In this episode of Thick & Thin I do a little heart spill as I talk about my recent decision to pack up my life and move back home across the country. I get candid about my recent struggle with anxiety and explain the reason behind my big move, while I discuss an article excerpt from James Baldwin for the New York Times called “As Much Truth As One Can Bear”. I also read a book excerpt from “Nobody Knows What They’re Doing” by Lee Crutchley. Two great pieces that gave me comfort during difficult times, and the peace of mind to make a big change. // Follow me on IG: instagram.com/katybellotte // Get your SoulCycle at-home bike today by visiting MySoulCycleBike.com/KATY, and use promo code KATY to get a free pair of at-home Select cycling shoes with your purchase.
