    how to ACTUALLY lock in for fall and become your best self

    It's time for the fall lock-in 🍂As summer comes to an end, I'm doing a full reassessment of my life and thinking about what I actually want the rest of this year to look like. In this episode, we're talking about how to get out of your comfort zone, build confidence, create better habits, set goals, stay consistent, and actually go after the life you want.I'm also sharing some of my current fitness goals, including building muscle and strength, improving my running and core strength, and why tracking your progress can make such a difference. I also get into why I think being “nonchalant” is overrated, why you sometimes have to be willing to look cringe or stupid, and how to know the difference between being uncomfortable and knowing something genuinely isn't right for you.Then we get into the fun stuff 😂 I tell you guys about going to salsa in NYC, getting more comfortable meeting people and trying new things, and a chaotic night out that reminded me why dating in NYC can be… an experience.If you're entering your fall reset, fall glow-up, wellness era, fitness journey, or personal growth era, this episode is for you.✨ Subscribe for new episodes every Tuesday and come lock in with me.#FallReset #FallLockIn #PersonalGrowth #SelfImprovement #FitnessJourney #Confidence #DatingAdvice #NYCDating #GettingOutOfYourComfortZoneGet a $45 free gift from Manukora Raw Manuka Honey with my code STELLA https://manukora.com/STELLAGet 10% off PROZIS with code STELLARAE10 http://prozis.com/1LMJGGet $1000 off the health coach certification program I'm doing with promo code STELLACOACHING https://www.shareasale.com/u.cfm?d=1281553&m=96296&u=1030263instagram http://instagram.com/stellaraepodcastmy fav books/products/health: https://www.amazon.com/shop/stellaraelisten on spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/2DMbeh7EqiqgROIjvW0sI9listen on apple podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-stella-rae-podcast/id125561818200:00 Fall is the perfect time for a life reassessment00:42 “Wherever you go, there you are” + knowing when to make a change01:42 How to tell if you're scared or something genuinely isn't aligned02:01 Why you need to get outside your comfort zone02:10 Why I don't believe in being nonchalant03:04 How to practice getting uncomfortable every day03:33 Learning to speak up and stop avoiding discomfort04:02 There is no perfect life — stop waiting for one04:47 Creating your ideal life starts with your current situation05:49 Planning the rest of 2026 + setting yourself up for 202706:14 Why writing things down actually changes everything06:48 How planning your days gives your life more purpose07:41 My new fitness goals: building muscle & strength08:26 My goals for abs, running & getting stronger09:19 What to do when you're discouraged with your progress09:53 Story time: my night out + salsa in NYC10:15 How I went from feeling awkward dancing to actually having fun11:19 Why I'm trying to socialize more outside of nightlife11:58 The weirdest interaction at the bar 😭12:46 When a stranger gives you a VERY bad vibe13:35 Why I want to go to more salsa/dance events13:48 Why dating in NYC is so hard14:28 Why I don't ignore red flags anymore15:32 The problem with “date multiple people” advice16:02 Dating apps vs. meeting people in real life16:26 “Men don't approach anymore” — let's talk about it17:13 How to actually signal that you're interested18:00-ish Dating, confidence & putting yourself out there#StellaRaePodcast

    locking in made me really lonely...here's what i'm changing

    In this episode of The Stella Rae Podcast, we’re talking about self-improvement, getting out of your comfort zone, adult friendships, loneliness, community, and why not every piece of advice is meant for everyone.I’ve been thinking a lot about the difference between learning to be comfortable on your own and actually building meaningful connections with other people. As someone who works for herself and spends a lot of time alone, I’ve realized that being independent is great—but I also genuinely need community, social interaction, and people in my life to feel my best.We’re also talking about why I think some self-improvement advice has gone too far in the “you don’t need anyone” direction, why sometimes you really DO need to try harder, and how to know when you need to push yourself versus when you need to give yourself grace.I share some of the things I’m considering to meet more people as an adult—from trying new gyms and run clubs to potentially starting my own events—and why putting yourself out there can feel so awkward but be completely worth it.Plus: comparing your friendships to other people’s, feeling behind socially as you get older, learning to let go of relationships that no longer serve you, and accepting that cringing at your past self is actually a sign that you’ve grown. 😂If you’ve been feeling lonely, stuck in your routine, or like you want to make more friends and get out of your comfort zone, I hope this episode gives you something to think about.💌 Let me know your thoughts in the comments and tell me: **how do you make friends and build community as an adult?**🎙️ THE STELLA RAE PODCASTNew episodes every week covering wellness, self-improvement, lifestyle, relationships, confidence, fitness, and navigating lifeee.#TheStellaRaePodcast #SelfImprovement #AdultFriendships #MakingFriends #Loneliness #PersonalGrowth #GetOutOfYourComfortZone #LifeAdvice #Wellness #ConfidenceGet $1000 off the health coach certification program I'm doing with promo code STELLACOACHING https://www.shareasale.com/u.cfm?d=1281553&m=96296&u=1030263I edit using Riverside! https://www.riverside.fm/?utm_campaign=campaign_5&utm_medium=affiliate&utm_source=rewardful&via=stella-holtlisten on spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/2DMbeh7EqiqgROIjvW0sI9listen on apple podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-stella-rae-podcast/id1255618182#StellaRaePodcast

    i don't care if skinny is trendy again...

