SHE'S BACK: Welcome to the New Era of Style Your Mind

Fri, 11 Sep 2026 12:26:00 +0000

Well, well, well. Look who's back. After nearly a decade, millions of downloads, one rebrand, and a little time away, Style Your Mind is officially back. In this episode, I'm sharing why I changed the name of the podcast in the first place, why that chapter made perfect sense for the woman I was then, and why I've found myself craving the bigger conversations that made me fall in love with podcasting in the first place. We're talking ambition, business, money, creativity, reinvention, and building a big life. And perhaps most importantly, what it looks like to want more from a place of peace, rather than believing something has to be wrong with the life you already have. Life has a lot of seasons. And this one feels very different. I know who I am. I know what I want to talk about. And I have so much more to say. Welcome back to Style Your Mind.

How to Not Edit Yourself Out of Your Own Life

Fri, 14 Aug 2026 15:46:00 +0000

Today I'm talking about what it looks like to honor the parts of yourself that make you, YOU, even when life is changing rapidly. Relationships, kids, moves, career changes—they can all shift us so deeply that we can lose ourselves if we aren't careful. Join me from the living room in my historic Southern home for an intimate and honest conversation about how to honor the woman you've always been and make room for the woman you're becoming. Remember this: you're allowed to change your mind. You're allowed to want different things than the people you love. You're allowed to have something that's just yours. And you're allowed to keep becoming without leaving yourself behind. PS - If you're in New York on August 20th, I'm hosting an intimate champagne dinner for six women. Bring me your book idea. Your manuscript. Your Substack. Your author brand. Your publishing questions. The creative business you're trying to build. The thing you can't seem to figure out on your own. You'll get my eyes on it. We'll talk about what's working, what isn't, what I see for you, and what I think your next move should be. I know some of my biggest shifts have happened that way. Over a fabulous drink at a fabulous table with fabulous women. Sometimes you just need the right environment to help you think bigger. I'd love to create that for you.

Your Hot Pink Permission Slip to Publish Anyway: How to Stop Overthinking and Trust Your Words

Tue, 04 Aug 2026 15:33:00 +0000

What if the sentence that changes your life is the one you almost didn't publish? In this episode, I'm sharing the story of how a single sentence from an old blog post unexpectedly ended up on a billboard in Europe, and why it completely changed the way I think about creativity, publishing, and trusting your work. If you've been sitting on an essay, a book idea, a Substack post, or even a single paragraph because you're waiting for it to be better, this episode is your reminder that you don't get to decide which piece of your work will resonate with someone else. Your job isn't to predict the outcome. It's to keep showing up. By the end of this episode, I hope you'll give yourself permission to stop overthinking, start publishing, and remember that one honest sentence has the power to change everything. 💖 Your homework: Before you go to bed tonight, write one sentence that feels true for you. Let it be unedited, imperfect. And don't delete it! Sit with it and see where it leads you. You have no idea what it might become.

Fri, 10 Jul 2026 11:24:00 +0000

Today on the show, I'm joined by my fiancé, Aaron Leatherbarrow, for one of the most honest conversations we've ever had. We talk about what it's been like to reinvent my life in my 40s—from leaving New York and becoming a stepmom to navigating a blended family, building a creative life together, and redefining what a healthy relationship looks like.

Thu, 16 Apr 2026 21:09:00 +0000

Today's episode is for anyone who's ever fallen in love, ignored a red flag, or romanticized someone who absolutely did not deserve it. I'm joined by writer and author E.M.

What it really takes to write about your exes (and actually publish it)
The line between love and delusion
Writing through heartbreak vs. writing after it
Navigating real people on the page
How New York shapes the way we love (for better or worse)
What happens when you finally tell the truth about your life

Why Writing Your Book is Your Ultimate Power Move in 2026

Tue, 31 Mar 2026 01:46:00 +0000

In this episode, I'm joined by my good friend Amanda Frances for a real, unfiltered conversation about what it actually looks like to become an author today—and why self-publishing is no longer the "alternative"… it's the power move. Between the two of us, we've sold hundreds of thousands of books, built global audiences, and turned our writing into real businesses. And at one point, we both had the same realization: We don't need permission. In this episode, we're pulling back the curtain on the publishing industry, breaking down the myths, and showing you what's actually possible when you decide to do it your way. If you've been thinking about writing a book, sitting on an idea, or waiting to be chosen...this is your sign. In this episode, we talk about:

