! We read Text Me When You Get Home by Kayleen Schaefer. We discuss: how women are, indeed, capable of having friendships; tears, blood, cervical mucus, uterine linings; the word moist; Skype's banning of Ashley; the slightly repetitiveness of including so much Parks and Rec info in the book; the fact that it's slightly less thrilling than Helter Skelter; Olivias hatred of Girls; the myth of the "cool girl;" how we know noooothing about sororities; reflections on our own friendships; and sooo much more. We read: Text Me When You Get Home by Kayleen Schaefer Up next: All the Single Ladies by Rebecca Traister Olivia drinks: a Red Blend from the Corner Market (don't ask questions) Ashley drinks: an Ultimate Margarita (thanks Peppers!) Music by our pal Matt Costa!

In this episode, Sarika and Anne complete "The Current Conversation Podcast Episode" assignment using two texts: Kayleen Schaefer's article, "Female Friendships Are more Crucial than Ever- So Why Do We Still Love a Catfight?" (2018) and Sadie Graham's essay, "How Our Cultural Obsession with Platonic 'Girlfriends' Sidelines Queer Women" (2018). Anne and Sarika tackle the following research question: "To what extent has the 'feminist' celebration of female friendship disrupted and challenged oppressive structural systems, such as patriarchy, colonialism, and capitalism, in an effort to activate social change and justice?" Listen to Sarika and Anne reflect on the value of female friendship, celebrate "shine theory," and negotiate why the term "girlfriend" is problematic. Click here for the transcript.

Unless you can get yourself a time machine, there are few better ways to go back to childhood than to read a middle grade book — and Lois Lowry's Anastasia Krupnik is written from such an amazing kid perspective that you'll feel like an elementary schooler all over again when you pick it up. The first in a series of nine books, Anastasia Krupnik isn't a fantastical journey or magical quest. It's the story of a relatable (and cheeky and funny and dramatic) kid dealing with relatable — maybe even boring — things (baby brothers, crushes, ailing grandparents, and more). Writer and editor Kayleen Schaefer joins Alli on Episode 46 to discuss Anastasia's misadventures, along with “cool parents,” misguided hairstyles, and the things that can easily go over a kid reader's head.

"TV and media can be a big expander or role model that helps you see to believe. Coming from a small town in Michigan I didn’t know it was possible to move to New York but I did have the show Friends and watching really informed my decision to move here." "It’s so amazing that you can put on a song and it takes you back to a moment in time. And then that moment can become a different moment. Now I think about being in high school when I listen to certain 90s songs, but you can change the meaning of how a song makes you feel. And I find myself not wanting to play certain songs too much so I don’t change the meaning of them for myself."

Alysa welcomes author, Kayleen Schaefer, of the book Text Me When You Get Home: The Evolution and Triumph of Modern Female Friendship to discuss the expectations, stereotypes, and reality of female friendships. These friendships have been viewed as catty, mean, and, essentially, disposable after marriage, but, if we’re delaying marriage and friends are at the forefront, why would women give up their friends? Why would women give up their friends at all? Come join two friendship-focused ladies as we explore the shift in female friendships as eloquently and innovatively described by Kayleen in her highly recommended book.
