After a short micro-break, Katie returns with author, lawyer, leadership coach, and all-around light-maker Karen Walrond to celebrate the joy of being an INTENTIONAL AMATEUR. Instead of hustling every interest into a side-gig, Karen invites us to dabble for the love of it — no end game required. They unpack why hobbies matter, how to find ones that actually feel like relief, and the seven attributes that make play a true self-care practice.  IN THIS EPISODE WE DISCUSS: <ul> <li>Why Karen resists the “be better” subtext of self-help when it comes to hobbies</li> <li>Reclaiming the word “amateur”</li> <li>The 7 attributes of intentional amateurism </li> <li>Why it’s okay (and healthy) to stay mediocre and never become an "expert"</li> <li>Dabbling vs. committing, and how to notice when something is life-giving hard (stretch) vs. depleting hard (pressure/perfectionism).</li> <li>and more!</li> </ul> ~ SHOW NOTES: Get the book: <a href= "https://www.chookooloonks.com/in-defense-of-dabbling">https://www.chookooloonks.com/in-defense-of-dabbling</a> Karen's website: <a href= "https://www.chookooloonks.com/">https://www.chookooloonks.com/</a>  THE MAKE LIGHT JOURNAL on Substack: <a href= "https://chookooloonks.substack.com/">https://chookooloonks.substack.com/</a>  <a href= "https://www.wordupbooks.com/event/karen-walrond%E2%80%99s-defense-dabbling-katie-horwitch"> Join us in NYC on 10/14! </a> ~ <a href= "https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/167-how-to-radiantly-rebel-against-ageism-with-karen/id1031793292?i=1000633199568"> Karen on the WANTcast talking RADIANT REBELLION</a> <a href= "https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/103-the-power-of-not-knowing-with-karen-walrond/id1031793292?i=1000475427023"> Karen on the WANTcast talking about THE POWER OF NOT KNOWING</a> <a href= "https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/059-on-being-fully-yourself-no-matter-what-with-author/id1031793292?i=1000422187778"> Karen on the WANTcast talking about BEING YOURSELF NO MATTER WHAT</a> ~ Subscribe to SELF-TALK SUNDAYS on Substack: <a href= "http://womenagainstnegativetalk.substack.com/">http://womenagainstnegativetalk.substack.com</a> Follow Katie on Instagram: <a href= "http://instagram.com/katiehorwitch">http://instagram.com/katiehorwitch</a> Get WANT YOUR SELF! <a href= "http://wantyourself.com/">http://wantyourself.com</a> Learn more about Katie: <a href= "http://katiehorwitch.com/">http://katiehorwitch.com</a> Learn more about WANT at: <a href= "http://womenagainstnegativetalk.com/">http://womenagainstnegativetalk.com</a> ~ IF YOU LOVED THIS EPISODE, DON'T FORGET TO:  Subscribe, rate, and review on <a href= "https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/wantcast-the-women-against-negative-talk-podcast/id1031793292"> Apple Podcasts</a> and your favorite podcast platform.
