Listen Later

In this empowering episode, Certified Life & Weight Loss Coach Kara Hackleman challenges the idea that self-help should stem from a need to “fix” yourself. Kara encourages listeners to recognize that they are already whole, perfect, and capable. Instead of seeking change out of a sense of inadequacy, she explains how to approach growth from a place of abundance, curiosity, and self-acceptance. Learn to identify your motivations, let go of the constant need to fix, and pursue goals that truly fulfill you.

Key Points Covered:

  1. Moving from Fixing to Growing

    • How the constant pursuit of self-help can perpetuate the belief that you’re “broken” or “not enough.”
    • Shifting your mindset to embrace growth from a place of abundance and self-love, rather than lack.

      • Kara shares how a clear understanding of your “why” can help determine if you’re motivated by genuine curiosity and excitement or by self-criticism.
      • Questions to ask yourself to ensure your goals are rooted in positive self-acceptance rather than negative self-judgment.

      • Letting Go of ‘Shoulds’ and Embracing Desire

        • The power of choosing goals you truly desire instead of pursuing what you feel you “should” achieve.
