Ditch the Ick with Katie Carson: Rede...

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.

05: If they want to, they will
One of the toughest things to navigate when meeting new people with the intention of dating and building a relationship is getting let down when someone is unreliable. But one of the biggest lessons I've learned is that if they want to, they will. If they want to show up for you, they will find a way. And if they don't? Then they've made their desires clear.