    Is wellness actually becoming healthier... or are we just repackaging the pressure to be skinny?In today's episode, we're talking about body image, Ozempic, GLP-1 medications, fitness trends, Strong Girl Summer, strength training, muscle building, social media algorithms, and why women's bodies seem to become trends every few years.I share my own fitness journey, why lifting weights has completely changed my confidence, the importance of building muscle for long-term health, and how to create a healthier relationship with your body that isn't based on whatever aesthetic is trending online.We also answer your questions about body recomposition, staying motivated in the gym, tracking macros, confidence, healthy habits, and finding balance while still enjoying your life.If you've ever felt pressured by beauty standards, diet culture, or social media, I hope this episode reminds you to build a body and a life that serves you, not the trend cycle.♡ New episodes every week covering wellness, confidence, mindset, productivity, fitness, nutrition, and navigating your 20s.enjoy & dont forget to tweet/ig story me a screenshot of you listening!Get $1000 off the mindbodygreen health coach certification program I'm doing with promo code STELLACOACHING https://www.shareasale.com/u.cfm?d=1281553&m=96296&u=1030263I edit using Riverside! https://www.riverside.fm/?utm_campaign=campaign_5&utm_medium=affiliate&utm_source=rewardful&via=stella-holtinstagram http://instagram.com/stellaraepodcast00:00 Is wellness just the new skinny?01:45 Women's bodies have always been trends04:20 Ozempic, GLP-1s & the return of "skinny"06:35 Why building muscle matters more than ever08:05 The dangerous messages women are hearing online10:45 Why strength is empowering12:20 How lifting weights changed my confidence15:10 Clean up your social media algorithm17:05 Pinterest, vision boards & protecting your mindset18:20 Fueling your body instead of fearing food20:05 Fitness for longevity—not trends22:00 Different seasons of being "locked in"24:10 Q&A: Getting stronger but not smaller25:35 Staying motivated when skinny is trending27:15 Healthy discipline vs body obsession28:45 Final thoughts: Build the body you want#StellaRaePodcast

    how i'm balancing discipline and actually living my life this summer

    Summer is the time of year when it's easiest to fall off...your routine, your goals, your gym schedule, all of it. But what if balance didn't mean choosing between being disciplined and actually living your life? In today's episode, I'm talking about how I find that sweet spot, why I quit my nannying job to fully lock in on my own business, my biggest regrets from my early 20s and what I'm doing differently now, and why the fear of looking stupid or cringe is the thing that's actually holding you back.I also share some NYC storytimes.. the Puerto Rican Day Parade, salsa dancing with zero skill, ordering ice cream in Spanish and saying the completely wrong word, and what years of nannying taught me about boundaries, leadership, and why so many parents are doing too much for their kids.If you've ever struggled with perfectionism, an all-or-nothing mindset, social anxiety, or feeling like you should be further along by now, this one's for you.♡ Subscribe for weekly episodes on confidence, self-growth, wellness, fitness, and navigating life in your 20s.My CVS self tan must haves! https://creators.cvs.com/mypage/stellarae/collections/16001 Get 10% off Prozis with code STELLARAE10 prozis.com/1LMJGGet 10 free meals and free breakfast for life from HelloFresh with code HF-0449 https://www.filify.co/SHBn0 Get $1000 off the health coach certification program I'm doing with promo code STELLACOACHING https://www.shareasale.com/u.cfm?d=1281553&m=96296&u=1030263instagram http://instagram.com/stellaraepodcastlisten to and/or support the podcast: https://anchor.fm/stella-raetiktok: http://tiktok.com/@stellaraeherselftwitter: http://twitter.com/stellaraegoodreads: https://www.goodreads.com/user/show/10449999-stella-raemy fav books/products/health: https://www.amazon.com/shop/stellaraemy current filming set up:camera: https://amzn.to/4cEQiLOmicrophone: https://amzn.to/3Z2A5gctripod: https://amzn.to/3AEmxgKring light: https://amzn.to/3XxZrShbox lights: https://amzn.to/4e1Q1Ubportable light for phone: https://amzn.to/3XxZspjlisten on spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/2DMbeh7EqiqgROIjvW0sI9listen on apple podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-stella-rae-podcast/id125561818200:00 Summer is here...don't lose yourself this season01:18 I officially quit nannying03:25 How to balance discipline and actually living your life06:35 Why all-or-nothing thinking keeps people stuck08:10 My biggest regrets from my early 20s10:05 Stop being afraid to try harder11:30 Feeling "cringe" is part of becoming confident13:35 Puerto Rican parade & salsa dancing storytime16:05 Why NYC keeps pushing me outside my comfort zone18:20 Ordering in Spanish (and embarrassing myself)20:40 Confidence comes after you feel stupid23:55 Why people become haters25:15 My thoughts after years of nannying27:20 Gentle parenting, boundaries & raising independent kids31:10 Why natural consequences actually work34:45 Parents doing too much for their kids36:30 Final thoughts on enjoying your summer without falling off#StellaRaePodcast
