Welcome to Ditch the Ick, the podcast for anyone who’s over settling for less.
Hosted by Katie Carson (your new favorite hype girl), this show dives deep into what it means to be a whole-a$$ person, worthy of love and success—partner or no partner required. Relationships? Sure, they come up—whether they’re romantic, platonic, or the one you have with yourself (because, let’s be honest, the ick never truly dies). But we’re also here to talk about leveling up your life, chasing your dreams, and living boldly on your own terms.
So if you’re tired of waiting for someone else to make your life exciting, stick around. Every week, we’ll talk through what it means to design a life that feels like yours. No fluff, no clichés, no nonsense—just real conversations and a lot of laughs.

76: What If It Does Work Out? Why Chasing Your Dreams Is a Revolutionary Act (with Sue Almonte)
Okay y’all, this one is a wild ride — because we’re getting real about chasing dreams that terrify us (hi, moving to Italy, starting businesses, and figuring out WTF is happening in the world).
In this episode, I’m joined by my girl, Sue Almonte, and we’re talking about why going after what you want — especially when the world is on fire — is a revolutionary act. Like seriously, if you’re out here trying to survive, thrive, and maybe pack a suitcase and run away to Europe (same), this is for you.
Sue and I go deep into what’s motivating us to plan our moves abroad (with all the messy parts — dogs, visas, leases, anxiety spirals), how entrepreneurship saved us when the job market crumbled, and why so many women (maybe you, too?) are secretly afraid of what happens if it actually works out.
In this episode, we chat about:
Why chasing your dreams is literally a radical act (especially for women)
How I’m planning my move to Florence and Sue is planning her move to Rome (yes, it's happening!)
All the behind-the-scenes chaos of moving abroad — like how the hell do you even get a visa?
Starting a business (or side hustle) when jobs are disappearing and things feel heavy AF
What to do when the world feels overwhelming (small steps, I promise)
The fear of success and why “what if it DOES work out?” is scarier than failure sometimes
Why you don’t need to apologize for wanting a good life, even when the world’s a mess

What’s the big scary dream you’ve been putting off? Have you ever thought about moving abroad, starting over, or finally doing the thing that’s been on your heart for way too long?
I wanna hear from you — How are you ditching the ick and choosing to chase your dreams (even if it feels terrifying)?
