This week on Inspire + Move, I’m sitting down with the incredibly talented Carly Ottaway, the author of Coming Home, creator of The Mirror Effect, and founder of the award-winning boutique marketing agency Web of Words. Carly opens up about the soul-led process of writing her first book, how storytelling has shaped every chapter of her life, and what it really looks like to share your truth from the heart. This is one of those conversations that will have you reflecting deeply on your own story, creativity, and the power of slowing down to truly hear what your life is telling you.

Tune in to hear more about:
 • How Carly’s lifelong love of storytelling evolved into building a business and now a published book.
 • The transformation that happens when you write from a place of truth, starting with letters to your younger self.
 • Creative process and rituals: how voice notes, walks, and journal entries became full chapters.
 • Navigating motherhood, entrepreneurship, and authorship all at once and learning to slow down.
• Why paying attention to the signs matters.

Whether you're dreaming of writing a book, stepping into a new season of creativity, or just need the reminder that your story matters, I’d love to know what you took away from this episode! Message me on IG @AlliArruda and stick around for part 2 of our conversation!
