    Greatest Hits: How to Know When Emotional Difficulty Is Worth It

You'll discover how to develop discernment and self-trust, and learn when emotional difficulty is truly worth working through.

    How to Stop Giving a F*ck What Other People Think

    How to Stop Giving a F*ck What Other People Think

    In celebration of Independence Day, I'm discussing one of the ultimate forms of independence - breaking free from caring about what others think. As social creatures, humans have evolved to rely on relationships for survival, making us sensitive to others' opinions. However, this conditioning is often even deeper for women and can impact every aspect of their lives, including their careers, relationships, self-worth, parenting, and so much more. If you want to stop obsessing over what others think and start living unapologetically, where do you begin?
    Join me as I dive into why women struggle with this issue and provide actionable steps to rewire your brain and liberate yourself from this mental burden.

    Greatest Hits: How to Know What You Want

    Understanding what you want is key to creating a life you won’t regret when you die. So why do so many women struggle to pinpoint exactly what that is? If you can relate, in this Greatest Hits episode, I break exactly down what it means to want something (and why women especially might struggle to identify that), how to know what YOU truly want, and how to decide whether it's worth pursuing.

Life-Changing

I’ve done a lot of therapy and coaching, yet Kara always surprises me with nuggets of things I didn’t know before. Or that I didn’t see due to my socialization as a woman.

Hard to Listen to Uptalk

I scrolled the topics and found one I was excited in which to listen, only to find out the speaker is an uptalker. It’s very distracting and gives her less credibility when talking on feminist topics. I am saying this as constructive criticism as I too have been criticized for communicating in ways that portray me as not as confident or less credible (I.e. talking with my hands often).

It’s just marketing

I used to love this show. Lately it’s just been short blips marketing to buy the course. Quit wasting our time and just buy an advertisement.
