Gurl, Hold On with Kim McCarter

Ep3: Designing Your Life: The Personal Curriculum for 2026

Okay so real talk—how many of us have a whole business plan with revenue goals and marketing strategies... but we're just out here winging our actual LIVES? Yeah, me too. For years. You know that feeling when you're hitting your business goals but still feel empty? When you're doing ALL the things but nothing feels aligned? When you're successful on paper but exhausted in real life? That was me. And I had to figure out why. In this episode, I'm sharing the framework that changed everything for me. Five areas of life that, when you touch them consistently, keep you whole, grounded, and actually moving forward, not just staying busy. __________ Connect with Kim Did this episode hit home?

Ep2: Your Hustle Ain't Holy

Gurl, hold on because today we are challenging the "hustle gospel" we’ve all been fed. You know the one: "Team No Sleep," "Rise and Grind," and the absolute worst lie of them all—"I’ll rest when I make it." In this episode, Kim McCarter confronts the toxic spirituality that has convinced us that if we aren't exhausted, we aren't working hard enough. We are breaking down why hustle culture is really just capitalism wearing a crown and holding a vision board , and why we need to stop treating exhaustion like a competitive sport.

Ep1: Boundaries, Burnout & Believing Bigger: Why You Can’t Have One Without the Others

Welcome to the very first episode of Gurl, Hold On, the podcast where we stop pretending to have it all together and start having real conversations about the "messy middle" of life and business. In this inaugural episode, host Kim McCarter—business strategist and sales psychology expert—opens up about her own journey of operating on fumes while building successful systems for everyone else. We are diving deep into the three "B's" that have shaped every major pivot in her life: Boundaries, Burnout, and Believing Bigger. If you’ve ever felt like setting boundaries makes you "difficult" or "not spiritual," this episode is for you. Kim breaks down why the Universe doesn't honor burnout, why competence often tricks us into thinking our capacity is unlimited, and how to finally stop being a subscription service for people who aren't paying their dues. Grab your drink and get comfortable. It's time to prioritize your peace so you have the capacity to receive what’s actually meant for you. Connect with Kim Did this episode hit home?
