Episode 22: Self Care, Reinvention, and Living Unfiltered with Kara Vaval
This week on The F.E.E.L Podcast, we’re thrilled to welcome Kara Vaval, powerhouse entrepreneur, motivational speaker, and host of the Unfiltered Podcast. You may remember her from our crossover episode, “How to F.E.E.L Your Way to Freedom with Melissa Crook.” Kara is bold, raw, and unapologetically herself, the definition of reinvention and resilience.
In this inspiring conversation, Kara and Melissa dive into the importance of self care, setting boundaries, and reclaiming your power as a woman. Kara shares how self care became her foundation for transformation — not as a luxury, but as a declaration that she matters. From morning workouts to journaling, she reminds us that self care isn’t selfish—it’s survival.
Kara opens up about her personal growth journey, learning to love herself through each reinvention and embracing every version of who she’s been. She offers wisdom on taking control of your own narrative, honoring your nonnegotiables, and making sure that you are in the driver’s seat of your life.
This episode will leave you feeling inspired, empowered, and ready to start living life unfiltered, unapologetically, and authentically.
In This Episode, You’ll Learn:
Why self care is the foundation of self worth and empowerment
How to identify your nonnegotiables and set healthy boundaries
The power of journaling for emotional release and self-discovery
What it means to reinvent yourself unapologetically
How to take control of your life and live on your own terms
Ways to Engage: Think of something you want as nonnegotiable in your self-care practices. Is it having coffee by yourself in the morning? Is it a workout? Find something that nourishes your soul and weave it into your daily life. Pay attention to how it affects you or makes you feel.