The biggest myths about traditional publishing
What book deals really look like behind the scenes
Why self-publishing gives you more control, ownership, and income
How to turn your book into a long-term asset (not just a one-time project)
The identity shift required to become a visible, paid author
What to do if you want to start writing your book now

This episode is for you if:

You have a book idea you haven't acted on
You've been waiting for a publisher, agent, or "right time"
You want to build a brand, business, or platform through your writing
You're ready to stop playing small and actually put your work into the world

The Glamour of Self-Sabotage: The Pretty Little Lies That Steal Your Power

Tue, 24 Feb 2026 16:31:00 +0000

It's time to stop glamorizing the things that are secretly destroying you. In this episode, I'm talking about the seemingly harmless habits, personality traits, and lifestyle choices we defend...even when they're keeping us stuck. Wine culture, exhaustion as identity, staying where it's comfortable, calling chaos passion. Many of us are telling ourselves pretty little lies about the way we're living and wonder why we're not reaching out potential. If you're ready to explore the "aesthetic" or glamorous ways you may be subconsioculy sabotaging yourself, this one's for you.

If You Want a New Life, You Have to Burn Down Your Old One

Mon, 23 Feb 2026 16:21:00 +0000

Six months ago, I burned down my old life. I left everything I ever knew in New York City and headed to Jacksonville, Florida. For love. For a fresh start. And for the chance to meet a new version of myself. But here's what nobody tells you: the move is the easy part. The indentity shift is brutal. In today's episode, I'm talking about the messy middle, the terrifying limbo that holds you hostage as you step into your new era. It's definitely not all sunshine and champagne, but if you navigiate it the right way, it's always, always worth it. If you're in-between two versions of yourself right now, this one's for you.

Is It Time to Ghost Your Old Life? Truth, Identity, and Your Next Era

Sat, 09 Aug 2025 12:40:00 +0000

Sometimes the hardest person to be honest with is yourself. In this episode, I’m sharing the story of how I went from a $5,600-a-month luxury Manhattan apartment and endless freedom…to packing up my life and moving to Florida to step into the love, family, and future I didn’t even know I wanted. It’s about recognizing when the version of you you’ve been clinging to, no matter how glamorous, independent, or accomplished, has expired. It’s about ghosting the old life that no longer fits, and having the courage to step into the one that’s calling you. We’ll talk about starting over, rewriting your story, and why telling yourself the truth will get you to your next era faster than anything else. If you’ve been feeling the pull toward something different, something bigger, this episode is your permission slip to stop fighting it and finally own what you really want. ✨ PS: Enrollment is open for Literary Queens, my signature storytelling workshop for women ready to own their voice and write their most magnetic stories.

2025 INs and OUTs (Cara's Version)

Thu, 16 Jan 2025 19:51:00 +0000

I love the INs and OUTs lists everyone makes around this time of year. So naturally I make my own. They are fun but powerful reminders of what I’m taking with me into the new year, and what I’m leaving far behind (for example, I’ll be happy to never eat at a strip mall chain restaurant in Florida ever again). 2024 came in hot. My head is still spinning at the sheer amount of plot twists and lessons that were packed within this weird and wild 365 day span of time. But we keep it moving. We learn and we grow and even when it doesn’t all make sense, we somehow become better versions of ourselves. And we only listen to Taylor Swift when we’re mentally preapred to do so. No matter what this year brought you, I hope that you give yourself a hell of a lot of grace. And I hope that you decide who you will be in 2025, because you, my queen, have been — and always will be — the author of your life. XOXO,

Rich As F*ck Through Self-Publishing: How We Turned Books into Literary (and Financial) Empires with Amanda Frances

