Ditch the Ick with Katie Carson: Redefining Relationships, Self-Worth, and Building Your Dream Life as Millennial and Gen X Women

79: Romanticize the Hell Out of Your Life: The Radical Self-Care We Actually Need with Angela Armstrong


Listen Later

When the world feels heavy, loud, and chaotic, sometimes the most powerful thing you can do is light a candle, put on a song that makes you feel alive, and pour a little more love into your everyday routines.


In this episode of Ditch the Ick, Katie is joined by Angela Armstrong — intuitive life strategist, spiritual realist, and hype woman for high-achieving women who are ready to press pause and trust themselves again. They’re talking real-deal self-care, what to do when everything feels like a lot, and how to stop isolating yourself when connection is what your nervous system actually needs.


We talk about grief, community, and the reminder that fun is not frivolous — it’s fuel. Whether you’re navigating burnout, big decisions, or just trying to stay grounded in a world that seems off its axis, this conversation is a permission slip to soften, feel, and start romanticizing the hell out of your life.


In this episode:

  • Why isolation feels like self-protection but actually keeps you stuck
  • The difference between “resting” and “numbing” (and how to tell which you’re doing)
  • Tools like human design, astrology, and numerology for understanding how you process stress
  • The importance of fun as a form of self-care
  • Why intuition isn’t “woo” — it’s wisdom
  • How to make decisions without burning out from decision fatigue
