Sometimes transformation doesn’t come from big, cinematic moments.
It starts with a whisper—and a weird idea that doesn’t make any sense at all.

In this episode, Carly shares the story behind a single intuitive nudge: “Jump in the ocean every week.” What started as a spontaneous experiment turned into one of the most transformative years of her life.

From burnout and identity loss to commitment, freedom, and unexpected clarity—this is for the woman in the messy middle who’s craving something real.

Inside this episode:

• The truth about transformation (it’s not always sexy)
• Why you don’t need to know why something matters
• What happens when you follow your body, not your brain
• How keeping one promise to yourself can change everything
• An invitation to start your next chapter—even if it makes zero sense

This one’s a love letter to the part of you that’s so ready for something more.

In the final part of the Feminine Freedom series, we’re talking about the one thing that all the other pillars—health, home, and wealth—are ultimately in service of: happiness. But here’s the catch—joy isn’t something you “earn” once you’ve done enough healing, hired help, or hit your income goals. It’s something you choose in the here and now.

This episode is a loving truth bomb for the woman who’s done everything right… and still doesn’t feel lit up. If you’ve been living in anticipation of “one day,” this conversation will bring you back to today. I unpack the real science of joy (dopamine vs. presence), why we’ve been taught to chase happiness outside of ourselves, and the simple mindset shift that brings your energy, creativity, and fulfillment back online.

Whether you're on the edge of a big life transition or just tired of the hustle, this is your reminder: joy isn’t the result—it’s the path.

Inside this episode:

• The real reason your achievements haven’t brought lasting joy
• Why “the pursuit of happiness” is misleading
• How to rewire your nervous system to feel alive again
• My shift to bi-weekly episodes and what’s next while I’m in Europe

Let this be your permission slip to stop chasing and start choosing.

Stay bold, stay balanced, and I’ll see you next week.

Most women don’t feel powerful with money—and it’s not their fault. From outdated cultural scripts to financial double standards, we’ve been taught to play small, save quietly, and feel shame around wealth.

In this episode of the Feminine Freedom series, Carly breaks down the real reason so many women feel overwhelmed, broke, or unworthy of abundance—and what to do instead.

You’ll learn:

• Why the stats (and search results) are stacked against us
• How to shift from fear-based money habits to feminine overflow
• What it means to have a relationship with your money
• Why investing in yourself isn’t ego—it’s empowerment
• A simple mindset reframe that opens the door to more

Whether you're an entrepreneur or not, this is about wealth as energy, identity, and freedom. This is about trusting yourself to make bold, powerful decisions that reflect the version of you you’re becoming.

It’s time to stop shrinking—and start building.