Wed, 18 Dec 2024 12:19:00 +0000

As a bestselling author who has sold over 300,000 books translated into 10 languages, I know a thing or two about publishing. But let me tell you, it wasn’t always this way. My journey started over 12 years ago with a manuscript that was rejected by 19 publishers. Nineteen! Instead of giving up, I made a bold decision: no one was going to decide my story but me. I took control, self-published my book, and turned that first "no" into a thriving literary empire of 10 books (and counting) that have inspired women all over the world. Looking back, I often wish I had a mentor —a fierce, self-made author who had been there, done that, and could walk me through the self-publishing process. Someone who could have poured me a glass of wine and said, "Girl, here’s how it’s done!" That dream mentor didn’t exist for me then, but it inspired me to become that person for others now. Enter Amanda Frances, my fellow self-publishing queen and dear friend. Amanda is a powerhouse who made the bold move to self-publish her book Rich AF after realizing she wanted full ownership of her work (and the royalties that come with it). When she came to me for guidance, I knew her intuition was spot on. Amanda didn’t just publish her book; she crushed it, selling over 100,000 copies and counting, all while keeping every ounce of her creative and financial power. Together, Amanda and I have proven that self-published books can (and do!) outperform traditionally published titles —even the ones with big budgets and flashy marketing campaigns. In 2021, we joined forces to create Self-Published, a course designed to help women like you take charge, tell their stories, and get their books into the world on their terms. Today, we’re bringing you a very special episode packed with our best self-publishing secrets, lessons we’ve learned since launching the course, insights on how the publishing landscape continues to evolve, and strategies to stay ahead as a fierce and fabulous female writer. If you’ve ever dreamed of holding your own book in your hands, this is your sign to make it happen. Enrollment is now open for Self-Published! Join us here and make 2025 the year you claim your spot as a published author. Let’s do this —together. JOIN SELF-PUBLISHED HERE.

Why Successful Women Struggle in Dating + Relationships

Sat, 15 Oct 2022 14:40:00 +0000

No matter how much men say they want an equal partner, a woman who’s smart, successful, and fiercely independent, studies find that those women often make men feel emasculated or inferior (so no, its not in your head, boo!)
There is research by Lora Park, associate professor in the University at Buffalo psychology department, that shows when asked what they wanted in a woman, men wanted “the whole package” – specifically women who were smart and successful. But when given the opportunity to close the distance, and actually meet and/or date these women, the men started to lose interest. So the good news is, in most cases, it's not you, it's definitely him. But what can we do about it? Today's episode will teach you how to navigate the modern dating landscape, stop blaming yourself for failed relationships, and approach dating in a new and empowered way.

Join us now here: https://www.thechampagnediet.com/coaching-queen Less than a week ago, I opened the doors to Coaching Queen and within 3 days I had generated $56,000 in sales with minimal effort (and a lot of fun and freedom), so I thought I would break it down to you and share how I did it, and how you can, too. Here's the thing about creating a powerful coaching brand in today's day and age - you do not have to be an OG, or have had a brand for over a decade to create a massive impact or generate a massive income.

Sun, 09 Oct 2022 19:38:00 +0000

What I Wish I Knew Before I Became a Coach

Sun, 09 Oct 2022 16:09:00 +0000

There are only a few days left to enroll in COACHING QUEEN! Limited spots are available. Sign up here: https://www.thechampagnediet.com/coaching-queen It's easy to think successful 6 and 7 coaches have it all figured out, never experienced any failures, and have something that you don't. That could not be further from the truth. I've had book signings that nobody showed up to except my husband and my bestie. I've launched programs that nobody bought. I've flopped major speaking gigs and had panic attacks in front of hundreds of people. But I pushed through all of those uncomfortable moments because I believed in myself. I knew that each “failure” was really just an experience. And they made me more resilient, more focused, and more determined to become a success. In today's episode, I'm sharing 3 things I wish I knew before becoming a coach. I hope this episode saves you time, stress, and makes you feel less alone in your business.

How I Landed on a Billboard in Times Square

Enroll in COACHING QUEEN now! Join us here: https://www.thechampagnediet.com/coaching-queen If you follow me on Instagram, or you happened to be walking through Times Square yesterday, you probably saw my face on a billboard. That’s right – I put myself on a billboard in Times Square. It was actually an advertisement for this podcast. We’re coming up on nearly 10 million downloads, so I figured, why not celebrate? It’s not lost on me that my face was on a billboard in Times Square, across the street from the cubicle I used to sit in for 8 years. The cubicle I dreamed in and desperately plotted to get out of. In today's episode, I'm sharing how it all went down. There is immense power in choosing yourself. In cultivating a vision, working your ass off to see it through, and keeping blinders on all along the way.

