We’re officially halfway through 2026 and this is your reminder that there is still SO much time to become the person you want to be 🤍 In this episode of the Stella Rae Podcast, I’m sharing my recent realization about time passing, entering my late 20s, and why June + summer can either become your biggest distraction or your biggest opportunity.We talk about how to lock in for the next 6 months, creating confidence through small daily habits, overcoming social anxiety, building stronger boundaries, becoming your own best friend, getting out of your comfort zone, living according to your values, creating a life you actually love, and finding fulfillment in the process instead of chasing constant happiness.I’m also sharing thoughts on New York “line culture,” consumerism, fitness, dressing cute every day, solo dates, community, and whether being “locked in” means sacrificing fun.In this episode:✨ how to make the next 6 months count✨ building confidence & self-worth✨ overcoming social anxiety✨ fitness + glow up habits✨ becoming your own best friend✨ learning to stop caring what people think✨ finding purpose & fulfillment✨ lock in summer mindsetenjoy & dont forget to tweet/ig story me a screenshot of you listening!EVERYTHING MENTIONED:MY CVS STOREFRONT and all my drugstore beauty favs!! https://creators.cvs.com/mypage/stellarae Wet n Wild Blush mentioned: https://cvscreator.sjv.io/bkNJobPhysicians Formula liquid bronzer mentioned: https://cvscreator.sjv.io/2R5zNaBooks mentioned:The Power of Strangers by Joe Keohane https://amzn.to/4v3BxeZThe Way of Excellence: A Guide to True Greatness and Deep Satisfaction in a Chaotic World by Brad Stulberg https://amzn.to/4tFUqUm 10% off PROZIS with code STELLARAE10 http://prozis.com/1LMJG$60 FREE Groceries + 30% OFF 1st order from Thrive Market!! https://shop.thrivemarket.com/stella6wiGet a $45 free gift from Manukora manuka honey!! use code STELLA https://manukora.com/STELLAUse my code HF-0449 for up to 10 free meals plus free breakfast for life from HelloFresh!!https://www.filify.co/SHBn0Get $1000 off the health coach certification program I did with promo code STELLACOACHING https://www.shareasale.com/u.cfm?d=1281553&m=96296&u=1030263I edit using Riverside! https://www.riverside.fm/?utm_campaign=campaign_5&utm_medium=affiliate&utm_source=rewardful&via=stella-holtshop my new glo up merch!! https://stellarae.myspreadshop.com/instagram http://instagram.com/stellaraepodcastlisten to and/or support the podcast: https://anchor.fm/stella-raetiktok: http://tiktok.com/@stellaraeherselftwitter: http://twitter.com/stellaraegoodreads: https://www.goodreads.com/user/show/10449999-stella-raemy fav books/products/health: https://www.amazon.com/shop/stellarae00:00 halfway through 2026: it’s time to lock in01:02 current favorite sun-kissed makeup combo02:13 getting older & realizing time moves FAST03:27 planning backwards: a mindset shift that helps anxiety04:56 trusting yourself & making hard decisions06:48 june reset: lock in summer mindset08:08 dressing cute every day changes your energy09:08 feeling awkward trying new things10:11 weighted abs, gym confidence & getting uncomfortable11:20 fitness journey + Prozis favorites12:10 consistency isn't the final level14:05 solo dates, FOMO & becoming your own best friend18:17 MindBodyGreen health coaching program19:20 overcoming social anxiety & talking to strangers25:20 the “bubble theory” for boundaries & self-worth28:42 HelloFresh + staying locked in during busy weeks29:45 “do you ever have fun?”31:15 why being productive actually feels fun to me33:05 happiness vs fulfillment36:40 stop caring what people think38:20 why I don’t regret doing life differently41:20 average happiness levels & questioning social norms43:46 Manukora honey favorites44:40 NYC line culture, viral trends & consumerism48:30 simplifying life & realizing you don’t need everything#StellaRaePodcast
