Description

Life is messy, beautiful, demanding, and full of moments that can leave us spinning. The hardest part of leading your life? Leading yourself.


This podcast is about doing it differently. It’s about pausing long enough to question the stories running in your head, and creating small shifts that make a big difference in how you show up every day.


Each week, Carla shares real stories, fresh perspectives, and simple tools to help you see your life through a new lens. Think of it as a space to exhale, get honest, and pick up practical ideas you can actually use.


We can’t control everything that comes our way—but we can choose how we move through it. Differently is here to help you do just that.

Send Carla a message! A deep change in the way that we live requires a deep change in the way that we think—especially when it comes to what we try to control. When uncertainty creeps in and the ground beneath us feels shaky, our instinct is to grasp for control over external circumstances and other people's behaviors. We believe that if we can just perfect our environment or achieve that next milestone, inner peace will follow. Yet this approach rarely delivers the stability we seek. Let's...