Wherever you are today, I hope you realize that your biggest adventures are up to you. Nobody is coming to hand anything to you (or me) on a silver platter.

Take the risk.
Do the thing.
Make the decision.
Blow yourself up.

Unpopular Opinion: The Niche is Dead

Wed, 03 Nov 2021 14:53:04 +0000

In the 13+ years that I've been creating, re-imagining, and refining my brand, The Champagne Diet, I've witnessed many "experts" and coaches offer different approaches to business building. Some I've agreed with, and some have been downright damaging.

One of the more popular approaches is finding your niche. And while I am not totally against niches, I don't think they are for everyone. If you've found something super specific and it's working for you and your audience - that's wonderful!

I just know I could not do the exact same thing for the past 13 years, and almost every single one of my business clients has come to me feeling suffocated by the idea that she has to choose some specialized segment of her market and never veer off course.
In today's episode, I'm sharing my thoughts on why the "niche" is dead and how we can begin to look at our brands from a completely different, more creative, empowered perspective.

There seems to be this narrative going on in the world of entrepreneurship where you're supposed to niche down on this one very specific thing, go 10x on that thing, drown yourself in webinars and content from others who are also doing that very specific thing, burn yourself out, and move onto the next huge goal before you've ever even come up for air after achieving the previous one. I am here to dispel that myth. In fact, that myth makes me crazy. It limits our creativity, stifles our natural talents, and sucks the fun out of life and business. In today's episode, I'm giving you some tips on how to have more fun in your business. Because after all, isn't that the point?

How to Get Better at Saying No

Thu, 18 Feb 2021 17:05:14 +0000

I used to hate saying no to people, especially early on in my career. I felt like I was letting someone down, then I'd get in my head and wonder if I was missing out on an opportunity, or if people would perceive me as a bitch (funny how that men don't think this way, right?) Once I started evaluating my energy, everything changed. I now check in with myself regularly and ask myself how I'm feeling. Do I feel drained? Or do I feel energized? And if I'm drained, what's the cause? Typically it's because I'm overextending myself. In this episode, I'm sharing practical tips on how to start saying no to others so you can start saying yes to yourself. Grab a notebook, because you'll want to take notes!

Episode 71: Dry January, Mindful Drinking, + Moderation

Fri, 05 Jan 2018 02:54:36 +0000

As some of you may know, I have been exploring my relationship with alcohol since the end of 2015. You can read more about my journey on the blog (click here), but I know I am not alone when I say drinking does not always serve me. In fact, it rarely does. Throughout the years, I've found myself hungover on way too many occasions, unable to reach my health and fitness goals, and just not operating at my optimal capacity. It has wreaked havoc on my confidence, left me in a bit of a fog at times, and hindered my spirit. I am ready to LEVEL UP in 2018, and booze isn't really a part of that program. I'm not saying I will never touch a drink again, but I am seriously cutting back - again. If you're considering a Dry January, an indefinite break from alcohol, or you just feel like you want to cut back a few days a week, then this episode may motivate you to do just that.

Fri, 15 Dec 2017 02:06:40 +0000

Can we talk about what a f*cking circus it is when you begin something new?! My apparel launch has been a MASSIVE success.

Episode 54: How to Boost Your CONFIDENCE and Reclaim Your Power Through Positive Self-Talk + Confidence-Building Habits

