- Life-Changing
I have been listening to this podcast since 2019. At that point in my life, I only had a high school diploma and was working a series of dead-end food service jobs. I had always been great and school growing up, but I had crippling anxiety, depression, and confidence issues that led me to dropping out of college and losing my spark.
Kara’s teachings were honestly the catalyst that helped me change my life. As of today, I have a masters degree and work at a mission-oriented nonprofit, which I a... more

Used to love this podcast. The advice used to feel more tangible, but it’s become reductionist. I get that our emotions are controlled by our thoughts, but sometimes simply “changing your thoughts” doesn’t make a very real problem go away. It’s just toxic positivity packaged differently.
Apple Podcasts2Lin646842United Statesa month ago - This podcast changed how I relate to my own mind.
The thought work Kara teaches isn’t fluffy. It’s practical, honest, and sometimes uncomfortable in the best way. What sets her apart is that she doesn’t let us skip past why our thoughts are the way they are. She names it directly. Women are socialized to doubt themselves, shrink themselves, and make everyone else’s comfort more important than their own truth. That’s not a personal flaw. It’s conditioning. And once you see it, you can’t unsee it. That’s where the real work begins. Thank you Kara... more

Canadaa month ago - Kara is in my head
I have listened to several episodes and Kara describes exactly how I feel. How did she know? I did not realize so many other women may feel this way. Right now, I am listening to the confidence compass skills and loving the episodes!
Apple Podcasts5LKB987United States2 months ago - So great!
I discovered Kara’s podcast about a month ago and have been binge listening ever since. I often feel sad when an episode ends and cue up another one. My favorite episode so far has been “Borrow My Thoughts,” in which she shares how she changed her dating life by thinking, “Women my size have found love “ or her career by thinking, “Dumber people than me have succeeded in this area.” Since then, I find myself spontaneously coming up with useful reframes like, “I can handle doing tasks with subrou... more
