September isn’t just another month, it’s the real New Year. While January is all cold, broke, and bloated, September carries that back-to-school energy: fresh notebooks, crisp air, and the collective urge to get your life together. In this episode of For Better Days Podcast, I’m breaking down why September has this reset effect on us and walking you through my 4-step framework to actually use it. I share my own September reset, from rebuilding routines to shifting my identity into CEO mode, and give you journal prompts, rituals, and mindset shifts so you can close out 2025 as the version of yourself you’ll be proud of.↓ STAY CONNECTED↓♡ Personal Instagram♡ For Better Days Instagram♡ YouTube Channel♡ TikTokRELATED EPISODES:♡ Stop Letting Fear Hold You Back♡ You Need To Start Trusting Yourself♡ Manifest Your Dream LifeSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
If you’ve ever said “I’m just not a confident person,” this episode is for you. For years, I thought confidence was something you either had or you didn’t, reserved for the girls who never second-guessed themselves. But the truth? Confidence isn’t born, it’s built. In this episode, we’ll break down the myths that keep you stuck in self-doubt, unpack the neuroscience of self-trust, and walk through the exact steps to actually build real, grounded confidence. From keeping small promises to yourself, to exposing yourself to discomfort, to detaching from outcomes, this is the blueprint to finally stop shrinking, start trusting yourself, and show up as the most confident version of you.↓ STAY CONNECTED↓♡ Personal Instagram♡ For Better Days Instagram♡ YouTube Channel♡ TikTokRELATED EPISODES:♡ Stop Letting Fear Hold You Back♡ You Need To Start Trusting Yourself♡ Manifest Your Dream LifeSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
You’re journaling. You’re visualizing. You’re saying all the affirmations…but your reality looks exactly the same. This episode is for the girl who feels stuck even while doing the inner work. I’m breaking down the identity gap, the invisible space between your current self and the version of you who already has the life you want. We’ll talk about the psychology, neuroscience, and manifestation behind why your external reality hasn’t caught up yet, how to recognize the signs you’re in the gap, and practical ways to close it through embodiment, environment, and nervous system work.↓ STAY CONNECTED↓♡ Personal Instagram♡ For Better Days Instagram♡ YouTube Channel♡ TikTokRELATED EPISODES:♡ Stop Letting Fear Hold You Back♡ You Need To Start Trusting Yourself♡ Manifest Your Dream LifeSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
You know that weird in-between season where you feel… off? The routines you once loved feel empty. The goals you used to chase don’t excite you. The spaces you once fit into now feel too small. It’s not that you’re lost — it’s that you’ve outgrown your old self. In this episode, Keara takes you through the moments where she knew she was changing. From leaving her corporate job, to moving to Bali, to traveling full-time (and the neuroscience behind why this happens). Keara talks about how to recognize the signs, why the disconnect is actually proof of growth, and how to move through this season without rushing your reinvention.↓ STAY CONNECTED↓♡ Personal Instagram♡ For Better Days Instagram♡ YouTube Channel♡ TikTokRELATED EPISODES:♡ Stop Letting Fear Hold You Back♡ You Need To Start Trusting Yourself♡ Manifest Your Dream LifeSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