Mon, 30 Oct 2017 22:34:02 +0000

A few months ago, my publisher reached out to me to let me know that they wanted ME on the cover of my new book (insert freak out moment here!) I had a TON of emotions flowing through me when I got the news – I was super flattered, nervous, excited, anxious - you name it. I happily agreed, but kind of put it out of my head until a few days ago when my editor emailed me to say they had scheduled the shoot – and it was happening in less than 2 weeks! For anyone listening who has ever had a big event – whether it was your wedding, your own book cover, your brand photo shoot, a big presentation – ANYTHING like that – you know the feeling of paranoia that sweeps over you when you’re just a few days away from that big day. I felt those nervous feelings creeping in when I learned about the shoot, but this time, I was able to stop myself in my tracks and flip that anxiety into peacefulness by RECLAIMING my POWER. Rather than stressing out, I decided to get into action and start doing confidence-building activities that would make me feel good. And I want to share the EXACT steps I took with you guys so that you can use them as inspiration if you find yourself in a similar situation where your insecurity takes over. This episode’s power mantra:

Episode 48: How to Get into a HIGH VIBRATION and Attract Amazing Things Into Your Life

Wed, 04 Oct 2017 22:54:17 +0000

Have you ever had one of those days where you just feel awesome? Everything feels in flow, you feel clear, energized, ideas are flowing, you feel creative and just in the zone? That is what it means to be in a high vibe. It’s basically that feeling where you believe EVERYTHING is possible and nothing can get in your way. (I love those days!) On the flip side, there’s that state of being in a LOW vibration. That’s where you feel stuck, frustrated, jealous, BROKE, drained. All those crappy feelings that NOBODY has time for. If you’ve struggled with getting into that HIGH VIBE state, there are some ways you can shift your energy instantly so that you can feel fabulous and start attracting amazing things into your life and I'm sharing them all in this episode. I'm also sharing a personal story about how I shifted my vibration before leaving my full-time job to pursue my dreams. Because I do not believe we can live our best lives while we're in a low vibration. All change starts with our ENERGY. POWER QUOTES from this episode: "You have every opportunity in every moment of every day to choose a high vibration." "What we attract is a direct reflection of our energetic state." This episode's MANTRA: "My natural vibration is of joy, clarity, energy and love. I redirect any thoughts that do not serve my highest self." THANK YOU to our sponsor!

Episode 47: Do You Feel SUCCESSFUL?

Sat, 30 Sep 2017 19:21:57 +0000

Most of us learned from a young age to equate success with money and power. We hold high-powered CEOs, rich entrepreneurs and celebrities on pedestals, assuming that because they are “successful,” they have it all. We click through their Instagram feeds in awe, we binge-watch their reality television shows, and we spend our hard-earned money to see them speak and perform. But do we ever wonder if they are actually HAPPY? I invite you to redefine success with me today. I invite you to acknowledge that SUCCESS IS A STATE OF MIND. Something we all have access to. Something we can choose to tap into. And in this episode, I'm showing you how. Power quotes from this episode: "When we operate from a place of power, we understand that if we believe we are successful, then we are." "I invite you to acknowledge that success is a state of mind and it is something we all have access to." Grab the Style Your Mind workbook here: www.styleyourmind.com

Episode 46: How to Stop COMPARING Yourself to Other Women

Tue, 26 Sep 2017 23:24:10 +0000

Have you ever found yourself clicking around on Instagram or Facebook innocently enough, looking for “inspiration” – only to find yourself feeling totally consumed by someone else's life or business? I know its happened to me, and its happened to pretty much EVERY single woman I know. In this episode, I'm giving you actionable tips for how to get out of "compare and despair" mode, elevate your thinking, and stop thinking about what SHE'S got and start focusing on what YOU have. Power quotes from this episode: "One of the most common qualities of the evolved woman, as I love to call her, is that she does not allow feelings of comparison to swallow her whole." "When you have mastered yourself, you naturally celebrate another woman: her beauty, her success, and her accomplishments." "When you stand in your own power, competition dissolves."

Episode 45: The Art of LETTING GO: How to Release Your Past and Make Room for the New

Tue, 26 Sep 2017 23:22:57 +0000

“We can’t become what we need to be by remaining who we are” - Oprah. When we release something from our lives, we allow ourselves to detach from thoughts, feelings, people, and situations that are no longer meant to take up space. Whether it’s a relationship that has run its course, or a job that is no longer a fit for you, or a home you once lived in, we must let go of these things to invite the new. We must let go of the past in order to evolve. And as I always say, an evolving mind is a healthy mind. In this episode, I'm giving you actionable tools on how to let go and start enjoying the next phase of your life.
