Not That Girl is the faceless podcast for women and anyone who are done chasing perfection.
Hosted by Zara, this show is for real talk on our world, trends, life, girl talk, weight loss after VSG, shifting your mindset, surviving mom life, and finally letting go of the pressure to be someone you’re not.
If you’ve ever looked at “That Girl” and thought, I wish I could… this podcast is here to tell you: you don’t have to.
Come as you are, stay for the honesty, and leave with a little more love for your own journey.
In this episode of Not That Girl, we dive into the power and importance of enjoying your own company. Learn why taking yourself out — whether it’s to a restaurant, coffee shop, or even just a quiet walk — can build confidence, self-love, and presence. I share personal stories from my journey of embracing solo experiences, from savoring breakfast at my favorite café to appreciating the art of getting my nails done. Plus, hear about a friend who took the leap to enjoy the beach alone and how it transformed her perspective. Stick around for three practical tips on how to start loving your alone time and make it a meaningful part of your life.

Joy isn’t a reward. It’s a right!
In this episode of Not That Girl, we unpack the idea that joy isn’t something we have to earn after hustling, shrinking, or proving ourselves—it’s something we’re already worthy of. Let’s talk about unlearning the belief that happiness is a finish line, and start embracing joy as a daily right, not a distant prize. Whether you’re in the middle of healing, growing, or just surviving, this one’s for you.

Who were you before they told you who to be?
Somewhere along the way, we stopped being ourselves and started becoming what others needed—what family expected, what culture applauded, what social media praised.
In this episode, we’re peeling back those layers.
I’m asking you to pause… and really think about who you were before the world gave you a label, before you were someone’s mom, partner, employee, or fixer.
Together, we’ll talk about:
• Why we lose ourselves in roles and routines
• How to start reconnecting with your own identity
• 5 soft but powerful questions to help you remember who you were—and who you still are
This one’s gentle, reflective, and personal. You might want a journal nearby.
Let this episode remind you:
✨ You are more than what you do.
✨ You were someone beautiful before the world had a say.
✨ And it’s not too late to return to her.

Healing while still showing up
This episode is raw, honest, and from the heart.
What if healing doesn’t look like journaling in the sun or going to therapy every week—but instead looks like crying in the car, surviving on toast, and still showing up for your kids when your world feels like it’s falling apart?
In this very personal episode, I open up about a two-year season where everything felt heavy. My son had just been diagnosed with autism, my husband was facing job loss, and I was asking myself every day, “Why can’t I keep it together?”
Even with a background in this field, I felt like I was failing—at home, as a mom, and as a woman.
But I kept trying. I got help. I learned that healing doesn’t require you to disappear—it just asks that you keep going, one soft step at a time.
✨ This episode is for the woman who’s exhausted, overwhelmed, and still showing up for everyone else.
✨ If healing feels messy, slow, or invisible—you’re doing it right.
✨ You won’t leave with a to-do list. You’ll leave with permission to rest, be gentle, and try again.
You are not broken. You are becoming.
And you don’t have to do it perfectly to be proud of yourself.
Love you, mean it. Let’s talk. 💛
