Ditch the Ick with Katie Carson: Redefining Relationships, Self-Worth, and Building Your Dream Life as Millennial and Gen X Women

77: The Rise of the Whole-Ass Woman: Why It's Your Time To Shine


Listen Later

It’s my birthday week, y’all! 🥳


This week, we’re going IN on what it means to be a whole a$$ woman—not a work in progress, not someone waiting for her “better half,” not someone needing fixing. Just whole, as you are, right now.


I’m sharing personal stories (hi, childhood trauma 🙃), the realities of perfectionism and people pleasing, and the steps I’ve taken—and am still taking—to unlearn the BS and show up unapologetically. We’re also breaking down some practical AF tools to help you stop shrinking, start celebrating your damn wins, and say NO without guilt. ✨


Inside this episode:

  • Why perfectionism is not your personality trait (it’s survival)
  • The burnout cycle high-achieving women are stuck in
  • Why being “the good girl” is a trap
  • How to reframe your “flaws” into your f*cking superpowers
  • Tips to stop playing small
  • We’re ending Women’s History Month by owning our whole-ass selves and ditching the “not enough” narrative once and for all. 🔥
