Todays episode is alll about why we seek out external validation and how todays beauty industry and social media is putting sooo much pressure on women and men to alter their bodies and strive for unrealistic perfection, oftentimes utilizing different things to alter ourselves and our bodies. I want to have this conversation because I haven’t really heard it talked about much, but I know as a woman the pressure I have felt when I get on social media and see these unrealistic standards of beauty being portrayed, and the pressure I have felt to have to shift or change myself at times too.  I know what this feels like and have been there, and my hope is that by having the conversation we can all take some time to reflect on what may make us feel like we have to make these changes in the first place.  My hope is for women everywhere to realize that their beauty emulates from within when they are connected to their hearts and know who they are, it doesn’t come from altering our physical bodies or our faces. And to reflect more deeply to understand if our need to change ourselves is coming from external pressure, or a feeling of not enough ness or unworthiness within.  And I just want to remind you, You are whole, complete and beautiful because of who you are on the inside, not because of what you look like on the outside. I love you and am excited to expand and evolve together through this conversation.  20 mins in I talk about my experience with botox and the energy that showed up for me + 25 mins in I chat about how us being obsessed with our bodies and looks has us disconnected from our hearts as women and that is where our true beauty and power lies.

MASCULINE/FEMININE ENERGIES - AND UNDERSTANDING WHAT IN YOU ATTRACTED YOUR RELATIONSHIP TO BEGIN WITH This episode is all about understanding the fundamentals of masculine and feminine energies and relating it back to how your current or past relationships have been operating.. For me theres been relationships where I operated more in my feminine and some where I was more in my masculine. I also explain the dynamics of wounded masculine and feminine and how that could be showing up for you… while relating it to examples of each of my past partnerships because I have definitely experienced the toxic masculine e and the more beta masculine sides of a relationship and I have also played the role of the alpha female/beta female within my own relationships in the past as well.  We discuss how to identify this and ways to begin shifting this if you’re noticing you’re operating out of that boss babe/ alpha female energy… because ultimately if you find your power and you stay there too long - it will lead to burnout and resentment and you will no longer be able to tolerate your partner - especially if he’s the man - if he’s remaining in that beta role for too long - it just does not work.  I also want to share this because my hope and goal is to help relationships come back together and create a sacred union - rather than continue to see relationships separate - because it feels like a freaking epidemic right now and my hope is that from my hindsight can be your foresight or whatever that phrase is!  I didn’t know what I know now and I couldn’t have known what I now understand if I hadn’t experienced these relationship dynamics myself.  But ultimately this comes down to each individual having the courage to look at their own past hurts and wounding and to go on the inner journey to heal themselves.. and when you do this and become whole healthy happy and complete as An individual… and then bring that back to your partnership - in a perfect  world you can create the relationship of your dreams where both parties feel heard  + seen, and the man can feel respected and honoured and needed, and the woman can feel chosen, loved and adored… and can ultimately create that sacred union i believe we all really crave deep down.  LINKS FOR SHOW NOTES: LINKS MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE: ⁠You-e29paoo

Guys I had another episode that accidentally published early -even though I had wanted this one to be episode 14 in honour of Maddox' 5th Birthday today since it's the 14th and this was supposed to be episode 14 - but we are rolling with the double post this week! Being his 5th birthday... it felt right to share an episode about motherhood and some reflections I've had regarding what I wish I knew as a first time mom. That so many things we worry about don't actually really prepare us for motherhood and some things I wish I knew as a first time mom that I thought may be helpful to share with others... like the physical things you need to be prepared, some info around nursing and breastfeeding, wellness checks, birth and so much more! I feel like I have SO much to say and share around this topic and I could get a lot more specific in order to help and support mothers in this area as well.. feel free to answer the spotify poll to help me figure out what other info could be helpful for you to learn about and have me go more in detail about. And most of all for all my new mamas.. give yourself grace and ASK FOR HELP!! Do not be ashamed to admit if you are overwhelmed or unsure about things! Your mama friends would be glad to help you. + If you're a mom and are listening.. just know its a journey and you're meant to evolve, change and grow - I didn't know everything I know now with my first 2 babies and theres SO much I would do differently with the next baby based on the knowledge I have learned since then.. so be kind to yourself - you are always doing the best you can with the information you have <3 Sending so much love on your mama journey, no matter what stage you are at.

This was my first guest episode I recorded!! I was so excited to have Tara Bosch - the founder of Smart Sweets. She has been listed in Forbes 30 under 30 and built up Smart Sweets to over 100 million dollars before the age of 30 which is a MASSIVE accomplishment. She is also local to the Vancouver area, and we actually were connected because of my first bodybuilding coach Dawn Thornton and when she had started smart sweets out of her kitchen, my coach at the time had told me what she was working on! It is just so special to see how far she has come. We talked through vision + how much having the vision and the belief within you really is the difference of what makes you successful… and how you MUST have a heart centred vision around service in order to be blessed with all of the abundance available to you.  She is also a solo mama, who’s navigated a separation and motherhood while also building a massive multimillion dollar business. Just seriously so proud of her and loved chatting wit her about business <3 Hope you guys will love this episode as much as I did!

