F*ck Fine

In this episode of F**k Fine , I sit down with Daffney Allwein for a raw, honest conversation about what it really means to reclaim yourself after years of doing what’s expected. Together, we unpack identity, boundaries, healing, and the messy middle of growth — where peace, grief, and power all coexist. This isn’t a highlight reel — it’s two women talking about the real, unfiltered work of unbeco...

We’ve been sold the idea that peace looks like candles, bubble baths, and endless calm — but that’s the myth of “pretty peace.” In reality, peace isn’t always soft or serene. Sometimes it’s found in tears on the floor, setting boundaries that hurt, or letting go of relationships you wanted to keep. In this episode, I share what “ugly peace” has looked like in my own life — the moments that felt an...

Vision boards get a lot of hype—collage nights, stacks of magazines, maybe a little glitter glue. Cute? Sure. Life-changing? Not so much. For me, vision boards used to feel like neon signs pointing out everything I didn’t have. They sat in the corner collecting dust, and instead of motivating me, they just made me feel behind. In this episode, I’m breaking down what most people get wrong about vis...

“Should” almost killed me. Literally. For two decades, I lived the life I thought I was supposed to. I made choices that looked good on paper but didn’t feel good in my soul. And when I finally broke free, I realized why “should” still pisses me off so much today. This episode is a raw look at how I learned to trust myself instead of chasing other people’s definitions of “responsible” or “successf...

Every Yes Comes with a Price Tag Ever said “yes” to something and instantly regretted it? That sinking, stomach-knot feeling that tells you… you knew better. We’ve been told to “say yes to everything” because you never know where it might lead. But here’s the thing—if your yes isn’t aligned with your energy, intuition, and values, it’s not an opportunity… it’s a drain. In this episode, I’m pulling...

Episode Summary: In a world obsessed with transformation, it's easy to get swept up in someone else’s glow-up and assume that their path must be your path too. But growth isn’t one-size-fits-all—and trying to follow someone else’s formula can leave you exhausted, disconnected, and buried in shame. In this episode, we’re getting real about the difference between self-honoring growth and self-punish...

We’re so used to measuring progress in checklists and milestones that we forget the most powerful growth is often invisible. What if healing looked like softness? What if becoming meant slowing down, not leveling up? This one’s for the version of you that’s tired of striving and ready to just be. You are not a self-improvement project. You are a whole-ass human. Listen now Get full access to Kari...

I’m reposting this episode, because the original is in the wrong format - LOL “Remember who the f*ck you are,” right? It’s a hype mantra thrown around by women all the time. Your girl gang will use it as a reminder that you’re strong, resilient, and powerful. And yes, you are. But what if remembering who the f**k you are isn’t just about your strength? The other day when I was scrolling I saw a re...

After a stretch of silence, I’m back on the mic—and in this episode, I’m getting honest about what the past few months have really looked like. Spoiler: Peace wasn’t soft and gentle. It was quiet, yes—but it was also messy, uncomfortable, and full of grief and letting go. This is the side of peace we don’t talk about enough.

***NOTE: This episode should have been published back in OCTOBER. My little hiatus was much longer than I anticipated. My apologies to Leasa. For so many of us, success has come at a cost. We push ourselves to achieve, to meet impossible expectations, to prove our worth through external validation. But what happens when we realize that the life we’ve built is fueled by anxiety, perfectionism, and...
