Now she teaches feminist women how to undo the effects of patriarchy in their brains and create true authentic confidence from inside. She has grown her coaching business from zero to seven figures in the last 3 years, and is passionate about teaching women how to overcome anxiety and self-doubt so they can take on the world.
Get ready! We’re digging in about feminism, aging, body changes, aging, self confidence, self loathing, thought work, self acceptance, patriarchy, stereotypes, stigma, weight, lizards and more. Yes…lizards.
Kara also shares her three top tips to love your body, even in its older and wiser glory. You will laugh and you will think. What’s better than that?