Key Points: - Identifying What’s Driving You to Want ‘Success’ - Questions to Ask yourself to find your Mission/Vision/Purpose - Identifying Your Gifts A recap from Danny Morel Financial Intensive this Summer: I talk about how some peoples drive for success can be out of a place of wounding, that eventually will lead to unfulfillment and burnout.  Also.. identifying what are you chasing success for? Who is it for? Is it rooted in purpose and vision and mission? Or external material goods?  Tim Sae Koo was the speaker who taught this first lesson I also talk about how I chased allll the things society said I should chase in order to be deemed ‘successful’ and none of those things really lead me to a place of happiness or fulfilment. I achieved them sure but it wasn’t rooted in what I truly really wanted for me.  also… the darkness of materialism and chasing Brand name stuff - and identifying where the desire is coming from.  Phase 1 : Ego Driven - Identifying if the drive/desire is ego centred Phase 2 : Shedding the Ego and losing the self Phase 3: Mission Driven in service to Others - and no longer about self Identifying the things that reallllly matter to you and how those things are meant to be different amongst each other + how those thins that REALLY pain you can be the things that are related to your MISSION in life.  Questions to Reflect On: What kind of mission humbles me to contribute my heart? Somewhere you’re willing to contribute your time without receiving money in return? Whats such a calling on your heart you’re willing to invest your heart and energy there without a monetary return … and how this can relate to why you’re building your business What am I doing when I am in total flow and joy in relation to serving others? Where do you find you have a natural gift?  What is a moonshot that will take at least my lifetime to do?  What could I see myself contributing 2 lifetimes worth in order to accomplish? What are the BIGGEST moments of hurt, heartache, pain, and suffering in your life?  What things have you overcome that you now are able to help others?  What do you love? What does the world need? What can you be paid for? And what are you good at?  What we greatly overcome in our life is often a reallllly big clue. Often the hardships you’ve been through is on purpose so you can utilize that to serve humanity an help others overcome it Lastly : The Freedom Ladder and identifying where you are at on your journey right now and where you want to be.  LINKS MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE: ⁠Money Mindset Freebie⁠ FOLLOW ME ON SOCIAL BELOW: ⁠Instagram⁠ ⁠Tik Tok⁠

I feel like this is one of the most challenging decisions to make... but even more challenging when there are kids involved. It is so difficult and alll of the thoughts about what people might think or if youre ruining your childrens lives begin to pop in. I get it. I had all of the same thoughts.. in this episode I just share some things I did to try to make the transition as seamless as possible while ensuring I kept priroitizing their well being above all else. I also share how much they actually helped me to make this decision by thinking about what type of relationship I wanted my boys to grow up witnessing, as I know the impact it can have on what they accept in their relationships in the future or what they see as 'love' and 'partnership'. Sending you so much love as you navigate this transition.. whether it be a divorce, separation or are just trying to still decide what to do - it is not easy.

Cassaundras story is so powerful with so many lessons of the grit, resilience and power of a decision in your life. No matter what you are dealt as a child, no matter what hardships you faced, you have the power to decide to create a different life and to shift the reality your children experience. It all starts with you and your decision to choose differently. We chat through childhood trauma, as well as how parenting allows us to also heal and reparent parts of our own inner child as we parent our children. It really is such an incredibly beautiful journey and I am so proud of this mama for everything she has accomplished and how she continue to grow and expand her vision of what is possible for her life.

This episode is a recap from day 1 of the financial intensive I attended with Danny Morels Inner Circle Program back in August! This was wildly helpful to workout what the actual numbers were .. and it was shocking how much less I needed to make than I thought. Which allowed me to get crystal clear on actual savings amounts for 5 year and 10 year goals. I also share about understanding if your business is scaleable + how to get clear on what you want to achieve and accomplish in terms of goals + identifying recent wins!

Ok my second ceremony… freaking WILD. Brought me through history to show me our innate connection to Mother Earth/ Gaia/ Creator Energy / God and how the collective has lost their way and how colonialism has essentially tried to wash away old traditions and tribes into what we are living like today in the modern world.. sicker than ever before + more disconnected than ever before. I tried to explain this the best way I could while wanting to be respectful of all cultures as well- ultimately it showed me the darkness within different areas of history and what’s moved us to where we are today and the way we can start to shift things is with our children. It was a beautiful experience.. and it also showed me how materialism is suffocating people and that were missing true beauty by distractions of Hollywood and artificial beauty within that space. Everything I say is with love.. stop seeking externally for happiness or beauty- it’s within you because of who you are- no surgery or filler will ever make you feel the true essence of beauty that you are when you learn to find that peace joy and fulfillment within. I say it all with love because I want you to be happy… and to evolve and expand into your healthiest and happiest self. With love - Carly

Ok I wasn’t sure if I was going to share a full breakdown of my entire experience here but I know some of you are dying to hear about my first experience with plant medicine.. so I wanted to record while it’s fresh in my mind and share my experience with all of you who have been wanting an update and wanting to listen! It was unbelievably beautiful and just a magical experience overall. I connected with my spirit daughter the entire time and she led me through the whole experience. It was beautiful + I’m excited to go deeper tonight.
