  • Amazing.

    Kara turns so many accepted paradigms upside down to look at how they actually work. The way we set goals, create confidence, relate to others and ourselves - she takes concepts apart to reveal ways to examine our thinking and she’s taught me how to make mindset shifts that serve me WAAY better. This work is SO important - thank you, Kara!

  • Remarkable podcast, I've been listening for a few years now and I always come back to relisten to episodes that were most impactful to me. Practicing thought work has absolutely impacted my life, I'm now getting what I want and need thanks to guidance within the society. Yes, it's a business, so of course she's going to tell you about joining and taking courses. You're welcome to focus on and criticize that aspect, but if you do you're missing the magic (and the point) of the whole podcast.

  • A podcast that can actually get rid of your anxiety.

    I have lived with anxiety since my early 20’s when I started my first full-time job. My anxiety became so overwhelming that it was debilitating. Listening to Kara’s coaching on this podcast really opened my eyes to the fact that I was in control of my thoughts and feelings. I used to feel out of control and now I am calm and at ease. My partner now asks me if I’m “Okay” because I am quiet and at peace. My answer is always, “Yes, I’m good. Thank you.” Every time I reply that, I am reminded of the... more

  • Feminist self-help that leaps off the page

    It's not often you run into a podcast that helps take all the things you've read in feminist self-help books and actually apply them to real life. Every time I listen to this episode, I feel more capable of creating the life of my dreams with practical hands-on guidance and depth.

  • Extremely eye opening

    I started listening to this podcast a little over two years ago .It really opened my eyes to patterns in my own mind and thought process, teaching me ways to understand why they became so prominent in my mind while showing me my perfectionist tendencies and small ways to overcome those things. Every now and again I fall off listening and see/ notice little thought patterns returning. I highly recommend for anyone wanting to learn even the tiniest thing about themselves to give it a try.
