Ever feel like you’ve tried every coping strategy out there: meditation, journaling, affirmations and yet you’re still stuck in the same place? You’re not alone. 

In this episode, we look beyond all the tools and techniques to get real about what actually creates change. Spoiler alert: it’s not another new coping method. 

It’s the story you believe about yourself that makes the difference. Together, we’ll rethink why quick fixes don’t last and explore how shifting your beliefs, not just your habits, can finally move you forward. 

Let’s get honest about what it really takes to change for good. 

In this episode, Kim Keane explores the deep-rooted fear of being seen and how it often stems from past experiences and childhood moments of shame or embarrassment. Kim shares her own story of a high school talent show gone wrong and discusses how such events can shape our nervous system’s response to visibility, leading to procrastination and self-doubt. She explains that these reactions are not failures, but protective mechanisms. 

In this heartfelt episode, Kim sits down with Carla, a dynamic member of the Polka Dot Powerhouse community, to discuss her multifaceted journey as a government employee, balloon artist, and property investor. Carla shares candid stories about overcoming imposter syndrome, navigating male-dominated fields, and the importance of trusting one’s intuition. The conversation delves into the challenges and triumphs of womanhood, the power of self-investment, and the value of building supportive communities. Listeners will be inspired by Carla’s resilience, her commitment to helping other women achieve financial independence, and her philosophy of embracing life’s blessings and opportunities.
