Carolyn Wiger: Bird Set Free | Pod Friends

This week’s Pod Friends guest is the iconic Carolyn Wiger (@car0lynr0se), fan-favorite from Survivor 44, The Traitors 3, and co-host of the Let’s Get Tribal podcast. In this deeply heartfelt conversation with host Matt Scott (@MattScottGW), Carolyn opens up about her incredible journey as a single mother, drug counselor, and life coach, and how she’s navigating her “freedom era.” Known for her raw authenticity and emotional depth, Carolyn reflects on her experiences with sobriety, motherhood, and the importance of embracing imperfections.

Listen as Carolyn shares touching stories about raising her son, building open communication, and finding beauty in struggle. Learn how she transformed personal challenges—addiction, ADHD, and abusive relationships—into opportunities for growth and connection. Whether you’re a Survivor fan or inspired by her resilience and honesty, this episode is a masterclass in self-compassion, empathy, and the power of staying true to yourself.
