While on my whirlwind UK adventure, I had the chance to catch up with Kira Matthews, a very popular previous guest on the podcast. Kira, a mindset and manifestation coach, is back to share more of her practical wisdom on bridging the gap between who we are now and who we want to become.

In this episode, we unpack how to rewrite the narrative of your life, focusing on understanding your identity and making intentional, incremental changes. Kira explains why overnight transformations often fail and highlights the value of embracing discomfort as part of growth. Together, we’re tackling perfectionism, reframing limiting beliefs, and building the confidence to move forward.

If you’ve been feeling stuck or unsure how to take the next step toward your goals, this episode is packed with insights to help you start rewriting your story today.

Episode highlights:

• How understanding your identity drives transformation.

• Why small, intentional changes lead to lasting growth.

• Practical strategies to overcome perfectionism and self-doubt.

“When I think about changing your story, it's about suddenly being aware of all of these characters, this setting, this scene, this story, the beginning and the end, and saying, actually, I want something new."
Kira [05:32]

“Perfectionists avoid trying to do something the first time because they’re attempting to navigate that inner critic - that’s so out of control."
Kira [24:25]

“Co-working spaces have been really good for me—being around people who are also self-employed—because otherwise it’s so isolating, and you do feel like you’re wrong."
Emma [42:12]

SURPRISE!!!! WE'RE BACK BABY! Yep, welcome to season 3 of The Comments Section. You're joined by your two favourite chaos queens, Emma and Victoria. In our first eppy back, we're talking about your past, present and future self, and how the different versions of ourselves relate to our finances. Plus, we unpack the rise of the weight loss wonder drug, and question what it'll do for body acceptance, plus size fashion, and our relationship with who we are.
