You don’t become that girl by accident. The one who walks in with quiet confidence and makes the whole room feel different. Her presence doesn’t scream for attention, but you feel it. She’s not perfect, but she’s grounded. And let’s cut the fluff: becoming her has nothing to do with aesthetics or aesthetic routines. It’s not about matching outfits, flawless skin, or a curated feed. It’s about the raw, behind-the-scenes stuff… it’s about being true to yourself even when it’s hard. Especially when it’s hard.
This isn’t just another “glow-up” list. This is your deep, soulful, zero-fluff guide to becoming her. We’re diving into the real work: how to develop emotional resilience, build habits rooted in self-respect, and create a life that feels good, not just looks good. If you’re tired of surface-level advice, this one’s for you.
What Does It Mean to Be That Girl?
More than a trend—it’s a commitment to your highest self.
Being that girl is a mindset, not a morning routine. It’s choosing self-trust over external validation… showing up for your goals even when motivation is gone. It’s healing your triggers, protecting your peace, and chasing alignment over approval. Becoming her means crafting a life where your values, habits, and mindset are all in sync. It’s not about being perfect. It’s about being aligned.

10 Bold Ways To Be THAT Girl
1. Heal What Hurts—For Real
You can’t become her while carrying emotional baggage that doesn’t belong in your next chapter. So yes, the first step is inner work—and it’s not always pretty.
Here’s how to start doing it effectively:
- Name your wounds. Is it abandonment? Rejection? People-pleasing? Call it what it is.
- Get support. Therapy, journaling, breathwork, or trauma-informed coaching. You don’t have to do it alone.
- Track your triggers. Notice what activates your anxiety or shame—they’re clues to what still needs healing.
Healing isn’t linear, but every time you pause instead of react, that’s growth. And that is what becoming her looks like.
2. Build a Ritual, Not Just a Routine
Structure isn’t restrictive, it’s supportive. Forget hustle culture. We’re creating rituals that ground you, not routines that drain you.
Try this:
- AM Ritual: No phone for the first 20 mins. Make your bed. Move your body. Say 3 affirmations that actually feel true.
- Midday Reset: Drink water. Touch grass. Ask yourself: “What do I need right now to feel regulated?”
- Evening Wind-down: Ditch the doom scroll. Try journaling with a simple prompt like: “What did I do today that moved me closer to the woman I want to be?”
The goal isn’t productivity. The goal is presence.
3. Curate Your Digital & Emotional Diet
What you consume is who you become. Your content, your conversations, your self-talk—they all shape your identity.
Do a detox:
- Unfollow comparison triggers. If she makes you feel like you’re behind, she’s not your muse.
- Mute negativity—even in your group chats. Protect your vibe.
- Subscribe to nourishment. Podcasts like The Mindset Mentor, On Purpose with Jay Shetty, or The Amazing Me Movement blog can help rewire your thinking.
Becoming her means consciously choosing what enters your mind and heart.
4. Set Boundaries That Match Your Worth
“No” is a complete sentence. You cannot be her if you’re constantly shrinking for other people’s comfort.
How to set bold boundaries:
- Decide what’s non-negotiable. Your rest? Your emotional safety? Your creative time?
- Communicate clearly, not apologetically. “I’m not available for that” is a full sentence.
- Hold your boundary, even when it’s uncomfortable. You’ll lose people who benefited from your lack of them. Let them go.
Remember: Peace over pleasing. Always.

5. Move Your Body to Celebrate, Not Punish
The goal is to feel alive, not smaller. Your body isn’t a project. It’s your home. Treat it with reverence.
Here’s how to move intuitively:
- Ask yourself, “What movement feels nourishing today?” Not what burns the most calories.
- Add music to your workouts. Vibe > reps.
- Try somatic exercises like stretching, dancing, or shaking to release stuck energy.
The goal isn’t perfection. The goal is embodiment.
6. Fall Deeply in Love With Learning
A growth-oriented mindset is your superpower. Want to become her? Stay a student. Always.
Make it a lifestyle:
- Read one book a month on mindset, healing, or purpose.
- Listen to audiobooks while walking or cleaning.
- Take mini-courses on Skillshare or Coursera that align with your dream life.
Intelligence is magnetic. Keep feeding your fire.
7. Audit Your Circle—Relentlessly
You can’t elevate with people who drain you. Energy is contagious. If you’re serious about becoming her, you’ll need a high-vibe company.
Evaluate your people:
- Do they light you up or dim your shine?
- Do they root for your healing or keep you stuck in old roles?
- Do you feel safe to evolve around them?
Keep the ones who clap when you grow.
8. Romanticize the Mundane
Joy is hidden in the details. This isn’t toxic positivity. It’s about choosing to see the magic in the now.
Ideas to try:
- Create a signature coffee or tea ritual.
- Use fancy plates for solo dinners.
- Make a morning playlist that sets the tone.
- Narrate your life like it’s a Netflix show—just for fun.
Becoming her is not about escaping your life. It’s about falling in love with it.
9. Get Financially Empowered, Not Just Stable
Money mindset equates to freedom mindset. You can’t become her if you’re afraid to check your bank account.
Level up with clarity, not fear:
- Use apps like YNAB, Rocket Money, or Goodbudget to track spending.
- Follow creators like Tori Dunlap (Her First 100K) for financial literacy tips.
- Learn about investing, even if you’re starting with $5.
Financial confidence = the freedom to build the life you want on your terms.
10. Speak to Yourself Like She’s Already Here
Your inner voice becomes your identity. You can’t become her if you keep tearing yourself down.
Reframe your self-talk:
- Instead of: “I’m not good enough.”
- Try: “I’m becoming the woman I admire.”
- Instead of: “I’m failing.”
- Try: “I’m figuring it out, and that’s brave.”
Affirmations don’t have to be cheesy. They just have to be yours.
15 Powerful Self Discovery Questions You Need to Ask Yourself
Glow Up for You, Not for Them
Let’s be clear: your glow-up is not a performance. You don’t need to get hotter for your ex, more successful for your critics, or trendier for strangers online. Becoming her starts with asking, What do I want to feel like in my own body and life?
Here’s how to stay rooted in self-aligned growth:
- Check your motivation. Are you doing this to impress or to feel proud of yourself?
- Celebrate silent wins. Not everything needs to be posted or validated.
- Unfollow timelines. Your journey is not a race or a comparison game.
You don’t have to prove anything. You already are enough. Glow up because it brings you peace, joy, and power, not pressure.
The more you choose yourself, the less you need others to.
